What will happen, if mom does not do the operation next Tuesday?
and received a response of:
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the first hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The changing lines
The first line:
Strong in the feet:
Going forward, there will be no triumph
due to mistakes.
The second line:
Alert commands. Night after night
of fighting without relief.
The fourth line:
Buttocks without skin: one walks uneasily.
Follow like a sheep and regrets vanish.
Instead, words are heard but not believed.
The sixth line:
No signals:
the end will be misfortune.
53 Gradually
The Statement of the second hexagram
A woman marries: fortune.
Gainful purity.
The Image of the first hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood on the mountain:
gradually.
The noble one dwells
in high moral character
and reforms
popular customs.
