54 Marrying Sister

The Statement of the first hexagram

Advance: misfortune.
No place will bring gain.

The changing lines

The first line:
A younger sister marries as a secondary wife.
The lame can tread. Going is favorable.
The fourth line:
A younger sister marrying.
Overflowing expectations.
A late marriage has its season.
The sixth line:
A woman carries a basket: no fruit.
A man sacrifices a ram: no blood.
No place is gainful.

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

Thunder over lake:
marrying sister.
The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
