The Reading
(To Friendship)
Ko becomes Heng
Revolution, forty-nine
changes into Heng in time
only believed once achieved
great progress well conceived
firm correctness brings success
bound by the skin of a yellow ox
fortunate action taken
tiger stripes change
faithfully arrange
the I-Ching coins upon the table
with a toss of the hand
then the woman comes in
feminine in her manner
passive in her force
lake becomes thunder
fire becomes wind
transforming into thunder over wind
movement in any direction
will be advantageous
The future is embodied in Hexagram 32 - Heng (Duration): Successful progress and no error is indicated, but the advantage will come from being firm and correct. Any movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Tui (Lake), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, joy, pleasure, and attraction are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.
The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to penetration and following.
