The hexagram for this month is #43 called Eliminating. The imagery of this hexagram is Lake over Heaven a heavy cloud like a lake of moisture in the sky which is about to release as a rain storm. Like the imagery of Water Snake illustrates, when the heat of the sun sends water to the sky there is a point of over saturation and critical mass. The message of this hexagram is that when a situation, particularly a negative one, reaches a certain point of accumulated tension the best thing is to let go and eradicate the situation all together. Eradicate hexagram advises us to eliminate our hesitation and do what must be done so we can move forward again. Its a good month to ask yourself what situation or thing is holding you back and release it to let the sunlight in.
