The sun has now moved to Gate 47, REALIZATION or EPIPHANY. In the I-Ching this hexagram is called OPPRESSION.

As the other end of the channel to Gate 64, CONFUSION, this energy very much plays into that process of making sense out of what was once CONFUSING. It is about trusting and knowing that the EPIPHANY will happen when it needs to happen; that we will REALIZE what it all means.

It is often nicknamed the MINDSET gate. Because it is easy over time to feel like the CONFUSION will never pass. The harder one works at understanding what has been downloaded, the less likely there will be a REALIZATION. So it follows it will never happen. If you don’t think it will happen, it won’t.

This negative MINDSET can be very OPPRESSIVE to the process of allowing the REALIZATION to happen organically.

The lesson here is to trust that if we are meant to understand, the REALIZATION will happen when the timing is right. Trusting in the universe is key. Believing in the process is key. Believing that things will work out for the best is key.

Because this energy in its lowest expression may also find itself in the habit of having a negative MINDSET about all things. This negative attitude will OPPRESS every aspect of their life. But the other side of this coin is very much the other side of this expression. There is potential here for having the gift of living life with great Optimism. One simply has to decide to have the right MINDSET.

How do you stay positive even when things feel hard? Do you sometimes find yourself falling into a pattern of negativity and hopelessness? Why? How do you maintain the right MINDSET to live your life with a sense of hope and optimism? Do you hate it when people are self defeatist and negative? Why? Do you trust in the universe that things will work out for you? Why not? Does one bad experience mean all experiences will be bad? Is that true?

Trust in the Universe. Trust in yourself.
