What will happen with Arxontia tis week?
and received a response of:
24 Returning
The Statement of the first hexagram
Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.
The changing lines
The third line:
Urgent returning, harsh danger.
No fault.
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
The Image of the second hexagram
Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
