What should I focus on today? 39
I'll have to focus on clearing away obstructions.
Peace
...or focus on being obstructive - standing up against the mindless flow ;-)
In IC+ the hexgram reads "with/from self-restraint (mountain in lower) comes control (water in upper). You become an island, a refuge for others as well as self in the flow of things.
The hexagram shares space with 53 - gradual development, maturing, and is the unconditional member of the pair, 53 being conditional. (53 - with/from self-restraint comes becoming influencial (wind in top is cultivation (wind in bottom) doubled) - thus in 39 there is a sense of 'standing up to things' eliciting self-development, maturing as does sharing time with another bring out maturing relationship with them.
In five-phase the mountain trigram is a member of the Filtration phase (and so brings out mountain doubled to be discernment, quality control). Water is consumption (internal distribution) so we 'filter' the water by being obstructive just as we can use the water to get around obstructions, to bypass them. The control issue is when we USE the water we are controlling the outcome - we are never 'swept away', all is contained/controlled by our action.
At the really generic levels, water maps to contractive bounding, a boundary to hold things in/out and so protect. Mountain maps to contractive binding and so issues covering the sharing of time. Emotionally, water equates with rejection issues, mountain equates with grief issues (and so we learn to be discerning from our suffering - mountain reflects passion in a loss of a love and we use that to develop quality control. The other side of the passion coin is lake that covers the presence of love).

Thank You, Chris...
from the opposite perspective. That actually makes sense with what's going on in my
life right now!

Thanks, Chris, for the fresh perspective. I wouldn't have thought of 39

Some time ago it was evening and it had been a very busy day. Dawdling around, too tired to go to bed, which I needed a lot.
So I asked Yi what now, not even really asking, rather as another excuse to hang around. Answer: 36 - sun is down, go to bed!!
