Today's I Ching for Marlon Brando
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 11 - T'ai (Peace): We see the lesser gone and greatness come upon us. There will be good fortune, with progress and success. | | The second line, undivided, shows one who can bear with the uncultivated, cross the Ho without a boat, not forget the distant, and have no selfish friendships. Thus does he prove himself acting in accordance with the course of the due Mean. | | The third line, undivided, shows that, while there is no state of peace that is not liable to be disturbed, and no departure of evil men so that they shall not return, when one is firm and correct, as he realises the distresses that may arise, he will commit no error. There is no occasion for sadness at the certainty of such recurring changes, and in this mood the happiness of the present may be long enjoyed. | | The fourth line, divided, shows its subject fluttering down - not relying on his own rich resources, but calling in his neighbours. They all come not as having received warning, but in the sincerity of their hearts. | | The fifth line, divided, reminds us of king Ti-yi's rule about the marriage of his younger sister. By such a course there is happiness and there will be great good fortune. | | The sixth line, divided, show us the city wall returned in to the moat. It is not the time to use the army. The subject of the line may, indeed, announce his orders to the people of his own city. However correct and firm he may be, he will have cause for regret. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 25 - Wu Wang (The Unexpected): Great progress and success is indicated, while there will be advantage in being firm and correct. If he or his action be not correct, he will fall into errors, and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to strength and creativity. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |
