what advice can you give me for this birthday year?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    2 Earth
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Earth: maker, everywhere. 
Gain from a mare's purity.
The noble one wanting to go far
is first confused, but later finds guidance. 
Gain friends in the west and south,
Lose friends in the east and north.
Peace: this is a sign of fortune.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The fourth line:
    A tied sack:
neither blame nor praise.  
  
    The sixth line:
    Dragons fight in the wild:
their blood is dark and yellow.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    35 Advancing
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Marquis Kang receives gifts 
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times 
in one day.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Ground as the power 
of earth:
the noble one generously
supports all things.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Brightness emerges above 
the earth: advancing. 
The noble one brightens 
her own virtue.
