Today's I Ching for Donald Rumsfeld
The yarrow have been drawn....
| 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 fourth line, undivided, shows a case in which, if its subject can remain firm and correct, there will be no error. | | The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he take action. His action will not be advantageous in any way. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 3 - Chun (Difficulty at the Beginning): There will be great progress and success, and the advantage will come from being correct and firm. Any movement in advance should not be undertaken lightly. There will be advantage in appointing feudal princes or other delegates in your stead. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which represents movement, initiative, and action. |
