Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others
On October 8, 2024 at 1:18 PM
Any advice for this afternoon?
and received a response of:
62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.
Flying birds leave their sound:
it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
Birds fly from famine.
The third line:
Do not cross. Be on guard.
Attend to this, or there may be killing.
Misfortune.
51 Thunder
The Statement of the second hexagram
Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
The Image of the second hexagram
Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
