The earth protects and sustains.
Determination brings about success.
Leadership should be left to another.
Your friends are in the West and South.
Relinquish friends in the East and North.
Assured success.
Improvement whatever you do.
You are moving in the right direction.
Your actions are in tune with the spirit of the universe.

Your situation is one requiring a yielding and receptive nature. This does not mean that you must be passive but rather means that you must find the inspiration for your actions outside of yourself. You must seek out the creative force which complements the leadership of others.

The receptive is just as important as the creative because without the receptive the creative form remains in the realm of ideas and never becomes part of reality.

The creative force is the direction while the receptive force is the action. The creative’s potential ideals is brought into reality by the concrete actions attributed to the world of receptive men.

Your actions must conform with the true spirit of the universe. You must find out what is demanded from the situation and proceed in your duties to accomplish your task. You must seek out friends to help you in your actions but your inspiration will be found in the solitude of your meditations. 

You must respond to the creative spiritual forces coming from outside of you by first determining their justness and then following them through without looking back.


1 –X– Frost is close at hand, Announcing the approach of Winter.

2 –X– Creative and Receptive working in accord. Success is assured. 

The receptive should not put up any resistance to this situation. All things will fall in their proper places and everything will go well. Remain composed and accepting of the situation and the proper way will flow naturally through you and your actions. 

3 –X– Do not take the initiative. You will partake in the great man’s success. Remain modest and determined. 

Once you have freed yourself from your own egotism, it becomes easier to partake of the success of someone else. Once you accept your position, which might be of a secondary nature, you will be rewarded at the right time for the proper poise and actions you have showed. Do not seek approval or credit for your work. Just do your part because you are sure that you know it is right.

4 –X– A closed circle No fault No praise

When living an honourable and sincere life, the wise man will let his actions speak for themselves.

6 –X– Dragons do battle in the fields They bleed of black and yellow blood 

The ruler should always be the strong rather than the weak. The light should rule over darkness. The idea is summonsed of a fight between good and evil, light and dark. The dark elements are trying to rule the situation but the light will overcome. There could be injury to both sides.The lower self must let go and find the guidance of the higher self before it is too late. This unnatural situation might involve injury to the primal powers of heaven and earth within you or to the world around you.
