Today's I Ching for Margaret Thatcher
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 35 - Chin (Progress): We see a prince who secures the tranquility of the people, and is presented on that account with numerous horses by the king. Three times in a day he is received at interviews. | | The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows one wishing to advance, and at the same time kept back. Let him be firm and correct, and there will be good fortune. If trust be not reposed in him, let him maintain a large and generous mind, and there will be no error. | | The second line, divided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing, and yet of being sorrowful. If he be firm and correct, there will be good fortune. He will receive this great blessing from his grandmother. | | The third line, divided, shows its subject trusted by all around him. All occasion for repentance will disappear. | | The fifth line, divided, shows how all occasion for repentance disappears from its subject. But let him not concern himself about whether he shall fail or succeed. To advance will be fortunate, and in every way advantageous. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is becoming much more powerful. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 1 - Ch'ien (The Creative): That which is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to strength and creativity. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to strength and creativity. |
