My apologies! I'm moving on to dream analysis

**I'm tagging the Tarot communities since they're very big, and I figure some of you may want dream analysis! However, I'm not offering Tarot readings**

First, I want to apologize to everyone who messaged me about my free tarot post and hasn't gotten a reading. It was an impulsive decision to try and start reading again, but the truth is that tarot isn't my number one choice for helping others. That being said, I won't be doing any tarot readings for the foreseeable future. Instead, I'm going to offer dream readings. I'll be doing this for free. I'll only be doing this via DMS, so feel free to message me!

I just want to quickly clarify my approach. If you have a dream that you want to be analyzed, send it to me through a message, and we'll work through the content together, breaking down the symbols and how they are related to your waking life and what it could mean for you.

I don't consider this a divination method (although dreams can sometimes be prophetic) but a way to learn more about yourself and to get a unique angle on a situation you may not have thought about.

I approached my Tarot readings in a similar way, except I feel I can give better services through dream readings thanks to a stronger passion surrounding it.

I hope to read/analyze some of your dreams so that we can help you through whatever struggles (or joys) you're having!

I'm back! Five open slots for free readings!

I've been on a long hiatus, and reorganizing my life. Without getting bogged in details, I needed to sort some things out. Furthermore, I needed to reevalute my intentions with this page and I think I have a direction I'm happy with.

I'll be occasionally giving free readings and will scrap the payments. However, since this will be a hobby, I can't promise quick readings, but I'll do my best to get them to you in a timely manner.

With that being said, I'm going to open five slots for free readings. I'll only provide the readings via message, so you'll need to send me a direct message. For clarity's sake, I won't be doing any readings on future spouses. Current relationships are fine though!

Once I receive 5 direct messages, I'll make another post to signal the close. I hope you're all doing well, and I look forward to reading again.

[dailydivination365]

Tarot Reading:

This is going to be a tough reading, so buckle up!

Strength - Reveresed (Fire):

You're feeling weakness. This could be the overwhelming demands of life, or it could be that your passions are holding you hostage. Such as a love for someone who's not reciprocating it.

Page of Cups - reversed (Water):

When faced with difficult circumstances, it's normal to act impulsively. You'll do anything to feel better, but more often than not, it just leads to more problems. This may also indicate that you're disturbed by dreams and visions.

3 of wands - reversed (Fire):

There may have been a time when the life you have now was a dream of yours, but you realize it's not what you thought it'd be. It could also be that a project you were committed to failed. Or, some memories from your past are coming to the surface. Typically, memories of failure.

King of swords - reversed (Air):

You desire power, but you're willing to get it in any way you can. You may be utilizing your skills selfishly and manipulating those around you. However, this can also represent someone around you manipulating others.

7 of pentacles - reversed (Earth):

You're generally dissatisfied with your life, particularly your work. Things aren't turning out at all how you wanted them to, and you harbor feelings of dissatisfaction.

The hermit - reversed (Earth):

While the hermit upright signals an entry into the self and introspection, in reverse, it signals either needing to socialize more or just getting out of your head. It may be a time to stop being passive and start acting on things you want.

4 of cups - reversed (Water):

This is the only positive card in this spread. It symbolizes awareness of new possibilities and an enthusiasm for seizing them.

King of cups - reversed (Water):

You may experience some violent emotions rising to the surface. It may be an overly controlling partner (maybe the king of swords in reverse represents this person). It can also symbolize a lack of artistic and emotional achievement.

9 of swords - reversed (Air):

Whatever your situation, it's a real problem, not one you've made up. You're feeling pressed and chained up (This could be related to an overly controlling partner again). All you can do is begin expressing yourself and keep your eyes open for any opportunities to change your environment.

Additional thoughts:

This is an incredibly interesting spread, as all the cards are in reverse, and the elements are relatively well-balanced. There are 2 fire, earth, air, and 3 water cards. This signifies that the spread is mostly dominated by emotions, but there's a sense of balance.

