Here follow two Readings, the first about whether or not Trump will be President #47, and the second about whether or not the U.S. Elites are deliberately trying to collapse the United States. They are both attached below as viewable and/or downloadable pdf’s.
The first one has no changing lines and is a relatively straightforward Reading except for one remarkable coincidence, something Yi afficionados get used to, namely:
June 7th 2023 Cast: Will Trump be a viable candidate in 2024?
Aug 3rd 2023 Cast: Will Trump’s trial result in Mass Riots?
September 16th Cast: Will Trump be US President #47?
All three have one glaring thing in common: The Nuclear is #43, Breakthrough. #43 looks like this:
䷪
As you can see, it has one broken/yin line at the very top. Using William Horden’s binary counting method this Hexagram’s mathematical value is 1.* Also interestingly, this Hexagram’s traditional King Wen version commentary describes the situation thusly, first by Legge, then by Wilhelm:
Legge: Recognizing the risks involved in criminal prosecution, justice demands a resolute proof of the culprit’s guilt in the royal court. One informs one’s own city that armed force is not necessary. In this way progress is assured.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Break-through. One must resolutely make the matter known at the court of the king. It must be announced truthfully. Danger. It is necessary to notify one’s own city. It does not further to resort to arms. It furthers one to undertake something.
The top line makes the upper trigram Lake instead of Heaven. The lower trigram is Heaven. The Lake trigram is associated with beauty, pleasure and ease, but also Speech since the opening at the top resembles a mouth. The Speech in this #43 trigram expresses the Truth of Heaven within from the lower trigram (and also the second and third moving up one line at a time as one does when determining the Nuclear trigram which is also #1). So there is mucho Heaven in this Binary #1 Hexagram and the commentary intimates that one must resolutely make the matter known at the court of the King, which is the highest court in the land in any monarchy. In the U.S. situation today, that means SCOTUS, the Supreme Court of the United States.
The United States are often called ‘The Union’ in American parlance, and in this most recent Trump Query the Past Influence (using Horden’s I Ching Mathematics method) is #8 Union which instead of the Nuclear’s one yin line in the top place, features one yang line in the fifth place of Leader and indeed this Hexagram #8 has to do with strong leadership bringing a nation together leading nicely into #34 which is sometimes translated as Great Leadership. There is no Derived Hexagram created by changing lines, so here one takes the next Hexagram in the Sequence, which here is #35 following #34. #35 is one of the most positive Hexagrams in the Yi: it depicts the Sun (Fire) rising above the horizon (Earth). Interestingly, the commentary says:
“The powerful prince is honored with horses in large numbers. In a single day, he is granted audience three times’.
Considering the Nuclear #43 involves going to the highest Court, which is usually the third one in the process after beginning at the lowest Court, then going next to a Federal District Appeals Court, and finally appealing at the Supreme Court, this #35 being ‘granted audience three times’ seems remarkably apropos, not to mention this being the third Query about Trump in a row with Nuclear #43 indicating that Trump must make the truth known to the Supreme Court where this is probably all headed. The notion in most #43 commentaries is that one must be resolute in speaking truth to the highest power in the land and then all will be well rather than resorting to arms. In the case of this Query, the #35 indicates that if #34 Hexagram unchanging fulfills its essential destiny, then naturally all will turn out quite well for the ‘powerful prince’.
Meanwhile, the Query about the US Elites depicts a very different, and decidedly unfavorable, dynamic. I won’t go into it too much here, since the document speaks for itself, except to point out that basically it depicts a ‘bloody mess’ both literally and figuratively. In any case, broadly speaking it seems that according to this ancient, oriental oracle combining mathematics, symbology and chance (not to mention any confusions and prejudices of your humble host!) that Trump’s prospects are much better than the US Elites’ – whoever they are….
As always: time will tell.
* Going down from top: Line 6 = 1pt; Line 5 = 2 pts; Line 4 = 4 pts; Line 3 = 8 pts; Line 2 = 16 pts; Line 1 = 32 pts. If you add up all six lines it comes to 63 points. And all six lines yang adds up to 0 points. So there are 64 points available to be counted. A very ancient binary counting system, if you will as explained in William Horden’s I Ching Mathematics.
