The Situation

45. Ts'ui - Gathering Together (Massing)
Above (in front): Tui - The Joyous (Lake)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Gathering Together. Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to see the great man.
This brings success. Perseverance furthers.
To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
It furthers one to undertake something.


The Image for the Current Situation

Over the earth, the lake:
The image of Gathering Together.
Thus the superior man renews his weapons
In order to meet the unforseen.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: If you are sincere, but not to the end,
There will sometimes be confusion, sometimes gathering together.
If you call out,
Then after one grasp of the hand you can laugh again.
Regret not. Going is without blame.

Line 5: If in gathering together one has position,
This brings no blame.
If there are some who are not yet sincere in the work,
Sublime and enduring perseverance is needed.
Then remorse disappears.


The Future

51. Chên - The Arousing (Shock, Thunder)
Above (in front): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)
Below (behind): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)


The Judgement for the Future

Shock brings success.
Shock comes--oh, oh!
Laughing words--ha, ha!
The shock terrifies for a hundred miles,
And he does not let fall the sacrificial spoon and chalice.


The Image for the Future

Thunder repeated: the image of Shock.
Thus in fear and trembling
The superior man sets his life in order
And examines himself.
