I Ching for Anonymous
The coins have been tossed...
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 21 - Shih Ho (Biting Through): There will be successful progress, and it will be advantageous to use legal constraints. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows one gnawing the flesh dried on the bone, and getting the pledges of money and arrows. It will be advantageous to him to realise the difficulty of his task and be firm, in which case there will be good fortune. | | The sixth line, undivided, shows one wearing the cangue, and deprived of his ears. There will be evil. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 24 - Fu (Turning Point): There will be a free course and progress. He finds no one to distress him in his exits and entrances. Friends come to him, and no error is committed. He will return and repeat his proper course. In seven days comes his return. There will be advantage in whatever direction movement is made. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to docility and receptivity. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which represents movement, initiative, and action. |
