Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what opportunities will open up for me as a result of going this track?
and received a response of:
49 Reform
The Statement of the first hexagram
Reform: on one's own day,
confidence is won-
making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.
Regrets vanish.
The changing lines
The second line:
By day's end, there is reform.
Going is fortunate and without fault.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire in the middle of the
lake: reform. The noble one
orders the calendar
by the seasons.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
