9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The second line:
Pulled to return.
Fortune.
The third line:
Carriage spokes halted.
Husband and wife quarrel.
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.

and morals.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder over the middle
of the lake: following.
The noble one at sunset
goes into a house to rest.
