I-Ching Divination On My Luck For Year 2007
Encountered books on I-Ching, or the Oracle. Inspired and hence did a simple divination using 3 20 cent coins at home. This was what i got:
Chinese:
泰:小往大来,吉,亨。
【白话】《泰卦》象征通达:这时弱小者离去,强大者到来,吉祥,亨通。
《象》曰:天地交,泰;后以财成天地之道,辅相天地之宜,以左右民。
【白话】《象辞》说:《泰卦》的卦象为乾(天)下坤(地)上,地气上升,乾气下降,为地气居于乾气之上之表象,阴阳二气一升一降,互相交合,顺畅通达;君主这时要掌握时机,善于裁节调理,以成就天地交合之道,促成天地化生万物之机宜,护佑天下百姓,使他们安居乐业。
初九,拔茅茹,以其汇,征吉。
【白话】初九,拔起了一把茅草,它们的根相连在一起,真是物以类聚,所以找它时要以其种类而识别,往前行进是吉祥的。
《象》曰:拔茅征吉,志在外也。
【白话】《象辞》说:拔起一把茅草,往前行进可获吉祥,说明有远大的志向,有在外建功立业的进取心。
九二,包荒,用冯河,不遐遗;朋亡,得尚于中行。
【白话】九二,有包容大川似的宽广胸怀,可以徒步涉过大河急流;礼贤下士,对远方的贤德之人也不遗弃;不结成小团体,不结党营私,能够辅佐公正有道德的君主。
《象》曰:“包荒”,“得尚于中行”,以光在也。
【白话】《象辞》说:“有包容大川似的宽广胸怀”,“能够辅佐公正有道德的君主”,说明自己光明正大,道德高尚。
九三,无平不陂,无往不复;艰贞无咎,勿悔恤其孚,于食有福。
【白话】九三,没有平地不变为陡坡的,没有只出去不回来的,处在艰难困苦的环境中坚守正道就没有灾害,不要怕不能取信于人,安心享用自己的俸禄是很有福分的。
《象》曰:“无往不复”,天地际也。
【白话】《象辞》说:“没有只出去而不回来的”,叶落归根,人回故乡,事物的正反两个方面往往互相转化,表明此时正在天地交合的边沿,处于变化之中。
六四,翩翩不富,以其邻不戒以孚。
【白话】六四,像飞鸟连翩下降,虚怀若谷,这样与邻居相处,不互相戒备,彼此以诚相见,讲求信用。
《象》曰:“翩翩不富”,皆失实也;“不戒以孚”,中心愿也。
【白话】《象辞》说:“像飞鸟从高处连翩下降,虚怀若谷”,说明此时不以个人的殷实富贵为念;“与邻居相处,不互相戒备,彼此以诚相见,讲求信用”,因为这是大家内心共同的意愿。
六五,帝乙归妹,以祉元吉。
【白话】六五,商代帝王乙嫁出自己的女儿,因此得到了福分,是十分吉祥的事。
《象》曰:“以祉元吉”,中以行愿也。
【白话】《象辞》说:“帝乙把女儿嫁给贤德而又富裕的人家,因此获得了深厚的福分,是在吉在利的事”,说明因为实现了长期以来心中祈求的意愿,所以结果是吉祥的。
上六,“城复于隍”;勿用师,自邑告命,贞吝。
【白话】上六,城墙倒塌在久已干涸的护城壕沟里;这时决不可进行战争,应减少繁琐的政令,以防止可能出现的土崩瓦解的局面。
《象》曰:城复于隍,其命乱也。
【白话】《象辞》说:“城墙倒塌在久已干涸的护城壕沟里”,说明形势已经向错乱不利的方面转化,其前景是不大美妙的。
Very cheem...

The Judgement
Peace. The small departs,
The great approaches.
Good fortune. Success.
The Image
Heaven and earth unite: the image of Peace.
Thus the ruler
Divides and completes the course of heaven and earth;
He furthers and regulates the gifts of heaven and earth,
And so aids the people.
The Lines
Nine at the beginning means:
When ribbon grass is pulled up, the sod comes with it.
Each according to his kind.
Undertakings bring good fortune.
() Nine in the second place means:
Bearing with the uncultured in gentleness,
Fording the river with resolution,
Not neglecting what is distant,
Not regarding one's companions:
Thus one may manage to walk in the middle.
Nine in the third place means:
No plain not followed by a slope.
No going not followed by a return.
He who remains persevering in danger
Is without blame.
Do not complain about this truth;
Enjoy the good fortune you still possess.
Six in the fourth place means:
He flutters down, not boasting of his wealth,
Together with his neighbor,
Guileless and sincere.
() Six in the fifth place means:
The sovereign I
Gives his daughter in marriage.
This brings blessing
And supreme good fortune.
Six at the top means:
The wall falls back into the moat.
Use no army now.
Make your commands known within your own town.
Perseverance brings humiliation.
Basically i guess it's good LAR.. After what has happened last year.. Haiz...
