This reading was done on October 23, 2014, and the final and deciding game took place on October 29. The result consisted of hexagram 1, “The Creative” and hexagram 9, “The Taming Power of the Small.” From the Dictionary of the 64 Hexagrams in Chapter X, the applicable hexagram meanings are action, activity for the first hexagram and barely, slightly for the second. Therefore, the theme of the reading is “After all the activity (playing), one team will win by just one point.”

Line 4 says, “Wavering flight over the depths,” suggesting that the winner will be the traveling team. The judgment of hexagram 9 says, “Dense clouds, no rain from our western region,” promising rain (benefits) in the west. This text points to the Giants because San Francisco is in the West Coast. As it turned out, the Giants won the final game 3-2 and the Series 4-3 in Kansas City. (Note: In this reading, as in most readings in this book, the person tossing the coins was not familiar with the I Ching and the result was interpreted by the author.)
