Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others
On December 23, 2010 at 10:07 AM
why is this on my mind now?
and received a response of:
19 Arrival
The Statement of the first hexagram
The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
All arrival:
pure gain.
The second line:
All arrival: fortune.
Nothing but gain.
The fifth line:
Knowledge arrives.
The noble one is proper.
Fortune.
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
Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
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.
