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)
Line 1
Prepare a sacred space and honored precinct Of simple, yet powerful, means and Surrender to the forces of Heaven and Earth.
Line 2
New growth Appears after a judicious pruning.
Settle down to a simple way of life
And the life of your way will be blessed.
Line 3
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.
Line 4
The center of the roof is straight and strong.
Abundance lives beneath it.
If it begins to sag,You will have many anxious moments.
Line 5
New growth springs forth
From an unexpected place.
Be pleased but not arrogant or boastful.
Line 6
Look beyond your obvious gifts and deficits.
Be adventurous
And dare to embrace the Qi of advancement.
