and received a response of:
35 Advancing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Marquis Kang receives gifts
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times
in one day.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
Regrets vanish. Loss and gain
are no longer concerns. Going forward
is fortunate: nothing but gain.
12 Clogging
The Statement of the second hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The Image of the first hexagram
Brightness emerges above
the earth: advancing.
The noble one brightens
her own virtue.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
