Today's I Ching for Thomas Jefferson
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 60 - Chieh (Limitation): There will be progress and attainment, but if the regulations prescribed be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard outside his door. There will be no error. | | The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 29 - K'an (Water): We see the possession of sincerity, through which the mind is penetrating. Action in accordance with this will be of high value. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which represents danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to danger and the unknown. |
