The Sun has now moved to Gate 23, EXPLANATION, ASSIMILATION, or TRANSMISSION. In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called SPLITTING APART.

This is the energy for breaking down very complex ideas and concepts into digestible pieces that are easier to understand. It is SPLITTING APART what could be an overwhelming concept into understandable pieces. This is a process of course. It is as much an internal process of understanding the grand inspiration as it is a method for communicating it.

Be careful though. Right timing is everything. This is part of what is lovingly called the GENIUS TO FREAK channel. You can either come off as a freak or a genius depending on when you communicate. It is just as much about waiting until you have broken it down in an understandable way for yourself as it is waiting until other people are ready to hear it.

People with this energy can be a bit lost in their head which is understandable. They are generally not particularly good listeners. Frustrating for the people around them but certainly not personal. You'd be lost in your head too if you were solving the puzzle of how to break down enormous concepts for the benefit of humanity.

How would you rate your listening skills? Do you have the ability to get out of your own head and really listen to people? Or is this a challenge for you? Do you have a tendency to think out loud before the thought has truly baked? Are you waiting to see if people are open to hearing from you? How can you do a better job of stopping to really listen to what they have to say first?

Take the time to think it fully through and then use your gift to help others understand.
