Pisces

Your July trigrams are Tui (Lake) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called Ts’ui or gathering together. The overall message of this hexagram is not to doubt yourself especially when dealing with other people. In July you may find other people difficult to deal with and you need to listen to your inner wisdom. Don’t fall into the trap of going too far to keep the peace. Sometimes a good argument is a great way to clear the air. Focus on what your priorities are even if other people remain
opposed you have to do what you feel is best for the majority. Tui is called Joyousness. And Tui is reminding you to step away from the battleground and take some peaceful time for yourself. Tui is also asking you to choose your words with care. K’un is about patience and following your gut feelings. Ignore them at your peril. Even if this combination of water (lake) and earth feels like mud holding you in one place, if you stay true to yourself it will all work out.

Aries

Your July trigrams are K’un Earth) over K’un (Earth) and the hexagram is called K’un the Receptive. The overall message of this hexagram is to bear with everything in the same way the earth bears with all that lives on it. In July you may well need patience. Don’t give into impulse. K’un is about being receptive and patient with regard to people and events. Don’t give into doubts about how things are going. Don’t give up. Doubt can become a loud voice in your mind that drowns out everything at a time you need to be receptive to some very subtle signals going on round you. You can’t force progress, The good news is change is on the way. When it happens it will need all of your energy. Until then just accept you can’t do much; stop beating yourself up about not having an instant solution. A better solution than anything you could put into action now will turn up. Above all be honest with yourself and others and frame any ‘disaster’ with the words ‘In 5 years time will this matter?’

Taurus

Your July trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Ch’ien (Heaven) and the hexagram is called Ta Ch’u or The taming power of the great. The overall message of the hexagram is if things seems to be spiralling out of control, focus on the big issues and the bigger picture. Changes can unbalance anyone and you don’t like changes. Your natural instinct is to fight to keep things as they were, but you need to be patient, and be prepared to compromise. Ken is telling you that you just need to be still. Ch’ien indicates good creative forces are working with you and all you have to do is let them do their work. Nothing is needed from you… honestly! While the current position is uncomfortable, it will pass. While your ego may be a little hurt that you can’t do anything, while you are just waiting you have time to reflect, use your mind
and you may well see the potential in the current situation once it settles. Nothing lasts forever and this situation will resolve, potentially in a much better way than your could ever have imagined.

Gemini

Your July trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Ku or work on what has been spoiled. The overall message of the hexagram is make sure your ideas and thoughts are based on accurate information and be tolerant of others when they just can’t see why their beliefs, possibly about you, are wrong. The only person whose mind you can change is yours. Luckily you find change easy and your curiosity may be your best friend in July. Especially if a long cherished belief, almost traditional, is being challenged. Be open to the thought that you can be wrong. Don’t be afraid to swim against the tide of popular opinion. But be understanding and gentle with those who are not ready to understand why you have changed. Ken is about stillness and personal growth. You need to focus not on doing things, but working out why and how they should be done. Sun is about gentleness and perseverance. If you go in like a bull in a china shop you will damage things. The path of least resistance is peaceful and that’s what you need. If things go slower than you would like don’t give up. Consistency is key to the perseverance Sun is telling you that you need.

Cancer

Your July trigrams are K’un (Earth) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Lin or Approach. The overall message of this hexagram is better times are approaching and you need to have some perseverance and work at keeping balanced. Let go of your tendency to feel insecure. You also need to let go of your tendency to want to manipulate things. K’un is asking you to be patient and be prepared to be led by people and events. K’un indicates creative forces are helping you but they are yin, gentle, and feminine. Listen to to your intuition. Tui is suggesting you take time out to have some fun. Don’t be afraid to let people know how you feel. Speak your truth. You may find that you make some mistakes but learn from them and keep moving on. Use your tenacity to hold steady even if it takes a few weeks to see the improvements. Slow and steady wins the race.

Leo

Your July trigrams are Ch’ien (Heaven) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Li or Conduct. The overall message of the hexagram is don’t try to force things. In this context Li can also mean ‘Treading’ – in this case like treading on a tigers tail – where the tiger symbolises fate. Ch’ien is pure male yang creative energy. It doesn’t need any help from you to achieve its purpose. Tui is inviting you to find a favourite place and relax. Maybe even take a holiday. Go somewhere you will be pampered. You feel passionately about a situation and your natural response is to do something. Don’t take it personally but not all problems need your input. You could make things worse. Ch’ien rules wisdom. Tui rules speech. So please engage your brain before operating your mouth. Fire (your nature) and water (Tui’s lake) tend to create a stream. You can’t see what’s going to happen. You are not meant to. For once trust others to do things.

