As people start to emerge from their hibernation, the world seems to be waking back up.

As China has been writing for thousands of years, darkness and light are in constant tension with one another. Sometimes light energy has us all feeling lit, and sometimes dark energy comes to the fore. This week, I’m expecting the last little bit of the darkness—but amidst the darkness, when you hold to the light in yourself, this may be at time to advance. Learn more about the I Ching’s lessons on this topic in this week’s SpiritCast!
