THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESS

CONCERNS: Potential achievements, always a tight-rope walk between success and failure, with balance being the key; the need for unremitting steadiness as order is being brought out of disorder; the understanding that every experience is a new experience, which suggests the need for sober assessment.

1. We risk humiliation if we plunge headlong into this situation.
2. Do not act yet, but keep ready and gather strength.
3. Although it looks possible to accomplish this task single-handedly, it cannot be done. We need to obtain help or helpers and then proceed.
4. This is a turning point in our life, so we are advised to engage in a decisive battle to overcome all obstacles, no matter how long it takes, firm in the knowledge we will ultimately succeed.
5. Persevering inner strength and virtue have prevailed and a new era dawns for us.
6. It is appropriate to feel joyful at the imminent conclusion of an important task, but we are warned that our joy must not expand into imprudence or what has been gained can be lost and the entire project fail.

COMMENT: Bringing order out of disorder, establishing new forms and real creativity all require the harmonious application of courage and craftsmanship to our work; we need to strive toward our goal and, simultaneously, neglect nothing. Since every end is a new beginning, such sincerity should be practiced without end.
