Today's I Ching for James Brown

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 56 - Lu (The Wanderer): There may be some little attainment and progress. If the stranger or traveler be firm and correct as he ought to be, there will be good fortune.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows the stranger mean and meanly occupied. It is thus that he brings on himself further calamity.
	The second line, divided, shows the stranger, occupying his lodging-house, carrying with him his means of livelihood, and provided with good and trusty servants.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows the traveller in a resting- place, having also the means of livelihood and the axe, but still saying, "I am not at ease in my mind".
	The fifth line, divided, shows its subject shooting a pheasant. He will lose his arrow, but in the end he will obtain praise and a high charge.
	The sixth line, undivided, suggests the idea of a bird burning its nest. The stranger, thus represented, first laughs and then cries out. He has lost his ox-like docility too readily and easily. There will be evil.
	The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 5 - Hsu (Waiting): With sincerity, there will be brilliant success. With firmness there will be good fortune, and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to danger and the unknown.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to strength and creativity.
