Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon

  Kăn-Qián, Water-Heaven

    

  When Kan meets Qián, heavy clouds pass overhead. The Heavens might open and bring the rain – or not... Nature will not answer demands, unless they are performed with total dedication. Wanting is not enough, and expecting anything will only be frustrating. Make certain you are in a good place now, what happens tomorrow is not yet part of life, but what you do from moment to moment is the road toward it. Don’t underestimate the spirits that live in your soul, concentration can open up fate or redirect it.

The initiative

    
The top line (Heaven-line) shows the change of the focus or initiative.
变上为巽,水气乘风,飘逸高远,类多润泽。
When the top line changes, trigram Water activates Wind.
The Qi of water penetrates the high blowing wind and makes it moist.

The subject

    
The bottom line (Earth-line) shows the change of the field or subject.
变初爻为兑, 水入泽中, 内塞不流, 终难远大,
  When the first line changes, Kan actives Dui. Water enters the Lake which it fills. Contained it cannot flow on; completion is difficult and takes long.

The outcome

    
The middle line (Man-line) shows the outcome.

  The middle line shows the result. It is stationary yang, there will not be any increase or decrease, but still action and output. Yang is inspiring, but it is too early to expect concrete results. The middle line is the 'man' line, it can also be about you yourself, not only what you do.
  If this project does not need a concrete solution, yang can be very positive. It will continue to inspire and bring joy and brightness. Even if it stays unsubstantial in a material sense, it can improve the lives of people, like movies, holidays, love or a guiding star. But stay within limits, yang brings increase, but without yin it is prone to deplete itself, it is relentless and tends to be too cold or to strive too much. Plans may be too theoretical or even illusionary. If you are aware of this and rein it in, yang brings the joy of plans and visions.

Inspire yourself and your surroundings.

  Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper. For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
  For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
  Active lines are the helpers to change things. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.
  Advice for the initiative: Xun, Wind, with her power to choose and influence, is lacking here or not needed. Yin remains Yin.
  Advice for the subject: Dui, Lake, with her ability to resonate and persuade, is lacking here or not needed. Yin remains Yin.
  Advice for the outcome: Kun, Earth, with her ability to nurture and concretize, is lacking here or not needed. Yang remains Yang.
  But when things are not satisfying, it might be that one or more helpers don't help enough - or try too hard. Or maybe you don't listen carefully enough.
