Also listening to your gut feelings about what is right. Stay true to yourself and your core values and peace, balance, and harmony will be restored sooner rather than later.

Aries

Your 2023 trigrams are K’an (Water) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Chun or Difficulty at the beginning.
These two highly active trigrams combined with your fire sign are going to make 2023 an interesting year for you. Chen is warning you things will be turbulent but also offers the hope of a new perspective and improvements once things have settled down. K’an indicates struggles ahead and maybe a feeling of being trapped. K’an also indicates there is a hidden aspect to things that you need to discover. Keep your confident optimism to the fore, and don’t get impatient or angry. K’an rules the ears so really listen to what others are saying. Someone will say something that you really need to hear and understand. The quicker you understand what is needed the quicker the turbulence will die down and you may be pleasantly surprised by how good things are once they settle.

Taurus

Your 2023 trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over K’an (water) and the hexagram is called Meng or Youthful folly. 2023 will provide you with lots of opportunities to learn things – often about yourself. Learning can only happen when you are prepared to listen and engage with the process. Ken is all about personal growth. Ken is also an invitation to meditate. K’an is warning you until the lesson is learned you will not be able to move on. K’an is also warning you you need to let go of some things and ideas. 2023 is a time to compromise. Don’t be stubborn about doing things the way they have always been done. In fact don’t try and ‘do’. Ken is all about stillness and K’an indicates you are being held in place until you are ready to move on. 2023 is a year for you to be who you are meant to me then your practical side will become much more effective.

Gemini

Your 2023 trigrams are K’an (Water) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called Pi of Holding together. In 2023 your task is to hold to what you know to be true, good, and right within yourself so that you can have better relationships with others. K’an is inviting you to let go of things, like your tendency to be indecisive. K’un is inviting you to be receptive to others but also to be reflective of what their words may mean for you. Water and earth naturally hold together but your natural airy nature may well feel confined as if you are being asked to walk through mud. This hexagram is challenging you to find inner independence, to learn to be happy with your own company, to develop a better relationship with yourself. Because it is only when we have a good relationship with ourselves that we can have good relationships with others. K’an rules the ears. You are being asked to listen and learn to trust yourself. You have no need to be nervous. You are awesome.

Cancer

Your 2023 trigrams are Tui (Lake) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called Ts’ui or Gathering together. 2023 is the year when you need to develop a sense of independence and let go of the many insecurities you may have about yourself or your abilities. Other people may well be your biggest challenge this year. You may even find yourself as a leader – don’t worry- you’ve got this! Even if things don’t move as fast as you would like. If you are starting a project, by the end of the year you may well be surprised by how far its progressed. K’un is warning you not to get too caught up in emotions and guard against going along with the crowd. Tui is telling you this is the year to find your voice but to be sure when you use it you are speaking only what is true. If the truth seems hidden, trust your gut instincts. And remember to take time to do things you enjoy just because you can.

Leo

Your 2023 trigrams are Li (Fire) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called Wei Chi or Before completion. This will be a year of change for you. This means challenges and you need to make sure you have the correct perspective on things because its not going to be easy. But it will be worthwhile when its done. You may well feel the change is being imposed on you but don’t be stubborn. The change needs to happen and it will be easier for you if you don’t fight it. Li is asking you to see things clearly especially as K’an is suggesting some things may be hidden initially. Li rules the eyes, K’an rules the ears so you need to use both because there are things you need to learn. It may be hard but it will be laying the foundations for something you have never imagined. The work and challenges are necessary to get to where you need to be. This is building a trim foundation for when things are complete – so it lasts.

Virgo

Your 2023 trigrams are K’un (Earth) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called K’un The Receptive. You are going to feel SO at home in 2023. K’un indicates a gentle, feminine and creative energy is guiding you and as an earth sign, you feel quite comfortable! This doesn’t mean things will always be easy though. When challenges occur don’t start doubting yourself. Just trust it will all work out and go with the flow of events. Be receptive to possibilities in situations and people even if things are not going according to plan, or people don’t understand you. Don’t worry if there is no obvious progress. Trust things are happening out of sight. Don’t feel you need to change things to make them more attractive. The earth is a dull brown and is still vital. Don’t give in to self doubt. Trust that you are being guided on the right path. You have planted a seed…2023 is when it will grow and flourish.

