2021 Forecast I Ching Horoscopes

Pisces 

Your 2021 trigrams are Li (Fire) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Shih Ho or Biting Through. If there is an old quarrel or dispute, 2021 is when this can be resolved. Next year for you is all about achieving harmony within you and with those around you, but it will not be easy. Fire, Thunder (electricity?) and water do not mix well. Chen is called the arousing thunder because it signals a time of change. Li is the clinging fire and you may clinging to attitudes that are not helpful and need to change. But this hexagram is balanced (3 Yin lines 3 yang lines) so finding the balance and the justice you need is possible. But you need to ‘bite through’ the attitudes that are the obstacles to you achieving this. Li is showing you the path to knowledge. Chen is indicating an improvement in a situation is possible. 2021 needs your gentle compassionate wisdom. Curb your desire to escape reality or to see yourself as the victim of circumstance. 

Aries 

Your 2021 trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Tui and the hexagram is called Tui or The Joyous. As a fire sign you might think all the water is not going to help but this hexagram is more yang (fiery energy) than yin so it is more in tune with you than you might think. If you are tempted to think ‘I will be happy when…’ you need to be honest about what is stopping you from being happy NOW. 2021 is the year when choosing to be happy will bring huge rewards. Tui is all about purity, innocence and joy. It is about having the open curious attitude of a child approaching everything and everyone with no expectation or pre-conceived ideas. The hexagram is all about contended joyousness which can be defined as finding inner harmony by letting go of desire. Tui rules spirituality. This indicates 2021 will be a good year for you to explore that side of yourself – a journey which almost always increases self knowledge. 2021 needs your honesty and passion and for you to curb your impatience. 

Taurus 

Your 2021 Trigrams are Li (fire) over Tui (lake) and the hexagram is called K’uei or Opposition. As an earth sign these fiery and watery trigrams may make you feel everything is working against you. But that would be to misunderstand things and misunderstanding is the other meaning if this hexagram. Infact with the right approach 2021 could be the year when things really start to turn for you. But you need to be prepared for some changes and not let insecurity drag you down. This hexagram is slightly more yang than yin and you can think of it as giving you a boost. But you need to keep this mantra in. mind. Fate is not against you – however much it might feel like it. So, don’t give in to worry. The yang energy is creative, dynamic but creation always comes with some pain and needs patience but that plays to your strengths. Li rules intelligent creative people – wise people who can show others the way. The fire of Li can be a beacon that draws others to you. Tui is about pleasure and attraction and a reminder that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Gemini  

Your 2021 trigrams are K’an (water) over Tui (Lake) and the hexagram is called Chieh or Limitation. As a mutable air sign limits are not something you readily accept. 2021 is the year when imposing limits on yourself will be useful. To achieve your goals you have to accept the limits of the thoughts and actions that will take your closer to your goal whilst letting go of any resistance or reluctance to change or let go of things, people, attitudes that are holding you back. K’an rules the ears and you are being asked to listen with an open mind. Tui rules the mouth and you are being asked to think before you speak. This hexagram is evenly balanced between yin and yang and getting the balance right between listening and speaking will be important. You also need to get the balance right between work and play. K’an is a warning that the wrong approach may be a trap. But Tui is all about joy and music and pleasure. You may well find pleasure in unexpected things in 2021. 

Cancer  

Your 2021 trigrams are K’an (Water) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Chun or difficulty at the beginning. 2021 is a year when you need to resist the temptation to let your pessimistic side rule the roost. Chen is called the arousing thunder, causing turbulence and like a crab you may well feel the easiest thing is to scuttle away or retreat into your safe shell. That attitude would be wrong. Although things may start stormy don’t give up. Crabs are tenacious and can survive a LOT. Those trigrams are both very active, almost disruptive but the hexagram is more yin (earth calming) than yang (fiery creative). Acting at the right time is the key to keeping going in 2021. Acting at the wrong time could lead you into K’an’s trap. But mainly go with the flow – the disruption won’t last, you will get through in one piece . Sometimes things just happen and the world isn’t out to get you. Harmony will be restored. 

Leo 

Your 2021 trigrams are Li (Fire) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Lu or the wanderer. Li the clinging fire fits well with your fiery sign and plays to your strengths. Ken is highlighting your weaknesses. This hexagram is equally balanced between yin and yang so 2021 is a year when you need to keep both sides of your personality in balance – the creative, passionate side and the stubborn side that can tend to laziness. 2021 could be a year when you wander through an inner world of self discovery and self development. But don’t give into arrogance or become inflexible. Ken is inviting you to be still, indulge in some introspection but Li is asking you to use your eyes and intelligence –  understand the true lessons you need to learn and this includes following your heart and inner wisdom. In the stillness you can find clarity – silence your ego and let the wisdom of the Universe guide you on your journey. 

