like it is my personal tradition, the I ching for today, the mini vacation, well concert tonight, but I will arrive early and spend the day in the city, might also meet some aquaintances, but it is still up in the air. Anyway so for today my I ching
"T'ung Jên / Social Mechanism
Heaven reflects the Flame of clarity:
The Superior Person analyzes the various levels and working parts of the social structure, and uses them to advantage.
Success if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is a matter of Positioning -- not only yourself, but others as well.
There are niches to be filled, potentials to be realized, right livelihoods to be found.
You are not building a new organization, but shoring up an existing infrastructure.
It's worth the effort, because it will provide union, community, and an ironclad alliance."
changing lines He greets them cordially, but from a high vantage point with secreted weapons close at hand.
His mistrust will slowly dissipate and good fortune will return."
transformed hex
"Chia Jên / Family Duties
Warming Air Currents rise and spread from the Hearthfire:
The Superior Person weighs his words carefully and is consistent in his behavior.
Be as faithful as a good wife.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
One in this situation must be keenly aware of his influence on others.
Maintain a healthy respect for the ripple effect of your words and deeds.
To some you serve as a role model.
You can either help shape their world or tilt them into chaos.
Show temperance and consideration to all."
Tarot: Temperance (fitting for a theatre evening and I am a Sag, Temperance is the card of Sag), I want a clarifier though
7 of cups - The world (twice!) - 3 of wands
Hmm, not sure what to make of this, I mean 7 of cups could just be about delusions, or drinking too much? Or various options? Who knows?
My angel cards for today
Express your love: Go ahead and make the romantic gesture Passion: Allow your heart and soul to sing with joy
I also pulled an "overall - advice" and got: Trust - The situation is calling for you to have faith
Well we will see. Well the cards aare a bit too romantic for the occasion, but I guess it could have been worse. lol

I have a question lumina , I find I Ching quite difficult to decipher. In terms of how your concert will go - is it telling you how it will go or giving you advice eg "be faithful as a good wife" what does that actually saying?

vg usually for me it's quite literal. And often Not every sentencematches but Just Something Standing Out. Also the transformed Hex seems to BE a Hit or Miss. I would Put more emphasiz on the First one.

vgThe ichings were both fitting today. And for giggles, someone literally Said tonight: "I have parental/Family duties tonight." (As explanation why they couldn't stay longer, Not that they even had to explain this, but they did) Anyway, that IS how the iching works for me.

vg usually for me it's quite literal. And often Not every sentencematches but Just Something Standing Out. Yes, agreed. Something stands out and resonates. You get attracted to it intuitively. I asked the question, What could be the key message from my research? I got - 11 - People in harmony "People create harmony with one another where they are of like mind and find common cause. They come out from the walls of their villages to forge alliances in the wild country – that is, they seek out common ground where they can meet, beyond the familiar boundaries that usually define the limits of 'people like us'. This means radically expanding the whole idea of who 'we' are. Such fellowship is usually created between people – but it can also take place within an individual, for instance between inner selves, or between apparently unrelated traditions and ways of knowing. There is harmony when these are brought together in inner conversation to create strong alliances." What stood out to me was how groups can (read women farmers) forge new identities and alliances for a common cause. The enables them to work together in ways unimagined previously. It was a very good fit for what I was assessing.

lumina , what would not having changing lines indicate? I am not sure, maybe that this is a situation that is somehow stable? At least for the time it takes place. Like something that is rather "set". Interesting you got the same hexagram, though.

Interesting you got the same hexagram, though. Yes! But I used the site "iching with clarity" and their interpretation was oddly more suited to my question. in my reading, 11 changed to 49 - Radical Change - which indicates the complete overthrow of old ways of understanding and ordering life. This again fits the meaning from 11. The alliances result in radical change.

