and received a response of:
54 Marrying Sister
The Statement of the first hexagram
Advance: misfortune.
No place will bring gain.
The changing lines
The third line:
A younger sister waits to marry.
Returns to marry as a secondary wife.
The fifth line:
Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage.
Her royal sleeves are not as fine
as the secondary wives'. The moon: nearly full.
Fortune.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder over lake:
marrying sister.
The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
