HEX 3 : CHUN / INITIAL DIFFICULTY
(K'AN: Water, dangerous | CHEN: Thunder, arousing)
Great success in firm
correctness. Act only when progress is possible. Seek helpers. Clouds and
thunder. The superior one brings order to matters. [2nd=6] Wagon loses its horse. A suitor arrives, not a
robber. Offer chastely declined. In ten years they will marry. [3rd=6] Whoever hunts
deer without a forester only gets lost. The superior one seeing the signs,
desists. To go on brings regret. [4th=6] Wagon loses its horse. She seeks a suitor's
help. Advantage in every move.
HEX 43 : KUAI / BREAKTHROUGH
(TUI: Lake, joyful | CH'IEN: Heaven, active)
Exposing evil at the ruler's court,
with sincere appeal to remedy the peril. Warn the people not to use arms.
Advantage to proceed. Lake rising to heaven. The superior one dispenses all
wealth, keeping none unused.
