Today's I Ching for Orson Welles

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 33 - Tun (Retreat): Successful progress is indicated, but to a small extent it will still be advantageous to be firm and correct.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows a retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.
	The second line, divided, shows its subject holding his purpose fast, as if by a thong made from the hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.
	The third line, undivided, shows one retiring but bound, to his distress and peril. If he were to deal with his binders as in nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune, but a small man cannot attain to this.
	The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in an admirable way. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.
	The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 41 - Sun (Decrease): If there is sincerity in sacrifice, there will be great good fortune, freedom from error, firmness and correctness that can be maintained, and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this sincerity in the exercise of sacrifice be employed?
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, strength and creativity 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 Tui (Lake). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
