Today's I Ching for Ulysses S. Grant

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 35 - Chin (Progress): We see a prince who secures the tranquility of the people, and is presented on that account with numerous horses by the king. Three times in a day he is received at interviews.
	The second line, divided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing, and yet of being sorrowful. If he be firm and correct, there will be good fortune. He will receive this great blessing from his grandmother.
	The third line, divided, shows its subject trusted by all around him. All occasion for repentance will disappear.
	The topmost line, undivided, show one advancing his horns. But he only uses them to punish the rebellious people of his own city. The position is perilous, but there will be good fortune. Yet however firm and correct he may be, there will be occasion for regret.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 32 - Heng (Duration): Successful progress and no error is indicated, but the advantage will come from being firm and correct. Any movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to penetration and following.
