Today's I Ching for Nellie McKay

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 41 - Sun (Decrease): If there is sincerity in sacrifice, there will be great good fortune, freedom from error, firmness and correctness that can be maintained, and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this sincerity in the exercise of sacrifice be employed?
	The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject suspending his own affairs, and hurrying away to help the subject of the fourth line. He will commit no error, but let him consider how far he should contribute of what is his for the other.
	The third line, divided, shows how of three men walking together, the number is diminished by one, and how one, walking, finds his friend.
	The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject giving increase to others without taking from himself. There will be no error. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. There will be advantage in every movement that shall be made. He will find ministers more than can be counted by their clans.
	The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 46 - Sheng (Pushing Upward): There will be great progress and success. Seeking to meet with the great man, its subject need have no anxiety. Advance to the south will be fortunate.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to docility and receptivity.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower 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.
