63 – Dusk – Afterwards – Water above Fire
The reflective glow of the setting sun spreads across the land announcing the end of an era. As everything is basically finished, small extraneous things may be accomplished, but more serious things will fail simply due to a lack or time or space. The dusk is the time to accept that things be completed and the work be done. Enjoy the glow, night is coming.
1st – Stopping at Dusk – He engages the brake on the wagon and will go no further. This is just as well, for if he pushed into the night, then he would have encountered bandits.
2nd – The Veil of Dusk – The veil of dusk drops and suddenly she is exposed in the moonlight. She should not be afraid, for her beauty is a natural thing and should be shared. In seven days, she can return to her families’ home. This indicates a seven day period of mating or potential power. Use it well.
3rd – Conquering the Dusk – Riding forth into the dusk with no fear of devils, he takes upon a righteous cause and devotes three years to its attainment. It will be tiresome, it will be burdensome, but it will succeed.
4th – Shopping by Dusk – One must be wary of making purchases by the glow of the setting sun, for sometimes rags will be mixed in with the silk. Be cautious, for there may be something unforeseen.
5th – The Window of Dusk – A small effort with the correct timing will gain us much more than a large effort with the incorrect timing. Observe and capture this window.
6th – The Dusk Obscures – The light had gone and he tripped over a log, getting his head wet. If he stops and makes a fire, then all shall be well. This indicates trouble, but the sort of trouble for which we know the solution.
All Six – Black Dusk - The darkest hour of the night always come right before the dawn.
