Gemini 5/18/10 Overview

Do you feel like a neurotic hamster stuck in its wheel, running as fast as you can only to end up in exactly the same place? Obviously, the most sensible thing for you to do right now is to stop everything and figure out why all this action hasn't resulted in some forward movement. The answer might be as simple as working smarter (not harder) and getting rid of old habits that make you feel happy but don't accomplish as much as they should.

A great work. Achievement, reward, and well-earned recognition. A time of success, prosperity, security and joy. May also indicate travel or a change in residence.

Karma on a grand scale. An unexpected turn of good fortune. A link in the chain of events. Success, luck, and happiness.

An abrupt change, perhaps leading to a new lifestyle and enlightenment. May indicate a broken relationship, divorce, or failure in business or career.
	The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards.

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 62 - Hsiao Kuo (Preponderance of the Small): In these circumstances which it implies, there will be progress and attainment, but it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. Action may be taken in small affairs, but not in great affairs. Like the notes that come down from a bird on the wing, to descend is better than to ascend. There will, in this way, be great good fortune.
	There are no changing lines, and hence the situation is expected to remain the same in the immediate future.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chen (Thunder), which represents movement, initiative, and action.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Ken (Mountain), which represents stillness and obstruction.
