Right now, you must hold the greatest resolve to persevere in this trying time. After three years of oppression from corrupt leaders, their hold on power will be broken. Keep up.
Now it is the time of struggle. The transition must be completed. We must make ourselves strong in resolution; this brings good fortune. All misgivings that might arise in such grave times of struggle must be silenced. It is a question of a fierce battle to break and to discipline the Devil’s Country, the forces of decadence. But the struggle also has its reward. Now is the time to lay the foundations of power and mastery for the future.

Give this a try: Try any kriya that you see here. The first one below reflects my recommendation for a practice that will facilitate the advice given by the I Ching today.
The following entries were selected as recommendations from past readings. If you choose to practice one, do it for 30 days. That is the expected time it takes to modify any particular habits or tendencies that the kriya addresses.
If you practice one for 90 days, it will penetrate your subconscious and help you form new habits.
If you practice it for 120 days it will penetrate your unconscious.
If you practice it for 1000 days, you will master it. It will become a part of your psyche.
For today:

64 – Sixty-Four. Wei Chi / The End In Sight
Fire ascends above the Water:
The Superior Person examines the nature of things and keeps each in its proper place.
Too anxious the young fox gets his tail wet, just as he completes his crossing.
To attain success, be like the man and not like the fox.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Resist the rush to completion.
Anticipation of fulfillment may cause you to be careless before you have fully absorbed the lessons of the journey.
The endpoint of this Quest will only prove to be the threshold for another.
You are short steps from Mastery on this plane, yet you stride toward Ignorance of the challenges lying beyond.
Savor this accomplishment.
Fully Become.
Take full possession of your world before embarking to discover the next one.
That voyage begins soon enough, and you will reminisce about this one.
These are the Good Old Days.
Nine in the fourth place means:
Deep in the Devil’s Domain, there is no room for despair.
Persevere for three years, and victory will be yours.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Remorse disappears.
Shock, thus to discipline the Devil’s Country.
For three years, great realms are awarded.

57 – Fifty-Seven. Sun / The Penetrating Wind
Wind follows upon wind, wandering the earth, penetrating gently but persistently:
The Superior Person expands his influence by reaffirming his decisions and carrying out his promises.
Small, persistent, focused effort brings success.
Seek advice from someone you respect.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance.
Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident.
Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation.
Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation.
All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent.
Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.
