Deliverance 解
Deliverance marks the moment knots come loose and relief arrives after long trouble. Now is the time to forgive, regroup, and simplify your life.
Judgment
The southwest, the simple and open road, serves you. If nothing is left to do, returning to the usual order is good. If something still needs doing, do it early and without delay.

What does Deliverance mean?
After a long stretch of tension, thunder rolls, rain falls, and the air clears. Deliverance speaks of the moment knots come undone and trouble starts to lift. The obstacle is behind you or nearly so. Now you can set down part of the weight on your shoulders. But how you use this moment of relief matters. Ground frozen all winter thaws in spring and breathes again. A similar awakening is beginning in your life. Let yourself feel this lightness.
This period asks two things of you. First, finish what is left undone, and quickly. If something still needs settling, deal with it early, without putting it off. If the problem is fully solved, there is no need to push yourself or create new complications. Go back to your simple, ordinary life. Second, forgive. Pardon the people who wronged you or made mistakes during the hard time. Holding a grudge ties the freshly loosened knot again. You may also need to free yourself from habits that drag you down and relationships that weigh on you. You cannot be truly free until you let go of what is tangled around your feet. Once you are lighter, you will see the right people come to you on their own.
What to do now
Finish what is half done right away, and forgive and let go of the rest.
Love and relationships
The tension in your relationship is starting to ease. Do not reheat old hurts and set them on the table again. Forgiving lightens you both. If a bond keeps pulling you down, it may also be time to let it go.
Work and money
A stalled project, a dispute, or a debt is being resolved. Close out the remaining tasks without wasting time. Then simplify how you work and drop unnecessary burdens. Do not get into a new tight spot.
