No. 49, Revolution / Renewal / Changing

"Fire in the lake; the image of revolution.
Thus the superior man
Sets the calendar in order
and makes the seasons clear."

If you've been thinking that now is the time to make a change, you're right. What's more, others will listen to you - and believe you! - bringing about "supreme success." And - this will allow you to let go of regrets over what has happened in the past. This does not mean there will not be conflict. Quite the contrary. The influences at work here are exact opposites: fire and water.

The analogy here is of the "battle" of the dark forces of winter being overcome by the "light" force of spring.

That's why you - as the "superior man" - are advised to "set the calendar in order and make the seasons clear." It's spring. Time to clear away the old, dead patterns of the past, and allow the new, vigorous growth to appear.
