Hexagram 41: Decrease

Some time ago your creative powers had room to open up. There was a real chance to carry out the plans you had held on to for a long time.

You are active and full of ideas, so you took that chance. You used your strengths and abilities as fully as you could, and the results were very good.

Your situation today starts from that freedom and its first results. But step by step, freedom of action has gone too far and turned into disorder.

The strange part is that the problem grew out of success. You have gained a lot in several areas of life at the same time, and now you cannot look at all of it calmly and weigh it up.

Going through everything is very important now. That is how you will see what still has value for you, what you can let go of without regret, and what goal lies ahead.

Right now you are moving in several directions at once, and that does not suit you. If you want serious results in the end, cut away some of the side interests and put your energy into the most important tasks. Which ones to keep is your choice.

People around you

A good place to begin is your relationships with the people around you. You have been meeting many people lately. Do you need to stay in constant contact with all of them now?

Look closely at your new acquaintances. Remember how each of them came into your life, and why. If your intentions and theirs still match, keep the connection going. If they no longer match, think hard about whether to keep it.

Work

You should also change some things in your work. While you do that, respect the wishes of other people as well as your own. Do not walk away from other people's problems while you solve your own.

This sorting out will also give you time for family and friends who need your help.

Your wish

Your wish is put off for now. This is not the time for bold moves. Still, do not relax and stay alert, so that you do not miss the moment and can be in the right place at the right time.
