The six lines

Read from the bottom up. In a cast, only the lines that move are read, and they turn the hexagram into another one. Here they are in the original; a reading translates the moving lines and reads them for the question asked.

1. First line初六：晉如，摧如，貞吉。罔孚，裕无咎。
2. Second line六二：晉如，愁如，貞吉。受茲介福，于其王母。
3. Third line六三：眾允，悔亡。
4. Fourth line九四：晉如鼫鼠，貞厲。
5. Fifth line六五：悔亡，矢得勿恤，往吉无不利。
6. Top line上九：晉其角，維用伐邑，厲吉无咎，貞吝。

The Chinese is the received text of the Zhou Yi; the English is ours. Lines and images that speak of punishments, prisons, illness or money are left out. For entertainment and self-reflection.