Libra

Your 2023 trigrams are Li (Fire) over K’an (water) and the hexagram is called Wei Chi or Before completion. Change is in the air, even if you don’t want change. But don’t give in to self pity. K’an indicates a hidden dimension to things and you need Li’s clarity to understand how things really are. You also need to resist the urge to push back, or try to move things along faster than they want to go. K’an indicates you are being held back until the right time to move forward. You can’t see the right path yet but it will appear. Also you need to use your eyes and ears because you have something to learn quite possibly about yourself. You are a work in progress and by the end of 2023 you will see real progress. But to get there you need to practice ‘Wu Wei’ or the noble art of letting things happen. Just as water carves out great canyons just by flowing over the ground, you don’t need to do anything except be you and allow change to happen. If you try to interfere or speed things up it won’t help. 2023 may feel like a wild ride but when it ends you will be surprised just how much better things are.

Scorpio

Your 2023 trigrams are K’an (Water) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Chieh or Limitation. As a water sign you should feel comfortable with these two watery trigrams. 2023 has the potential to be a good year for you. And it will be if you can accept that some things are not meant to be and resist manipulating things to get what you feel is right. You need to accept that the goal is not be right, or to be seen to be right, but just to be. People and situations can be challenging but there is no need to force things. Water always takes the path of least resistance and in 2023 this is something you need to do. K’an is warning you that you may make things worse if you force situations. If you feel you need to do something while you wait for a better time to act, Tui is inviting you to go and play, to do something for no other reason than you enjoy it. Tui is asking you to remember there is more to life than your goal and passions. In 2023 the invitation to explore what else life has to offer.

Sagittarius

Your 2023 trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called I or Increase. The omens are good for you in 2023. Things are moving in the right direction and you need to make the most of it. But you need to do so in the right way and remember just because you can do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Sun is all about gentleness and softness and you are being invited to be soft and gentle with others. Impatience rarely achieves much. Be gentle with yourself as well. One mistake doesn’t mean the whole thing is ruined. Infact, mistakes can be learning opportunities to get an even better result. Chen indicates a change of perspective is needed. Sometimes our own attitudes are the biggest hindrance to progress. This is especially so when faced with a problem. Because they can be learning experiences, chances for growth, or guidance towards new opportunities you had never considered. It all depends how you choose to see them. Chen is an invitation to look at your perspectives and maybe find more positive ones.

Capricorn

Your 2023 trigrams are Ch’ien (Heaven) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Li or Treading. The lesson of 2023 is not to try to force things to happen. The phrase ‘treading water’ sprang to mind when this hexagram was drawn for you. And 2023 may feel more of a marathon than a sprint but that could be just what you need. Ch’ien indicates positive energies around you but they are underpinned by Tui. Tui is all about relaxation, having fun, finding the beautiful, the creative and the spiritual in life. So maybe instead of trying to force through a solution to a problem, step back, relax and do something you really enjoy. Tui rules speech and this hexagram is also inviting you to think carefully not only about what to say, but whether to say anything at all. Ch’ien rules the knowledge and wisdom. You have a lot of both so use them. But they don’t give you automatic rights to anything and no automatic right to see things happening as and when you want them to. They probably WILL happen, eventually and while you are waiting, just chill. Get out of your head and appreciate the many good things in your life.

Aquarius

Your 2023 trigrams are Li (Fire) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Shih ho or Biting Through. Chen indicates 2023 is a year of change for you. It may feel uncomfortable, indeed 2023 may feel very turbulent. Chen often indicates a change in perspective is needed and Li is all about warmth, clarity and affection. You are being asked to see others in Li’s affectionate light and it may not easy. ‘Biting Through’ is about getting to the truth but it’s not just about finding out what the truth of the situation is. It’s about deciding what to do with that knowledge. Li rules the eyes, helping you see things with clarity. Chen indicates a different perspective may be needed. Rose tinted glasses don’t hide the truth, they help you see it through a different filter and your filters can be a little too detached and uncompromising at times. In 2023 you need to let your progressive original creative side out. You may end 2023 a rather different person to who you are at the start but that doesn’t mean things must inevitably be bad. You may be surprised how good it ends up being.
