Walter Cronkite -- Still At Work?
Breakthrough 43 came on June 26 and July 15 -- have a look. It is today's hexagram, too. It means conflict between good and evil and requires fortitude and diligence to defeat the evil tyrant in the sixth place. It recommends speaking in public like a court room to make the truth known. It also recommends for the rich at the top to dispense wealth downward just as rain falls from the heavens. It is the inverse of Splitting Apart 23 where darkness and evil mount up to drive out the remaining light bringing ruin to all but those at the top. Here the good mounts up from below to drive out the evil at the top which brings good fortune.
The first line, as is often the case, means the toes. At the beginning of the time yet not central it doesn't usually have good fortune. When the first line changes it usually means acting too soon -- that is the meaning here. Just as yesterday, this line indicates that the time for action has not arrived yet. Unlike yesterday, there is no indication that obstacles will be removed, only the warning to stop before acting too soon.
Preponderance of the Great 28 results. It means a flood -- the Lake risen above the Trees. It also means care for the dead. (This is a meaning that can be found in standard I Ching translations but is seldom emphasized -- I choose to because it is easy and effective -- it is such a valuable suggestion I hope you will try it -- light a candle, put out some flowers, a glass of water and ask your ancestors to help you.) Walter Cronkite hasn't given up work just because he has passed. And while this link is intended to be humorous, my intention is serious.
