Today's I Ching for Hans Christian Andersen

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 7 - Shih (The Army): With firmness and correctness, and a leader of age and experience, there will be good fortune and no error.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows the host going forth according to the rules for such a movement. If these be not good, there will be evil.
	The topmost line, divided, show the great ruler delivering his charges, appointing some to be rulers of states, and others to undertake the headship of clans. However, small men should not be employed in such positions.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine 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 K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to stillness and obstruction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
