and received a response of:
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 first line:
Have confidence. Joining is without fault.
Be as full of trust as an overflowing pot.
At last, another will come. Fortune.
The second line:
Joining from within our own people.
Pure fortune.
The sixth line:
Joining without a leader:
misfortune.
61 Confidence Within
The Statement of the second hexagram
Confidence within:
Pigs. Fish. Fortune.
Advance across the great river.
Gainful purity.
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 above the lake:
inner truth.
The noble one
discusses the law
and grants reprieve
from execution.
