Intuitive Reading from the I Ching or Book of Change – Nourishing Personal Responsibility.
In this intuitive reading, Soul Resources offers a variety of SOS formulas and Transformation Games using the Intuitive Learning Circles and the I Ching for nourishing personal responsibility as we move into Spring, 2024.
The I Ching
The original intent of the I Ching was based on an Eastern philosophy of observation and marking changes in natural and human events. Through many centuries and contributions from shamans and master teachers, including Lau Tzu and Confucius, the Book of Change was developed into a full philosophy for applying beneficial human conduct to varying circumstances. The Art of Feng Shui is part of that philosophy.
Understanding the Larger Picture
Changes in your environment have been very unstable and will continue to aggravate a volatile social and political environment. Many influences are swirling together making this a chaotic time, driven by conscious fears, misperceptions and karmic consequences rising up to the surface. Unconscious karma is often the cause of problems that keep returning and repeatedly throw people out of balance. If you’re wise, you’ll slow down and take a closer look at experiences that feel oh, so familiar.
“The Truth has no Master and is indebted to none.
Therein lies its power to set us free.”
The reasons why things haven’t been going well are already making themselves known. Those who double down on resisting the Truth will likely experience a level of karmic backlash which could be quite painful. The good news is, if you’re willing to slow down, pay attention and make appropriate corrections, you’ll find amazing opportunities to correct your karma. There are opportunities to set things right that have been amiss for a very long time.
♦ Poor communication is at the core of many of our difficulties. Using the I Ching flow of MODERATION will help turn things around.
The I Ching
Navigate Volatility through MODERATION
The I Ching energy has been traveling in a multiple highway pattern for some time and it’s likely to remain that way for much of the next year.
Whenever that happens, it’s best to find the flow of Hexagram #15 MODERATION or “the Middle Road” to help you keep your balance. The original text offers some specific advice to follow:
“This is a good time to bring some equilibrium to your more personal relationships. Examine your deepest feelings and see if you are harboring any extremes in your expectations or selfish desires in your motivations. Try to moderate any unrealistic ideals.” ~ Hexagram #15 MODERATION, The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing
The Chinese Zodiac
We have fully transitioned into the Year of the Dragon on February 10th, 2024, which is a very popular archetypal energy.
The positive qualities of Dragon are: Energetic, Confident. Ambitious. Intelligent. Generous. However, the negative qualities can also be: Unstable. Intolerant. Lack of persistence. Unrealistic.
Complimentary Zodiac Signs are Monkey and Rat.
The Dragon’s Secret Friend is Rooster.
His energy goes decidedly against Dog.
If you’re having trouble getting in sync with this energy and staying that way, use this Transformation Game to adapt to the Year of the Dragon.

The Tarot
The Tarot Major Arcana Card for 2024 is # VIII: Strength (2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8)
The basic meanings for the Strength card are Power. Action. Courage. Commitment and Magnanimity. The number 8 is the infinity symbol upright.
Subconsciousness is the Woman in this card and the image suggests that she has the Lion in complete control. This card conveys the potential for an expansion of consciousness that makes for greater control over our instinctual animal natures.
However, in reverse it can mean: Abuse of power. Despotism. Weakness or Discord.
In some Tarot decks, Justice is the number 11 and in others it’s the number 8.
The meanings for the Justice card are: Equity, Karma. Balance. Discernment. Descrimination. Illumination of truths.
Reversed: Imbalance. Bigotry. Bias. Prejudice. Excessive severity.
Needless to say, the playing out of Karma and karmic law is front and center in many people’s minds during this election year. The potential for anything to happen is possible. For a more positive outcome, the archetypal energy of Justice will need to be activated through a willingness to pierce through the darkness of denial and ignorance. Do we have the ability to do that? Are we willing?
That brings us back to the primary Tarot energy for the year – Strength
Strength often represents the great cosmic force in the human organism called kundalini. Whenever working with the instinctual forces of nature, one must be careful and patient, otherwise things can go wildly out of control.
The key to awakening the power safely is to learn how to control your body, your mind and your emotions. The same is true for how you can effectively navigate the volatile energies that will rise and fall unexpectedly.
Slowing down, centering yourself and learning how to stay balanced in difficult situations are the most important skills to master.
