I Ching

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 7 - Shih (The Army): With firmness and correctness, and a leader of age and experience, there will be good fortune and no error.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows the host going forth according to the rules for such a movement. If these be not good, there will be evil.
	The fourth line, divided, shows the host in retreat. There is no error.
	The fifth line, divided, shows birds in the fields, which it will be advantageous to seize and destroy. In that case there will be no error. If the oldest son leads the host, and younger men idly occupy offices assigned to them, however firm and correct he may be, there will be evil.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is becoming much more powerful.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 58 - Tui (Joy): There will be progress and attainment, but it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
