54 Marrying Sister

The Statement of the first hexagram

Advance: misfortune.
No place will bring gain.

The changing lines

The first line:
A younger sister marries as a secondary wife.
The lame can tread. Going is favorable.
The second line:
Blind in one eye: able to see.
Gain by a solitary person's firmness.
The fourth line:
A younger sister marrying.
Overflowing expectations.
A late marriage has its season.
The fifth line:
Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage.
Her royal sleeves are not as fine
as the secondary wives'. The moon: nearly full.
Fortune.

8 Joining

The Statement of the second 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 Image of the first hexagram

Thunder over lake:
marrying sister.
The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