Nice lumina . It knows Please come back and compare the experience with the prediction? I asked for general advice for today. "SITUATION ANALYSIS: The subject of this hexagram discovers a key to Tranquility by first gaining insight into his own nature, then turning that vision outward. By resolving inner conflicts and being at peace with himself, he learns to gain insight into others. In effect, he enters another, sees with the other's eyes, listens with the other's ears, feels with the other's heart. He then returns to his own center, with new perspective and understanding." So the general advice is, I'm supposed to possess someone and test that out, then return to my home body. They make it sound easier than it is.

AvaIt IS 61- inner truth right? I Love that one! 😍 To me it IS the perfect If empathy, really getting to the heart of Matters or a Person, deepest possible understanding while maintaining a sense of self, Not getting lost in the experience. I also pulled Tarot, several Times, so IT does Not Count, however everytime the question even tentatively related to P, the King of wands came Up. Every single time. Lol Well the King of wands IS representing firesigns, esp. Leo and Sag I think. So IT seems to fit. Still repeatedly Same cards make me nervous. Lol

I asked a question, yet again, about my research just as an article is going to be published in an academic journal.
I asked what effect it would have in the state which I am investigating. I was cheered to see Hexagram 16, Enthusiasm, for both hexagrams.

I liked mine for today:
Cast Hexagram:
34 - Thirty-Four Ta Chuang / Awesome Power
Thunder fills the Heavens with its awful roar, not out of pride, but with integrity; if it did less, it would not be Thunder: Because of his Great Power, the Superior Person takes pains not to overstep his position, so that he will not seem intimidating or threatening to the Established Order.
Opportunity will arise along this course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS: The Awesome Power available in this hexagram stems from what the Taoists call your Te, a term not perfectly translated into English. Roughly, it is your Integrity -- not in the Western sense of honor -- but more in the psychological definition of a full integration of Who You Are. This Awesome Power is achieved only by fully embracing both the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, the masculine and the feminine -- all polarities within you. Such self-knowledge spawns a Mastery tempered with the humility necessary to rein in and harness this Awesome Power.
===
Transformed Hexagram
32 - Thirty-Two Hêng / Durability
Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind. Close companions in any storm: The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course.
Such constancy deserves success.
SITUATION ANALYSIS: Endurance is the key to success in this situation. However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity. True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core. Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance? Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist? Then you will endure to reach your goal.

So I got inspired to cast mine, not for a specific event, but just generally for what this week is going to bring to me "Ching / The Well Deep Waters Penetrated and drawn to the surface: The Superior Person refreshes the people with constant encouragement to help one another. Encampments, settlements, walled cities, whole empires may rise and fall, yet the Well at the center endures, never drying to dust, never overflowing. It served those before and will serve those after. Again and again you may draw from the Well, but if the bucket breaks or the rope is too short there will be misfortune. SITUATION ANALYSIS: There is a Source common to us all. Jung named it the Collective Unconscious. Others hail it as God within. Inside each of us are dreamlike symbols and archetypes, emotions and instincts that we share with every other human being. When we feel a lonely separateness from others, it is not because this Well within has dried up, but because we have lost the means to reach its waters. You need to reclaim the tools necessary to penetrate to the depths of your fellows. Then the bonds you build will be as timeless and inexhaustible as the Well that nourishes them." changing lines "Hexagram Forty-Eight/Line Four: The well is carefully retiled, and in time made pure again." Finally a nice changing line.

Thanks @astrokeen I love Enthusiasm for your project. I hope your hard work pays off and you can enjoy whatever comes of it. Ava I think it is one of the most postive and encouraging ones there is. I thought so, too, when I read that. It matches my headspace yesterday during the sun-Venus conjunction. Finally a nice changing line. That is funny! Does the overall reading apply?

for today
Ting / The Caldron
Fire rises hot and bright from the Wood beneath the sacrificial caldron:
The Superior Person positions himself correctly within the flow of Cosmic forces.
Supreme Accomplishment.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos.
Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law.
Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao.
You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.
changing lines
Hexagram Fifty/Line Two:
Your caldron contains a hearty meal with plenty to go around.
Your rivals are jealous of your ability to provide, but they can't harm you.
Good fortune.
