Whilst in the last month the snake has been holding the reins today two tigers come together to out smart the snake! If the snake uses their intuition today they will solve the problems / obstacles they will face today. If they use will they can come up against the will of the universe!

The picture today is trees pushing down into the hard inhospitable earth. It is difficult to get a purchase in the earth but they persevere. There is a weak sun shining from behind the trees. The Qi is starting to contract in the visible world. In the unseen world there is the potential for strong growth and for the brightness of an internal sun to illuminate and carry one towards the vision splendid of a unified world.

There is no environmental wealth around, wealth is water and when water is missing we have a failure to communicate. With this failure to communicate, and the power and output that surround wealth we have a strong possibility of bullying, false posturing and people 'blowing their own trumpets. Fortunately there is strong resource so it is possible to overcome these tendencies when one is aligned with the will of heaven / universe. When we take a leaf out of the I Ching we can be guided in our daily activities.

Those in clash today are the snake and the monkey. Obstacles aplenty and a possibility for injury to the monkey or the snake. Certainly a rising of temperature / stress / anger is possible. If you can take the attitude this too shall pass then you might find yourself protected. Here is a download of my short 10 minute grounding meditation. grounded_meditation.mp3

The hexagram today has kun over gen which is Qian - humbleness. We have a remedy in the life essence range titled humility. When we are truly able to self reflect and ponder our own place in the scheme of things, when we are able to see that my life is as valuable as yours and yours and yours. That all people contribute to the building of 'nirvana'. That our span on this earth is minuscule and that we are all connected to each other by more things than we are separated from each other. Thus we can further the great work of the TAO.

Our challenge today is to cultivate humility. You are, I am equally important.
