Psychic Readings from The
Psychic Internet often feature images drawn from the
I Ching Oracle. To offer supplementary
information about these images for our clients,
and for the public, we have provided this archive
of brief articles.

The
abstract images of the I Ching Oracle (usually
called "hexagrams") symbolize all of
the related and interacting aspects of reality.
In the following excerpts from actual Psychic Readings, the images of the I Ching
are discussed.

Breakthrough
The
juxtaposition of the images of Obstruction and
Breakthrough are very interesting. Their
respective meanings may be said to reinforce each
other in a unique way. The image of Breakthrough
describes what happens after a long accumulation
of tension. Think of it as being predicated on
the idea of a dam. One can only stop up the flow
of a river up to a certain point. The waters
accumulate behind the dam for quite some time,
and the lake becomes deeper and deeper, the
weight of it growing and growing. Then, all of a
sudden, there is a break through.
In the
image of Obstruction, then, you see how your
energies are accumulated in the face of every
obstacle that is placed in your path. Naturally,
this is a very frustrating experience in many
ways. But, here again, see the larger
perspective. The forces that are involved will
ultimately find a way through the obstructions
that hold them back. Then there will be a
glorious and life-giving breakthrough in which
progress will once more be undertaken with even
more power to bring about the realization of your
goals. In fact, in the proper way of viewing the
situation, we believe that you should appreciate
obstacles as the very thing that increases your
power to accomplish what you desire. Isn’t
this what a dam is for? It is a way of harnessing
power. All of the kinetic energy of the water is
at first stopped in its tracks, but this is only
so that it can be developed and put to work in
driving the massive turbines that energize all of
our worldly projects.
Of
course, everything depends on finding the right
moment to open the sluice-gates after an
accumulation of energy. It is very important for
you to understand that the week ahead will NOT be
the time to do this. The image of Obstruction is
built on the idea of “stopping” in the
face of obstacles. As I noted above, the week
ahead is likely to present you with many
frustrations, especially in your dealings with
certain associates – probably junior
associates, or people who are younger than you in
any case. You may feel as if you’ve
absolutely “had it,” and feel a need to
do something immediately to get yourself away
from these people, and into a completely
different set of circumstances. Do NOT be led
astray by these patterns of thought and feeling.
