What happened to the relationship?
and received a response of:
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the first hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The changing lines
The second line:
Alert commands. Night after night
of fighting without relief.
The third line:
Strong in the cheekbones: misfortune.
The noble one is resolute, but walks alone-
soaked by rain, angry,
with no one to blame.
The sixth line:
No signals:
the end will be misfortune.
25 Innocence
The Statement of the second hexagram
Innocence: from the first, all must be
pervasive, gainful, and pure.
Those without such truth suffer calamity
and do not gain no matter where they go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
