Today's I Ching for Jack Kerouac
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 14 - Ta Yu (Possession in Great Measure): There will be great progress and success. | | In the first (or lowest) line, undivided, there is no approach to what is injurious, and there is no error. Let there be a realisation of the difficulty and danger of the position, and there will be no error. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject keeping his great resources under restraint. There will be no error. | | The fifth line, divided, shows the sincerity of its subject reciprocated by that of all the others represented in the hexagram. Let him display a proper majesty, and there will be good fortune. | | The topmost line, undivided, show its subject with help accorded to him from Heaven. There will be good fortune, advantage in every respect. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 48 - Ching (The Well): We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, brightness and warmth 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 Sun (Wind). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to penetration and following. |
