Oracle for the 26 October 2022

37 - Three Seven (Octal)

37 Kou

TEMPTATION

Here the hexagram consists of five strong lines, all resting on the one, upward-moving weak line. This suggests that some element has entered the present situation. It appears to have little significance, but it could upset the balance completely. In your personal affairs, you must be extremely cautious now, as your judgment may not be at its sharpest. It would be all too easy to become involved with someone, undertake some project, or heed some advice which is simply not right for you. This may be an internal process, and the same caution is called for to stop you from falling into bad habits. In all aspects of your life, be totally honest with yourself and with everyone else. This way, there can be no misunderstandings, and no one can take advantage of you. Do not attempt any major projects now, although it is a good time for smaller ventures.

LINE OF CHANGE

SIX at the BOTTOM

Take positive steps to avoid getting involved with weak elements. You cannot resolve the situation by a laissez-faire approach - you must take decisive action.

NINE in the SECOND PLACE

Persistent vigilance is the key here. If you let your guard down for a minute, the weak element may gain the upper hand. In this event, you could find yourself in deep trouble.

NINE in the THIRD PLACE

There is the possibility of misfortune here, but fate intervenes to save you from temptation. Look very carefully at where you are going, and keep your eyes peeled at all times.

NINE in the FOURTH PLACE

You cannot resolve these difficulties by being cool or detached, because people whose help you might need in the future will turn away from you.

NINE in the FIFTH PLACE

If you are fully in control of yourself and have got your own weaknesses held in check, destiny will be kind to you. Equally, if you let weaknesses show, then trouble could soon follow.

NINE at the TOP

If you have felt it necessary to move away from someone or something, and a slightly bad atmosphere has been left behind, you can rest assured that you are not to blame.
