Am I sufficiently protected against attacks, please.?
and received a response of:
40 Releasing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
No fault.
The second line:
Capturing three foxes in the field,
receiving yellow arrows. Pure fortune.
The sixth line:
The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk
from the top of the ramparts.
Nothing but gain in capturing.
21 Biting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Biting. Penetrate.
Gain by prosecuting.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
