What will happen, if I go to buy trousers one size larger this week?
and received a response of:
4 Youth
The Statement of the first hexagram
A youth must be steadfast.
I do not seek the naive youth.
The naive youth seeks me.
At the first divination, I explain,
but after three times, it is irritating.
Annoyed, I explain no further.
Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
The changing lines
The first line:
While penalties are useful to illuminate
the naive youth, take off the fetters-
to go too far leads to sorrow.
The second line:
To have the joy of holding your own child,
take a wife. It will lead to fortune:
your children will lead the family.
The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman
who loses herself when she sees
a golden man.
The fourth line:
A distressed and naive youth:
sorrow.
30 Brilliance
The Statement of the second hexagram
Brilliance. Gainful purity.
Continue.
Tame the bull: fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
The Image of the second hexagram
Brightness doubled:
brilliance. The great person
spreads his brilliance
to illuminate
all four directions.
