steveday asked:
Perpetually alone. What affirmation or interrogation can you give me to chew on. Or a prediction of growth? Or a painful reality to come to terms with?
and received a response of:
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the first hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The changing lines
The first line:
There is harsh danger.
Gain ends.
The fourth line:
A young bull's headboard.
Great fortune.
The fifth line:
A gelded hog's teeth.
Favorable.
44 Copulating
The Statement of the second hexagram
Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
