Letting go as my method of Reduction Hexagram 41?
and received a response of:
2 Earth
The Statement of the first hexagram
Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
Treading on frost-
solid ice will soon arrive.
The fourth line:
A tied sack:
neither blame nor praise.
The fifth line:
Yellow garments.
Great fortune.
17 Following
The Statement of the second hexagram
Following
what is great, smooth,
gainful, and pure.
No fault.
The Image of the first hexagram
Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
