Preamble

Fire above has changed into Heaven, and this week flows on from the last with only a single line changed. Kou, also known as Coming to Meet, is a multifaceted hexagram. Above all, its message relates to how easily small yet harmful influence can spoil a situation if left unchecked. The risk is there precisely because the danger seems so small and trivial that we do not resist it from the outset.

This week, that is to be avoided. Protect the subordinate elements within yourself and ensure that when you do come together with others, it is free of ulterior motives on both sides. Once this is done, Fate will be favourable.

Closing remarks

The echo of today’s hexagram is 50, Ting. This is curious as it was our hexagram for last week. I sense a proximity between these two hexagrams which tie nicely together. Keep an eye out for the full moon later this week.

Blessings to you all.
