Fellowship

Hexagram 13 is fellowship in the open country: people gathered in daylight rather than in a private room, united by something larger than the group itself. The text says it helps to cross the great water, which is unusual and worth noticing. This week the difficult thing is best attempted with other people. The open country matters. Alliances formed in the open, on a stated purpose, carry weight this week; the ones assembled quietly around a shared grievance do not, and will cost you later. Say plainly what the shared purpose is before you agree to anything.

For your star sign

The same reading, taken through each sign of the zodiac.

Aries

Fellowship in the open country, and the text says it helps to cross the great water. The difficult thing is best attempted with other people, in daylight, on a stated purpose.

Taurus

Alliances formed in the open and on a stated purpose carry weight now. The ones assembled quietly around a shared grievance do not, and will cost you later.

Gemini

The open country matters as much as the fellowship. Say what the shared purpose is out loud before agreeing to anything.

Cancer

Fellowship rather than the private circle. The text is specific about daylight, which is the harder half for you.

Leo

You will gather people and the card asks what for. Fellowship is united by something larger than the group. Name it.

Virgo

You will join on the basis of competence and find the purpose vague. Ask for it plainly before committing your effort.

Libra

This is your instrument and the caution is the open country. A fellowship built to keep everyone comfortable is not one.

Scorpio

You will prefer the private alliance. The text is explicit: in the open country, on a stated purpose, or not at all.

Sagittarius

Cross the water with other people rather than alone, which for you is the whole lesson of this hexagram.

Capricorn

You will contribute structure and expect the purpose to be obvious. State it. Fellowship needs the purpose said out loud.

Aquarius

Your natural ground, provided the fellowship is genuinely open rather than a circle of people who already agree.

Pisces

You will join warmly without asking what for. Ask. The open country means the purpose is visible to everyone in it.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

Fellowship in the open country, on a stated purpose. The quiet alliance around a shared grievance will cost you later.

Ox

Alliances formed in daylight carry weight now. Ask what the shared purpose is before committing your effort to it.

Tiger

The open country matters as much as the fellowship. Say the purpose out loud before agreeing to anything.

Rabbit

Fellowship rather than the private circle, which is the harder half for you. Daylight is specified in the text.

Dragon

You will gather people and the card asks what for. Fellowship is united by something larger than the group.

Snake

You will prefer the private alliance. The text is explicit: in the open, on a stated purpose, or not at all.

Horse

Cross the water with other people rather than alone, which is the whole lesson of this hexagram for you.

Goat

You will join warmly without asking what for. Ask; the open country means the purpose is visible to everyone.

Monkey

You will assemble the group and leave the purpose vague because it is more interesting that way. State it.

Rooster

You will contribute structure and expect the purpose to be obvious. Say it out loud. Check the correction improves the work, not the record.

Dog

Your natural ground, provided the fellowship is genuinely open rather than a circle that already agrees. Aim it at what actually happened rather than the pattern.

Pig

You will join on warmth alone. Warmth is not a purpose, and the text asks for one. Notice who is asking, and how often they ask.
