The Gaian Dragon I Ching : Month of Splitting Apart

Ella Fitzgerald: Sleigh Ride

The Gaian Dragon I Ching Calendar

#1 : Splitting Apart

Nothing is permanent

Be Receptive to what is there, rather than what you think is there. Be Modest and good humored. Return to the basics. Deliver yourself from negative influences. Break Through that knot in your head. Embrace your Family.

Be a Giver, not a Taker. Kindly correct the Fool. Meditate to maintain proper perspective. Work towards Progress. Think before you act. Observe the results.

Sort out what you really need from what you merely want.

The Image

Accept the world as it is.

Know the desires of your heart.

Listen to the words of Dragons.

Study the Ancient Wisdom

The Inside

The Dragon uses foresight. A hidden defect can doom a project to failure. Be careful. Always speak the truth, & your reliability will become well known. Be Real. It is difficult to choose between Spirtual & material values. In your heart you know what you must do. Think! Deliver yourself from parasites, so that you can unite with real people. No Blame. Be firm & resolute, when dis-associating yourself from negative influences. Be Real. The Dragon does nothing. Supreme good fortune comes, when everyone assumes their responsibilities, & does their job. Meditate.

The Outside

Greed is not becoming upon one who seeks respect. Misfortune! No one has ever attained Enlightenment, without developing a sense of humor. It is easier to alter the course of the Moon, than to explain a simple truth to a fool. Get it. Trying too hard is as bad as not trying at all. Seek the Middle Way. Be Realistic! Beware of Greed, both in the world, & within yourself. Be Real! If you truly know yourself, you will be able to live without blame. Good Luck! Dragons Fighting! Violence destroys both the good & the evil in people. Misfortune!

The Lines

Top : Dragons fighting! it is better to be an axe, than a piece of wood. The situation is out of control. Get out now, before disaster strikes! Good Fortune!

5 : Strive to be the center of union, when everything is splitting apart. Good Luck! Do your best!

4 : Accept the Truth. You cannot evade the results of mis-directed activity. Come clean & plead for mercy. There will be a transition of alliances. Learn something!

3 : It is difficult, but favorable to split from a bad scene. Be Aware!

2 : Be aware & flexible, in order to avoid the worst of outcomes. Pay Attention!

1 : Wait & be aware! Stall until you can locate & understand the problem. Be sensible!

Note : The Dragon uses foresight.
