I know this is a very old post, but if you could help me find the files folder where you posted this that would be amazing! I'm looking to see the times of year that the hexagrams are correlated withHi Tom!
I'm sorry, but you mistook a little with that chart. I know nothing about Blofeld, but this chart was 'invented' (so to say) by Meng Xi that I mentioned. And it seems to me that Blofeld interpreted it rather wrong: I mean that hexagrams in 5th column are truly belong to the next month (so 40th belongs to 2nd month, or month of Rabbit, 49th - to 3rd, or month of Dragon etc.), and the whole circle begins with 61st hexagram 'The Inner Truth', first line of which begins in Winter Solstice (so Chinese solar New Year, which begins about February 4th, begins also from 4th line of 62th hexagram 'Preponderance of the Small'). These 60 hexagrams (except those in 6th column) are distributed on a year and every hexagram rules over 6 days and 7 'fen' (about 1 hour and 20 minutes), so 60 hexagrams rule over 365,25 days. And 4 main hexagrams rule over: 29th - Winter Solstice, 51st - Spring Equinox, 30th - Summer Solstice and 58th - Autumn Equinox. I published both round and 'square' charts in IChing_YiJing' yahooGroup, you can find them in 'Files' folder.
Best regards,
Peter.
