The cauldron is greatly fortunate and flows through — a time of stability and attainment, cooking the raw into the new.
Wood catching fire to heat the cauldron — the three-legged cauldron cooking food and nourishing people, steady in its form.
Today is a day of cooking something to completion and settling into place. 'Ding' is the cauldron standing firm on three legs — as the raw is cooked into food, effort ripens into fruit. Keep your place upright and your cause firm, and within that steady vessel good things are nurtured. As stability follows transformation, set up a new order at the end of change.
At the end of change a new order stands. Cook with care from your right place, and good things are nurtured.
What are you patiently bringing to completion, and is your footing steady enough to nurture it?
※ Inspired by the philosophy of change in the I Ching — not a traditional divination ritual.
