Today's I Ching for Ho Chi Minh

The yarrow have been drawn....

	The present 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 first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject, when the movement approaches, looking out and around with apprehension, and afterwards smiling and talking cheerfully. There will be good fortune.
	The third line, divided, shows its subject distraught amid the startling movements going on. If those movements excite him to proper action, there will be no mistake.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject, amid the startling movements, supinely sinking deeper in the mud.
	The fifth line, divided, shows its subject going and coming amidst the startling movements of the time, and always in peril. Perhaps he will not incur loss, and find business which he can accomplish.
	The situation is changing rapidly, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 39 - Chien (Obstruction): Advantage will be found in the southwest, and the contrary in the northeast. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. With firmness and correctness, there will be good fortune.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to danger and the unknown.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to stillness and obstruction.
