Today's I Ching for Colin Powell

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 9 - Hsiao Ch'u (The Taming Power of the Small): There will be progress and success. We see dense clouds, but no rain coming from our borders in the west.
	The fourth line, divided, shows it subject possessed of sincerity. The danger of bloodshed is thereby averted, and his grounds for apprehension dismissed. There will be no mistake.
	The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 1 - Ch'ien (The Creative): That which is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and firm.
	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 Chi'en (Heaven), which represents strength and creativity.
