Good Morning H-19

Approach Is The Idea For Today

Ritsema/Karcher: "Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting."

Good Morning H-10

Hexagram 10

by James Byrd

I. The Oracle

A. Treading Carefully, with this we see it is best at this time for "The Superior Man," or one to display correct conduct, there will be some progress if one does not, intentionally or unintentionally step on the Tiger`s Tail. We must guard our speech and behavior so that any premature actions do not bring the ceiling down on all in the room. Hexagram Ten in short means not to tread on the tail of the strong, their position is just that, the place of the strong. When all puzzle pieces are correctly adjutant they are in their correctly appointed places. With respect to all, do not overreach your authority.

1. The Tiger`s Tail.
2. This means that one must mind his or her manners or bad things will happen, in most cases, staying within the means, or middle way is the appropriate action at this time. The will of the people will suffice.

B. The Image

1. Heaven above, the lake below, hence, we see that of the sky above that of a marsh. There the Tiger hides with his mighty claws waiting for the prey, you are not by nature his prey, so he ignores your scent, but you must be careful as not to step on his tail as you are now following very close to, 11 Peace. Focus on health and exercise.
a) The image, thus the superior man discriminates between high and low, and thereby fortifies the thinking of the people. Carry Respect.
b) Treading on the Tiger`s Tail. It does not bite the man. Success.

"When you are certain of ultimate success, it doesn’t matter even if you stomp on the tiger’s tail. The most important thing is to take action, when conditions are favorable. But great caution and consideration should be taken beforehand, so that the outcome is clear before you make your move." ~ 10 Trending Carefully

II. My interpretation

A. The story is that of the one-eyed man who thinks he sees all, but steps on the Tiger`s Tail, because he only sees things in one way, that of a Bravo who at the moment is acting out, and we can say, his aims are good but his modus operandi is somewhat too forceful, given the current situation. If only this person would be somewhat apprehensive during these well-tuned times.

If so, there will be good fortune for all. It is the prudent action of the people that should prevail, that mere act, will not be colluded towards any circumstance. If only the man would not jester on his own accord, but instead, act in accordance with the will of the people, let the audience vote on the answer, which will be the correct dynamics of that time.

If this man is not of a quiet type and of a somewhat solitary type demeanor while occupying his correct potion, then all will not fall into place, completion is what we are after now folks. Mind you again, he is not the one the tiger is stalking, but if he steps into the wrong concerns without the consent of his people, there will be peril. Now if he does indeed watches his steps and heed the omens of time, all is well for all. There will be a crowd, you will be challenged, talking equals six, that of conflict, just do this, stay calm and proper.

Good Morning H-60

Line 3 -

: "To live a life of leisure before having contributed to society; to act willfully and selfishly in violation of reasonable rules and customs; to defy social conventions for the thrill of doing so -- these are excesses that lead to seriously unfavorable consequences. Take initiative, and find pleasure, inside the bounds of what is fair and proper." ~ http://divination.com/iching/lookup/60-2/

Good Morning H-54

The Marrying Maiden

by James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Now with this situation, I can say with very little doubt, that there will be nothing to be gained by advancing at this time. "Go Easy." The Marrying Maiden is accompanied by her younger sister who is the vested consort. With these terms, all is well, but if by chance the consort is the older sister all will not be well. And of course, twins would make it a very difficult situation. It's "Domestic", just turn-a-round and walks away. On all accounts, the marriage can without penalties be canceled until the situation fairs well. To hold such an important event as a wedding at such an inopportune moment, would be the same as a cloudy sky but no rain.

1. The Marrying Maiden.
2. This means the end of life as a maiden and the beginning of motherhood for a young girl if this position is adopted at the correct time.

B. The Image

1. Thunder over the Lake
a) The image, one must know this in order for there to be a favorable ending one must take measures to ensure a correct and timely beginning.
b) Thus the superior man is careful in the differentiation of things so that each finds its correct place and time. Now I ask you, is the moon nearly full now?

II.My interpretation

A. The main theme with Hexagram 54 is, do not be overoptimistic at this time. Things, in this case, could go wrong during the duration of a quick marriage if granted at an inopportune moment.

1. I agree, no one is perfect but tries at best to ensure that the happiness of that significant other is handled with care when planning such a memorable event as an, one and only, everlasting wedding. I can also say this after the next full moon, go for it. -This is full, that is full.- Could be that is why, -Honey Moon.- Marriage is good, but we must start with a good beginning in order to end with a good and auspicious duration which should lead to that of Abundance, all parts working right, crank-out some more of those.
