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...

Hexagram 11. T'ai - Peace

-- --
-- -- above K'un The Receptive, Earth
-- --
-----
----- below Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven
-----

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...

Ice, your most unique quality is that you're unusually Conscientious

You are the kind of person others depend on. You're competent, self-disciplined, and able to carry through with any plan you create. You've just got it together. You're also good at weighing the pros and cons of any situation and making sound, well-informed decisions. Compared to others who are conscientious, you are unusually organized. Only 1.6% of all test takers have this unique combination of personality strengths.

Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male



Your brain leans female

You think with your heart, not your head

Sweet and considerate, you are a giver

But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!


And i'm gay... This is bad... very... It's untrue!

Take the quiz: "Auto Identity"

Sports Car
You like to live the high life, and dwell on admiration, and like to show your stuff. You need a car that gets second glances, goes fast, makes you look good, and is fairly new.
