Was I right doing so?
Some weeks ago I asked what the weather here in germany would be like this summer. It was quite cool when I asked, no idea we weer going to have a hot summer.
What I got was 34 - 2,5,6 - The power of the Great

I thought that the trigramms should give the right idea: Heaven and thunder.
Now it is hot, at times even extremely hot - we had 38 degrees last weekend .
And we've had a number of thunderstorms, some of which were really destructive.

So I'd say the prediction has turned out to be true.
But was it ok to ask the I Ching about a topic that did not really involve myself?[
Regards,
M.

Yes very good, the forecast would indeed be for hot, thundery weather with perhaps a touch of meatballs which will affect the whole country.

Ask anything you like, your only limit is your own imagination.

Thanks for responding. I wouldn't have thought the I Ching could do anything like this- I mean predict s.th. apart from one's own personal situation.
Err - "meatballs"? According to my dictionary a slang expression for "stupid person".Well, the heat can indeed make you feel numb and stupid.

Martinus, the objective weather is correlative with your subjective weather, so you are also asking about yourself.

What will the weather in Germany be like this summer?
(What will my metaphysical atmosphere be this summer?)

Haven't you had some hot chess matches or other affairs that were both creative and contended?

This is really true - I wouldn't have found that link by myself.
You're fully right - the question certainly is both "subjective" and "objective". And there were really some "hot" chess matches - and it added quite a lot to our local team's final score!
Thank you!