Unfortunately, the balance is negative and to me, that means that all four elements are out of balance. That's what makes this spread particularly difficult to swallow.

This isn't a matter of fixing an imbalance, but your entire life is basically put on its head, and you just have to deal with it for now.

The only positive card, the 4 of cups in reverse, is your way out of this situation. There's no obvious escape right now, so all you can do is keep your mind open and constantly look for new opportunities. It's a reminder to stay positive and know that no situation can last forever, whether good or bad.

[dailydivination365]

I Ching Reading: Adorning

Adorning is about beauty and attractiveness. It's physical characteristics that are enjoyable. However, adorning can also be an attitude.

The I Ching writes about etiquette. It's about adorning the good - or acting with good intentions to benefit yourself and those around you.

Moving Lines:

1st:

Acting with the best intention for yourself and those around you requires knowing your position. The I Ching symbolizes a commoner avoiding entering a carriage because it's not his place. While this social structure is outdated, the symbol is still applicable.

It's only sometimes right to take an opportunity. Especially if you know it will lead nowhere good. Curiosity may pull you, but it'll only result in hardship. Fortunately, this line signifies that you successfully walk away from these temptations.

3rd:

Another element for adorning is being steadfast in your beliefs. Flakiness tends to be frowned upon, but the most detrimental kind of flakiness is with your own beliefs. If you constantly shift back and forth regarding your beliefs, it portrays you as someone with no moral foundation. How can anyone trust a person like that?

Fortunately, again, this moving line depicts that you're grounded in your beliefs and don't let the whims of the world around you shift it.

Falling Away:

While the gifts of adornment are beautiful, they don't last forever. Slowly but surely, adornment falls away, just like the leaves in autumn. You cannot control it, but you can react to it.

As you master the art of adornment and do what's right for you, life around you will fall apart. It's natural for things to change as you become closer to your true self. With such a change comes difficult times. Unfortunately, those around you may no longer want to be around. While this is painful, if you remain true to yourself, things will get better again.

[dailydivination365]

Reading:

Page of Cups (water):

It's time to be creative. Let yourself be imaginative and contemplate ideas that aren't immersed in reality. It can also be a calling to be more spiritual and in touch with your emotions but from a perspective of joy and discovery.

10 of Cups (water):

Joy and love surround you. You realize that happiness isn't just an absence of pain but an emotion in its own right. It's a good time, so enjoy it!

Queen of Swords (air):

However, it wasn't always a good time. The Queen of Swords signifies a balance between sorrow and wisdom. She symbolizes that you can only fully enjoy happiness if you've suffered enough and come out the other side. It's realizing that, as difficult as the truth may be to hear, it'll ultimately allow you to soar above the clouds.

Additional Thoughts:

The spread is dominated by water cards, meaning your emotions are at the forefront. Fortunately, they're all positive symbols. If there's any message you can get from the two water cards, it's to allow yourself to be creative and childlike. Enjoy the positive time you're in, and let yourself be pulled in whatever direction the river of your emotions goes.

The final card is air. When air and water combine, it's usually a highly destructive force. I immediately think of hurricanes, tornadoes, raging waters, and storms. However, wind and water may also signify movement, as represented by cloud formations traveling across the sky. In this case, the later symbolism best fits the Queen of Swords.

The symbol of movement adds to the image depicted by the previous two cards but with an additional layer. It's a good time to let yourself flow, but her presence reminds you that your difficult history is why you can enjoy your life today. She's a reminder not to forget where you've come from.

[dailydivination365]

Reading

5 of pentacles (earth):

You're going through a tough time. You may have lost some material possessions or emotional ties. This could signify a job loss, a money loss, or a relationship loss. It's possible that someone close to you passed away.

However, this card can also represent seeking help your way because traditional help isn't working.

The Hierophant - reversed (earth):

This signifies a break in tradition. It's time to take an unorthodox approach, especially with mentally formed ideas. It can also represent superficial ideas.

