WHAT CAN I EXPECT IF I SEEK TO SERVE AS A COACH?

and received a response of:

62 Small Crossing

The Statement of the first hexagram

Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.

Small matters can be done,

but not large matters.

Flying birds leave their sound:

it is unsuitable to go high-

the suitable is below.

Great fortune.

The changing lines

The first line:
Birds fly from famine.

The third line:
Do not cross. Be on guard.

Attend to this, or there may be killing.

Misfortune.

The fourth line:
No fault. Do not cross to meet them.

Going is dangerous. Absolutely refrain.

Do not act: be everlasting and firm.

24 Returning

The Statement of the second hexagram

Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
