Another Political Yi Reading. This in response to RFK Jr intimating he may go Independent soon after being undemocratically rebuffed by the Democrat Party. I have done several Casts on RFK Jr:
- 2023-04-06 RFK JR as candidate for President 9-5 > 26 < 38
- 2023-06-5 RFK Jr Now: 35-3,4 > 52 < 39
- 2023-09-30 RFK Jr as Independent: 36-6 > 22 < 40
Of interest is that the second throw Primary was #35 and the third throw Primary is #36. That is a clear progression. Also note that the Nuclears have progressed from 38 to 39 to 40. I don’t know what the odds of these two progressions are but astronomical for sure. #52 in the second throw is Mountain above and below. It is called ‘Keeping Still.’ There is a sense of things not moving. This can be positive or negative. In any case, by staying within the DP it seems like RFK Jr felt he was going nowhere. That is classic #52.
This Cast’s #36 is one of the most overtly negative Hexagrams of the sixty four depicting Fire beneath Earth, or the Sun beneath the horizon. Dark Days, in other words. But then the way to #22 is via #43 Breakthrough (which Trump has been getting in my casts) indicating that one has to fearlessly proclaim Truth to the highest court in the land (rather than waging war), which in the US is SCOTUS or, in the case of a Presidential campaign perhaps, going directly to We The People, the ultimate sovereigns in a representative republic. So to me this is looking like: Stuck as he is now (#52), if he breaks free (#40), living up to his family lineage (#29) by proclaiming Truth (#43), he can move things forward into a more favorable, though not necessarily paradigm-busting, situation (#22). The Nuclear #40 depicts the Relief felt after a Thunderstorm and since there has been such a clear progression in the the three Readings, the Nuclear is worth paying attention to here. #36 also hints at secret intelligence, knowledge (Fire) of things hidden under the table (spook stuff, with which his family has long been entangled in many dark, mysterious and deeply tragic ways – #36 dynamic indeed).
So we shall see. It’s all a bit murky with RFK Jr. Can he move forward onto the national stage in a convincing fashion? #22 is regarded as weak, inconsequential, slightly effeminate even perhaps. But it is also beautiful, clear. There is Fire at the foot of a mountain illuminating what is on the surface. A little illumination ain’t bad. So instead of being a suppressed or hidden Light it is now a light shining on the nature of reality, a beautiful dignified mountain, the State, which also represents traditional wisdom, bedrock values, conservative transcendent principles. In the past is #29, which Daniel Hessey translates as Warriorship, and it is one of only four Hexagrams associated with a Monarch. So he has the chops in his Lineage (obviously his uncle JFK was a very consequential, if also controversial, President).
Time will tell.
