i ching on: any babies?
47. K'un / Oppression (Exhaustion)

---- ----
---------- above Tui The Joyous, Lake
----------
---- ----
---------- below K'an The Abysmal, Water
---- ----

The Judgement

Oppression. Success. Perseverance.
The great man brings about good fortune.
No blame.
When one has something to say,
It is not believed.

The Image

There is no water in the lake:
The image of Exhaustion.
Thus the superior man stakes his life
On following his will.

The Lines

Six at the beginning means:
One sits oppressed under a bare tree
And strays into a gloomy valley.
For three years one sees nothing.

() Nine in the second place means:
One is oppressed while at meat and drink.
The man with the scarlet knee bands is just coming.
It furthers one to offer sacrifice.
To set forth brings misfortune.
No blame.


17. Sui / Following

---- ----
---------- above Tui The Joyous, Lake
----------
---- ----
---- ---- below Chen The Arousing, Thunder
----------

The Judgement

Following has supreme success.
Perseverance furthers. No blame.

The Image

Thunder in the middle of the lake:
The image of Following.
Thus the superior man at nightfall
Goes indoors for rest and recuperation.
