52 1/11/99
5/11/04 Top Line
When prosperity leads to decay, misfortune. Imagine a city wall collapsing into its own moat. In times of collapse, it helps no one to fight against overwhelming odds. Moral strength is called for instead of violence. In times of peace, necessary defenses can erode. The city becomes vulnerable to attack. Try not to be like the citizens who, becoming lazy and indifferent, put their homes at risk. Be prepared for external problems. Do not allow yourself to become complacent.

Fifth Line - Ruling line (yielding)

Fourth Line

4 1/11/99 Third Line
Change is the great constant of the universe. What goes up must come down. Just as the ripest, sweetest fruit hangs by a mere thread, so periods of prosperity often fall of their own weight. Death and decay are always with us; they can be held at bay temporarily, but never banished altogether. Let this knowledge dwell like an eternal flame inside you. Only by being realistic about the world can you escape the illusion that good fortune lasts forever, and prepare properly for your destiny.

Second Line - Ruling line (firm)
The great danger in any time of peace is a weakening of resolve at the center of things. The true leader uses such periods to tend to all necessary tasks, pleasant and unpleasant, safe and unsafe, so that nothing is neglected. The master of events, like any great artist, finds a use for everything, and gives everyone a role to play. Be watchful for the rise of factions or cliques; they are often the first sign of approaching decay. (46)

5/11/04 Bottom line
In times of peace and prosperity, an individual of high purpose is able to draw like-minded people to a good cause. As such people become available to you, enlist their support. Now is the time for people of talent to set out to accomplish something.

Earth stands above heaven and heaven seems to be on earth. The gravity of matter merges with the upward radiation of the light to merge in a deep harmony. This juxtaposition denotes a time of peace and blessings for all living things. In the affairs of men, tranquility comes when the good, strong and powerful show favor to the lowly, and those of more modest means are well disposed towards those who are currently blessed. There is an end to all feuds. In such a state, energy is high, the way clear, and the prospects for great success outstanding. A deep chaos abides in nature, but man, by carefully responding to the rhythms and cycles of the world around him, can find peace in the natural world. By planting the right crop in the right place in the right season, the farmer brings harmony to the natural world of plants, and prosperity to his family. Similarly, any business must adjust to the natural cycles of the season; only through flexibility and adjustment can order and growth be maintained. Peace produces a time of flowering and prosperity; the wise person channels this positive energy to all quarters, to each in proper proportion, just as a farmer waters his field. But be vigilant: otherwise, peaceful conditions can foster the growth of weeds as well as flowers.

Thursday, July 09, 1998 Question: impact on me of DB's plans for developing New York

# 11 Moving to 36 Ming I - Darkening of the Light

BD just told me that he wanted me to be responsible for the opportunity and access in the New York area. He's positive and gung-ho about it and I'm uncomfortable. 1) it's fortress New York and I'm an outsider. 2) I'm not sure they want to buy what we want to sell. I'm unsure about the movement to 36. Don't know yet what is going to turn out the light though this quote from the hexagram may explain it

"Those around you who have greater power have views adverse and contrary to your own. Take the correct path, but be patient and hide your ambitions and abilities. Don't try to defend your views or contradict others. Eventually, you will reach your goal".

Question: Would the people I interviewed with consider offering me a job
Moving to Youthful folly or inexperience

Getting Youthful folly as an ultimate outcome of as a primary hexagram can mean that you asked a stupid question.

Question: Outlook for a actual interview with FCG
Moving to 52 (line 2 ruling)

seems this is a day where I will just have to wait and see. They said they'd call back tomorrow. Nothing will probably come of it but I do need to record that I got up yesterday morning and felt very strongly that I needed to apply for a job. I found this and put my resume in and then I was very sure they would call. Unfortunately I didn't have any feelings beyond the process of submit resume and they would call. I've never had Nora's gift for timing. She once told me that I'd get a job in a particular industry and an acquaintance called two days later with a job opportunity. that one fell through but within her timeframe a headhunter called from out of the blue and I did end up taking the job she'd seen. This is especially interesting since an old friend called earlier this morning with the distant possibility of work through his firm. Two in one day and both called me. The problem is things can come in and out of incipient possibility without rhyme or reason.

I should mention this job is 100% travel and the pay is terrible. It has one and only one thing to recommend it. It's in a field that I think will offer some long term opportunities.

Did a tarot reading to get some more information -- not good but still informative. The tarot cards say that they'll give me a pass and that I'll get bent out of shape that no one wants me. On the other hand they also imply that I'm considering this just because I'm feeling very desperate
