Hexagram 51
Hexagram 51: The Arousing
震 (Zhèn)
Thunder, shock, and the awakening power of sudden events.
Overview
The new situation is sharply different from your earlier life. The times have changed, and your fate has changed with them. You will have to act in critical moments, and that asks for firmness and for a quick response to events.
Events will be very intense, above all when turning back is no longer possible. A situation you controlled at first will slip away from you, and you will have to wait for fate to decide to put a stop to it.
At some point you may even be frightened, because many people are afraid of lightning. But you will see for yourself that it is too late to turn back and that you have to go all the way to the end. After a while you will be sure that you were spared great trouble and that your life has returned to normal.
What worries you at first will turn out well for you. Be bold and start putting your plans into practice. The sooner you start, the sooner you win.
People around you
Problems may come up in your relationships with the people around you. Do not be sad and do not worry. This turn of events will not surprise you, because your own actions will cause it.
Remember one thing: the less you fuss and fret about what is happening, the fewer mistakes you will make. Take an active part in whatever is going on. Do not fight the current of events, and do not hurry the other people involved.
Watch closely how attitudes around you change, so that you do not miss something that really matters to you. Be honest with your friends, but within reason. That way you keep the big secrets to yourself, and you still do not end up alone.
Work
No serious problems are expected at work. You are a dependable and disciplined person, and you can handle all of it easily. On top of that, you do not depend on other people in what you do, so there is no reason to worry about success.
Fate is on your side in other areas of life too. Even if you cannot see any prospects yet, what happens next will soon lift your mood.
Your wish
Your wish will come true soon. You can feel it already. What you hope for will change your whole life deeply, and that is why the outcome worries you. Do not worry. Everything will be as you wanted, and even better.