Like the five pentacles, it can also represent going your way and rejecting traditional ideas. However, it's important to remember that it's not just about rejection but discovering a new path.

10 of cups - reversed (water):

Your emotions are turning against you. Whatever your situation, it's turned against you and frustrates you. This can also represent that you're struggling to appreciate what life is giving you.

Additional thoughts:

At first glance, there's no resolution to the problem at hand. However, that's only the case if you read chronologically. If the card order is reversed, it makes much more sense.

You're in an unhappy situation (10 of cups in reverse), so you decide to change your approach (the hierophant in reverse). You decide to break your traditions because they no longer help you the way they used to (5 pentacles).

This is a huge evolution and can lead to many new doors opening for you in the future.

The Elements:

The reading is earth-heavy regarding elements. The first two cards deal with earthly things, meaning this spread is about what's tangible and conscious.

Since these cards deal with the solution, it's a sign that you need to take action in the material world to see change. This isn't something you need to solve within yourself, but something that needs to be solved without.

The last card, the problem card, is water. This means your problem stems from an emotional place. Your emotions need somewhere to go. When you think about it, the earth acts as a large cup of water, whether that's containing small streams, lakes, or even oceans.

Symbolically, your actions will form the earth through which your flowing emotions can be channeled, allowing you to create your desired situation.

[dailydivination365]

I Ching Reading: Responding

Responding is not about predetermining but about letting things unfold. The I Ching clarifies that you will lose if you try to predetermine and control events. On the contrary, responding is nothing other than accepting the source from heaven. It's accepting what's currently in your life and the present situations. In other words, you will gain everything.

Moving lines:

2nd:

The second moving line depicts a position that responds perfectly to the events. It describes the movement as straight and square. Squares are associated with stability, and straight symbolizes a direct approach. It's about moving to your goals as the path unfolds and following it without deviation.

5th:

This moving line is interesting because it talks about yellow garments. There's a lot of symbolism surrounding yellow, like the third chakra, the sun, gold, etc. However, the I Ching depicts yellow as the color of the earth. Responding is also an earthly quality further tied to color. Wearing yellow garments simply means that you embody the energy of the responding.

Darkness:

The I Ching has a unique way of portraying the succession of events. The initial hexagram, Responding, was an overwhelmingly positive one. Even the moving lines were positive, but an excessive state quickly shifts to its opposite. Funnily enough, the hexagram Darkness actually comes about because of an excessive state.

The message behind Darkness is that problems and difficulties are inevitable. Even if you're responding to the universe and the natural energies that push and pull you, things will still block your path. However, the hexagram says that all you need to do is trust in your heart and mind. If you believe in yourself with pure intentions, then all things will come to pass, and you'll find success.

In the best case, you may utilize these difficulties to your advantage, which will help you succeed even faster.

[dailydivination365]

Reading:

Knight of Swords - reversed (Air):

You're acting more than you need. You're impulsive when it's time to be calm and rational.

5 of wands (fire):

The conflict you're experiencing is bringing you joy, which is why you may be doing more than you need to.

The Empress - reversed (water):

You may be overly emotional or need to be more emotional. In this case, it can go either way, as excessive emotions may make you act more than you need, or you may be suppressing your emotional warnings to slow down.

6 of wands - reversed (fire):

You may be covering your doubts with a false sense of confidence. Although you may feel insecure emotionally, you present a confident persona to the world. However, this can only last so long.

3 of pentacles - reversed (earth):

There's an air of mediocrity surrounding you. You may feel a bit lazy, or things aren't moving how you want them to. This card can also represent a situation with little happiness, which ties closely to the previous card.

The Sun - reversed (fire):

The reversed sun may seem like the joy of a new day is gone, but it's not so dramatic. Joy is not gone, but it's harder to see. You can't see the sun when it's cloudy, but you know it's there. In this case, it's a sign that your situation is good. It may not seem that way because it's not up to your standard, but you don't need to change much. Be easy on yourself!

