Today's I Ching for James Legge
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 1 - Ch'ien (The Creative): That which is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm. | | In the fifth line, undivided, we see the dragon on the wing in the sky. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. | | In the sixth (or topmost) line, undivided, we see its subject as the dragon exceeding the proper limits. There will be occasion for repentance. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine 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 Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which represents strength and creativity. |
