Today's I Ching for Ray Bradbury
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 first (or lowest) line, undivided, we see the dragon lying hidden in the deep. It is not the time for active doing. | | In the second line, undivided, we see the dragon appearing in the field. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. | | In the fourth line, undivided, we see the dragon looking as if he were leaping up, but still in the deep. There will be no mistake. | | 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 changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 39 - Chien (Obstruction): Advantage will be found in the southwest, and the contrary in the northeast. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. With firmness and correctness, there will be good fortune. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