Additional thoughts:

Half of the cards in this spread are fire, but the other half are the other three elements. Thus, there's a relatively good balance in this spread. The problem is that the fire seems overwhelmingly present since it's being balanced by one of each element rather than its opposite (water). This is why the situation may seem worse than it is.

Another issue presented in the spread is the need to act more than necessary. Fire represents action, desire, and willpower, which supports your need to act.

The three elements balancing fire seem to have what you need to find happiness moving forward.

The knight of swords tells you to be more conscious about your desires. You can use logic to restrain your energy when necessary and rationalize when it's the right time to act. It's also a message to plan your actions more thoroughly instead of jumping into the fray.

The empress signifies the need to either increase or reduce your emotional reactions. This depends on your specific situation and can go either way.

Lastly, the three of pentacles symbolize a need to work on yourself. It's also a sign to utilize your technical skills, spiritual enlightenment, and desires in the right way. It's also telling you not to be afraid of mundane work, as it can lead to deeper awareness. You don't always have to do something revolutionary to see success.

[dailydivination365]

I Ching Reading: Great Harvest

The initial hexagram focuses on the great harvest from seeking harmony with others. When a receptive effort is made to connect at the right time, all things succeed as they should.

Moving Lines:

1st:

One of the biggest obstacles to reaping a great harvest is pride. If you approach a situation with pride, you can suffer harm because you have attachments. If you rid yourself of attachments, nothing can hurt you because you have nothing to lose.

6th:

The top line of the hexagram usually culminates in excess, but an excessive harvest is not bad. It's seen as a blessing that you're rewarded more than you expected. This line signifies that when your intention is true, and there's no pride, you can gain the world twice over.

Long Lasting:

Making something long-lasting is about being adaptable. The I Ching uses the symbolism of the sun and moon or the changing of seasons. Despite the changes of day to night and summer to winter, there's predictability. We know the day will follow the night and vice versa. We know winter will always follow after summer and vice versa. However, the seasons, the sun, and the moon are all subject to change. As long as they let themselves move with the natural flow of existence, they become predictable and long-lasting.

In the context of the initial hexagram, a great harvest can become consistent year-after-year. But it needs to follow the same process a harvest of crops follows. Seeds are sown in Spring and harvested in fall. If the seeds are sown too early or late, it won't work. If the harvest is gathered too early or late, it won't be optimal. If you want to make a great harvest long lasting, it needs to be done at the right time.

The other approach is to make a single great harvest last a long time. Whatever you've reaped can be extended for as long as possible. If we continue the same analogy, extending a great harvest is like storing the crops properly so they last a long time.

Regardless of the case, if you want a good situation to last a long time, it needs to be set in motion at the right time and with the right intentions.

[dailydivination365]

Reading:

The Magician - reversed (all elements):

You feel a lack of energy flowing through you. Something's blocking it from flowing the way it's supposed to. It can also refer to lethargy and depression.

Ace of wands - reversed (fire):

Your current situation may feel like it's turning against you. This may be due to your own actions or the circumstances.

The Sun - reversed (fire):

It feels like the sun isn't shining in your life anymore, but just like a cloudy day, the sun is still there. You just need to try to see it.

Temperance - reversed (water):

In your case, you feel like you're sliding between extremes. You can't find balance, causing you to struggle to act appropriately.

3 of Wands - reversed (fire):

It's possible you need help finding balance due to failing projects or even old memories. Although, it may just be that there are greater problems than you expected.

5 of cups (water):

Your emotions are at the heart of this. If you learn to accept the situation, you can detach and find the success you're looking for. The energy will begin flowing again.

Additional Thoughts:

The most common cards are wands and cups. The symbolism behind the elements is that wands represent the initial energy that leads to new developments, and cups are creative and emotional. In elemental terms, they are fire and water.

As many of you know, fire and water are perceived as opposites. They don't mesh well together and constantly put each other out. However, this is only partially correct. When they're put in proper order, it can lead to amazing transformations.

