I had a look at the site
I Ching Online, and I asked two different questions over
two different days. I'm not sure of the validity of the answers as compared to the results obtained via the traditional divination techniques,
however I'll post what came up here. Both questions had to do with the upcoming December 10-12 timeframe (when the current freefall in the graph hits
it's first bump since October 7).
***I first asked
Will there be a major earthquake on December 10, 2008?. The I-Ching answer was this (honestly it doesn't all make total sense
- and it's pretty long):
26. Ta Ch'u / The Taming Power of the Great
above:
K^ en Keeping Still, Mountain
below:
Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
The Judgement
The Taming Power of the Great.
Perseverance furthers.
Not eating at home brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
The Image
Heaven within the mountain:
The image of the Taming Power of the Great.
Thus the superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity
And many deeds of the past,
In order to strengthen his character thereby.
The Lines
Nine at the beginning means:
Danger is at hand. It furthers one to desist.
Nine in the second place means:
The axletrees are taken from the wagon.
Nine in the third place means:
A good horse that follows others.
Awareness of danger,
With perseverance, furthers.
Practice chariot driving and armed defense daily.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.
23. Po / Splitting Apart
above:
K^ en Keeping Still, Mountain
below:
K'un The Receptive, Earth
The Judgement
Splitting Apart. It does not further one
To go anywhere.
The Image
The mountain rests on the earth:
The image of Splitting Apart.
Thus those above can ensure their position
Only by giving generously to those below.
***The 2nd question I asked was this:
What will be the biggest world news on December 10, 2008? The answer was obtained this morning:
46. Shêng - Pushing Upward
above:
K'un - The Receptive, Earth
below:
Sun - The Gentle, Wind
The Judgement
Pushing Upward has supreme success.
One must see the great man.
Fear not.
Departure toward the south
Brings good fortune.
The Image
Within the earth, wood grows:
The image of Pushing Upward.
Thus the superior man of devoted character
Heaps up small things
In order to achieve something high and great.
Changing Lines
Changing yin at the bottom means:
Pushing upward that meets with confidence
Brings great good fortune.
Changing yang in the second place means:
If one is sincere,
It furthers one to bring even a small offering.
No blame.
Changing yang in the third place means:
One pushes upward into an empty city.
Changing yin in the fourth place means:
The king offers him Mount Ch'i.
Good fortune. No blame.
Changing yin in the fifth place means:
Perseverance brings good fortune.
One pushes upward by steps.
Changing yin at the top means:
Pushing upward in darkness.
It furthers one
To be unremittingly persevering.
***So what would you make of this? Does it make sense, and is it even a valid I-Ching divination?
Like I said I got it of an online version.
