Gain by having a place to go.

No fault.
The third line:
A weak beam.

Misfortune.

An ample beam. Fortunate,

19 Arrival

The Statement of the second hexagram

The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
