Today's I Ching for Nicholas Copernicus
The yarrow have been drawn....






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 30 - Li (Fire): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and in doing so there will be a free course and success. Let him also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows one ready to move with confused steps, but he treads at the same time reverently, and there will be no mistake. | | The second line, divided, shows its subject in his place in yellow. There will be great good fortune. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows the manner of its subject's coming. How abrupt it is, as with fire, with death, to be rejected by all! | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 18 - Ku (Decay): Great progress and success will come to him who deals properly with the situation. There will be advantage in efforts like that of crossing the great stream. Weigh well though, the events of three days before the turning point, and those to be done three days after it. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to penetration and following. |