Virgo

Your July trigrams are Chen (Thunder) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Hsiao Kuo or Preponderance of the small. The overall message of the hexagram is to think before you act and maybe don’t act at all. Your mantra tends to be if a job needs doing properly, do it yourself. Chen indicates things need to
change. And this mantra is one thing you need to change. The good news is Chen not only indicates a sudden change in circumstances but an improvement in circumstances without you needing to do anything. While not being in charge, or having no control over things may make you feel uncomfortable, it’s really for your own good. Ken is inviting you to sit still and look at the bigger picture. You may need a new mantra – ‘Self care is never selfish’ – comes to mind. There is nothing wrong in asking others to help. Maybe they don’t do things the way you would but you don’t have a monopoly on being right.

Libra

Your July trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Tui or The Joyous. The overall message of this hexagram is to try to be as placid and unruffled as the surface of a beautiful still clear lake. It’s all about freedom. True freedom that comes from detachment and the apparent freedom of indifference. Remain detached from things Don’t cling to those things you classify as ‘good’ and don’t push away those you classify as ‘bad’. Tui asks you to have a childlike approach to life – no preconceptions and seeing the possibilities in everything (and everyone ). You want everyone to get on but sometimes are reluctant to confront those who ruffle your inner peace. But remember that ‘ruffling’ is something you allow to happen! Tui represents joy, beauty, spirituality, pleasure. Tui also rules speech. Before you speak think ‘Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary.’ You can get too attached to the sound of your own voice at times. Sometimes the best approach is NOT to speak.

Scorpio

Your July trigrams are Sun Wind) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called’ Sun – The gentle penetrating wind. The overall message of this hexagram is to be gentle consistent and persistent. This may be a challenging time for you but you need to trust yourself and other people. Distrust makes you put up defences and be rigid when you need to be flexible. If you are open to it, and can lower your defences, the solutions you need will come to you. Sun asks you to reflect, to concentrate, to use
your intellect. Maybe to work out why you distrust someone. True friendship is built on honesty. You may well find you are not being honest with yourself about something. And you may well need the help of others and they will be there if you approach them in the right way – honestly, gently. You may well be surprised by how well it all works out.

Sagittarius

Your July trigrams are Tui (Lake) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called K’un or Oppression. The overall message of this hexagram is not to give into the idea that everyone is out to get you. You may feel as if it is because these watery hexagrams are very much at odds with your fiery sign. You need to get rid of doubt and impatience. Stop ruminating about things that have gone wrong. Tui rules speech so be wary of your tendency to speak first and think afterwards. K’an is telling you
to let go of thoughts and ideas that no longer serve you. If change is needed it needs to start with you. If you feel like a square peg in a round hole it’s time to shave those corners off. You are where you need to be right now. Stop fighting against it and just go with the flow.

Capricorn

Your July trigrams are Li (Fire) over K’an (Water) and the hexagram is called Wei Chi or Before Completion. The overall message of the hexagram is you need to get a different perspective on the issue and what the problem really is. Neither fire nor water fit well with your earthy sign, which may make you feel uncomfortable. Also fire and water together make steam or fog and you may feel you are stuck at not being able to see a way out. K’an often indicates a feeling of being trapped. But Li is about clarity. Use your head. You’ve been through times like this before, you know it will be resolved. Just deal with one thing at a time because you are good at that. Li rules the eyes. Use yours well. K’an rules the kidneys and getting rid of things that are bad for you. Be prepared to be surprised and don’t feel success is defined by one particular outcome. The final outcome may well surprise you and in a good way.

Aquarius

Your July trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Ta Kuo or preponderance of the great. The overall message of this trigram is that when opportunities present themselves that is the time to take great care. Sun is all about gentleness and a gentle persistent approach is what you need. It might not feel like it but things are growing and improving. The risk is all the progress will be lost if you don’t act at the right time. Tui rules speech and saying the right thing at the right time could be the key to success. When the time is right there may only be a short time to act and you need to be ready. Your natural tendency to think outside of the box could be your biggest asset. Tui is reminding you things like beauty and spirituality really matter. If you have been trying to find time for some personal development, July could be when it happens. Sun is asking you to reflect and concentrate on what you really need, rather than what you want.
