Stick Six — Stick Six · Jisi, the Warm Field

己巳

SteadyNothing dramatic. That is the news.

The field in early summer asks no questions.
Row by row, it answers them.

Yin earth warmed by early summer fire: fertile, unhurried, productive. This stick reads working life as a field in good heart — nothing urgent, everything growing. The counsel is agricultural: keep the rows straight, weed a little every day, and resist the urge to dig up seedlings to check their roots. Consistency is the entire message here, and it is a more generous message than it first appears.
