The extent of the risks you are taking is showing, though no real harm is done. Employing creative helpers who are allowed broad discretion in their work minimizes missteps and ensure quality outcomes.
See Tao Te Ching – Verse 31 – Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them.
See the previous reading: Today: “Keep your attention focused on your tasks at hand rather than your expectations for an outcome. If you remain rooted in the flow of events, all will go well.” from the I Ching
See the previous previous reading: Today: “Discontent arises from wanting more. Trying to change others to satisfy your own desires always brings conflict. Be grateful instead.” from the I Ching

19 – Nineteen. Lin / Noble Calling
The rich, loamy Earth on the banks of the Marsh provides fertile soil for exceptional progress.
The Superior Person is inexhaustible in his willingness to teach, and without limit in his tolerance and support of others.
Supreme Success if you keep to your course.
But be aware that your time is limited; your power will wane, as Summer changes to Fall.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You are in a position to help another.
This is a temporary situation, because your power is cyclical, seasonal.
Knowing this, you must perform your good deed without hope of reward.
You are not furthering your own process, but another’s.
Though you may cherish this other, you will never possess.
Touch without grasping.
Take comfort in becoming a fond memory.
Nurture, then let go.
Six in the fifth place means:Your wise approach is worthy of a prince. Wise approach.
Chinese prince |
| A prince, or anyone in a leading position, must have the wisdom to attract to himself people of ability who are expert in directing affairs. His wisdom consists both in selecting the right people and in allowing those chosen to have a free hand without interference from him. For only through such self-restraint will he find the experts needed to satisfy all of his requirements. |
10 – Ten. Lü / Worrying the Tiger
Heaven shines down on the Marsh which reflects it back imperfectly:
Though the Superior Man carefully discriminates between high and low, and acts in accord with the flow of the Tao, there are still situations where a risk must be taken.
You tread upon the tail of the tiger.
Not perceiving you as a threat, the startled tiger does not bite.
Success.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You have reached a perilous point in your journey.
This is a real gamble — not a maneuver, not a calculated risk.
The outcome is uncertain.
If it goes as you hope, you will gain — but if it turns against you it will cause serious injury, at least to your plans.
The best tack is extreme caution and a healthy respect for the danger involved.
