Today's I Ching for Colin Powell

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 60 - Chieh (Limitation): There will be progress and attainment, but if the regulations prescribed be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent.
	The second line, undivided, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard inside his gate. There will be evil.
	The third line, divided, shows its subject with no appearance of observing the proper regulations, in which case we shall see him lamenting. But there will be no one to blame but himself.
	The fourth line, divided, shows its subject quietly and naturally attentive to all regulations. There will be progress and success.
	The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 49 - Ko (Revolution): What takes place is believed in only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. In that case, occasion for repentance will disappear.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to brightness and warmth.
