The Aspect Shapes and their Movements within the I Ching

 

We see here the 64 aspect shapes of the I Ching…..4 Grand Trines at the corners which can move in any direction and meet another Grand Trine they pair up with Lecturers 18 which can also move in all directions…..then we have 12 Alternators which move in only two directions in order to meet another that is up or across……Ruminators we have 6 and Workers we have six and they move North West to South East diagonally and up, down left and right both working in the same way….Teachers 6 and Magicians 6 move North East to South West and up, down, left or right in the same way as each other…..and finally we have the top row of Thinkers which only move in one direction East to West or left and right…….its beginning to feel a little like Chess with the Castles in each corner and the other parts only being able to move in particular ways. Like Chess pieces they are restricted in their movements and must operate in the way they have been given. Enjoy your thinking x
