Look for an opportunity to re-order those parts of your life that are important to you. Above all, be disciplined and organized at the start of any journey or endeavor. Be wary of inept leaders and govern yourself according to your higher ideals.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Underground Streams and Lines of force move deep Beneath the feet
Of many Righteous people.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
1. Gather your forces, muster your strengths, and Organize the Qi accordingly. Disharmony obstructs virtuous expression. 2. Project yourself to the center of opposing forces And touch its native strength. Three citations are issued by the ruler. 3. The army carries corpses to the wagons In preparation for retreating. 4. Retreating Qi is engaged; Forces and strengths are preserved. 5. Lead the Qi and capture wild beasts that appear In the cultivated fields bring the corners together with a centering action. The eldest son takes the host captive and controls him; the youngest minds the corpses that lay in the wagons.
The great prince issues simple commands, reorganizes the conquered lands, rewards his supporters and rests with the Qi of greatness.
