Today's I Ching for Charles Manson
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 27 - I (Providing Nourishment): With firm correctness there will be good fortune. We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, seems to be thus addressed, "You leave your efficacious tortoise, and look at me till your lower jaw hangs down". There will be evil. | | The second line, divided, shows one looking downwards for nourishment, which is contrary to what is proper, or seeking it from above, which will lead to evil. | | The third line, divided, shows one acting contrary to the method of nourishing. However firm he may be, there will be evil. For ten years let him not take any action, for it will not be in any way advantageous. | | The fourth line, divided, shows one looking downwards for the power to nourish. There will be good fortune. Looking with a tiger's downward unwavering glare, and with his desire that impels him to spring after spring, he will fall into no error. | | The fifth line, divided, shows one acting contrary to what is regular and proper, but if he abide in firmness, there will be good fortune. He should not, however, try to cross the great stream. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is becoming much more powerful. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 44 - Kou (Coming to Meet): We see a female who is bold and strong. It will not be good to marry such a female. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to strength and creativity. | | 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. |
