I have been throwing hexagrams for a week now, and trying to understand the I Ching. I have only the barest understanding of what is going on, but even so, they have been wildly, almost frighteningly, accurate at representing what's going on in my life at the time. Today I was very pleased to throw 2. K'un, The Receptive

On the recommendation of my Doctor of Chinese Medicine, who has been studying with the I Ching for almost 30 years, I got the Thomas Cleary translation. I already have the standard Wilhelm/Baynes translation, but she said that translation is more good/evil and Western whereas the Cleary version is more neutral, and focuses more on the energies flowing through your life. But as with poetry translated from languages I don't know, I like to get a bunch of translations and triangulate towards the original intention.
