Do I need to be doing more or less in regards to my family dynamics right 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 fourth line:
Joining with those outside.
Pure fortune.
45 Collecting
The Statement of the second hexagram
The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
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
Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
