Who is my cunning adversary and how can I defeat him or her?
and received a response of:
35 Advancing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Marquis Kang receives gifts
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times
in one day.
The changing lines
The sixth line:
Advancing with their horns.
Secure by exerting: attack the town.
Harsh fortune. No fault,
but persistence brings sorrow.
16 Delight
The Statement of the second hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The Image of the first hexagram
Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
