Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what is going on with me today?
and received a response of:
38 Estrangement
The Statement of the first hexagram
Estrangement.
In small matters: fortune.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
Estranged, one meets the main person.
A trustworthy exchange.
Severity is without fault.
The sixth line:
Strange sights: a pig shouldering mud,
a cartload of ghosts. One first draws a bow,
then lowers it. No raider- a groom. Go.
Meet the rain, and with it, fortune.
19 Arrival
The Statement of the second hexagram
The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
The Image of the second hexagram
Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
