Today's I Ching for Ambrose Bierce
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 19 - Lin (Approach): There will be great progress and success, while it will be advantageous to be firmly correct. In the eighth month there will be evil. | | The third line, divided, shows one well pleased to advance, but whose action will be in no way advantageous. If he becomes anxious about it, however, there will be no error. | | The fourth line, divided, shows one advancing in the highest mode. There will be no error. | | The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 34 - Ta Chuang (The Power of the Great): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to strength and creativity. |
