Ming Yi
Hexagram 36: Darkening Light, Brilliance Injured
Do not allow yourself to be swept along on a path of conventional wisdom when darkness and uncertainty exist. Try not to become depressed, anxious, confused or caught up in the storm around you. Remember, this too shall pass. It is a situation that changes. You can endure this uncertain time.
Inwardly preserve your confidence and peace of mind. This is your task now. Outwardly, you should remain flexible and cooperative. The time for you to assert yourself will come. Avoid looking too far ahead if you have not yet achieved your goal. This behavior will only bring regret and longing, which can eat away at your inner soul. Stay in the moment and ride out the dimming light. It will always become brighter once you reach the other side. Have patience.
