Today's I Ching for Oscar Wilde
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 21 - Shih Ho (Biting Through): There will be successful progress, and it will be advantageous to use legal constraints. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows one with his feet in the stocks and deprived of his toes. There will be no error. | | The third line, divided, shows one gnawing dried flesh, and meeting with what is disagreeable. There will be occasion for some small regret, but no great error. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows one gnawing the flesh dried on the bone, and getting the pledges of money and arrows. It will be advantageous to him to realise the difficulty of his task and be firm, in which case there will be good fortune. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 52 - Ken (Keeping Still): When one is resting, and he loses all consciousness of self; when he walks in his courtyard, and does not see any of the persons in it, there will be no error. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to stillness and obstruction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
