      lonestranger asked:   
  
  
    
What is my element?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    26 Great Restraint
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Gain by being upright. 
Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fourth line:
    A young bull's headboard.
Great fortune.  
  
    The sixth line:
    Where is heaven's thoroughfare? 
Go through it.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    34 Great Vigor
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Great vigor, gainful purity.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven in the center of a 
mountain: great restraint. 
The noble one 
frequently studies 
the words and prophesies 
of the past, and thereby 
nourishes virtue.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Thunder in heaven above: 
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence 
and does not fail 
in conduct.
