The characters for 61 are 中 (something inside an enclosure) and 孚 (claws protecting offspring).Diamanda, your description of hexagram 61 as "Protection, something hidden" sounds more like hexagram 4. To me, hexagram 61 is about knowing the truth, deliberating over what needs to be done and delaying execution.
Progress like a rodent (35.4) and also aggressive progress with horns (35.6).What do we need to know about evidence that the election is rigged? 35.4.6 > 2
18: you said the answer you got for "Give me a picture of the new president of USA" is hex. 18.
I agree that the I Ching also speaks in images, not only in words.
Very soon we will all know the outcome of this election and we can re-think the casts then and learn.
42.1.2.3.5-18
Possible it's circumnavigating the question and showing the "increasing corruption" of the Clintons?
It may not be saying one way or another.
Also, a possibility for that first Bernie reading was that he would not win the presidential nomination (41) and this would lead to corruption in the following months (18)- seems like that happened!
Although the text doesn’t explicitly state a successful outcome, it provides great and smooth progress and encourages people to see it through, since after the end of the old there will definitely be a new beginning; this is the way of Nature.
Hexagram Gu doesn’t possess the virtue of persistence, signifying that preservation is not a subject in the world of Gu and one must remove all that is not righteous.
(...)
In addition to the long-standing bad habit or practice, Gu also refers to corruption or illness existing over a long period of time, or a conspiracy long-bred in darkness.

Very interesting question. I've been wondering about that part of 18 for a long time. I personally never witnessed it to play out as remedying corruption.
gives me an over riding feeling that Trump will actually win
I have been experimenting with asking questions from different angles, changing format at every reading, a bit of practice and exercise really. I have included the American elections in my experiment and Trump comes as the winner.
Hillary's prospects: 42 unchanging.
Trump's: 61.2 to 42.
