how will it play itself out?
and received a response of:
39 Hindered
The Statement of the first hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No gain in the east and north.

though he did not personally cause it.
The third line:
Going: hindered.
Approaching: reversal.
The fifth line:
Greatly hindered.
Friends approach.

4 Youth
The Statement of the second hexagram
A youth must be steadfast.
I do not seek the naive youth.
The naive youth seeks me.
At the first divination, I explain,
but after three times, it is irritating.
Annoyed, I explain no further.
Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
The Image of the first hexagram
Water on top of the
mountain: hindered.
The noble one
turns inward
to cultivate virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
