Should I look forward to 2023?
and received a response of:
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 fifth line:
The eastern neighbor slaughters an ox,
not like the western neighbor's sacrifice
and worship: faithfully receives his happiness.
36 Smothered Light
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smothered light.
Gain is difficult: persist.
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
Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
