I
often pull this card when something is out of balance in my life. Not
the physical things, such as health, money, or time management, but
things that have to do with relationships - honesty, fairness, and
respect. In this image, the woman wears a purple tunic and has a purple
jewel on her crown. Purple is the color of wisdom, but it is also a
mixture of a warm color and a cool color (red and blue), indicating that
no favoritism will be shown. The white cloak and robe represent her
purity (no dishonesty or prejudice), but the red stole around her neck
and the red mat under her feet tell me that action will be taken to bring things back into balance.
The card from Clark and Gill's I Ching deck today is "Wind over Dragon:"

The
rice paddy workers remind me of a saying my father-in-law had: "Keep
your head down and your tail up." In the food business, it served us
well on busy days when we needed to pay attention to the customer in
front of us rather than focusing on all the people waiting to be
served. The key phrase associated with this trigram combination is
"exercise restraint." I often want to fix a situation or wrap things up
on my on timetable, but there are times when it is in my best interest
to do the task in front of me instead of forcing an outcome to happen.
As Gill states, "A gentle approach brings progress and success in the end."
