Omen of not winning last night, please.?
and received a response of:
12 Clogging
The Statement of the first hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The changing lines
The third line:
Wrapped in shame.
The fourth line:
Commands without fault,
fields divided: blessings.
The fifth line:
Clogging ceases. Great people prosper.
It could be lost! It could be lost!
Tie it to the roots of a mulberry tree.
52 Stilling
The Statement of the second hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
The Image of the second hexagram
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
