Flying dragon in the heavens

Back in early 1993, the Yi answered a question of mine with Hexagram 1 Qian / The Creative with the fifth line changing which changed it to Hexagram 14 Ta Yu / Possession in Great Measure.

Of the 64 hexagrams, perhaps the best to receive as an answer from the Yi would be Hexagram 1 Qian / The Creative. And of the six lines which form this hexagram, the best line is the fifth line, as nine in the fifth place means:

“Flying dragon in the heavens. It furthers one to see the great man.”

“Here the great man has attained the sphere of the heavenly beings. His influence spreads and becomes visible throughout the whole world. Everyone who sees him may count himself blessed.” [W/B]

As one fortunate enough to receive and experienced this “Flying dragon in the heavens” line, one is able to tell you the tremendous upsurge of feelings of pride and well being associated with the flurry of creative activities to learn, consult the Yi, analyze the hexagrams and lines, interpret the prognostications, summarized the findings and announced the correct predictions time and again to relatives, friends and colleagues. These predictions were often used to tie up with what Daoist immortals and deities had predicted either beforehand or thereafter.

Whenever one predicts the share market will rise or fall sharply it happened. Friends and relatives who rely on the prognostications and relayed the ‘messages’ to others became well sought after because of the high accuracy of the predictions. That was back in 1993 and early 1994.

One had also fine tuned the Pigua (twelve monthly hexagrams) sequence and one’s system for time calculations, as well as creating a table of 64 hexagrams for shares investment during this period of time. With further experience and analysis, one had been able to predict with certain accuracy what are the likely causes to forthcoming omens. Consequently my relatives, friends and colleagues listen when the Yi has something to say ever since. Surely these are “secret messages from heaven”!
