What can I expect from him?
and received a response of:
19 Arrival
The Statement of the first hexagram
The arrival of the maker: everywhere, giving and pure. When the eighth moon comes, there will be misfortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
All arrival: pure gain.
The second line:
All arrival: fortune. Nothing but gain.
The third line:
Luscious arrival, but no place brings gain. Once grieving passes, there is no fault.
The fourth line:
Having arrived, no fault.
62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.
Flying birds leave their sound:
it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Earth by the lake: arrival. The noble one is inexhaustible in teaching, and boundlessly protects the people.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder above the mountain: small crossing. The noble one acts with more than enough reverence, destroys excessive grief, and uses more than enough economy.
