Today's I Ching for Rebecca Gayheart
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 11 - T'ai (Peace): We see the lesser gone and greatness come upon us. There will be good fortune, with progress and success. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, suggests the idea of grass pulled up, and bringing with it other stalks with whose roots it is connected. Advance on the part of its subject will be fortunate. | | The second line, undivided, shows one who can bear with the uncultivated, cross the Ho without a boat, not forget the distant, and have no selfish friendships. Thus does he prove himself acting in accordance with the course of the due Mean. | | The fourth line, divided, shows its subject fluttering down - not relying on his own rich resources, but calling in his neighbours. They all come not as having received warning, but in the sincerity of their hearts. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 62 - Hsiao Kuo (Preponderance of the Small): In these circumstances which it implies, there will be progress and attainment, but it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. Action may be taken in small affairs, but not in great affairs. Like the notes that come down from a bird on the wing, to descend is better than to ascend. There will, in this way, be great good fortune. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |  | 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. |
