what will happen with the surf in san francisco this march?
and received a response of:
24 Returning
The Statement of the first 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 changing lines
The third line:
Urgent returning, harsh danger.
No fault.
The fifth line:
Honest returning:
no fault.
63 Already Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Already across. Continue.
Small gain: be steadfast.
In the beginning, fortune.
At the end, disorder.
The Image of the first 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.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
