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

What do I mean to Ernie Vecchione?
and received a response of:
11 Prospering
The Statement of the first hexagram
Prospering: the vile goes,
the great comes.
Fortune. Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
Pulled couch grass
uproots more with it by entwined roots.
Snatch it: fortune.
46 Rising
The Statement of the second hexagram
Rising. Great continuing.
Act now to see the great person.
Do not be distressed. Advance southward:
fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven and earth combine:
prospering.
The empress uses wealth
to fulfill the way
of heaven and earth.
She supports the order
of heaven and earth for
people on all sides.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood growing in the
center of the land: rising.
The noble one is mild,
gradually raising what is
tiny into the tall and great.
