Top Line
Is it possible that your ambition exceeds your creative power? If so, there may be cause for remorse. Avoid arrogance, for isolating yourself will only lead to sorrow. Now is not the time to engage in conflicts or criticize others. Relax and recharge your creativity. (arrogant dragon will have cause to repent)
50 3/2/04 Fifth Line - ruling line
All Nature is in accord. Clouds follow the dragon. Wind follows the Tiger. The great man has made his choice. Everyone follows him with their eyes as he reaches the height of his achievement.
(Flying dragon -- the great man rouses himself to his work)

Third Line
A sphere of influence is opening up. Let yourself be active, but do not expect an immediate reward. And don't let your energies become scattered. Hold to your vision and your integrity, and you can make progress in a stable way. Do not use your creative powers just to attract attention to yourself. Remember, freedom is not always an invitation to dance; it may be a chance to step out on a ledge. Be careful. (all day and all night active)

Bottom line
There are hidden elements in this situation that you are not yet able to perceive. Hold your creative power in reserve temporarily, because the timing is not right for action. Trying to make progress now would be like trying to cook noodles in cold water. Wait until the water boils. (Hidden dragon -- do not act)

The air is ripe with imagination, inspiration and energy. The dragon is an ancient symbol of an electrically charged, dynamic, arousing force that bodes well for creative initiative. If your goals are in alignment with the greater good, your actions will meet with success, but this can only happen if you assert yourself in a positive way. This is a good time to exercise leadership, because you can be strong now. But be forewarned: success turns to failure when strength turns to arrogance.  Believe in your dreams and persevere, and everything around you will flourish. Call upon creative power and let it work through you. Stay focused on your goals; do not let yourself be distracted, or you may lose the power available to you now. And remember that when taking action, success requires good timing.

Question: circumstances impacting my opportunity at a university through the ed group.
#1 - the creative moving to 47 Adversity

B. University looked like the perfect opportunity but it doesn't seem to be coming together smoothly and that's usually a sign of trouble.

Update: 3/2/00. I've probably noted this elsewhere but this was an opportunity that never came to pass.  B. University never signed the contract.  This reminds me of the term a friend of mine used that "things went in and out of incipient possibility"

Question: Outcome of my meeting with MPQ

Met with some people about working together and found the experience very frustrating.  My old boss used to say that I was a control freak and in this case I gave up all control.  This situation is clearly one of the strangest in my life.  In some ways I've never been treated with less respect (even though I would say I have always been treated with at least surface level kindness)

Got 1 moving 50 the cauldron

Update: 4/26/07: I have absolutely never understood the reason for this experience.  In fact in retrospect is was so bizarre and such a complete waste of time effort and energy that it still leaves me speechless.  what I find even more unfathomable is the why this hexagram.  I should comment on one thing -- this situation and the one described in the hexagram directly below this where both situations that I became involved in because they were pre-existing relationships that KJ already had.

Question:  Outcome of future discussions with EMP

1 moving to 58 Joy

How interesting.  Every time I've received this Hexagram it's been an opportunity that never materialized.  So what had looked like a sure thing now looks (based on history) like no opportunity at all.  So here's the factor I notice right now.  Both of the previous times one of the changing lines was number 1.  Number 1 says clearly now is not the time.  This time I got lines 3 and line 6 changing.  Obviously we'll have to see.

Update:  The original work seems to have changed and now it's just to teach a class.  My gut is that this might disappear before it even arrives. -- How interesting

Note: 2/26/07 -- I can't even believe that I'd almost and completely forgotten who and what I was asking this question about  Essentially it was about a company interested in making a big splash in the SOX arena.  Everything from them was big plans and big promises.  I came into this interview believing it was ultimately for a practice director's job.  It turned out to be a try out for a cult of want-to-bes.  The real learning here had nothing to do with work.  It was a chance to understand what role I played in the universe and that I didn't need to be associated with crazies to keep myself from seeing the truth.  I can't stress enough that this situation surrounding these people made the Nut Case I was involved with look like a rock.  We didn't go any where but we did actually have some business and WG wasn't a user in the same sense these people were.  I called R the pied piper.
