What will happen to me tonight concerning my next door neighbor?
and received a response of:
54 Marrying Sister
The Statement of the first hexagram
Advance: misfortune.
No place will bring gain.
The changing lines
The first line:
A younger sister marries as a secondary wife.
The lame can tread. Going is favorable.
The second line:
Blind in one eye: able to see.
Gain by a solitary person's firmness.
The fifth line:
Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage.
Her royal sleeves are not as fine
as the secondary wives'. The moon: nearly full.
Fortune.
The sixth line:
A woman carries a basket: no fruit.
A man sacrifices a ram: no blood.
No place is gainful.
12 Clogging
The Statement of the second hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder over lake:
marrying sister.
The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
