Today's I Ching for Benjamin Franklin

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 37 - Chia Jen (The Family): For the regulation of the family, what is most advantageous is that the wife be firm and correct.
	The second line, divided, shows its subject taking nothing on herself, but in her central place attending to the preparation of the food. Through her firm correctness there will be good fortune.
	The third line, undivided, shows its subject treating the members of the household with stern severity. There will be occasion for repentance, there will be peril, but there will also be good fortune. If the wife and children were to be smirking and chattering, in the end there would be occasion for regret.
	The fourth line, divided, shows its subject enriching the family. There will be great good fortune.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 10 - Lu (Treading Carefully): One treads on the tail of a tiger, which does not bite him. There will be progress and success.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to strength and creativity.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
