day’s I Ching Hexagram for May 15 is 38: Diverging Interests

day’s I Ching Hexagram for Everyone:

38: Diverging Interests

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Hexagram 38

 General Meaning: An image of estrangement is indicated here. One example used in ancient Chinese texts is how when brothers and sisters marry, they grow apart, since their allegiances now lie with new family groups. Though they will remain close enough to successfully deal with problems and share minor interests, they will be unable to undertake anything big together. Simply put, when people grow apart — even for the most natural of reasons — their points of view, values and interests start to diverge.

Diverging interests bring opposition into the world of human affairs. And when differences morph into alienation and enmity, no good results. But when opposition takes the form of healthy competition, or when contrasting energies or positions are seen as part of the natural order of things, good fortune is still possible.

Even when diverging energies make a situation seem stagnant or futile, there are always creative possibilities inherent in polarities. One is reminded of the yin-yang interplay that is fundamental to the creation of life itself. But when opposition arises from issues of principle, you must hold to your integrity and individuality. And avoid becoming involved with vulgar or base people who do not share your values. With both people and companies, one measure of stature is the quality of the competition.

Today’s Tarot Card for May 15 is The Devil

Today’s Tarot Cardfor Everyone:

The Devil

This Tarot Deck: Hanson Roberts

General Meaning: What has traditionally been known as the Devil card expresses the realm of the Taboo, the culturally rejected wildness and undigested shadow side that each of us carries in our subconscious. This shadow is actually at the core of our being, which we cannot get rid of and will never succeed in taming. From its earliest versions, which portrayed a vampire-demon, this card evoked the Church-fueled fear that a person could “lose their soul” to wild and passionate forces.

The image which emerged in the mid-1700’s gives us a more sophisticated rendition — that of the “scapegoated Goddess,” whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione’s highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul’s passage from mortal to immortal.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, May 15

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The ambivalent Libra Moon shifts into emotionally complex Scorpio at 12:31 pm EDT, transforming our diplomatic attitudes into rigid perspectives. Fortunately, friendly Venus and chatty Mercury enter easygoing Taurus later in the day, enabling us to be more receptive to enjoying the present moment. Although we may experience some stress, the overall intensity level settles down, allowing us to process the surprising changes of the past few weeks.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even if you take the time to share your point of view with those close to you, they may not acknowledge your feelings. Apparently, you might not be communicating as clearly as you think or, maybe, someone else just can’t see beyond his or her assumptions. You could inadvertently increase everyone’s frustration level if you keep trying to say the same thing. It’s probably more sensible to start over again in a day or two. Your chances of being heard are better once your emotions have settled.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might hold back your feelings if something goes wrong today because you don’t want to stir up any more trouble. Although you believe that your strategy is based on common sense, your unexpressed feelings can create fallout of their own. Someone might think you are hard to get along with because you’re not participating in the discussion. It’s best in the long run to say what’s on your mind without placing blame on anyone else.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are quite willing to express your feelings of attraction now to someone you admire. You could be inclined to take care of a close friend, because doing things for others might be the safest way for you to share your love today. Even if your intentions are good, allow plenty of emotional space so you don’t smother anyone with your need for affection.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your frustration with others today may ultimately stem from your own discomfort. You would like to be more emotionally detached so your feelings don’t interfere with having a good time. Unfortunately, intellectualizing your reactions by telling everyone that you’re okay won’t necessarily work, because you don’t sound like you mean it. When you realize that you don’t need to share your opinions on everything that happens, you’ll be free from projecting your fears onto anyone else.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s difficult to keep your emotions from influencing your objectivity, even if you recognize that it’s smarter to stay neutral today. Ironically, you are more flexible than you sound because your words convey a high level of certainty that makes you seem unwilling to negotiate. Be as open as possible and let others know you haven’t made up your mind and that you’re willing to listen to their point of view.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You find it challenging to demonstrate your authority today because others want you to justify your choices. Unfortunately, you don’t share the same need for closure now and you’re content to sit on the fence as a conversation unfolds. You’re eager to take either position just to keep the discussion going, but you might not be ready to make up your mind. Don’t let anyone else’s sense of urgency force you to give your final answer until you’re ready.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your feelings swing like a pendulum today as you try to get comfortable with your changing moods. But even if you do find peace with the rise and fall of your emotional tides, your inconsistency may grate on others. You might try to convince someone that you aren’t attached to any particular outcome, only to get angry later in the day when things don’t go your way. Exhibiting a bit of self-control will help now because losing your temper won’t make anyone happy.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s opposition to four planets and her return to your sign indicate that you could get bent out of shape if you cannot find the peace and quiet that you want. Taking some time off sounds like a good idea, but the demands of others might make your escape impossible. Isolation can be reassuring if it offers you the space you need to think about an unresolved issue, without having to report every thought back to someone else. Enjoy your solitude when it finally arrives.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are pulled between extremes today — doing the casual social thing and digging deeper to get to the bottom of a spiritual dilemma. Thankfully, you are able to play both ends of the spectrum now, without having to choose one over the other until you are ready. Give yourself permission to respond to circumstances and make the most of each moment, whether you are enjoying the company of your friends or solving the mysteries of the universe.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Allow extra time today to acknowledge that your life is less complicated, even if it doesn’t appear that it will last. It’s wise to receive the good will that comes your way now, although you might not get much work accomplished. If someone special wants to nurture you, don’t put up a fight. Accepting love with an open heart is the right thing to do, even if it makes you feel a bit uncomfortable at first.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your feelings take you on a journey today and there really isn’t much to be gained by resisting the sojourn. Fortunately, you won’t cause any harm by just floating off into Fantasyland. It’s crucial for you to escape from the routine now, even if you can’t really go anywhere at all. If you keep up appearances by quietly fulfilling your responsibilities, you’ll be able to travel in your mind wherever you please.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may attempt to sidestep your emotions now, at least long enough to dig into a complex problem. However, you can’t separate your opinions from the answers you seek. Being aware of your bias, though, can make all the difference in the world. There’s no need for you to pretend that you are just a rational scientist when, in fact, you are also a passionate artist. Integrating your head and your heart into each situation will broaden your experience.

New Moon Report for May 15th – Mercury in Taurus

Mercury in Taurus

Sunday, May 15, 4:19 pm PDT, 7:19 pm EDT

Brainy Mercury in pragmatic Taurus prefers facts to fantasies. Steady thinking and realistic ideas provide a solid foundation for honest communication. Minds will dig in and resist pressure to examine alternative points of view, open to new ideas or tackle complex subjects. Sweet and subtle ways of addressing opposition are likely to prove much more effective than direct attacks that will spur even stronger defenses.

New Moon Report for May 15 – Venus in Taurus

Venus in Taurus

Sunday, May 15, 3:12 pm PDT, 6:12 pm EDT

Amorous Venus’ return to her earthy home sign is a celebration of sensuality and simple pleasures. A more leisurely romantic pace allows love to grow with comfort and ease. Accepting ourselves as we are increases self-worth and the ability to attract who and what we desire. There is, though, a risk of becoming self-indulgent, overly possessive and stuck in old patterns that make it more difficult to adapt to new experiences or accept change in relationships.
