Weekly I Ching - October 13 2024

Summary

Times of transition come in various flavours. Sometimes, they are loud and pronounced, others are more are subtle if not imperceptible. Last week’s balanced situation has given way to gentle change, and this is a week to focus on small details and nuances in our daily lives. It is not a time for big acts, but instead one for contemplation and planning. Victory by inches.

Obstacles that come into view this week are for noticing but that is all. For those of us sitting in a dynamic place energetically, the challenge will be to resist the urge to tackle things the moment they present themselves. Take time instead to study the nature of what will, in time, be overcome.

Closing remarks

The fourth and fifth lines in change give us hexagram 39, Chien, as an echo. In this way the Oracle tells us to contemplate, but not attempt, the challenges that come into view as the week progresses. A full moon in Aries will rise this Thursday.

Blessings to you all.
