Today's I Ching for Larry Flynt
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 38 - K'uei (Opposition): Notwithstanding the presence of opposition, in small matters there will still be success. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the prevailing disunion. He meets with the good man represented by the first line, and they blend their sincere desires together. The position is one of peril, but there will be no mistake. | | The fifth line, divided, shows that occasion for repentance will disappear. With his relative and minister, he unites closely and readily as if he were biting through a piece of skin. When he goes forward with this help, what error can there be? | | The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the prevailing disunion. In the subject of the third line, he seems to see a pig bearing on its back a load of mud, or fancies there is a carriage full of ghosts. He first bends his bow against him, and afterwards unbends it, for he discovers that he is not an assailant to injure, but a near relative. Going forward, he shall meet with genial rain, and there will be good fortune. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 60 - Chieh (Limitation): There will be progress and attainment, but if the regulations prescribed be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which represents joy, pleasure, and attraction. |
