msoucy asked:
will the new year bring prosperity?
and received a response of:
50 Cauldron
The Statement of the first hexagram
Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
A cauldron overturned:
gain by expelling what is bad.
Take a concubine to have children.
The second line:
No fault.
A cauldron is full. My enemies are ill
and cannot approach me: fortune.
The third line:
A cauldron's handles removed:
it cannot be moved.
Cooked pheasant uneaten.
Rain now-in the end, fortune.
21 Biting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Biting. Penetrate.
Gain by prosecuting.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and lightning:
biting. The ancient kings
defined penalties and
declared the laws.
