Today's I Ching for Alanis Morissette
The coins have been tossed...
| 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 second line, divided, shows one biting through the soft flesh, and going on to bite off the nose. 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 fifth line, divided, shows one gnawing at dried flesh, and finding the yellow gold. Let him be firm and correct, realising the peril of his position. There will be no error. | | The sixth line, undivided, shows one wearing the cangue, and deprived of his ears. There will be evil. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 28 - Ta Kuo (Preponderance of the Great): We see a beam that is weak. Under these conditions, there will be advantage in moving in any direction at all. There will be success. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to penetration and following. |
