Eliora asked:
Re a question, 14 changes to 54. How to deal with 54, in context to my question which resulted in 14/54?
and received a response of:
19 Arrival
The Statement of the first hexagram
The arrival of the maker: everywhere,
giving and pure.
When the eighth moon comes,
there will be misfortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
All arrival: fortune.
Nothing but gain.
24 Returning
The Statement of the second hexagram
Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Earth by the lake: arrival.
The noble one
is inexhaustible
in teaching,
and boundlessly protects
the people.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
