Breakthrough

Hexagram 43 says the matter must be declared at the king's court, truthfully and with a warning of danger. Something has to be said out loud today, in the open, to the people it concerns. The classic is careful: announce it in your own town first, and it does not favour taking up arms. Speak, do not attack, and expect the declaration itself to be the difficult part.

For your star sign

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

Aries

The matter must be declared at the king's court, truthfully and with a warning of danger. Say it out loud, in the open, and do not take up arms afterwards.

Taurus

You will want to say it privately to one person first. The text asks for the open declaration. Say it where the people it concerns can hear it.

Gemini

Declare it and then stop. The classic warns explicitly against arms. The declaration is the whole action, and the fight after it is not authorised.

Cancer

Saying it in the open is exactly what you avoid. Announce it in your own town first, which is the text's own concession to your instinct.

Leo

This is a public card and suits you, with one caution: truthfully and with a warning of danger. Declare it, and do not perform it.

Virgo

You will prepare the declaration until the moment passes. Say it today, imperfectly, at the court rather than in a memo.

Libra

Declare it in the open and accept that somebody will be displeased. Balance is not available here; the text requires the announcement.

Scorpio

You would rather move against it quietly. The classic forbids that specifically. Say it truthfully, in the open, and let the danger be named.

Sagittarius

You will declare it loudly and enjoy the declaring. Truthfully and with a warning of danger, says the text. Keep the second half.

Capricorn

You will handle it through the correct channel and never declare it. The court is the channel here. Say it plainly.

Aquarius

Declaring it publicly is the action rather than the prelude. Do not follow it with a campaign, which the text rules out.

Pisces

You will hint rather than declare. The text wants it said at the court, truthfully. Hinting leaves everybody free to misunderstand you.

For your Chinese animal

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

Rat

The matter must be declared in the open. You will want to handle it quietly instead, and the text rules that out specifically.

Ox

You will say it privately to one person first. The text asks for the open declaration, at the court rather than in a corner.

Tiger

Declare it and then stop. The classic warns explicitly against arms; the declaration is the whole action. Move once, deliberately, and then stop pushing.

Rabbit

Saying it in the open is what you most avoid. Announce it in your own town first, which the text allows.

Dragon

A public card, which suits you, with one caution: truthfully and with a warning of danger. Declare it, do not perform it.

Snake

You will prepare the declaration until the moment passes. Say it today, imperfectly, in the open. Consider whether what you know is more useful said.

Horse

You will declare it loudly and enjoy the declaring. Keep the second half: truthfully, and with the danger named.

Goat

You will hint rather than declare. Hinting leaves everybody free to misunderstand you, which is not the same as tact.

Monkey

You will find a witty version that says it without saying it. The court wants the plain sentence.

Rooster

You will handle it through the correct channel and never declare it. The court is the channel here.

Dog

Declare it in the open and do not follow it with a campaign, which the text rules out explicitly.

Pig

You will soften it until it carries nothing. Say it truthfully, and let the discomfort be part of it.
