Another turning point. All movement is governed by cycles: a starting point (return), progression and completion. There can even be cycles within cycles. Now is a point in time for a significant return. We discover what needs to be renewed, and we align our intentions and actions with that.
When things are ready to turn, then a nudge is all that is required to set them in motion. Only decide what is worthy of your attention, and give it. Right now, you possess a big lever with which to produce a significant impact. Use it.

Today: strong leadership and the gathering of helpers – from the I Ching
It is a time for strong leadership and the gathering of helpers for important action. Under attack, we must recognize what bonds us together and hold that unity. What is under attack is that unity itself. With compassion, success is assured as it is the foundation of what holds us together.
Today: Do not fight evil on its own terms – from the I Ching
Yesterday’s reading indicated a dire situation that needs to be addressed. Doing so, one must be certain to eradicate any remnants of oppression. One cannot negotiate with evil, nor fight it on its own terms. It must be thoroughly discredited. Even expressing the truth seems not to be good enough. One must appeal to people’s better natures so they can arrive at a proper view of the situation. Then, it is possible to arrive at an equilibrium that is free of oppression and conflict.
Today: The urgency of the situation has reached a breaking point – from the I Ching
The urgency of the situation has reached a breaking point. Pushing ahead in the current climate will lead to disaster. A leader must bring to the table the wisdom of the ages. Otherwise, all is lost.
Today: An auspicious day – from the I Ching

Today: Don’t make a big deal of being right – from the I Ching
Don’t make a big deal of being right. Those who are weak now are in control. We must wait for the situation to change. The high ground cannot be taken by force. Compromise is not an abdication of one’s personal power and ability to have a positive impact on the situation. Your clear-headed vision and inner strength will prevail in the end.

Today: Contemplate & be aware how others look to you for guidance – from the I Ching
Contemplate at this time of transition whether to advance or retreat. Looking back at your life will give you answers. Recognize that in any case, what you say and do have effects on others. Be aware how others look to you for guidance.
Today: It is time to recognize the causes for corruption – from the I Ching
It is time to recognize the causes for corruption in our world and begin to repair the damage. What has been going on for some time must be dealt with and corrected. The danger has come to a point of crisis only because the concerted efforts of the few who created this situation were met generally with apathy. That has to change. While corruption is widespread, it can be remedied.
Rather than charging headlong into a reactionary course, the causes that are perpetuating the situation must be identified, discredited and neutralized. Every new action must be considered deliberately and applied frugally in order to avoid new reaction.
What has gone before is no longer relevant. Bringing to light the negative influences that have held the status quo will be sufficient. They will discredit themselves, their influence will wane and the social organism will begin to begin to heal.
Today: You have awesome power at your disposal – from the I Ching
You have awesome power at your disposal as long as you are in alignment with the cosmic rhythms. Do not flout it. Do not entangle yourself in useless quarrels with ignorant people. Give up your expectations of others. Merely proceed on a righteous course which will carry the day.
Today: A significant week(end) for America – from the I Ching
This is a significant week(end) for Americans and people living in America. It is a time to assess who we are and what we are about. It’s about our collective identity. It’s time to look around and see who else is here and what amplifies US. We are under attack from without and from within.
Our Republic was founded and is based on the Rule of Law. The Law is not the Truth, but it is the written contract that defines the parameters by which we agree to live with each other.
The primal law is the Constitution.
From time to time the Law is contorted and stretched, and cheaters will cheat. But, since the Civil War, its rule has not been breached.
Chaotic forces are now mounting a siege against our nation’s long tradition of unity. Its reverence for and commitment to Truth is bleeding into the darkness. The value of Truth itself is being questioned.
The remedy to all this is not to rebel against the dark forces in a disorganized and reactive way. That would only contribute to the chaos and amplify its effects.
The tools of democracy must be employed in their various forms that offer stability to our way of life. Dissent must find a common voice through peaceful verbal and physical expression, which includes civil disobedience.
The key has always been, and will always be, unity.
Today: Keep your options real – from the I Ching
When caught between advance and retreat and in the grip of fear, do not fantasize. Keep your options real. When opposition to your goals is real, see it for what it is and face it. Do not live in denial.
Choose small undertakings and be content with modest progress. Find commonality in the opposition and promote that. That leads to eventual success.
