I will talk to Pau as an individual with slight estrangement from my wife. What else?
and received a response of:
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 first line:
Have confidence. Joining is without fault.
Be as full of trust as an overflowing pot.
At last, another will come. Fortune.
The second line:
Joining from within our own people.
Pure fortune.
60 Regulation
The Statement of the second hexagram
Regulation. Be pervasive.
One cannot be morally pure
through suffering and trial.
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
Water above the lake:
regulation. The noble one
regulates number and
measure and discusses
virtuous conduct.
