Day 22,036 - Images from the I Ching: Fire [The Clinging, The Clarity] over Sky [The Creative, The Strong] (Hexagram 03 - Wealth, Great Possessions, Great Harvest, Sovereignty) changing towards Thunder [The Arousal, The Shock] over Wind [The Gentle, The Penetrating] (Hexagram 36 - Endurance, Continuance, Long Lasting, Duration, Constancy) -- In this image of Fire over Sky we have the ability to see clearly that which surrounds us ... It can be a time to make progress where the going has been sluggish. It may not be at all obvious, or logical, but the fact that we suddenly are able to accurately and deeply understand the context in which we find ourselves should not become a stumblying block for us. Don't question it. Appreciate it and work with it. The time to act may be short. If we are able to see, we should simply act. There will be time to analyze later. As the saying goes, "make hay while the sun shines." In this image, the sun is high in the sky and there are no clouds. This may mean that there will be minimal confusion. Our work could, at least for the moment, become suddenly smooth and free of obstacles. This may be the ideal time to take advantage of some unexpected help or ideal conditions. This will not always be the case, and may even be the last clear path for the foreseeable future, so take a few steps with confidence and push forward your long-desired plans.
How many times have we been frustrated with circumstances, people and the lack of resources standing in the way of our goals. The Universe provides many pockets of opportunities if we are open to see them. We often miss them because we are not looking, or because we have limited or closed our perspctive, leaving us unaware of our opportunities. Often we find out only after it is too late. Even if we do recognize the opportunity, we may be caught off guard, unable to act when there are ideal conditions. This is a reminder to think through, in advance, our strategies and put in place the resources we will need in the presence of those opportunities.
The sign of Fire over Sky brings together the Clarity of the outer Clinging Fire and the strength of the inner Sky. Keep your eyes (Fire) open and move with the strength (Sky) available. Timing and efficiency are important here, for the window of opportunity may be tight.
Since There are two changing lines present in this image [6,1], there is movement toward Thunder over Wind ... This is also a strong image that holds a great deal of promise. External Thunder, with its inherent movement and direction is an effective follow-on to the external Fire. The Clarity of Fire, that allows us to _see_ the path opening up, combined with the Catalyst of the Outer Thunder, reprenting the motivation to actually act is a context for change. The inner, powerful, creative Sky is moving towards the inner Penetrating Wind, fueled by breath, spirit, and strong thighs ... All together, these elements give us momentum for a sustained, productive effort. If the tasks ahead are complex, exhausting or spread out among a myriad of obstacles, this image of Thunder over Wind could very easily pick up that which was started in the context of Fire over Sky and carry it to a satisfying, productive result.
We often long for times like that illustrated within these images. Are we prepared to act on them?
