Today's I Ching for Benjamin Franklin

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 15 - Ch'ien (Modesty): There is progress and success. The superior man, being humble, will have a good issue to his undertakings.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows us the superior man who adds humility to humility. Even the great stream may be crossed with this, and there will be good fortune.
	The sixth line, divided, shows us humility that has made itself recognised. The subject of it will, with advantage, put his hosts in motion. In doing so, he will only punish his own towns and state.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 22 - Pi (Grace): He should find a free course, but there will be little advantage if he advance and take the lead.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to stillness and obstruction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to brightness and warmth.
