Red Phoenix King (Heaven 乾 qian2)
Be the trustworthy and intuitive Self. Listening is key. Be ready to act accordingly (and appropriately). Focus on the situation on hand.
iChing: In our earlier times, we look up to the Heavens to measure time, predict/forecast weather/seasons or other origins other than ourselves. Heaven is the Time and the Conditions that affect us. Many refer this as 'Heaven's will' or 'fate'. Instead of believing in the strange forces, we should understand Heaven as simple context. When faced with the panoply of change heaven provides us, we should act according to the circumstances, but our actions should come from our hearts, as no intellect system alone can guide us.
In that sense, we must become the heaven that sets situations in motion. Be the driver who acts, who leads, who works. We must act, and benefit all that we touch as surely as the sky sends sun and rain. Heaven creates time and circumstances. We must accept that, at the same time, we must find heaven in ourselves. We create with what heaven has given us, and in doing so, we become heaven itself.
