Chapter 33: Hexagram Divination
The six-pointed star, also known as David's shield and King Solomon's seal, was originally a kind of Indian secret sect, and then was transmitted to the West by the Spaniards, in addition to Western witchcraft, it is more widely used in Western constellations and tarot. If the six-pointed star is taken apart, the positive triangle is a symbol of masculinity, and the reverse triangle is feminine, symbolizing harmony through the convergence of the male ** yang sexes.
In Western witchcraft, a six-pointed star array is placed under the full moon, and candles are placed on the six vertices, and the shaman stands in the middle of the six-pointed star to pray for blessings to prevent disasters and help people or things get out of frustration and pain.
Anne Yi doesn't think she needs to be in love for the time being, but she still has some expectations for career success - although she is constantly thinking about quitting.
In addition, the six-pointed star in Western horology symbolizes the sky (yang) and earth (yin) with the upper and lower vertices, and the other four points represent the constellations of wind, earth, water, and fire, which have the meaning of past, future, and power.
In this regard, the six-pointed star lacks the mountain and thunder trigrams compared to the Zhouyi Bagua of Huaguo, and the level will probably be much weaker, but it will be relatively easy to master.
Combining the hexagram with the tarot cards can also be used to solve the doubts in the mind of the diviner, if you want to know the ins and outs of the problem, and the surrounding environment can help or hinder the matter, this divination method is most suitable.
Catherine handed the 78 tarot cards in her hand to Anne and asked her to shuffle the cards at will.
Yi Annie took the cards in her hand and felt that they were indeed much thicker than ordinary playing cards, and she was afraid of damaging the antique tarot cards in her hand, so she randomly changed the order of these cards.
While Anne was cutting the cards, Catherine pulled out a cloth from a drawer and spread it on her desk.
When Anne looked at it, the cloth was printed with a six-pointed star, and the hexagonal of the six-pointed star had numbers written on it. The vertex of the triangle reads the number 1, look clockwise, and the other two corners say 2 and 3; The lower vertex of the inverted triangle is 4, the clockwise angles are 5 and 6, and the number 7 is written in the center of the hexagram.
"That's too well prepared...... "Betty glanced at the thick stack of other fabrics in Catherine's drawer, presumably some other kind of formation.
Then, according to Catherine's instructions, count from the shuffled cards to the seventh card from top to bottom, and place this card in the "1" position in the formation map. Then put the counted cards aside, and count the remaining cards from top to bottom to the seventh card, placing it in the "2" position; Then repeat the previous steps and draw the other cards and place them in positions 3-7 in the chart.
Once the cards were set, Catherine turned over the tarot cards and explained the meaning of the position in the array.
"The position of the regular triangle vertex 1 represents the problem as well as the past situation, the seven of sceptres, the reversal. The Seven of Wands of Reversal has the implication that it will not be able to continue, which means that the current situation can no longer be carried out, and there is no need to continue to persevere, and it also implies that the time has come to switch to another plan. ”
Yi Annie said: "Very good, I have already told Charlie about resigning, and now I am waiting for Charlie's reply." ”
She had only told Wang Yuxin about this matter, so at this time, Catherine and Betty felt a little incredible.
Betty wondered, "Why did you quit after only a week on the job?" Do you have any workplace problems? ”
Yi Annie shook her head: "No, I just think the work of the secret version is too dangerous......"
Catherine and Betty couldn't argue with that. Catherine knew that Anne had seen ghosts twice in one day, and thought it was dangerous. And Betty only knew that Yi Annie had been in a coma for a day to "psychic", and that was enough.
Seeing that Betty wasn't going to say anything more, Catherine continued to unpack Annenie and turned over the second card:
2 refers to the current state of the problem, the five of the Holy Grail, upright. The card of the Five of Cups represents himself in a difficult situation, although he is trying to find a way out, but he can't, because he can't effectively help himself, at this time there is some outside help to help him out of such an environment, but unfortunately he was rejected by his own inexplicable arrogance. ”
Betty looked at Anne suspiciously, "That means someone will help you now, right?" But you yourself refused? ”
Anne looked at Catherine suspiciously, "Is there one?" I really didn't notice anything. ”
Catherine pointed to the pattern on the card: "The cup in front of you is down, but the cup behind you is still there." Annie, it's up to you to find it yourself. ”
Seeing that Anne was lost in thought, Catherine turned over a third card.
