5 Waiting

The Statement of the first hexagram

Waiting. Stay confident:

there is light everywhere.

Pure fortune.

Advance across the great river.

The changing lines

The first line:
Waiting in the countryside.

Gain by being steadfast.

Be without fault.
The second line:
Waiting in the sand.

The small will talk.

At last, good fortune.
The third line:
Waiting in the mud

draws raiders to arrive.
The fourth line:
Waiting in a bloody cave.

Get out!

45 Collecting

The Statement of the second hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
