Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

What will happen to me today?
and received a response of:
16 Delight
The Statement of the first hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The changing lines
The first line:
Crowing delight.
Misfortune.
The third line:
Wide-eyed delight is regrettable.
If you are late
you will have regrets.
The fourth line:
Through delight, the great attains.
Do not doubt it! Friends gather
like hair in a clasp.
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
The Image of the second hexagram
Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
