Today's I Ching for Alanis Morissette
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 64 - Wei Chi (Before Completion): There may be progress and success in these circumstances. We see a young fox that has nearly crossed the stream, when its tail gets immersed. There will be no advantage in any way. | | The second line, undivided, shows its subject dragging back his carriage-wheel. With firmness and correctness there will be good fortune. | | The third line, divided, shows its subject advancing, with the state of things not yet remedied, which will lead to evil. However, there will be advantage in trying to cross the great stream. | | The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject full of confidence and therefore feasting quietly. There will be no error. If he cherish this confidence, till he is like the fox who gets his head immersed, it will fail of what is right. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 62 - Hsiao Kuo (Preponderance of the Small): In these circumstances which it implies, there will be progress and attainment, but it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. Action may be taken in small affairs, but not in great affairs. Like the notes that come down from a bird on the wing, to descend is better than to ascend. There will, in this way, be great good fortune. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
