44 Copulating

The Statement of the first hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.

The changing lines

The first line:
Checked by a metal brake: pure fortune.
There's a place to go, but misfortune
will be seen. A weak pig will surely falter.
The sixth line:
Copulating with a horn. Remorse.
No fault.

43 Decisiveness

The Statement of the second hexagram

Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.

Trust in the commands. Be stern.

There will be severity.

Announce to your own city.

There is no gain in going to war.

Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
