Today's I Ching for Frederick II

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 27 - I (Providing Nourishment): With firm correctness there will be good fortune. We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment.
	The third line, divided, shows one acting contrary to the method of nourishing. However firm he may be, there will be evil. For ten years let him not take any action, for it will not be in any way advantageous.
	The situation is evolving slowly, 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 Ken (Mountain), which represents stillness and obstruction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to brightness and warmth.
