Today's I Ching for Pamela Colman Smith

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 48 - Ching (The Well): We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows a well so muddy that men will not drink of it, or an old well to which neither birds nor other creatures resort.
	The second line, undivided, shows a well from which by a hole the water escapes and flows away to the shrimps and such small creatures among the grass, or one the water of which leaks away from a broken basket.
	The third line, undivided, shows a well, which has been cleared out, but is not used. Our hearts are sorry for this, for the water might be drawn out and used. If the king were only intelligent, both he and we might receive the benefit of it.
	The fourth line, divided, shows a well, the lining of which is well laid. There will be no error.
	The fifth line, undivided, shows a clear, limpid well, the waters from whose cold spring are freely drunk.
	The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 51 - Chen (Shock): There is an intimation of ease and development. When the time of movement comes, the subject will be found looking out with apprehension, yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement, like a crash of thunder, terrifies all within a hundred li, he will be like the sincere worshipper, who is not startled into letting go his ladle and cup of sacrificial spirits.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
