how did the situation affect her?
and received a response of:
28 Great Excess
The Statement of the first hexagram
The ridgepole sags.
Gain by having a place to go.
Continue.
The changing lines
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.
An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The fourth line:
An ample beam. Fortunate,
unless there has been stinting.
39 Hindered
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No gain in the east and north.
Gain by seeing the great person.
Pure fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water on top of the
mountain: hindered.
The noble one
turns inward
to cultivate virtue.
