Mystic Window
Look for an opportunity to be creative, fun loving, and resourceful. Do not act withdrawn or introverted when dealing with people. Be aware of your life situation and gather information as needed. Look for inspiration where you find it
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Heaven above as below
Reflects itself with vitality and strength.
A perpetual sacrifice of polished jade
Begins the full moon's celebration.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
The Dragon is hidden in the field;
The Qi is insufficient for taking action.
Line 2
The Dragon appears in the field;
The Qi of questioning presents itself
When consulting a Great Sage.
Line 3
The gentle and wise man
Remains devoutly creative all of his days
But rests in relaxed awareness
During the night.
The Qi is fragile.
Line 4
The Dragon lifts its head and prepares for flight.
The Qi is expansive and burgeoning.
Line 5
The Flying Dragon leaps to the heavens.
Sustain inquisitive Qi
When consulting a Great Sage.
Line 6
No matter how high the Dragon flies, It must eventually return to the earth.
The Qi moves up,The Qi moves down.
Beware of the Arrogant Dragon.
