Heaven has set the course for an outcome in your favor, but patience is required. Do not force an outcome in a way that would not align with the Divine. Put your faith in the natural flow of events. Even when we pray or petition the gods and ancestors, they do not come because we\u2019ve summoned them; they come because they\u2019ve summoned us. <\/p>\n<p>                                                              <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hexagram 29: K\u01cen.

Listen to the Wind <\/h3>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-base\"> Quiet your heart and be calm. Remember that even stillness can be a form of movement. The sage contemplates the situation in stillness. It is natural for the heart to fluctuate and a mind to flutter, but exercise restraint. Listen to the wind. That is how you will hear the answer to your inquiry\u2014the wind will carry an important omen to you. Silence is the way to self-mastery. You show your strength to others when you sit tall like a mountain, walk with the formidable presence of a mountain, all the while calm and serene. Think before you speak. Silence is the way to prevailing in your endeavor. Present inaction paves the way for future gains. <\/p>\n<p>                                                            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hexagram 5: X\u016b.
