Today's I Ching for Nicholas Copernicus

The coins have been tossed...

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 11 - T'ai (Peace): We see the lesser gone and greatness come upon us. There will be good fortune, with progress and success.
	The third line, undivided, shows that, while there is no state of peace that is not liable to be disturbed, and no departure of evil men so that they shall not return, when one is firm and correct, as he realises the distresses that may arise, he will commit no error. There is no occasion for sadness at the certainty of such recurring changes, and in this mood the happiness of the present may be long enjoyed.
	The fifth line, divided, reminds us of king Ti-yi's rule about the marriage of his younger sister. By such a course there is happiness and there will be great good fortune.
	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 60 - Chieh (Limitation): There will be progress and attainment, but if the regulations prescribed be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to danger and the unknown.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into Tui (Lake). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to joy, pleasure, and attraction.
