clarityopennessfresh startno obstacles

A clear sky: no clouds, no obstacles. The matter is open and clean, though not much is moving yet. It is a good time to begin again from an honest, uncluttered place.

The Stainless Sky by question

Home & family
Calm and spacious, with little trouble, though someone may feel distant.
Plans & wishes
Possible, and nothing stands in the way, but it needs a clear first step.
Wealth & friends
Steady rather than growing. Friends are sincere.
Rivals & disputes
The opposition fades on its own. There is no need to strike first.
Guests & travel
The roads are clear. A visitor may come later than expected.
Health
No serious illness. Rest and fresh air restore balance.
Spiritual practice
Very good for meditation on openness and emptiness.
Lost things
Hard to trace. Look in open, high or empty places.

Advice

Keep your mind as open as the sky, and act without clutter.

Practice

Recite Manjushri's mantra and rest in open awareness.

The symbol

The open sky is a classic Tibetan image for the nature of mind: clouds of thought come and go, but the sky itself is never stained by them. A sky with no clouds at all is a sign that nothing obstructs the matter, for better and for worse: there is space, but it still has to be filled.

The two throws

The Stainless Sky comes up when the first throw of the die shows A (space) and the second shows A (space).

First: A · Space

A is the first sound of every alphabet and the syllable of open space. It stands for what is wide, clear and not yet filled: room to move, a fresh start, nothing in the way.

Second: A · Space

A is the first sound of every alphabet and the syllable of open space. It stands for what is wide, clear and not yet filled: room to move, a fresh start, nothing in the way.
