What is the meaning of seeing a fox?
I saw a little fox roaming around the coastal village of La Jolla on June 20th, 2024, around 6:00 am, which was unusual, it intrigued my curiosity about its meaning.
Typically, a fox indicates an adaptation to change. In “The Book of Change—I Ching,” the last two hexagrams even reference a fox crossing the river.
There are numerous methods for obtaining an I Ching Reading, including 50 straws, three coins, sounds, colors, directions, and based on the time of the dates. So I completed an I Ching oracle reading based on the Plum Flower Numerical Oracle 梅花易数 . I received the top triagram 艮 mountain and bottom 巽wind, which is #18 山风蛊, with the change line 1.
#18山风蛊 Work on what has been spoiled. 蛊：元亨。利涉大å·ï¼Œå…ˆç”²ä¸‰æ—¥ï¼ŒåŽç”²ä¸‰æ—¥ã€‚Fundamentally prosperous. Ideal for traveling and conducting business on a specified date. It’s three days before or after solar stem jia甲.
Beginning Yin (6) line: åˆå…，干父之蛊，有åï¼Œè€ƒæ— å’Žã€‚åŽ‰ï¼Œç»ˆå‰ã€‚象曰：干父之蛊，æ„承考也。Correct and rectify what the father has spoiled; this type of son is good and has no issues, even if it is difficult at times.《Xiang-image》 aims to remedy the father’s error and revitalize the family company. The son inherited the family business, and some of the issues left by his father must be addressed; only in this way can the family business be sustained.
According to the Chinese calendar, the Chinese day count is calculated by combining 10 solar stems and 12 earthly stems for a total of 60 days. Every month is divided into three sections, each lasting ten days. The first date of the ten counts is jia甲( first of solar stem) in alphabetical order of 甲ã€ä¹™ã€ä¸™ã€ä¸ã€æˆŠã€å·±ã€åºšã€è¾›ã€å£¬ã€ç™¸ where Jia is first; the first day of the earthly stem starts with åã€ä¸‘ã€å¯…ã€å¯ã€è¾°ã€å·³ã€åˆã€æœªã€ç”³ã€é…‰ã€æˆŒã€äº¥, the combination of both heavenly and earthly stems in a total number of 60s, then repeat itself in 60 days, 60 months or 60 years. There are 6 jia甲 related combinations such as 甲å， 甲戌，甲酉，甲åˆï¼Œç”²è¾°ï¼Œç”²å¯…。 For example, June 19, 2024 （甲辰龙年 庚åˆæœˆ 甲寅日), is a 甲(Jia)寅(tiger) date, 甲寅 Jia tiger date repeats every 2 months in a year such as 2/20, 4/20, 6/19, 8/18, 10/17, and 12/16. So based on the interpretation of the 18th hexgram, if a person wants to travel, it can be 3 days after 6/19/2024 or any three days before or after the 甲jia-related dates.
Since the Beginning Yin (6) line: is a change line, then this 18山风蛊 work on what has been spoiled has changed into a new hexagram 26 山天大畜Taming power of the great。 Based on the Chinese principle of 5 elements: water, earth, wood, fire, and metal, å±± Mountain is the earth element, 天 Qian is the metal element, The earth gives birth to metal, which indicates it will take a lot of effort to the son’s part to correct his father’s mistake or ills, with conflict and challenges, and he is not benefiting or gaining personally, but for the collective all, his effort is worth it.
According to the book of Gen-key, the 18th hexagram of the I Ching represents the healing power of the mind, where humanity is healing from judgment to integrity into perfection. It appears that the father’s illness here refers to Mind over Heart in this patriarchal culture. To correct the father’s illness, one needs to correct the inner world of gossip, complaining, and worry created by the negative frequency of the mind. Understanding judgment and options is merely the mind’s responsibility to grasp the universe, but one should not identify with the opinion of right or wrong; The 18th hexgram refers to our healthy mental development between the ages of 14 and 21. The mind is reasoning, logical thinking, and attempting to comprehend the external world through internal integration; the outside world is a reflection of the inner world.
Regarding the Mind, which is a human’s mental body. People have been drawn to science, computing, technology, and, most recently, artificial intelligence because of how brilliant and powerful their minds can become. Our mental body is an auric field, or energy field, that may govern, manage, and influence our well-being. Is artificial intelligence a reflection of reality, or does it govern people’s energy fields? Where is humanity headed?
I admire this little fox for adjusting to its changing surroundings, venturing to the seashore, between neighborhoods and canyons, living a diverse lifestyle, and surviving for its species.
