Today's I Ching for Jon Stewart
The yarrow have been drawn....






| The present is embodied in Hexagram 33 - Tun (Retreat): Successful progress is indicated, but to a small extent it will still be advantageous to be firm and correct. | | The second line, divided, shows its subject holding his purpose fast, as if by a thong made from the hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken. | | The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune, but a small man cannot attain to this. | | The sixth line, undivided, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect. | | The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. | 





| The future is embodied in Hexagram 48 - Ching (The Well): We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil. |  | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to danger and the unknown. |  | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Ken (Mountain), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, stillness and obstruction are giving way to penetration and following. |
