Ogbè-Òdí

Overview

Open possibility enters a closed, mysterious space. Something promising is gestating and cannot be hurried; the light is present even where it is not yet visible.

Governing Influences

* Èjì Ogbè — light, new beginnings, divine potential (Ọ̀rúnmìlà / Olódùmarè) * Òdí Méjì — the womb, mystery, transformation, hidden depth (Ọya / Yemọja)

Guidance

Be patient with projects still taking shape and protect them from premature exposure.
