Todays Intuitive Reading

The I Ching energy has been traveling in a multiple highway pattern for some time, however, on June 17th, the energy converged into the flow of Hexagram #38 CONTRADICTION and will likely stay there until sometime after July 4th. 

As always, the flow for Hexagram #15 MODERATION is available, it just takes effort and experience to stay in balance with it. However, traveling on the Middle Road will definitely help keep you in balance and your energy high.

Here is the guidance from the text of MODERATION that are most likely to pertain to our experience over the next two weeks or so:

Moderation

“Your inner development now requires a modest and sincere attitude. Do not indulge in extremes of any sort, and instead strive for MODERATION in all that you do… In this way you use the balancing tendency of the current forces to center yourself. This inner equilibrium aligns you with the tao, thus bringing you into harmony with forces that can work for you…”MODERATION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing, Random House, NYC, NY, 1979

#38 CONTRADICTION (Opposition)

“There is a strong sense of CONTRADICTION at work in the current situation. It may be a matter of opposing viewpoints — persons who are working at cross purposes to one another or an inner duality that brings indecision. You must now gain an understanding of these divergent forces and better accord yourself with the times. Great achievements are out of the question, since they cannot come about without complete co-operation and alignment. Only small endeavors and gradual influences will meet with good fortune.

In spite of the CONTRADICTION presented by opposing ideologies in political matters, there is a possibility for ultimate unity. In fact, the kind of unity that develops from contrasting forces is often more significant than allegiances that occur casually and without forethought. Therefore this existing polarity may very well create the ideal conditions for unanimity. Do not become impatient or reactionary. Instead, make gradual attempts to overcome political estrangement. A little diplomacy can now go a long way toward eventual order and co-operation…

The CONTRADICTION that exists in family life and personal relationships is classic in form…

There now exists an atmosphere for misunderstandings or estrangement between men and women. Their inherent polarity is at its peak as they retreat into their own individual natures. Bridging the gap that is now present is a profound moment for significant union. Such contradictions only highlight the pleasant possibilities of exchange. Use small, gentle influences now to bring about this mutual accord.

This is a time when you may meet with the dualism in your own nature. You may appear indecisive or equivocal to others as you weigh contradicting viewpoints. Never before have you been able to see both sides so clearly. Arbitrary predispositions such as patriotism, clannishness, fixed ideas of principle or class prejudice may become less important in your life as you begin to see things in the larger overview. The struggle between good and evil, life and death, and all such opposites may appear to be simply the natural interaction of the great forces in the universe, as you develop the perspective of the sage. This sense of oneness or wholeness in a world of CONTRADICTION can bring you great depth of character and peace of mind.”

SECOND CHANGING LINE

“An unexpected or accidental encounter with an important idea or person will benefit you. There is a natural attraction at work here, although a direct approach would have been inconceivable or impossible.”

 

The Chinese Zodiac

The Yin Wood Snake is slithering into the summer months and looking for places to sun herself! The Year of the Snake began on January 29th, 2025.

The positive qualities of the Snake are: Sociable. Graceful. Wise. Perceptive. Determined.
Her formidable and challenging qualities include: Jealous. Unapproachable. Suspicious. Sly. Inconsistent.

The Snake’s Feng Shui Mandala below can give you a sense of what the archetype of the Snake is about and how it may be influencing you. If you’re interested, gently contemplate it and relax. Let yourself move with the energy of it. When you’re ready, ask yourself these questions and journal the answers that come:

“What is the most important thing I can focus my energy and effort on as I continue my journey through the Year of the Snake?”

“What is the direction? Why is that important?
How can I utilize the energy of the Snake to best navigate the challenges of CONTRADICTION?
Is there something I need to avoid? Some habits or beliefs I need to shed?
If so, what are they and what will help me shed them safely?”

Allow your intuition to come forward and bring guidance from your innermost Self. 

Snake is decidedly warning about heading down dangerous holes that you have already been down numerous times. She wants you to slow down and ask yourself:

What did you learn? Evaluating experiences you’ve had with objectivity will help you clearly identify any holes.

Are you sure you’re seeing things right? If you don’t clear up your blind spots, you may fall right back into those same holes.

Is there a decision you need to prevent you from falling into future holes? Get insightful answers and instinctual information that will help.

Numerology and the Tarot

The Tarot Major Arcana Card for 2025 is #IX The Hermit (2+ 0 + 2 + 5 = 9) 

The Hermit is solitary, alone. This symbolism contradicts the fact that in reality, the central Self of every one of us, which seems to us to be separate from every other Self, is that same ONE IDENTITY.

This year, the Hermit is our Archetypal Tarot Guide for when we need inner clarity and to shine light on the furthering of our Soul and Soul’s purpose.

When our actions are illuminated by the Soul, rather than the status quo, important insights about timing, reversals or polarity are revealed to help us find our path.

Good questions to ask the Hermit card are:

Do I know where I’m going and whether or not it’s a good idea?

Am I on my path or somebody else’s?

Am I going off in the wrong or too many directions?

Am I sensing and deciphering the meaning of this situation correctly?

Am I heading for danger?

If there’s a problem, how can I shed the proper Light on my situation?

If you’re feeling as though you’ve gotten off track, following advice from The Hermit through Soul Healing could help.
