A good time for "renewing
contacts, looking up old friends."
No. 11, Peace / Advance / Prospering:
"Peace. The small departs,
The great
approaches.
Good fortune. Success."
"The time resembles the exciting beginning of spring, when the
cosmic forces are in inspired harmony." [Wing]
The key here is natural growth. "See yourself
as a young tree now. The ground around you is fertile; sun and water and wind are plentiful. By maintaining
your focus on moving upward toward light and clarity, you can reach great heights."
[Walker]
"This is not
necessarily the best time for initiating ventures that require a great deal of push and shove. It is best for
renewing contacts, looking up old friends, and generally being sociable and companionable."
[Marshall]
Current petty conflicts will "depart"
if you let them go. We received two changing lines, Lines 2 and 4, that will help us stay on the path of Peace.
Tomorrow: "Fording the river with resolution."

No. 5,� Waiting� /� Calculated Inaction: No. 5,� Waiting� /� Calculated Inaction:
"Waiting.�
If you are sincere,
You have light and success.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water."
�
�����
The essentials are in place for positive things to happen, but you are going to have to Wait, and let it all come
together.
�
�����
If you spend much of your time engaging with electronics --- computers, cell phones, television, etc. --- you come to expect
a response to your requests
instantly.�������
This hexagram is the Yi's reminder:� The natural, human world doesn't work that way!
�
����� "We should not worry and
seek to shape the future by interfering in things before the time is ripe.�We should fortify the
body with food and drink and the mind with gladness and good cheer.� Fate comes when it will, and thus
we are ready." [Wilhelm]
�
..�����
How long will we have to Wait?� This hexagram arrived without changing lines.� That means:� As long as
it
takes.

"The way in which the Book of Changes works can best
be compared to an electrical circuit reaching into all situations . .

There's a way through these relationship difficulties . . .
No.
8 Holding Together / Union / Unity:
"Holding Together brings good fortune. Inquire of the oracle once again Whether you
possess the sublimity, constancy, and perseverance; Then there
is no blame. Those who are uncertain gradually join. Whoever comes too late Meets
with misfortune."
"Every union meets with challenges, and if we
are not resolute against the effects of fear, doubt, despair, and anger,
no lasting success will be possible in any relationship." [Walker]
We all have
many relationships: intimate partners, family,friends, jobs. Which one of these relationships
is difficult for you --- right now?
The Yi says: Hang in there!
This is the third "relationship" message we have received in a row: First, The Clan,
then Gathering Together, and now Holding Together; meaning: There's a way through these
relationship difficulties. But it will take "sublimity, constancy, and perseverance."

"Great good fortune"
and "No blame" !
No. 45, Gathering Together / Bringing Together, Line 4:
"Great good fortune. No blame."
"Receiving this line may be affirming that a person is sincere in his way of
life, and he therefore gathers the blessings of the Cosmos." [Anthony & Moog]
Think about it. "Great good fortune." and
"No blame." What could be better?
This is the only changing line we received, meaning: If you gather with others to serve a higher purpose,
your own, personal success will follow as a result.
Have you been hesitating to join a larger cause? Don't. It will benefit you
the most, in the long run, as we will see in tomorrow's future reading . . .
Tomorrow: "Holding Together"

Break
out the "big animals"
No.
45, Gathering Together / Bringing Together:
Gathering
together. Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to see the great man.
This
brings success. Perseverance furthers.
To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
It furthers one to undertake
something."
"Our power
as individuals is multiplied when we gather together as families, groups, and communities with
common goals. It is our collective strength that makes positive change possible." [Walker]
Yesterday's message was The Family/The
Clan. Today's is Gathering Together. And the future message will be --- spoiler alert--- Holding
Together.
Are we getting the
message here? The Yi is saying: Now is not the time to be the lone wolf. Cooperation
is called for.
And
don't hold back. You need to throw yourself into this --- in a big way. Wilhelm's
translation says " . . . bring great offerings." Huang says, "Use big
animals."
Tomorrow: " . . . gather with others to serve a larger goal."
