Today's I Ching for Donald Rumsfeld

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 2 - K'un (The Receptive): That which is great and originating, advantageous, correct and having the firmness of a mare. When the superior man must move, if he takes the initiative he will go astray. If he follows, he will find his proper lord. The advantage will be seen in his getting friends in the southwest, and losing friends in the northeast. If he rest in correctness and firmness, there will be good fortune.
	In the first (or lowest) line, divided, we see its subject treading on hoarfrost. The strong ice will come by and by.
	The second line, divided, shows the attribute of being straight, square, and great. Its operation, without repeated efforts, will be in every respect advantageous.
	The fifth line, divided, shows the yellow lower garment. There will be great good fortune.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is becoming much more powerful.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 60 - Chieh (Limitation): There will be progress and attainment, but if the regulations prescribed be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to danger and the unknown.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower 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.
