乾 (qián)

1

Qian (represents) what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm.

Vast is the ‘great and originating (power)’ indicated by Qian! All things owe to it their beginning: – it contains all the meaning belonging to (the name) heaven. The clouds move and the rain is distributed; the various things appear in their developed forms. (The sages) grandly understand (the connection between) the end and the beginning, and how (the indications of) the six lines (in the hexagram) are accomplished, (each) in its season. (Accordingly) they mount (the carriage) drawn by those six dragons at the proper times, and drive through the sky. The method of Qian is to change and transform, so that everything obtains its correct nature as appointed (by the mind of Heaven); and (thereafter the conditions of) great harmony are preserved in union. The result is ‘what is advantageous, and correct and firm. (The sage) appears aloft, high above all things, and the myriad states all enjoy repose.

FAITH AND MONEY

If this Oracle answer turns up in the future position in a reading, you need to be very careful about the financial, work or personal decisions you are making. Why? Because this answer describes insecurity and a great need for money. Remember, as always, changing the present can change the future.

This answer is about faith, as well as money, because in order to balance your situation, you are going to have to move out of a negative mindset and tune into the possibilities elsewhere. This may be hard. Sometimes, if hard times go on for long enough, it’s easy to keep plodding on the ‘poor me’ track forever.

This answer is very much about self-appreciation, self-confidence and faith. It is about needing to stop – even for a moment – to shake yourself out of the belief that the only thing to do is keep going in the same direction. Remember who you are and what you are capable of. Find your trust in the universe again.

It is easy to understand why you may feel out of touch – even blind to life’s rich possibilities – if you have been struggling for a long time. This is why timing and sensitivity are so important, if you are ever going to discover what is possible. Use your sixth sense to tune into the options. And take a moment to pause.

Doing this could actually turn your situation around as you discover, to your amazement, that having faith in the possibility that abundance is out there, can be enough to change the entire picture. Who knows what more there might be for you? But you’ll never know unless you believe you can receive.

One thing is certain. To keep grinding away in a situation of no abundance is to hang onto the kind of negative emotion that will never do you any favours. So a change of mind and heart is required. An act of faith, in fact. Faith can move mountains. And it can also open the door to real possibilities.
