what is the lesson i am supposed to learn from this?
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 third line:
Going is unfortunate. Pure harshness.
Reform is declared three times
before there is confidence.
The fourth line:
Regrets vanish. Have confidence,
alter the commands. Fortune.
3 Sprouting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.
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
Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
