Today's I Ching for Voltaire

The yarrow have been drawn....

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 50 - Ting (The Caldron): There is an intimation of great progress and success.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows the cauldron overthrown and its feet turned up, but there will be advantage in getting rid of what was bad in it. It may also show us the concubine whose position is improved by means of her son. There will be no error.
	The sixth line, undivided, show the cauldron with rings of jade. Three will be great good fortune, and all action taken will be in every way advantageous.
	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 34 - Ta Chuang (The Power of the Great): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower 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.
