Temujin.ethWeekly I Ching - August 27 2023
PreambleIt feels like the pressure is on, and just when we need to rise to the occasion, exhaustion sets in. This is fated for all of us from time to time; it cannot be avoided. The Book of Changes tells us that one who lets their spirit be broken by exhaustion certainly has no success. Sometimes, all we can seek to do is to overcome a problem inwardly, in preparation to act outwardly at a more favourable time. Those who cultivate this inner approach to problem solving, without falling into m...

SummaryThe reading for this week is favourable. Abundance comes naturally, and those who understand the responsibility that comes with it are best fitted to maintain it. Reach for your goals, trust the competency of friends, and enjoy this time of harmony. The I Ching specifically gives us the image of a wagon this week. My interpretation is thus: when preparing for a large task or journey, we must be ready to set out with the supplies needed to ensure success. The wagon can safely handle a h...
Temujin.ethWeekly I Ching - September 10 2023
PreambleA new dawn is here. Any turbulence or remnant darkness clears as the sun rises over the Earth, beginning a new day. This situation as described in the I Ching denotes a window of easy progress, coupled with widening clarity. It also is reminiscent of a strong, obedient individual in service of a wise ruler. It is under these conditions that great progress is made. This is a welcome change after a few weeks of cautionary readings from the Oracle. Go gently into the brightening day.Orac...

Retreat, when done properly, is an action that comes from a position of strength. It is different from taking flight, which is an act of trying to escape at any cost. Retreat is the considered withdrawal from a situation that comes before the counter-movement. It perpetuates one’s advantage over an opponent.
The rationalistic Western mind sometimes has difficulty grasping this difference - our culture is steeped in a paradigm that sees only unrelenting progress… a mechanical, linear type of advance. This domain of action is exemplified best by machines, and we can leave it to them. For us humans, the dance is more complex, and joyfully is it so.
Keep your force, cultivate detachment, and let the rising Darkness tire itself out. The counter-movement will come in time.

Mercury moves into retrograde tomorrow, we are already in the shadow. There will be a solar eclipse next week. Nevertheless this has been a joyful Easter weekend, and I hope it has been for you as well.
Blessings to you all.
