If it crosses Cuba, the mountains there could do the same. If it doesn\u2019t hit either of these islands and remains over the very warm water, then it\u2019s expected to intensify. \u00a0Lots of ifs here.<\/p>\n<p>Rob and Megan are in Minnesota and due back Wednesday night. My friend <a href=\"https:\/\/themysticalunderground.com\/?p=2362\">Nancy Pickard <\/a>is visiting and is due to return home on Friday. So with all this in mind, I decided to consult the I Ching \u2013 a good test for divination. My question: Is Irene going to hit us?<\/p>\n<p>I used this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ichingonline.net\/\">site<\/a> to ask the question, which I have used before and is often uncannily accurate. I got hexagram 2, The Receptive, with no changing lines. \u00a0My heart sort of sank when I saw the word <em>receptive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cApplied to human affairs, therefore, what the hexagram indicates is action in conformity with the situation. The person in question is not in an independent position, but is acting as an assistant. This means that he must achieve something. It is not his task to try to lead &#8211; that would only make him lose the way &#8211; but to let himself be led. If he knows how to meet fate with an attitude of acceptance, he is sure to find the right guidance. The superior man lets himself be guided; he does not go ahead blindly, but learns from the situation what is demanded of him and then follows this intimation from fate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I asked Nancy, who is something of an expert on the I Ching, what she thought. \u201cIt could just mean you should be receptive to whatever comes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>I told her my question was to the point: Is Irene going to hit us? \u00a0\u201cHmm,\u201d she murmured. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t look took good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Time to buy ice.<\/p>\n<p>PS\u00a0 The 11 PM forecast shows a track farther to the east! keep moving east, baby!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/irene1.gif?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4005\" title=\"irene1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/irene1.gif?resize=300%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/irene1.gif?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themysticalunderground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/irene1.gif?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As of tonight, Sunday evening, Tropical Storm Irene is expected to become a hurricane by Monday morning. \u00a0South Florida is not only within the cone of error, but the present track has the storm crossing into South Florida as &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/themysticalunderground.com\/?p=3998\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[429,56,215],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hurricanes","category-i-ching","category-synchronicity"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
