can you provide further insight into the meaning of the Norn spread I just did?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    26 Great Restraint
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Gain by being upright. 
Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The sixth line:
    Where is heaven's thoroughfare? 
Go through it.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    11 Prospering
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Prospering: the vile goes, 
the great comes. 
Fortune. Continue.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven in the center of a 
mountain: great restraint. 
The noble one 
frequently studies 
the words and prophesies 
of the past, and thereby 
nourishes virtue.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Heaven and earth combine: 
prospering. 
The empress uses wealth 
to fulfill the way 
of heaven and earth. 
She supports the order 
of heaven and earth for 
people on all sides.
