Today's I Ching for David Ben Gurion
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 11 - T'ai (Peace): We see the lesser gone and greatness come upon us. There will be good fortune, with progress and success. | | The second line, undivided, shows one who can bear with the uncultivated, cross the Ho without a boat, not forget the distant, and have no selfish friendships. Thus does he prove himself acting in accordance with the course of the due Mean. | | The fourth line, divided, shows its subject fluttering down - not relying on his own rich resources, but calling in his neighbours. They all come not as having received warning, but in the sincerity of their hearts. | | The sixth line, divided, show us the city wall returned in to the moat. It is not the time to use the army. The subject of the line may, indeed, announce his orders to the people of his own city. However correct and firm he may be, he will have cause for regret. | | The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 30 - Li (Fire): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and in doing so there will be a free course and success. Let him also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to brightness and warmth. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to brightness and warmth. |