One of the most obvious examples is fire boiling water. This is a purifying process. Regarding the symbolism behind the suits, fire purifying water is like using your willpower to filter your emotions so only the most important things are left. You boil down your feelings to the source.

The spread makes it clear that the issue is about an inability to channel your own energy for emotional acceptance, which will lead to greater things. Every wand or fiery card is reversed, further indicating the lack of willpower and drive to get what you want. However, I want to turn your attention to the final card, as the way to resolve this situation lies there.

The final card deals with acceptance, particularly from a tough situation. Being able to accept is an act of directed willpower, which, as you probably guessed, has to do with wands. So, while the final card is water (five cups), it can only be useful if the direct energy of fire is present.

[dailydivination365]

I Ching Reading: Enthusiasm:

Enthusiasm is a special time when things move like there's no resistance. The symbolism of this hexagram is thunder over the earth. As anyone who's experienced a thunderstorm, it's natural for thunder's loud voice to strike the earth. While some find it scary, it can also be a way, a very loud way, to celebrate nature. The I Ching calls you to be as enthusiastic as thunder striking the earth.

Moving lines:

1st:

All enthusiasm isn't good enthusiasm. I said things would move smoothly, but that's only if things were in order. When enthusiasm expresses itself only for itself, it becomes selfish. It's enthusiasm that isn't shared by the community but only by the person expressing it.

2nd:

You must be firm like a rock. You need to know what enthusiasm is genuine and what is selfish. The previous moving line may not signify your selfish enthusiasm but someone you know. This moving line discusses how making your resolve like a rock will prevent you from falling into it.

If any conflict pops up that you know would destroy your state of being, then walk away as quickly as possible. If you keep yourself centered, you'll experience true enthusiasm within yourself. An enthusiasm for life without having to lose everything first.

The Marrying Maiden:

This hexagram is funny because it discusses a typically happy ceremony through a veil of caution. However, it's very applicable to this situation.

The example that comes to mind is when you first experience a relationship and enter the so-called honeymoon phase. In other words, it's enthusiasm for the relationship. However, if you enjoy it for selfish gain, it's bound to let you down. But if you manage to be firm like a rock, you'll know when to walk away when a serious red flag arises. Thus, the heart of the marrying maiden comes to the surface.

The I Ching uses the marrying maiden to describe the importance of entering into a vocation like marriage with the intention of having it for the rest of your life. It's not something that should be thought about superficially. While relationships are a common way to understand this message, they apply to any facet of life requiring major commitments.

So, take some time to meditate on being firm as a rock despite feelings of enthusiasm so you can experience true joy in your life. If you're going to marry someone or something in life, don't be afraid to take your time to think and walk away if a conflict arises that threatens to destroy your approach.

[dailydivination365]

King of Pentacles - Reversed

Kings symbolize social responsibility, order, power, and success. They rule over kingdoms and ensure that everything runs smoothly. The king of Pentacles is no different.

This king is tied to the element - earth. The card shows several bulls around this throne, and his robe appears made of grape leaves and grapes. The bull is a special symbol because when it's wild, it's extremely dangerous, but when it's tamed, it's one of the best and most hardworking farm animals. It's also incredibly docile.

The Tyrannical King:

However, this is all when the king is upright. When reversed, the king's power becomes misaligned. He no longer seeks to maintain responsibility for the people but for himself. If there's order, power, and success, it's only because it benefits him.

Since he's the king of the earth, it can be a symbol for using the materials around you to benefit yourself. You aren't concerned with how it may affect another person. The abundant grapes meant to be shared are kept for you because you can't help but enjoy the beautiful flavors.

I doubt many of you will think you're the selfish king I just described, but it may perfectly fit the description of someone you know.

The Impoverished King:

There's another approach to the reversed king. It can symbolize one who's out of touch with one's strength. In this case, since the king is earthly, it's being out of touch with material abundance. The earth is supposed to give you power, but for some reason or another, your harvests aren't as abundant as they should be.

