Today's I Ching for Martin Luther King Jr.

The yarrow have been drawn....

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 30 - Li (Fire): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and in doing so there will be a free course and success. Let him also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune.
	The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows one ready to move with confused steps, but he treads at the same time reverently, and there will be no mistake.
	The third line, undivided, show its subject in a position like that of the declining sun. Instead of playing on his instrument of earthen ware, and singing to it, he utters the groans of an old man of eighty. There will be evil.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows the manner of its subject's coming. How abrupt it is, as with fire, with death, to be rejected by all!
	The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 23 - Po (Splitting Apart): It will not be advantageous to move in any direction whatever.
	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 Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to docility and receptivity.
