63 Already Across

The Statement of the first hexagram

Already across. Continue.

Small gain: be steadfast.

In the beginning, fortune.

At the end, disorder.

The changing lines

The second line:
A wife loses her ornaments. Do not chase:

get them back in seven days.
The third line:
Gao Zong attacks the Gui Fang:

three years to overcome them.

Minor people are useless.
The fourth line:
Leaking: caulk with rags.

The whole day: be on guard.
The fifth line:
The eastern neighbor slaughters an ox,

not like the western neighbor's sacrifice

and worship: faithfully receives his happiness.

by forethought.

while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
