Will I batpotaape ihnsy?
and received a response of:
2 Earth
The Statement of the first hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere. Gain from a mare's purity. The noble one wanting to go far is first confused, but later finds guidance. Gain friends in the west and south, Lose friends in the east and north. Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
Straight, square, great- this leads to spontaneous and undoubted gain.
The third line:
Hide your talents, but stay steadfast if you would be of royal service.
The fifth line:
Yellow garments. Great fortune.
48 Well
The Statement of the second hexagram
Well. A city may change,
but the well does not.
It does not lose, it does not gain.
In spite of all who come and go from a well,
it remains a well.
But if the rope cannot reach,
or if the well's vase is upended:_
misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Ground as the power of earth: the noble one generously supports all things.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood above water: well. The noble one encourages the people and lends them assistance.
