Mystic Window
Seize the moment but make haste slowly. Now is not the time to go it alone. Seeking a partnership is very advantageous if both parties are certain that they share the same goals. Wait for the occurrence of a happy accident, and then deliberately move forward.
Do not embark on a self-improvement regimen at this time.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Campfires on the distant horizon
Signal sunrise and nightfall
While two swallows flick their tails and Fly steadily towards the sun's heart.
Sunrise, Breeze, Inner, Outer, Abdomen, Cauldron, Horizon, Spring growth, Increase
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
To show something off
Is to destroy its essence.
Being circumspect and reserved
Erases error and brings abundance.
Project your soul
With poise and self-assurance.
Line 2
To show something off
Is to make it a sorrowful thing.
Your soul instructs you To don a warrior's coat
And pay homage to your family.
Line 3
Everything is centered.
All guilt fades away.
Line 4
To show yourself off
Brings calamity and great danger.
Line 5
Sorrow and guilt have all but fade And you take a relaxed view of things. Proceed slowly without apprehension, And abundance will unfold before you.
Line 6
A frontal attack is used to punish the city. There is great danger that hides abundance.
And, while no mistakes are made, You will still be full of remorse.
