Hi and welcome, Suresh,

In regard to your first question: #5 is an image of waiting. The time of waiting isn?t just a standstill where nothing is accomplished. Rather, it is a time of collecting ones thoughts, strengths and direction. This nourishment comes from the well (#8) which never moves from its location (I?d point to the heart or your inner truth). This means that you must go to it, seek it out within your self and then drink from it. In order to move in a productive direction in your job or career you will need this nourishment to have the kind of assurance which will assure your success. This waiting is occurring on an open plain, which means at this point, there are few complications, and this is a safe place to wait. But it furthers to be on guard against precipitate actions which could entangle you and be the cause of future weakness.

Regarding your second question: #8 is an image of holding together, as water holds within it borders to form a lake. A euphemism which comes to mind is, keeping your head together or keeping your wits. This requires greatness of spirit, consistency, and strength. There can also be an outward action which coincides with this accumulated inner force, that of cultivating friendly relations with ?feudal lords,? which in your case could mean business associates and possibly those who could offer friendly professional advise or support. This means that its important to remain receptive (#2) during this time and process. The image here is that of a strong mare who is capable of carrying heavy loads and responsibility, just as the earth carries and sustains all that dwells upon her.

Hope you find this helpful.
