Forty-Fifth Hexagram
The Lake rises
by welcoming and receiving
Earth's waters:
The King approaches his temple.
It is wise to seek
audience with him there.
Success follows this course.
Making an offering
will seal your good fortune.
A goal will be realized now.

Changing Lines
Line Six
A gathering of mourners.
No one is to blame.
Line Five
You are in a position
to bring people together
and lead them.
At first there will be
doubters and detractors,
but your calm resolve
will win even their hearts.
Line Four
No one will begrudge you
the good fortune ahead.
Line Three
You strive to find
common ground
that doesn't exist.
Sighing in sadness
and walking away
would be understood,
though you may think
less of yourself.
Line Two
It will prove good fortune
to allow yourself
to be drawn into this group.
Attract an invitation
by having something
small but sincere to offer.
Line One
You seem to blow
both hot and cold,
sometimes seeking to join in,
sometimes shrinking away.
Admit your fears out loud,
and a true companion
will answer.
Joy returns.
