What is the most important thing to do next?
and received a response of:
7 Armies
The Statement of the first hexagram
Armies must be steadfast.
With a great leader
they will find fortune.
They must remain without fault.
The changing lines
The first line:
Armies must march with rules.
Otherwise, whether gain or loss,
there will be misfortune.
The sixth line:
The great prince takes command.
He founds a country
and supports the clans.
He does not employ petty people.
41 Decrease
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decrease. Have confidence.
Great fortune. No fault
if one can be upright.
Gain by having a place to go.
How should one act?
Two square bamboo baskets
can be used in offering.
The Image of the first hexagram
The earth's center
is filled with water.
The noble one supports
the people and cares for
everyone.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
