Hexagram 38: Opposition

(Kuí)

Conflict and misunderstanding that can be resolved through patience.

Overview

This period can go well. If you have been giving your family enough attention lately, you will have no mistakes to correct. If you have not, the situation is different.

You will learn what went wrong through unpleasant moments you cannot avoid. If you were not fair enough and not firm enough in your own intentions, events will now take their own course, outside your control. Like it or not, you will have to rethink your intentions and plans and look for better ways to carry them out.

To avoid more serious mistakes, put the big problems aside for a while. If you keep pushing, you can run into real trouble.

Deal with what is in front of you today. Here you will make progress, even if it is small.

People around you

How will this period affect your relationships? Keep to a policy of "no alliances". Try to stay out of whatever is going on around you, even if at first glance there is nothing wrong with it.

Some people may be hurt by this and may not understand you. Behave with tact and restraint, but do not step back from your intentions. If you get drawn into anything serious, trouble is certain.

Work and rest

The main thing now is to concentrate on present problems. Decide what you have to do in the near future. Spend time with friends or with colleagues you like, so that you do not sink into low spirits. Plan your time so that not a minute is left for sad thoughts. Better to be tired than to worry about the future.

Your wish

Your wish is not close yet, and there are no pleasant surprises waiting for you this time. Gather your strength and be patient. You will have to wait for a change for the better.
