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初九：遇其配主，雖旬无咎，往有尚。
2. Second lineLeft out: this line speaks of a subject this site doesn't read.
3. Third line九三：豐其沛，日中見沬，折其右肱，无咎。
4. Fourth line九四：豐其蔀，日中見斗，遇其夷主，吉。
5. Fifth line六五：來章，有慶譽，吉。
6. Top line上六：豐其屋，蔀其家，窺其戶，闃其无人，三歲不觌，凶。

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.
