how did the situation affect her?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    28 Great Excess
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      The ridgepole sags. 
Gain by having a place to go. 
Continue.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The second line:
    A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch. 
An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.  
  
    The fourth line:
    An ample beam. Fortunate, 
unless there has been stinting.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    39 Hindered
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Gain in the west and south. 
No gain in the east and north. 
Gain by seeing the great person. 
Pure fortune.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    The lake overwhelms 
the trees: great excess. 
The noble one stands alone 
without fear, 
and can withdraw 
from the world 
without sorrow.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Water on top of the 
mountain: hindered. 
The noble one 
turns inward 
to cultivate virtue.
