    54 Marrying Sister
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Advance: misfortune. 
No place will bring gain.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The third line:
    A younger sister waits to marry. 
Returns to marry as a secondary wife.  
  
    The fourth line:
    A younger sister marrying. 
Overflowing expectations. 
A late marriage has its season.  
  
    The fifth line:
    Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage. 
Her royal sleeves are not as fine 
as the secondary wives'. The moon: nearly full. 
Fortune.
