Dear knowflakes,

Could someone please help me with a reading? I've been going through something for some time now, and while I am normally hopeful & optimistic, there are times when my spirits sag. THis is one of them (a particularly bad spell), and I would really appreciate a reading.

Thank you,
Sunshine

Thank you, Peri! This has to do with my love life.. with a certain Pisces I've been engaged in a dance of sorts with. We've been connected on & off for around 8 years now, and the circumstances surrounding our connection are about to end (I'm graduating & won't get to see him weekly like I do now), so I'm worried if we will get it together before I'm done. I couldn't bear to lose him; I can't so much as think of another guy because it almost feels like we've been married a long time - we've loved each other nearly since the moment we met. *sigh* It's a long complicated story my friends tell me could fill the pages of a book. I won't go into the gory details, but I feel we're on this soulmate journey which I'm hoping leads us back to each other..

Didn't mean to ramble on..

this is what I got for you:

Hexagram 24 Return


The idea of a turning point arises from the fact that after the dark lines have
pushed all of the light lines upward and out of the hexagram, another light
line enters the hexagram from below. The time of darkness is past. The
winter solstice brings the victory of light. This hexagram is linked with the
eleventh month, the month of the solstice (December-January).

THE JUDGMENT

RETURN. Success.
Going out and coming in without error.
Friends come without blame.
To and fro goes the way.
On the seventh day comes return.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

After a time of decay comes the turning point. The powerful light that has
been banished returns. There is movement, but it is not brought about by force.
The upper trigram K'un is characterized by devotion; thus the movement is natural,
arising spontaneously. For this reason the transformation of the old becomes easy.
The old is discarded and the new is introduced. Both measures accord with the time;
therefore no harm results. Societies of people sharing the same views are formed.
But since these groups come together in full public knowledge and are in harmony
with the time, all selfish separatist tendencies are excluded, and no mistake is
made. The idea of RETURN is based on the course of nature. The movement is cyclic,
and the course completes itself. Therefore it is not necessary to hasten anything
artificially. Everything comes of itself at the appointed time. This is the meaning
of heaven and earth.

All movements are accomplished in six stages, and the seventh brings return.
Thus the winter solstice, with which the decline of the year begins, comes in
the seventh month after the summer solstice; so too sunrise comes in the seventh
double hour after sunset. Therefore seven is the number of the young light,
and it arises when six, the number of the great darkness, is increased by one.
In this way the state of rest gives place to movement.


The winter solstice has always been celebrated in China as the resting time of the year— a custom that survives in the time of rest observed at the new year. In winter the life energy, symbolized by thunder, the Arousing, is still underground. Movement is just at its beginning; therefore it must be strengthened by rest so that it will not be dissipated by being used prematurely. This principle, i.e., of allowing energy that is renewing itself to be reinforced by rest, applies to all similar situations. The return of health after illness, the return of understanding after an estrangement: everything must be treated tenderly and with care at the beginning, so that the return may lead to a flowering.

additional Hexagram 19 Approaching / Opportunity

Hexagram 19 is a rising trend, creative force reaching out towards its realisation. It’s natural to see something growing and focus on the upcoming moment of harvest. But the I Ching says that 'ending' here means misfortune. Sometimes this is advice to look beyond the moment of harvest, not to neglect the time of maturation and reflection that follows. More often, it’s a warning to allow a rising trend to continue without focussing on 'having something to show for it.'

These look good; One the one hand you have all chances to make up again and be happy together on the other it will take hard work and determination (eh nothing new here right? )

Please be careful in August, hexagram 19 says:

Success is certain. But we must work with determination and perseverance to make full use of the propitiousness of the time. However spring does not last forever. In the eighth month the aspects are reversed. We must take heed of this change in good time. If we meet evil before it becomes reality-before it has begun to stir-we can master it.

Dear Peri,

Thank you so much for the reading; I really appreciate it!! The hard work up ahead - so true.. tsk, tsk. I'm so glad to hear there will be a "return" of understanding, the opportunity to make it all good again.

Thank you again so much, and if there's any help I can provide, a reading (of the astrological sort as I'm not proficient in Tarot), I would be glad to provide it!!
