Will there be growth 2022-2023?
and received a response of:
29 Pit
The Statement of the first hexagram
Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.
Action brings honor.
The changing lines
The first line:
Pit within a pit.
Entering an underground vault:
misfortune.
The second line:
The pit has dangers.
Inquiries get little.
The fifth line:
The pit is not yet flooded to the brim.
No fault.
24 Returning
The Statement of the second 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 Image of the first hexagram
Flowing water comes:
repeated pits.
The noble one moves
with constant virtue, and
repeatedly teaches
the critical matters.
The Image of the second 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.
