Today's I Ching for W. C. Fields
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 45 - Ts'ui (Gathering Together): The king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. Then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will be conducive to good fortune, and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject in such a state that, if he be greatly fortunate, he will receive no blame. | | The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 8 - Pi (Union): There is good fortune, but let him reexamine himself. Let him divine whether his virtue be great, unremitting, and firm. If it be so, there will be no error. Those who have not rested will then come to him. With those who are too late in coming, it will be ill. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which represents docility and receptivity. |
