Last week, we were given abundance, and this week we are given its compliment: Limitation. Limitation is not about putting limits on potential, but more about accepting that our capacities are not. Now is a time for focusing on quality over quantity, and setting practical limits on spending one’s vital forces.

This limitation must be lived without going too far into austerity, which is also injurious. There is a balance to be found between mercy and severity with oneself and others. Once done, any obstacles that confront us on the path can be dealt with.

1st: H,H,H > Changing Yang
2nd: H,H,H > Changing Yang
3rd: T,T,T > Changing Yin
4th: H,T,H > Stable Yin
5th: T,T,H > Stable Yang
6th: H,H,T > Stable Yin

The hexagram for this week is Chieh, Limitation

• Above: K’an, Water

• Below: Tui, Lake

The echo of this week’s hexagram, created by the bottom trigram’s lines all in change, is Obstruction (Chien, 39).

Blessings to you all.
