A recent post was about hexagram 23, a number that appeared on the tail of a plane in this cartoon, which pretty much says it all.
This evening, on MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donald show, he spoke with a writer who explained that masks had become a symbol of masculinity. Among men who don’t wear masks, are, well, the real men. The patriarchy. The men who wear masks are weaklings.
Masks. Masks that may save your life and those of others has become a symbol of the yang energy. But hexagram 23, says:
“The lines of the hexagram present the image of a house, the top line being the roof, and because the roof is being shattered the house collapses. The hexagram belongs to the ninth month (October – November) and is about to supplant the yang power altogether.”
If the yang power – the patriarch – collapses, then the yin – the matriarch – will rise in its ashes. What might that mean?
Look to countries led by women:
Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Prime Minister of Denmark
Yingluck Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand
Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, President of Argentina
Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil
Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia
Sheik Hasina Wajed, Prime Minister of Bangladesh
Johanna Sigurdardottir, Prime Minister of Iceland
Laura Chinchilla, President of Costa Rica
Tarja Halonen, President of Finland
Dalia Grybauskaite, President of Lithuania
Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago
Look at the women now in congress: https://cawp.rutgers.edu/women-us-congress-2020
Google female leaders.
The yin is rising.
I think we have a good president/ Vice President team with a strong woman to take on anything when Biden wins. (Thinking positive).
Yin Is Rising sounds like a great book title.
Why is there so much patriarchy here? It makes no sense that we should be technologically advanced but socially primitive.
I just now saw your comment, Cheryl!
