42. I / Expansion

(Wind above Thunder)

Description

Whirlwinds and Thunder: When the Superior Person encounters saintly behavior, he adopts it; when he encounters a fault within, he transforms it. Progress in every endeavor. You may cross to the far shore.

Analysis

Get ready to ride a tide of accelerated growth toward self-actualization. A joyful awareness of the best within you, coupled with an acceptance of your Shadow, will provide a greater repertoire, a much bolder vision, and new depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons.

Changing Lines

Line 1

The forces of the cosmos are cycling in your favor. This is an ideal time for great progress and expansion in every endeavor.

Line 2

Your work is reverently admired by another who makes a substantial contribution to your cause. This patron is deeply spiritual, and can benefit you in ways beyond the material world.

Line 3

You are enriched by another's misfortune. This is no basis for guilt or shame; you did nothing to bring on these events.

Line 4

Your balance and skill have not gone unnoticed by those in power. They will entrust you with responsibilites that have far-reaching influence.

Line 5

Your benevolence has been recognized by those above you. Your plans will greatly benefit all, and the favor you seek is as good as granted before you even ask.

Line 6

Your heart isn't in it, and others can sense this. Every move you make is watched with suspicion. Steel your resolve, or failure is certain.
