what does he think of me?
and received a response of:
42 Increase
The Statement of the first hexagram
Increase. Gain by having a place to go.
Advance across the great river.
The changing lines
The first line:
Gain by using great work.
Great fortune. No fault.
The fourth line:
There is a middle path. Alert the duke
to follow. Gain by working for the sake
of moving the nation.
The fifth line:
Have confidence in a kind heart.
Unquestioned great fortune.
Have trust in the kindness of my conduct.
The sixth line:
No increase when someone attacks.
Setting the heart without constancy:
misfortune.
16 Delight
The Statement of the second hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind and thunder:
increase. The noble one
sees perfection
and shifts to fit its pattern,
and corrects his own faults.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
