Today's I Ching for Frederick II

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 32 - Heng (Duration): Successful progress and no error is indicated, but the advantage will come from being firm and correct. Any movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
	The third line, undivided, shows one who does not continuously maintain his virtue. There are those who will impute this to him as a disgrace. However firm he may be, there will be ground for regret.
	The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 40 - Hsieh (Deliverance): Advantage will be found in the southwest. If no further operations are called for, there will be good fortune in returning to the old conditions. If some operations are called for, there will be good fortune in the early conduct of them.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chen (Thunder), which represents movement, initiative, and action.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to danger and the unknown.
