ABOVE AND BELOW:
Heaven above, the mountain below.
Light above, stillness below.
Strength without, patience within.
Firm in stillness
A sage waits for a vision.
THE IMAGE:
Light on the mountain.
At the summit,
One observes.
A sage on the mountain,
Who sees what others cannot.
A breakthrough in solitude.
One cannot stay here forever.
The way home becomes apparent.
Rest before you start.
THE JUDGEMENT:
One pauses
In the hustle and bustle of life.
One feels a need for inner tranquility and peace.
One breathes deeply
And takes a calm approach to time demands.
In the world one is active everywhere.
At home one rests and contemplates.
Understanding will not come from action.

ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS:
00-06 LI: 33. Retreat
Great changes. Darkness ascends.
If you want something, don’t just sit there
And wait for someone to get it for you.
Get it yourself.
One actively pursues what one values
Even if one must spend some time alone in the process.
If the way before one is blocked
One must retreat and wait for a more agreeable time.
Wait for the vision, and then wait no longer.
If one can see it, one can do it.
