Today's I Ching for Dwight Eisenhower

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 9 - Hsiao Ch'u (The Taming Power of the Small): There will be progress and success. We see dense clouds, but no rain coming from our borders in the west.
	The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject returning and pursuing his own course. What mistake should he fall into? There will be good fortune.
	The fourth line, divided, shows it subject possessed of sincerity. The danger of bloodshed is thereby averted, and his grounds for apprehension dismissed. There will be no mistake.
	The topmost line, undivided, shows how the rain has fallen, and the onward progress is stayed. So must we value the full accumulation of the virtue represented by the upper trigram. A wife exercising restraint, however firm and correct she may be, is in a position of peril, like the moon approaching full. If the superior man prosecutes his measures in such circumstances, there will be evil.
	The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 28 - Ta Kuo (Preponderance of the Great): We see a beam that is weak. Under these conditions, there will be advantage in moving in any direction at all. There will be success.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to penetration and following.
