Gathering Together — 二九
Cui · Er Jiu
二九 · Er Jiu
The Line
Letting oneself be drawn brings good fortune and remains without blame. If one is truthful, it is also favorable to bring a small sacrifice.
Interpretation
In times of gathering one should not choose one's way arbitrarily. Secret forces are at work that bring together the people who suit each other. One must yield to this attraction; then one makes no mistake. Where inner relations are present, no great preparations and formalities are necessary. One understands each other without further ado, as the divinity also graciously accepts a small sacrifice when it comes from the heart.
