Today's I Ching for Peter O'Toole
The yarrow have been drawn....
| The present is embodied in Hexagram 48 - Ching (The Well): We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil. | | The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows a well so muddy that men will not drink of it, or an old well to which neither birds nor other creatures resort. | | The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 5 - Hsu (Waiting): With sincerity, there will be brilliant success. With firmness there will be good fortune, and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. | | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which represents danger and the unknown. | | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to strength and creativity. |
