8 Joining

The Statement of the first hexagram

Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
Joining from within our own people.
Pure fortune.
The third line:
Joining with robbers.
The sixth line:
Joining without a leader:
misfortune.

57 Wind

The Statement of the second hexagram

Wind. Slight progress.
Gain by having a place to go.
Gain by seeing the great person.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Wind following wind:
wind. The noble one gives
further instructions
and takes action.
