♈
মেষ
Hexagram 19 is something drawing near, and the text attaches a clock: what approaches now turns in the eighth month. Make the opening move and note the date, because this window is generous and finite. The window is generous now and dated in the text.
♉
বৃষ
Something is approaching at a pace you can work with. Meet it early rather than waiting for it to be undeniable, which is the version of patience that costs you opportunities.
♊
মিথুন
The first meeting favours you today. Make the introduction, take the opening. Approach rewards the one who arrives first and is unimpressed by the one who arrives loudest. Arrive first rather than arriving loudest.
♋
কর্কট
Something is coming toward you and your instinct is to prepare the house rather than open the door. Open it. Approach is warm at this stage and does not stay so indefinitely.
♌
সিংহ
You are being approached, which is the arrangement you prefer. Meet it graciously rather than making it wait for effect. The eighth month clause applies to you as much as anyone.
♍
কন্যা
Something is drawing near and you will want to observe it for another week before responding. The classic gives it a deadline. Respond now, while the approach is still generous.
♎
তুলা
An overture arrives and you will weigh it against everything else on offer. Answer it properly rather than keeping it warm while you decide.
♏
বৃশ্চিক
You will look for what the approach wants before deciding whether to allow it. Fair, and today it delays a good opening. Meet it and find out afterwards.
♐
ধনু
You will say yes immediately and read the terms in October. The eighth month is in the text for a reason. Say yes, and read the terms. Say yes, and then actually read the terms.
♑
মকর
Something opens that you did not build and your instinct is to distrust it. Meet it once. Approach is not a trick; it is simply early.
♒
কুম্ভ
An overture arrives in a form you find unpromising. Meet the person rather than assessing the framework they arrived in.
♓
মীন
Something warm comes toward you and you will let it come without meeting it halfway. Take the step. Approach requires two people moving.
