Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

Should I have Shelly put me on her books to do a tarot reading this Thursday?
and received a response of:
45 Collecting
The Statement of the first hexagram
The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
The changing lines
The first line:
A trust that cannot reach conclusion:
there is confusion, there is collecting amid commands.
One grasps for smiling results-no help.
Depart without fault.
The fifth line:
Collecting brings position. No fault
that there is no trust.
Great everlasting constancy dispels regret.
51 Thunder
The Statement of the second hexagram
Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
The Image of the first hexagram
Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
The Image of the second hexagram
Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
