A hilarious conspiracy of I Ching and Spirit Guide 1

Let me tell you about the I Ching.
This morning I got:
Quote:
Hexagram 26-2
--- - - - - --- --- 9 ---
9 at 2: The carriage loses the axle-strap. Even mishap can be a valuable part of your life. Except of course if you only see it as a cause for irritation or anger. Accept it as part of reality, or as a challenge which can make life more interesting, or as an unexpected moment of rest. As a cause for fun, for play or a break out of a rut.
So I think: Chinese new year, what a day for a swim!
I get on my bicycle halfway through town
The carriage loses the axle-strap.
My bicycle pedal axle - SNAPS
I get to haul 365lbs and a broken bicycle halfway through town to repaoir it pondering the I Ching

And the thing is..
This morning my Spirit Guide said: "Today is not a good day to swim" I went: "the Year of the Rat is about TAKING INITIATIVE, I overrule you!" Said he: "Ok, but then you pick up the tab for it, ok?"
I went "OK!"
On my bicycle he says out of nowhere as we pass the bicycle shop "Picture new pedals in a new year!"
Me: "Picture me swimming like a God in a minute."
(...)
SNAP!
"I fought the Law and the Law won" 
Actually now that my back no longer hurts, its hilarious

lol, Captain Ahab over in OTD is about to get swallowed by a white whale to make the trip to Amsterdam and I couldn't help but associate the imagery with foreboding, but I avoided saying anything on the pretense of avoiding drama.
The Gua (I-Ching) associated with this decanate according to at least one scholar, stresses movement without pretension. So I'm going to go back and say "What possibly could go wrong if Capt. Ahab has to be swallowed by a white whale to make the trip to Amsterdam?"

It would be a feather in your cap I think if we correlated 'It's not a good day to go swimming due to mechanical failures' with 'It's not a good day to go flying' what with you being a Captain of sorts.
