Oracle for the 28 October 2022

33 - Three Three (Octal)

33 Sun

GENTLE WIND

This hexagram is a double trigram with the gentle wind above and below. The wind may indeed be gentle, but it is still able to reach into every nook and cranny. You must approach the circumstances that surround you in the same manner as a gentle wind. You cannot achieve your aims by sudden or hurried moves; you must deal with the situation in a modest but consistent way. The key here is to take gradual steps toward your goal. This approach may be decidedly un-dramatic, but it will be the one that brings the best results. You need to know exactly where you are going and what it is you want to achieve. Then, by going quietly and steadily, you can arrive at your destination having moved toward it largely unnoticed. If you draw attention to your aims and behave rashly or impulsively, you will only find yourself thwarted.

LINE OF CHANGE

SIX at the BOTTOM

The other side of gentleness is weakness and prevarication. It is important that you are decisive and firm without being harsh if you are to avoid unnecessary difficulties.

NINE in the SECOND PLACE

In your current situation there are some unpleasant feelings and emotions. These must be exposed and cleared away before you can take the next step or trouble will dog you.

NINE in the THIRD PLACE

It is always wise to think carefully before acting, but too much thinking becomes self-defeating. It prevents you from taking any positive action.

SIX in the FOURTH PLACE

This line indicates great success, provided you stick to the task in hand with consistency and understanding. It is important that you avoid any form of inconstancy or waywardness.

SIX in the FIFTH PLACE

To win through to your desired end, you must constantly re-evaluate the changes that are being effected, so as to avoid losing your way.

NINE at the TOP

The balance between careful thought and decisive action has tilted too much to the side of thought. You are simply turning mental circles and are unable to deal effectively with the situation.
