The Situation

8. Pi - Holding Together (Union)
Above (in front): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Holding Together brings good fortune.
Inquire of the oracle once again
Whether you possess sublimity, constancy, and perseverance;
Then there is no blame.
Those who are uncertain gradually join.
Whoever comes too late
Meets with misfortune.

Bestowed the different states as fiefs
And cultivated friendly relations
With the feudal lords.

It is not believed.

The image of Exhaustion.
Thus the superior man stakes his life
On following his will.
