Today's I Ching for David Bowie
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 25 - Wu Wang (The Unexpected): Great progress and success is indicated, while there will be advantage in being firm and correct. If he or his action be not correct, he will fall into errors, and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject free from all insincerity. His advance will be accompanied with good fortune. | | The second line, divided, shows one who reaps without having ploughed, and gathers the produce of his third year's fields without having cultivated them the first year for that end. To such a one there will be advantage in whatever direction he may move. | | The third line, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is free from insincerity, as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer by finds it and carries it off, while the people in the neighbourhood have the calamity of being accused and apprehended. | | The fifth line, undivided, shows one who is free from insincerity, and yet has fallen ill. Let him not use medicine, and he will have occasion for joy in his recovery. | | The situation is changing rapidly, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 50 - Ting (The Caldron): There is an intimation of great progress and success. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to brightness and warmth. |  | 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. |
