Today's I Ching for Thomas Edison
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 1 - Ch'ien (The Creative): That which is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm. | | 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 evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 43 - Kuai (Resolve): It is required that the culprit's guilt be exhibited in the royal court, along with a sincere and earnest appeal for sympathy and support, with consciousness of the peril involved in cutting off the criminal. He should also make announcement in his own city, and show that it will not be well to have recourse at once to arms. In this way there will be advantage in whatever he shall go forward to. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which represents strength and creativity. |
