Image
Heaven and earth unite; this is the picture of peace. The ruler arranges the order of heaven and earth for the good of the people; the wise person likewise shapes good times so they benefit everyone.
What does Peace mean?
Earth is above, heaven below. At first glance this looks upside down, but the earth sinks and heaven rises, and the two meet. Abundance is born from this meeting. In your life, too, there is a period when things go well, it is easier to get along with people and effort is rewarded. There is an exchange between what is above and what is below. Those who lead and those who are led, those who give and those who receive, understand and support each other.
A time of peace is not a time to grow lazy. Good days serve best those who know how to use them. In this period, mend relationships, strengthen your order and remember the distant tasks you have neglected. Build a shared harmony while leaving everyone in their own place. But know this as well: every plain has its slope, and every going has its return. This harmony will not last forever. When things begin to change, do not panic; enjoy the good you have and stay sincere. If you are measured and generous, the effects of this period last a long time. Just as planting seed in a fertile season is an investment in tomorrow, the bonds and order you build now will support you in harder days to come.
What to do now
Enjoy the good time, but do not neglect your order.
Love and relationships
Harmony and closeness in the relationship are strong. A good time to make plans together, introduce your families or take a step forward. Do not let happiness become ordinary; keep up the small attentions.
Work and money
Things are flowing, and collaborations are productive. Use this period to grow and to strengthen your base. Set part of your earnings aside for harder days ahead.

- Third line
