Today's I Ching for Charles de Gaulle
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present 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 second line, undivided, shows a well from which by a hole the water escapes and flows away to the shrimps and such small creatures among the grass, or one the water of which leaks away from a broken basket. | | The fourth line, divided, shows a well, the lining of which is well laid. There will be no error. | | The topmost line, divided, shows the water from the well brought to the top, which is not allowed to be covered. This suggests the idea of sincerity. There will be great good fortune. | | The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 33 - Tun (Retreat): Successful progress is indicated, but to a small extent it will still be advantageous to be firm and correct. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to strength and creativity. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
