8 Joining
The Statement of the first hexagram
Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
Joining from within our own people.
Pure fortune.
The third line:
Joining with robbers.
The fourth line:
Joining with those outside.
Pure fortune.
The fifth line:
Glorious joining. The king uses three beaters
to flush the birds before him,
but citizens need no such coercion. Fortune.
32 Constancy
The Statement of the second hexagram
Constancy is to continue
without fault.
Gain through purity.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and wind:
constancy.
The noble one stands
without changing direction.