Connection with Earthly things:

Single cards are always tough to resolve, but they speak so much wisdom. The only way for the earthly king to reclaim his power is to connect with what gave him abundance. You need to find a way to rekindle your connection with earthly things. This doesn't just mean grounding yourself by going for nature walks but also consciously acting on your finances and sensual relationships.

It's easy to only see pentacles as dealing with money, but they're so much more than that. It's the root of our existence in a most primal form. It's our need to eat, drink, have shelter, foster connections, and survive. At the heart of it, we only make money because we need it to live. We no longer have to hunt for food or find water; we now just earn money to trade for food and water. But nothing's really changed.

So, with the pentacles in mind, it's time to reclaim your earthly throne. What can you do as the king of your life to make the grapevine flourish and give you tangible abundance?

[dailydivination365]

I Ching Reading: Return

Return happens on one of two occasions, the first being a return from a circumstance you could not overcome. The second is a joyful return from travel. Regardless of the circumstances, you'll be met with love and care.

Moving lines:

2nd:

A quiet return isn't a bad one. It's sometimes best not to announce your return to all those around you but simply return to life as you once left it. This example could be applied to a spiritual journey. You walk a journey within yourself, and when you return to the material world, you continue off without a soul knowing what happened.

3rd:

It's okay to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. In this case, you do something that causes you to retrace your steps. Then, you do the same thing again and again until you learn. Some people see a single mistake as forgivable, but any after aren't. While I understand this perspective, it's not realistic, as some people need to make many more mistakes to learn something new. This also applies to relationship matters.

Peace:

When all things are in their proper place, peace makes its home. The initial hexagram focuses on spiritual travel and quiet return but also on continuing to make the same mistakes until you learn the lessons you feel you need. The transformed hexagram shows that this is the natural course of events. It may initially be difficult, as spiritual travel can be, but it'll ultimately lead to peace and success.

I struggle with making the same mistakes several times, but this reading reminds me that those times when life cycles constantly may be exactly what's needed. Instead of getting anxious and worried, as I normally do, it's a reminder to let the whirlpool drag me around until the escape makes itself abundantly clear.

[dailydivination365]

Reading

You're being called to do work to develop yourself. It's about merging technical skills, spiritual understanding, and the desire to raise yourself to higher levels. It also reminds you that physical and mundane work can lead to spiritual enlightenment.

This message may appear when you're dissatisfied with your work and things are not going well for you.

Fortunately, this part of the journey is coming to an end or reaching some sort of completion.

It may come about through some kind of disturbance—one that's deep in your unconscious, but it's bringing itself to the surface because it doesn't want to be ignored anymore.

Intellect is good, and so is spiritual enlightenment. However, they're only perfect when fused together. Some parts are missing, and considering the previous cards, it seems you lack spiritual enlightenment and energy.

You're not following your instincts as you should; instead, you act with surface-level intentions that don't get you anywhere. You need to act on what's within.

However, how can you act on what's within if you don't know what's within? The only way to gain self-knowledge is to take time to isolate and become a spiritual hermit.

This may result in being disturbed by some memories or realizing you may have more problems than you realized.

This may result in you becoming more generous, giving you a sense of freedom. It can also cause you to realize that your life isn't as stable as you thought it was. Regardless, digging within will allow you to live a better life.

I Ching Reading:

The Wanderer

The wanderer represents someone who has no home and is a stranger. They aren't able to make any major changes, and they should keep to themselves as they don't have any support.

The symbol of the wanderer is associated with someone traversing a spiritual path never walked before. For those who've walked or are walking it, it's a lonely road where you feel like no one understands you.

6th Moving line:

The most dangerous situation a wanderer can find themselves in is if they're too comfortable in their current situation. It's easy to take life for granted when things are easy, but you'll lose everything precisely at this moment. It's good to enjoy life, but remember that you're just traveling and that where you are isn't your home.

