Psychic Readings from The
Psychic Internet often feature images drawn from the
I Ching Oracle. To offer supplementary
information about these images for our clients,
and for the public, we have provided this archive
of brief articles.

The
abstract images of the I Ching Oracle (usually
called "hexagrams") symbolize all of
the related and interacting aspects of reality.
In the following excerpts from actual Psychic Readings, the images of the I Ching
are discussed.

The Family
The image
of The Family gives you the best counsel on how
to approach things. As its so-called Judgment
verse says (associated with this image from very
ancient times), “The perseverance of the
woman furthers.” And the verse from the
image of The Family that is highlighted
specifically for you says, “She should not
follow her whims. She must attend within to the
food. Perseverance brings good fortune.”
This
verse idealizes a traditional Chinese concept of
the role of women in society. Today, we are so
advanced (or, so we think) as to see that
sometimes a man should accept a feminine role,
and a woman a masculine role. This is good, and
progress means not being bound by formulas that
no longer correspond to reality as we perceive
and understand it. This presupposes that, just as
there are situations in which the man may
properly take a “masculine” initiative,
there are other times when the woman should. And
the converse is true as well. The point here, in
this Reading, is to understand that a
traditionally understood feminine role is the
better part of valor for you at this time and
under the current circumstances. This means that
you should wait for K. to take the lead in the
dance of love that is likely to take place
between the two of you. While there will surely
be other times when the opposite is true, this
particular moment is not the time to be stepping
forward and leading. And, as a great commentator
(Richard Wilhelm) has said of this verse,
“In relation to general conditions, the
counsel given here is to seek nothing by means of
force, but quietly to confine oneself to the
duties at hand.”
