63 Already Across

The Statement of the first hexagram

Already across. Continue.

Small gain: be steadfast.

In the beginning, fortune.

At the end, disorder.

The changing lines

The first line:
Pulling his wheels, flooding the rear.

No fault.
The third line:
Gao Zong attacks the Gui Fang:

three years to overcome them.

Minor people are useless.
The fourth line:
Leaking: caulk with rags.

The whole day: be on guard.
The sixth line:
Dunking his head.

Severe.

12 Clogging

The Statement of the second hexagram

Clogging by wicked people.

Nothing to be gained,

even from a steadfast prince.

The great goes, the vile comes.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