The preponderance of the Small:

Moving lines shift the state of things to a new state. In this case, the moving line brings our attention to the importance of attention to small things. In this case, it's about not flying too high from ambition. It's to remember that your home is on earth.

Instead of trying to accomplish great feats that could be revered by many generations, do small things every day that make your life better and slowly build recognition from those around you. This hexagram tells you how a wanderer should live and the importance of not taking your position for granted. If you do this, everything will be given to you.

I Ching info:

62. The Preponderance of the small - thunder over mountain

[dailydivination365]

Reading:

You feel like your problems are getting out of control, which pushes you to try a different approach.

However, you're stopped by fear and embarrassment, leading you to indecision. Regardless, it's time to act.

You need to be confident in yourself and aware of your situation. Fortunately, this awareness and confidence seem to be right around the corner.

But it looks like it'll show up unexpectedly. You may realize how dissatisfied you are with life in general.

You may feel hungry for power, or it could simply be that you're struggling to mature and take charge of your life. You do have the power to use what you know for good, but you need help to do it.

Yet, the sword of justice always strikes. Simply put, you always reap what you sow. It can also be an insight into your situation and a desire to improve, but I lean towards the first meaning.

The final card depicts a crossroads born from a painful loss. One path is not accepting your harvest, which may not be a good one and inevitably lead to worse harvests. The second path is developing a new sense of awareness despite the loss.

Additional thoughts:

Three suits balance each other out perfectly except for cups. There are two wands, two pentacles, and two swords. From an elemental perspective, that's fire, earth, and air. A combination of these elements can be extremely destructive as there's not enough of one element (water) to stop the destructive force of the three.

It seems like destruction is bound to happen, and all you can do is accept it when it comes. However, now that this knowledge is in your hands, future events can be changed to avoid this.

The main problem of this spread appears to be represented by the king of swords in reverse. He's the one who uses his natural communicative talents for selfish motives and ultimately runs himself into the ground, losing everything he's achieved. To avoid this problem, you must ensure you aren't blinded by your ambitions.

The wands and pentacles, as the first four cards, indicate your approach and how you're being broken down. You're tired from fighting, and your problems are getting out of control. You need to act and know that comes from self-reliance and confidence. While awareness is typically good, this leads you to realize dissatisfaction with your life and ultimately blows your emotional control out of the water. You take the sword and cut through everyone who stands in your way rather than protect your allies.

For those with whom this reading resonates, think about what you can do to avoid collapse. As Jesus said, "Those who live by the sword die by the sword." How can you throw the sword down to reap a plentiful harvest?

Reading:

54. The Marrying Maiden:

Marriage is typically seen as celebratory, but all good things come with bad. Here, the I Ching focuses on the negative aspects of marriage - the end.

3rd Moving line:

We can't always have everything we want. While it's good to focus on your goals and how to achieve them, if you constantly focus on things that are out of reach and may even negatively impact your self-esteem, you'll inevitably be led to disappointment.

6th Moving line:

Another important element when approaching your goals is your intentions. The I Ching uses the example of two people marrying and following the formalities of a wedding ceremony perfectly but aren't in love. The man or the woman will eventually desire love and inevitably find it somewhere else.

This symbolizes a warning that approaching your goals needs to be done with a sincere intention, as you'll eventually seek to satisfy that intention.

14. Possession in Great Measure

Having this hexagram as the transformed hexagram is incredibly interesting. It shows how important it is to ensure that the success you see for yourself aligns with what your heart really wants. It leads to possession in great measure, meaning you have great power to do whatever you like. What's funny is that this power sits with the person who is the most modest and humble.

Looking back at the previous hexagram, it seems like you need to accept the situations you're in. If you can learn to accept your situations, accept the need to change, regardless of how hard it may be, and follow through with the change, you'll have possession in great measure. While you may lose something initially, something you don't fully care about, you will gain more success and wealth than you could ever have imagined.
