We have arrived at another turning point for the year. Today the seasons change, and the rate of change itself, is at its highest. Days are getting shorter or longer, and the stability of Summer or Winter is quickly giving way to Spring and Autumn.

Tensions in the collective consciousness feel extremely strained. People seem very, very pessimistic. With that in mind, the I Ching gives us hexagram 46 as guidance for this week. It describes a plant pushing up through the Earth, denoting growth. Specifically, the books states “adapting itself to obstacles and bending around them, wood in the earth grows upward without haste and without rest”.

The key to success this week then is in patience and faith. Growth is assured, but can’t be rushed. Progress will be consistent, and it will adapt around the inevitable obstacles that do arise. Go with the flow, its OK to change course. Things are now on your side.

3rd: T,T,H > Stable Yang
4th: H,H,T > Stable Yin
5th: H,H,T > Stable Yin
6th: T,H,H > Stable Yin

The hexagram for this week is Sheng, Pushing Upward.

No lines are in change this week. With today’s partial solar eclipse is behind us, a new moon, and the Equinox tomorrow, we are passing through a highly charged window.

Blessings to you all.
