Coming soon

Coming soon

Next month, I’m restarting the Clarity podcast. Formerly ‘Living Change’, now just the ‘I Ching with Clarity podcast’, it’ll have a new episode each month, and every episode will discuss a real-life reading.

(Actually the next couple of episodes will come sooner than that and won’t be readings: I’m going to add the free beginners’ course to the podcast, to make it more accessible to newcomers to the I Ching. But after that, it’s one reading per month.)

This opens up a new way for you to get a reading with me for free, provided you’re happy to share it on the podcast. You can find more details, and a booking form, here.

Do not forsake those far away. Friends depart.… Continue Reading

The moon almost full

The moon almost full

Some of the Yi’s most interesting phrases come in threes. The advice not to chase what’s lost, for instance, or ‘not robbers, marital allies’. This is another of those: ‘the moon is almost full’. ‘Already rained, already come to rest.Honour the power it carries.The wife’s constancy brings danger,The moon is almost full.Noble one sets out… Continue Reading
