Today's I Ching for Meyer Lansky
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 35 - Chin (Progress): We see a prince who secures the tranquility of the people, and is presented on that account with numerous horses by the king. Three times in a day he is received at interviews. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing, but like a marmot. However firm and correct he may be, the position is one of peril. | | The fifth line, divided, shows how all occasion for repentance disappears from its subject. But let him not concern himself about whether he shall fail or succeed. To advance will be fortunate, and in every way advantageous. | | 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 20 - Kuan (Contemplation): He should be like the worshipper who has washed his hands, but not yet presented his offerings. There must be sincerity and an appearance of dignity, commanding reverent regard. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to penetration and following. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which represents docility and receptivity. |
