Mystic Window
Look for opportunities to be cooperative and helpful. This will probably entail stepping aside and letting things happen. Spend time with likeminded people who share your values and goals. A great leader is the servant of those he leads.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Earth and heaven in prosperous union;
Moving, advancing steadily While the full-flowered moon Turns its head to emerge.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Pull out the weeds and overgrown grass.Clear the field, turn the soil, and move forward.Organize peopleAccording to their gifts and deficits.
Line 2
Embrace the wilderness.Take responsibility for making it productive And fruitful by infusing it with Balance, poise, and equilibrium.
Line 3
There can be no journey without a homecoming;There can be no level ground without amountain.Qi moves out and moves in;Qi rises and settles.Join the heavens and the earthWith one hand above and one hand below.
Line 4
Flying drunken immortal (Hsien)Moving this way and that,Alights where he finds food and drink.What boldness!
Line 5
Embrace optimism, exude subtle strength, And radiate balanced Qi.
Line 6
A great wall eventually sinks into the moat.Consider the folly of persevering In the face of disintegration.
