44 Copulating

The Statement of the first hexagram

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

The changing lines

The second line:
The wrapping has fish. No fault.
Not gainful for guests.
The third line:
Buttocks without skin: one walks uneasily.
Harsh, but no great fault.
The fourth line:
The wrapping has no fish:
the start of misfortune.
The fifth line:
Like a gourd surrounded by willows,
and held in place,
there comes a falling from heaven.
The sixth line:
Copulating with a horn. Remorse.
No fault.

2 Earth

The Statement of the second 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 Image of the first hexagram

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

The Image of the second hexagram

Ground as the power
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.
