| The future is embodied in Hexagram 45 - Ts'ui (Gathering Together): The king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man.

The use of great victims will be conducive to good fortune, and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous. |