Virgo 

Your 2021 Trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called (of course) Ken or keeping still – something mountains do very naturally! Ken is all about stillness, inner poise, introspection but can also be about stubbornness, brutal honesty, and maybe even a touch of meanness. You are a doer – practical, down to earth, not given to emotional outbursts – but that does not mean you do not have emotions. 2021 is a year when you need to detach from emotions and not let them stop you thinking clearly. You can be very self critical but just because you think something does not mean it is true. Ken is telling you to still what Chinese philosophy calls ‘the thinking of the heart’ – that can leave you mired in emotions which arise from completely incorrect assessments of how you are doing.  The hexagram is more yin (receptive) than yang (creative). You need to be still to receive the correct information from that logical brain. 2021 is also a year when doing less for others will be important so you have time to spend on yourself. Self care is never selfish and the feeling that is IS selfish is one of your muddled heart thoughts you need to realise is wrong. 

Libra 

Your 2021 hexagrams are Ken (Mountain) over K’un (Earth ) and the hexagram is called Po or Splitting apart. This hexagram is almost pure yin with one yang line at the top. This hexagram fits well with your nature and you risk ‘splitting apart’ if you forget that going with the flow has huge advantages. K’un underpins this hexagram with the need to be receptive, maybe even docile. Ken is about stillness, reflection and spiritual growth. 2021 may see you faced with confrontations – situations that you feel need you to play peacemaker or faced with potential injustice. But not every situation needs you act. Sometimes you need to walk away in your own interest so can preserve your energy for other things and people including yourself. You can’t fix the world problems but don’t lose faith on the power of small actions to have a big impact. 

Scorpio 

Your 2021 hexagrams are Ken (Mountain) over Ken (Mountain) and the hexagram is called Ken or keeping still. Keeping still is not really in your nature but the stillness this hexagram is encouraging you to find is in the heart and the emotions. Ken is all about reflection, growth, self knowledge and that needs clarity of mind. Too many emotions can muddy the waters and lead you to make bad decisions. 2021 could be a good year to give meditation a go. In 2021 you may be confronted with something that makes you feel as if you are having to climb a mountain  – metaphorically speaking. It’s hard work and takes time but with slow, steady perseverance it can be done. Ken is telling you to be persistent, to be confident in yourself and just do things one step, one moment, one breath at a time. 

Sagittarius 

Your 2021 Trigrams are Tui (Lake) over Ch’en (Thunder) and the hexagram is called Sui or Following. You are very generous, very idealistic and you like helping people. 2021 is the year when you may learn the hard truth that you can’t help people who won’t help themselves. Leading by example is something you do naturally but there may be someone you need to follow who has something important to teach you. You can learn from their example just as others can learn from you. Finding time to relax and have fun is important. Tui is telling you to make time for joy and pleasure. But Chen indicates a new start in something and a fresh perspective you need to consider. Communication will be key but think before you speak. Words are far more important than you realise and have far reaching effects. 

Capricorn 

Your 2021 trigrams are Ken (Mountain) over Chen (Thunder) and the hexagram is called I or ‘providing nourishment’ and it is a warning about what you choose to nourish – body, mind and spirit with in 2021. While food is part of this, more important is the thoughts you think, the books you read and the things you choose to watch. Chen rules ALL forms of communication especially electronic and you don’t need ME to tell you modern communication can be full of negativity and hostility. But that’s not the real world. 2021 is a good time to stop away from the computer and reconnect with the real world. Ken is about clarity of mind, reflection, meditation, stillness. This hexagram is telling you that you will need those things in 2021. Chen is all about movement, taking the initiative, taking action. But you need the clarity of mind Ken encourages to make sure you take the right actions at the right time. 

Aquarius

Your 2021 trigrams are Sun (Wind) over Sun (Wind) and the hexagram is called Sun or the gentle, the penetrating wind. Sun represents a softness and gentleness. We can’t see the wind but we can feel it and see its effects and there are subtle influences around you in 2021 and you are also subtly influencing others. Sun rules reflection and concentration both of which allow ideas and thoughts to penetrate our minds. 2021 is a year when you may need to learn some lessons. Maybe realise some of your ideas are actually wrong. Sun rules the legs, the nervous system and the respiratory system -all of which need to work together if you are physically going somewhere. Sun is encouraging you to reflect on where you want to go, not to allow nerves to get the better of you and above all to take a deep breath. Remember the wind learns to go around objects but still gets to where it needs to go.
