Today's I Ching for James Joyce

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 54 - Kuei Mei (The Marrying Maiden): The action will be evil, and in no way advantageous.
	The second line, undivided, shows here blind of one eye, and yet able to see. There will be advantage in her maintaining the firm correctness of a solitary widow.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows the younger sister who is to be married off protracting the time. She may be late in being married, but the time will come.
	The sixth line, divided, shows the young lady bearing the basket, but without anything in it, and the gentleman slaughtering the sheep, but without blood flowing from it. There will be no advantage in any way.
	The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 27 - I (Providing Nourishment): With firm correctness there will be good fortune. We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper 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.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
