Today's I Ching for Pancho Villa
The coins have been tossed...
| The present 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 first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows one ready to move with confused steps, but he treads at the same time reverently, and there will be no mistake. | | The third line, undivided, show its subject in a position like that of the declining sun. Instead of playing on his instrument of earthen ware, and singing to it, he utters the groans of an old man of eighty. There will be evil. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows the manner of its subject's coming. How abrupt it is, as with fire, with death, to be rejected by all! | | The fifth line, divided, shows its subject as one with tears flowing in torrents, and groaning in sorrow. There will be good fortune. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine 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 Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to docility and receptivity. |
