2 Earth

The Statement of the first hexagram

Earth: maker, everywhere.
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance.
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.

The changing lines

The second line:
Straight, square, great-
this leads to spontaneous
and undoubted gain.
The third line:
Hide your talents, but stay steadfast
if you would be of royal service.
