Mystic Window
The energy of a developing situation has exhausted itself. Now is the time to stop and celebrate your accomplishments even if your achievement is only a small one. Moving forward at this time will only bring misfortune and bad luck. Expect delays, but don't worry about them.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The sounds of thunder over the lake
Reveal a sun threatened and obscured by clouds.
The procession must stop, hold its ground, And celebrate where they stand.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Accept a lesser role and
Embrace the Qi of assisting
Rather than of leading.
Line 2
Sometimes,
Only a blind man can see the truth.
Be blind;
Consult the soul.
Line 3
Accept a position of partial leadership.
Embrace the Qi of co-operation
Rather than of contention.
Line 4
Now is the time to Embrace patient Qi
And wait to see what happens naturally.
Everything has its own time of ripening.
Line 5
Look to the Yin moon
For wisdom and contentment.
Absorb the moon essence.
Absorb the moon spirit.
Line 6
An offering already burnt
Will bring no abundance.
A barren womb
Will produce no children.
These are inauspicious times.
