which relationship can I expect from him?
and received a response of:
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the first hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
The changing lines
The second line:
Hold using yellow ox hide,
but do not declare victory.
The fourth line:
A fitting withdrawal.
For the wise one, fortune.
For the inferior one, evil.
The sixth line:
Wealth withdrawn.
Nothing but gain.
48 Well
The Statement of the second hexagram
Well. A city may change,
but the well does not.
It does not lose, it does not gain.
In spite of all who come and go from a well,
it remains a well.
But if the rope cannot reach,
or if the well's vase is upended:_
misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
