Good Morning H-62
"This hexagram describes your situation in terms of an overwhelming variety of encounters and details. It emphasizes that an excessive concern with adapting yourself to these inner and outer events is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: be excessively small!"

H-23
Hexagram23
I. The Oracle
A. Hexagram twenty-three is related to or has reference to Peeling Off, hence, the splitting apart of something.
Another variation would be the idea of peeling off something such as an onion to get to the core of the origin. The time is not correct for drastic movements in any direction; at best stay still and wait on the will of heaven. Again, there is no advantage in whatever direction one might take at this time, if you do, take it slow.1. Now is not a good time to cross the great water. I say that because as the image depicts, that of the mountain which sits upon the earth. There is no movement with this instance. There is some headway if one recognizes that like the mountain keeping still fares well at this time and yield to the times of meditation and planning for upcoming strategic activities.
2. Splitting Apart:
This is the times of Falling Apart. One must at most strengthen his or her present position by strengthening those below, that way peace and stability are ensured. Remember, the mountain has for its support the earth, in order to fortify the foundation of the mountain, it will fare well to ensure that the density of the earth, or else there will be a collapse. Help from above fortifies the foundation. The bottom of the barrel supports the contents.
B. The Image
1. Mountain sitting on the eartha) In whatever you do expect little movement, except when ensuring the plans of others
b) Thus there is no advantage in whatever direction movement is made unless you are just lucky, the four-leaf clover
II. My interpretation
A. There is a tendency for things to collapse at this time; no matter how well planned the objectives. It’s just not the time. Again, all I can see for today is go nowhere, do nothing, take no action whatever at this time the best resolve is to ensure the plans of others, forego your own plans until a later date.
1. Again, now is not a good time to cross the great river, in plain words, there will be going and coming with some loss. The hexagram has more to do with that bad dream you had last night, and trust me, I know you did. As the hexagram denotes while one is asleep there is an attempt to saw one of the legs of the bed by a prankster, hence, interference of sleep or a bad dream so to speak. I did too. The core of your body is at work doing homeostasis at that time. That could be the reason for the hexagram's warnings against any kind of activities at this time. Most hexagrams have the effects of three days before, and three days after, an indicated change. In three days there are two things about to happen, an eclipse and the spring equinox. Remember, that there is no success in seeking any destinations at this time. The weak prevail over the strong and correct. The superior person recognizes the effects of time and adheres to the fact that at this time within this continuum, the inferior men will at this time be predominating. (Update 7-8-2019) Splitting apart sort of reminds one of an EarthQuake. It recalls the situation of the bell curve and degrees of movement, in this incident, there are three days before and three days after the main event.

Good Morning H-5
"This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being compelled to wait for and serve something. It emphasizes that fixing your attention on what is required while waiting carefully for the right moment to act is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to attend!"
