What should I be working on now?
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 second line:
Joining from within our own people.
Pure fortune.
29 Pit
The Statement of the second hexagram
Repeated pits.
Have confidence.
Tether your heart and continue.
Action brings honor.
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
Flowing water comes:
repeated pits.
The noble one moves
with constant virtue, and
repeatedly teaches
the critical matters.
