Today's I Ching for George Washington

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 47 - K'un (Oppression): Despite exhaustion, there may yet be progress and success. For the firm and correct, the really great man, there will be good fortune. He will fall into no error. If he make speeches, his words cannot be made good.
	The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject proceeding very slowly to help the subject of the first line, who is straitened by the carriage adorned with metal in front of him. There will be occasion for regret, but the end will be good.
	The sixth line, divided, shows its subject straitened, as if bound with creepers, or in a high and dangerous position, and saying to himself, "If I move, I shall repent it". If he does repent of former errors, there will be good fortune in his going forward.
	The situation is shifting, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 59 - Huan (Dissolution): There will be progress and success. The king goes to his ancestral temple, and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to penetration and following.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which represents danger and the unknown.
