madmur1 asked:
what effect will cutting lines of communication have?
and received a response of:
37 Family
The Statement of the first hexagram
A family benefits
from the women's purity.
The changing lines
The second line:
No place to follow. Gifts are within.
Pure fortune.
The third line:
The family scolds. Remorse from severity
is gainful. Women and children
laughing too much leads to loss.
The fourth line:
A wealthy family.
Great fortune.
The fifth line:
The king withdraws to his family.
With no other help: fortune.
38 Estrangement
The Statement of the second hexagram
Estrangement.
In small matters: fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind emerges from fire:
family.
The noble one has
substance in speech and
constancy in action.
The Image of the second hexagram
Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
