Karin asked:
How can I do a better job studying the I Ching?
and received a response of:
42 Increase
The Statement of the first hexagram
Increase. Gain by having a place to go.
Advance across the great river.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
Have confidence in a kind heart.
Unquestioned great fortune.
Have trust in the kindness of my conduct.
27 Nourishing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Nourishing. Pure fortune.
Watch the jaws
and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind and thunder:
increase. The noble one
sees perfection
and shifts to fit its pattern,
and corrects his own faults.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
