Today's I Ching for Napoleon Bonaparte

The yarrow have been drawn....

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 50 - Ting (The Caldron): There is an intimation of great progress and success.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows the cauldron overthrown and its feet turned up, but there will be advantage in getting rid of what was bad in it. It may also show us the concubine whose position is improved by means of her son. There will be no error.
	The third line, undivided, shows the cauldron with the places of its ears changed. The progress of its subject is thus stopped. The fat flesh of the pheasant which is in the cauldron will not be eaten, but the genial rain will come, and the grounds for repentance will disappear. There will be good fortune in the end.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows the cauldron with its feet broken; and its contents, designed for the ruler's use, overturned and spilt. Its subject will be made to blush for shame. There will be evil.
	The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 41 - Sun (Decrease): If there is sincerity in sacrifice, there will be great good fortune, freedom from error, firmness and correctness that can be maintained, and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this sincerity in the exercise of sacrifice be employed?
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to stillness and obstruction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
