Today's I Ching for Al Capone
The coins have been tossed...






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 26 - Ta Ch'u (The Taming Power of the Great): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct. If he does not seek to enjoy his revenues in his own family, without taking service at court, there will be good fortune. It will be advantageous for him to cross the great stream. | | The second line, undivided, shows a carriage with the strap under it removed. | | The third line, undivided, show its subject urging his way with good horses. It will be advantageous for him to realise the difficulty of his course, and to be firm and correct, exercising himself daily in his charioteering and methods of defence - then there will be advantage in whatever direction he may advance. | | The fourth line, divided, shows the young bull, yet having the piece of wood over his horns. There will be great good fortune. | | The sixth line, undivided, shows its subject as in command of the firmament of heaven. There will be progress. | | The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future 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 things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |
