Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what eefect will this have on me?
and received a response of:
25 Innocence
The Statement of the first hexagram
Innocence: from the first, all must be
pervasive, gainful, and pure.
Those without such truth suffer calamity
and do not gain no matter where they go.
The changing lines
The third line:
Unexpected trouble:
a cow might be tethered by someone else.
The traveler gains, the townsman loses.
The fifth line:
Unexpected illness.
Recovery from sickness brings joy.
The sixth line:
Unexpected action brings disaster.
No place will be gainful.
55 Plentiful
The Statement of the second hexagram
Plentiful. Progress.
The great king arrives. Do not grieve.
All is right as the midday sun.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
