Omen of idea, please.?
and received a response of:
23 Splitting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Splitting; no gain
in having a place to go.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
The court ladies and concubines
are like fish tethered to a line:
nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Great fruits are not eaten.
The noble one gets a sedan chair.
The vile ones splinter their huts.
8 Joining
The Statement of the second hexagram
Joining brings fortune.
Repeating the divination by yarrow stalks
brings a supreme and lasting omen
without fault.
Those who are not sure
will join the plan.
Those who are late
will meet misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
The mountain resting on
the earth: splitting.
When the high
are generous
to those below,
all dwell in peace.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water pooled
on the earth: joining.
The early kings founded
the myriad nations,
and kept close ties
with all the leaders.
