why is this coming up now?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    50 Cauldron
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Cauldron. 
Great fortune. 
Continue.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The third line:
    A cauldron's handles removed: 
it cannot be moved. 
Cooked pheasant uneaten. 
Rain now-in the end, fortune.  
  
    The sixth line:
    A cauldron with a jade carrier. 
Great fortune. Nothing but gain.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    40 Releasing
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Gain in the west and south. 
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune. 
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Fire on top of wood: 
cauldron. 
The noble one takes the 
principal seat 
to solidify his commands. 
Could you stoke 
the cauldron that feeds 
all people?  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Thunder and rain act:
releasing. 
The noble one 
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
