Today's I Ching for John Cleese
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 36 - Ming I (Darkening of the Light): It will be advantageous to realize the difficulty of the position, and maintain firm correctness. | | The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject, in the condition indicated by Ming I, flying, but with drooping wings. When the superior man is revolving his going away, he may be for three days without eating. Wherever he goes, the people there may speak derisively of him. | | The third line, undivided, shows its subject, in the condition indicated by Ming I, hunting in the south, and taking the great chief of the darkness. He should not be eager to make all correct at once. | | The fourth line, divided, shows its subject just entered into the left side of the belly of the dark land. But he is able to carry out the mind appropriate in the condition indicated by Ming I, quitting the gate and courtyard of the lord of darkness. | | The fifth line, divided, shows how the count of Ki fulfilled the condition indicated by Ming I. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct. | | The sixth line, divided, shows the case where there is no light, but only obscurity. Its subject had at first ascended to the top of the sky, but his future shall be to go into the earth. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 12 - P'I (Stagnation): There is a lack of understanding between the different classes of men, and its indication is unfavorable to the firm and correct course of the superior man. We see in it greatness gone and the lesser come upon us. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to strength and creativity. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower 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. |
