44 Copulating

The Statement of the first hexagram

Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.

The changing lines

The first line:
Checked by a metal brake: pure fortune.
There's a place to go, but misfortune
will be seen. A weak pig will surely falter.
The second line:
The wrapping has fish. No fault.
Not gainful for guests.
The fifth line:
Like a gourd surrounded by willows,
and held in place,
there comes a falling from heaven.

The Image of the first hexagram

Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brightness doubled:
brilliance. The great person
spreads his brilliance
to illuminate
all four directions.
