I am also Trojina. I was hoping to know if I interpreted the reading correctly and if not, what insight someone else could give. THXThey did but on lots of other threads about the Ukraine, this one just got missed. It's a good idea if your thread sinks to the bottom of the pile to add another comment to bring it back to the top.
It is very sad news today.
I am gutted
I'm not a Diviner but find that cases like this open chances to understand the answers given by the I Ching (40.3.6 > 50 What's the probability of Russia invading Ukraine? They did !)
I don't understand why that would be about the US in particular but she is asking from her own point of view as is everyone who asks these kinds of questions.Line 6
'A prince uses this to shoot a hawk, on the top of the high ramparts.
He gets it. Nothing that does not bear fruit.'
This to me means that he will successfully drag the US into a war.
40.4 was not cast40.4. is pretty obvious now in hindsight, what 40.6. and 50 bring to mind for me personally, is Phillip K. Dick‘s novel The Man in the High Castle,
Yes, Trojina, thanks for pointing that out I meant 40.3. I had the correct text to line 40.3. in mind. Maybe 40.4 was wishful thinking, or my own unconscious telling me to innerly disengage from conflict and let loose, not try to grasp the situation ...40.4 was not cast
At 1-6 it says “亢龍有悔”. Kang 亢 is often translated as ‘pride, arrogance’, but this is just one of the many meanings. If we look at some other meanings of this character we can adjust our translation a bit:
– 高 – high
– 舉- rise, go up
– 極,太過 – too (much)
– 強硬; 剛強 – strong, inflexible
– 遮蔽; 庇護- out of sight, hide
If we combine this with our dragon from 1-6 we get the picture of a dragon who without stopping goes up and up, and disappears out of sight (it is nice how sometimes all these meanings can be combined) . This is not an arrogant dragon,but a reckless dragon: a Chinese Icarus who overestimates his own powers and thereby will have hui 悔. Hui 悔 can mean
– 悔恨; 后悔 – regret, repentance
– 悔過; 改過 – correct your mistakes out of repentance
– 災咎; 災禍 – unavoidable misfortune
– 《易》卦有六爻,其上體即上三爻稱 “悔”,又稱外卦 – upper/outside trigram of a hexagram
If we stick to the image of Icarus, then I think the third meaning fits best. If you do not know your limits, or do not accept them, you will have unavoidable misfortune. Not from arrogance, but from recklessness. It are often the kind people, and not the arrogant people, who have to learn their lessons like this.

I will not go into the interpretation of the hexes, but share, imho, a very simple and kinda intuitive insight I got after reflecting a little bit more on how you stated your question and how ICHING answered. You asked about probabilities and line 3 and 6 are the highest of each trigram. While the 1-4 pair (lines) seems to initiates the vibrational tension (low probability), the 2-5 combination sustains it through (medium). At this moment in time there are maybe still good chances to affect the outcome with change, but it will take up more energy. But when the 3-6 combination arrives, its of course over. There is the settling point, the decay starts, the end, where high probability sets in and things have gone past the point of return. To die (become rigid, certainty) or change (adapt flexible, uncertainty). So in few words, 1-4 Kansas. 2-5 Flying. 3-6 Not in Kansas anymore. Now decide if you want to accept change or not. Well phrased question, ScorpioC., thank you.Every once in awhile I will ask something like this.
Line 3
'Shouldering a burden while also riding in a carriage
Invites the arrival of bandits.
Constancy, shame.'
This to me means that Putin has used his propaganda within to the point he couldn't "back down" if he wanted to. He's stirred up a frenzy inside Russia where he's made his country men believe Russia is the one being "attacked."
Line 6
'A prince uses this to shoot a hawk, on the top of the high ramparts.
He gets it. Nothing that does not bear fruit.'
This to me means that he will successfully drag the US into a war.
Any thoughts?
