Taurus

Your 2022 trigrams are K’un (Earth) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Chien or Modesty. In many ways modesty comes naturally to you. You are a fixed earth sign. Not given to flights of fancy you go quietly about your life in a practical way. But once you have a feel for what is right you can cling stubbornly to ideas and attitudes. 2022 is a year when you will need to compromise on things. To accept that other people can have good ideas and that sometimes you can step back and let other people do things. This is especially so if the issue at hand is not being resolved fast enough. K’un is all about mediating, having patience and going with your gut feelings . Don’t ignore these and especially if they are warning against the way things have always been done.

One thing people often don’t understand is that your imagination can be your best friend or your worst enemy. This hexagram is warning you it may be leading you astray. If you feel what someone else is doing is wrong, your imagination may make you worry about the effect on your relationship if you decline to support them. Sometimes you have to say ‘No’ even if it upsets them. You also need to remember your best way of influencing others is by example. When you have the courage to stick to what you know is right others may well join you. Chen is warning you things need to change. Ken is inviting you to explore the needs of finding time to ‘stand and stare.’ Respect what you feel in your core being to be right and true. Don’t let worry make you compromise and drift away from your core values.

The challenges you may face can be overcome if you approach them in the right way. Sometimes this may mean going with the flow. Don’t give in to the temptation to manipulate things – just see how things develop if
you just wait. K’un is asking you to listen to your gut feelings, to remember emotions can be signals that something needs attention from you. Sun is asking you to focus on what is important and reminding you a quiet gentle approach can be even more effective but less destructive than an all out attack. And once you learn that lesson don’t forget it. It will help you deal with challenges better and leave you feeling peaceful with a greater feeling of security.

Leo

Your 2022 trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Chen or Gradual Progress. You may well face challenges this year but don’t run from them. And don’t lose your sense of humour. The good news is everything is improving but it may well be slower than you would like. Don’t let challenges frustrate you. However much you feel Sun’s wind is trying to extinguish your fiery nature, actually the breeze is going to fan the flames of creativity if you let it. The world is
NOT out to get you! You need to get the correct perspective and see challenges as a spur to growth. Sun is asking you to be persistent in self belief. Ken is reminding you of the advantages of being still sometimes to reflect, to meditate, and to review just how far you have really come.

Virgo

Your 2022 trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Chien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Ta Ch’u or The taming power of the great. There are times in life when it almost feels as if too much is happening all at once. Chien is letting you know that creative forces are working in your favour. Ken is reminding you that stillness, even in the most tumultuous situations, is a good way to cope. Let go of worry, keep your eyes on the prize, and wait to see what happens when things settle down – as they will. Chien rules wisdom and you are being advised to listen to that inner wisdom and remember there is often more than one way to achieve what is needed. You are being asked to trust that if you are diverted, there is a good reason. There is a bigger picture and your little piece will slot perfectly into place if you let it. Be open to possibilities and unexpected opportunities.

Libra

Your 2022 trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Li (Fire) and the hexagram is called Chia Jen or The family. Your natural desire for harmony may be tested in 2022 and you may feel frustrated with some people. But you need to remember 2 things. First whatever happens don’t lose sight of what is important and second you don’t need to be front and centre to change things. It’s amazing what can be done from behind the scenes. You also need to remember you cannot force people to change attitudes and beliefs. Li is reminding you of the importance of leading by example. Sun is asking you to be gentle with yourself and others but don’t give up even if that means standing by while someone learns a lesson the hard way. Both Sun and Li influence intellectual activities. Use your intelligence, be gentle and clear in communications with others.

Scorpio

Your 2022 trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Li (Fire) and the hexagram is called Chia Jen or The Family/Clan. Family can mean many different things. But whatever your family is, expect things to be rocky in 2022. You need to remember other people have to find their own way through the maze of life. You can lead but they may not choose to follow. Don’t be tempted to manipulate things or to try to force your truth on them. Their truth may well be different. Think before you act. If you are acting
because you don’t trust the other person to do the right thing then you need to step back and wait and see what happens. Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread. Just because you seem to have no power or influence does not mean you are not having an effect. Staying true to your principles and beliefs may be all you can do but that is not nothing. Leading by example is the most effective way

Sagittarius

Your 2022 trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Ku or Work on what has been spoiled. You can be very idealistic but this can end with your promising more than is possible and this may spoil things if you don’t take care. Ken is asking you to reflect on how or when you may have taken a wrong turn and Sun is asking you to use your intelligence and recognise when you are working with a faulty premise. Don’t let fear of the unknown tempt you to hold on to a cherished concept like a security blanket. Its time to step into the unknown even if that means facing fears. Ken is all about stillness, letting things happen and remembering you don’t always need to act. Sun is about being gentle with yourself and others. Recognising when you are wrong is often the key to unlocking the support that is needed to move forward to something you never even considered you could have before.

Capricorn

Your 2022 trigrams are K’an (Water) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called K’an the Abysmal and sub heading is ambition and presumption always lead to danger. The danger here is that you will give up on the idea of slow steady progress and look for short cuts. 2022 will need you to keep on being disciplined. You may well face problems and you may even feel things get abysmal – in its more common meaning. But Ka’n is letting you know that when you have no option but to stand still, it is a waste of energy and time to try to find a way out. The hidden meaning of this hexagram is that the way out will appear at the right time. But you will only be shown it when you are still enough to see it. Do not give in to catastrophizing. K’an rules the ears and you are being encouraged to listen well and practice active listening. Make sure you have heard properly before you act and 2022 could be a very good year in the end.

Aquarius

Your 2022 trigrams are Tui (Lake) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called K’un or Oppression. 2022 is the year when you need to keep faith with others and yourself. Even if things have been difficult, that does not mean no improvement is possible – whether the improvement is in a relationship, your own skills, or a difficult situation. Now is not the time to give up! Doubt clouds the mind in a very unhelpful way. Tui is asking you to see the truth of the situation and reminding you there is always time to have fun. K’an is reminding you there is always a way out of any limitation but it won’t appear until the right time and until we see things with an open and curious mind. Tui is also about wanting the right things.if you are not getting what you want, you need to trust that you are getting what you NEED. And maybe what you need is time to chill, relax, and enjoy yourself.