"3 is the question of the future state of affairs, the seven of the Holy Grail, in the right position. The Seven of Cups is a dream card that represents a pause in a series of efforts and a time of rest to think about whether there is something missing in the present, and in a way, the appearance of this card represents the burnout that is currently occurring, and the desire to pause arises. ”
Anne asked, "So the meaning of this card is, can I really get some rest time in the future?" ”
Betty suddenly asked, "But we're talking about the effects of Anne's report this week?" ”
"Isn't it over yet, we still have four cards to be revealed." As she spoke, Catherine flipped over the next card, "4 is the corresponding strategy to solve the problem, the chariot, the square." ”
Before Catherine could explain, Anne said to herself, "I know what this card means, just be reckless!" ”
Catherine shook her head: "You are wrong, you should know that things like chariots are difficult to control, so generally this card appears to make you self-disciplined and self-controlled." It requires you to reconcile the conflict in the event and use reason to overcome fear, so that you can see the solution to the problem. You should set aside the shackles of the past and learn from it. ”
"Uh......" Anne thought for a moment, "the phrase 'Reason over fear' sounds bad! ”
Betty laughed, "yes, like Anne is about to have a terrible incident." ”
Iannie immediately wanted to cover Betty's mouth, the flag must not stand again!
Catherine ignored them and moved on to the next card.
5 refers to the state of the surrounding environment, the sword attendant, the reversal. The sword attendant in the reverse position did not foresee the change of events and was unprepared. A strong opponent who is not able to deal with for a while and a loophole in doing things. At this point, Annie, you'd better be careful this week. ”
Yi Annie nodded, and coming down from this slippery tablet seemed to explain some of the hidden dangers in this serial murder incident.
"6 is your mental attitude, the stars, the square. The key word for the stars is "hope" and may suggest a vacation or a time when you can feel unhurried and at peace. With this card comes a feeling of 'having time to think and act.' During this time, you understand that you are the connection between the subconscious mind and the tangible world. It is entirely up to you to decide what you choose to express your subconscious, so your best work or best performance comes from communicating with your subconscious mind most clearly. ”
Anne pondered, this card sounded good, but when you think about it, there is something inexplicable.
"7 is the end result of things, power, uprightness. The positive position of power indicates that you have strong energy and have the potential to turn evil into good fortune and good fortune in times of death. However, it is up to man to plan things and to succeed in heaven, and power is only reflected in the part of 'people'. Sometimes, due to various causes and coincidences, it may not be possible to achieve a satisfactory result. How the specific event will occur can only be understood in most cases according to the environment at the time. ”
After analyzing the seven cards separately, Catherine nodded: "The overall result is good, I will pass your article, in short, this issue is like this first, anyway, just try, I will help you correct the grammar error, and you can hand it in to Charlie tomorrow." ”
"Yay!" A task is accomplished, and Anne's whole body is relaxed.
Betty was dissatisfied: "Then what I asked before, can the murderer be caught?" ”
Catherine clicked on the power card in the center of the six-pointed star array: "The result of the matter is here, what I can confirm is that this matter will definitely end, but as for whether the murderer will be arrested, then this question is too specific, this is not divination." ”
"Ahh Betty listened to this explanation, but suddenly realized, "Indeed, if the murderer is killed by the police, it will be the end of the incident." ”
Catherine nodded, then looked at Iannie, "Then it's time for you to start preparing for next week's manuscript, are there any mysterious events that interest you recently?" ”
Catherine's words immediately put Yi Annie back into the weight of the delivery.
Anne shook her head: "There is nothing special about it, so just look for information in the office and write an old story, I don't want to take any more risks this week like last week." ”
"Indeed." Catherine agreed, "Okay, then get off work and be safe on the way home." ”
"Ahh Are you all off work? That's great! A male voice interjected into the conversation of the three female employees here.
Betty looked back and saw that it was the financial version of Matthew who was speaking, and saw that he was dressed in a neat suit and leather shoes, and his hair was obviously freshly oiled, and he was not messy.
"Matthew, do you still have an interview assignment?" Betty asked.
Matthew nodded: "The reporter on our page actually got the opportunity to interview with the businessman who bought the land in Changhu Park, and I was afraid that the new reporter would waste this opportunity, so I plan to help check with the past." ”
"Wow! Looks like this is going to be big news, and I'm going to tell us about it tomorrow! Betty unleashed a charming smile at Matthew.
Betty's meaning Matthew understands that most people now believe that the killer of the serial murder is in the same place that the merchant bought, so there must be questions about it in the interview. These related news may not necessarily be published on the financial page, but they are the ones that others in the news center like to see.
