Today's I Ching for Leo Tolstoy
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 4 - Meng (Youthful Folly): There will be progress and success. I do not go and seek the youthful and inexperienced, but he comes and seeks me. When he shows the sincerity that marks the first recourse to divination, I instruct him. If he apply a second and third time, that is troublesome, and I do not instruct the troublesome. There will be advantage in being firm and correct. | | The second line, undivided, shows it subject exercising forbearance with the ignorant, in which there will be good fortune. Admitting even the goodness of women, which will also be fortunate. He may be described also as a son able to sustain the burden of his family. | | The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 23 - Po (Splitting Apart): It will not be advantageous to move in any direction whatever. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Ken (Mountain), which represents stillness and obstruction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to docility and receptivity. |
