Mystic Window
Now is not the time to be impetuous or foolhardy. Be mindful of careless behavior, especially when pursuing worthwhile goals.
Look for a new way to express your talents and watch for uncommon inspiration coming from common quarters.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The lake's power surpasses the winds,
Warning of sagging roofs And flowers on a dead tree
Yielding to an accumulation of great burdens.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
1. Prepare a sacred space and honored precinct Of simple, yet powerful, means and Surrender to the forces of Heaven and Earth.
New growth Appears after a judicious pruning.
Settle down to a simple way of life
And the life of your way will be blessed.
The center of the roof has become misshapen. It weakens the entire building. It threatens all who live beneath it. The Qi of misfortune abounds.
The center of the roof is straight and strong.
Abundance lives beneath it.
If it begins to sag,You will have many anxious moments.
New growth springs forth
From an unexpected place.
Be pleased but not arrogant or boastful.
Look beyond your obvious gifts and deficits.
Be adventurous
And dare to embrace the Qi of advancement.
