Today's I Ching for Mike Myers
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 9 - Hsiao Ch'u (The Taming Power of the Small): There will be progress and success. We see dense clouds, but no rain coming from our borders in the west. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject returning and pursuing his own course. What mistake should he fall into? There will be good fortune. | | The second line, undivided, shows it subject, by the attraction of the former line, returning to the proper course. There will be good fortune. | | The topmost line, undivided, shows how the rain has fallen, and the onward progress is stayed. So must we value the full accumulation of the virtue represented by the upper trigram. A wife exercising restraint, however firm and correct she may be, is in a position of peril, like the moon approaching full. If the superior man prosecutes his measures in such circumstances, there will be evil. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 39 - Chien (Obstruction): Advantage will be found in the southwest, and the contrary in the northeast. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. With firmness and correctness, there will be good fortune. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
