I decided to do another I CHing post

Ts'ui indicates the condition of union or being collected. We have in it the trigram for docile obedience going on to that for joyful satisfaction. There is a strong line in the central position, and rightly responded to. Hence comes the idea of union.
'The king will repair to his ancestral temple': with the utmost filial piety he presents his offerings to the spirits (of his ancestors).
'It will be advantageous to meet the great man, and there will then be prosperity and success': the union effected by him will be on and through what is correct.
'The use of great offerings will conduce to good fortune; and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous': all is done in accordance with the ordinances of heaven.
When we look at the way in which the gatherings here shown take place, the natural tendencies of heaven and earth and of all things can be seen.

I rolled: one tail=8, 3 tails=6, 6, 8,8, and all heads=9.

I'm so glad that I learned how to do I ching partially, because I have always wanted to and because I know that I will want to someday relate to my art in someway when I leave this school.
