Temujin.ethWeekly I Ching - August 27 2023
PreambleIt feels like the pressure is on, and just when we need to rise to the occasion, exhaustion sets in. This is fated for all of us from time to time; it cannot be avoided. The Book of Changes tells us that one who lets their spirit be broken by exhaustion certainly has no success. Sometimes, all we can seek to do is to overcome a problem inwardly, in preparation to act outwardly at a more favourable time. Those who cultivate this inner approach to problem solving, without falling into m...
Temujin.ethWeekly I Ching - November 9 2025
SummaryThe reading for this week is favourable. Abundance comes naturally, and those who understand the responsibility that comes with it are best fitted to maintain it. Reach for your goals, trust the competency of friends, and enjoy this time of harmony. The I Ching specifically gives us the image of a wagon this week. My interpretation is thus: when preparing for a large task or journey, we must be ready to set out with the supplies needed to ensure success. The wagon can safely handle a h...
Temujin.ethWeekly I Ching - September 10 2023
PreambleA new dawn is here. Any turbulence or remnant darkness clears as the sun rises over the Earth, beginning a new day. This situation as described in the I Ching denotes a window of easy progress, coupled with widening clarity. It also is reminiscent of a strong, obedient individual in service of a wise ruler. It is under these conditions that great progress is made. This is a welcome change after a few weeks of cautionary readings from the Oracle. Go gently into the brightening day.Orac...

This week’s hexagram expresses a constellation of advice on the theme “holding firm”. It can be interpreted in multiple ways: holding together, holding back (restraint), and caring for others. It is presented in the image of a mountain, firm and still, with heavenly treasures hidden within.
Take this image to heart, it is true that storing power within us can sometimes be a challenge in itself. The directing mind will want to send it somewhere to the ease the pressure. Wait. There will come a time where an outlet is offered toward which this stored energy can be directed.
1st: 5,4,4 > Changing Yang
2nd: 9,4,8 > Stable Yang
3rd: 5,8,8 > Stable Yang
4th: 5,4,8 > Stable Yin
5th: 5,8,4 > Stable Yin
6th: 5,8,8 > Stable Yang
The hexagram for this week is Ta Ch’u, The Taming Power of the Great.
Above: Ken, Mountain
Below: Ch’ien, Heaven
The Taming Power of the Great. Perseverance furthers. Not eating at home brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
The echo of today’s hexagram, created by the first yang line in change, is 18, Ku. This hexagram presents an image of decay, as yin has entered into the picture from below. This is perhaps why the specific advice for the first line in change emphasises restraint. The Oracle states:
Danger is at hand. It furthers one to desist.
This tension creates the somewhat conflicting guidance between going forward (as captured in the judgement telling us it is OK to cross the great water), and holding back (described here). On balance, restraint emerges as the right path. It is much better for one to compose themself and wait for an opportunity to be offered. It may well come later this week.
Blessings to you all.
