Why am I so cranky today?

    16 Delight
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      What delight! 
Gain by naming allies. 
Move armies.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    Crowing delight. 
Misfortune.  
  
    The second line:
    Upright like a rock in character. 
In less than a day 
one shows that purity. 
Fortune.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    54 Marrying Sister
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Advance: misfortune. 
No place will bring gain.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Thunder explodes, 
shaking the earth: delight. 
The early kings made music, 
glorifying virtue as the 
highest offering to God, 
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Thunder over lake: 
marrying sister. 
The noble one pursues 
far-reaching goals 
while keeping aware 
of possible ruin.
