This may only interest those anons that are I Chingfags.
I’ve been consulting the I Ching for decades for personal stuff, but decided to consult it about the election.
The question I asked was: What will happen after the election if Donald Trump wins?
Yes/No question aren’t appropriate for various reasons.
The answer I received was Hexagram 47 with a changing line in the 5th place. The changing line creates a new hexagram. The initial hexagram addresses the current situation. The changing hexagram addresses the new situation that results from the changing line.
I initially read the answer using the Wilhelm/Baynes “The I Ching Or The Book Of Changes, then also read the Jack M. Balkin’s “The Laws of Change: I Ching And The Philosophy Of Life” version, then the Myles Seabrook’s “Twelve Channels Of The I Ching” as it gives a snapshot that addresses an interpretation for 12 different aspects of life.
Hexagram 47 is called “Oppression”. Apt for the current situation, no?
For purposes of brevity I took pics of “The Judgement”, “The Image”, and the fifth line. Pretty self-explanatory even with the symbology in the text.
There is also a pic of the 12 Channel version along with the changing line.
The new hexagram that is created by the changing is Hexagram 40 which is called……Deliverance in the Wilhelm/Baynes version and “Relief” in the Myles Seabrook version.
Didn't bother asking about a Dim win. Not necessary imo.
