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 first line:
Have confidence. Joining is without fault.
Be as full of trust as an overflowing pot.
At last, another will come. Fortune.
The third line:
Joining with robbers.
63 Already Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Already across. Continue.
Small gain: be steadfast.
In the beginning, fortune.
At the end, disorder.
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
Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
