Today's I Ching for George Bernard Shaw
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 38 - K'uei (Opposition): Notwithstanding the presence of opposition, in small matters there will still be success. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows that occasion for repentance will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him not seek for them - they will return of themselves. Should he meet with bad men, he will not err in communicating with them. | | In the third line, divided, we see one whose carriage is dragged back, while the oxen in it are pushed back, and he is himself subjected to the shaving of his head and the cutting off of his nose. There is no good beginning, but there will be a good end. | | The situation is shifting, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 50 - Ting (The Caldron): There is an intimation of great progress and success. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which represents brightness and warmth. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to penetration and following. |
