HEXAGRAM 54: MARRIAGE

Not a good time for undertakings.

The Lines (base to top)

Cousin dances: wedding day
Vision returns to veiled eyes
Cousin's sister dances too
A late-arriving marriage
Concubine outshines the bride
Empty basket, bloodless meat

Commentary

Thunder over lake.

This wedding's a big deal. Face it: you're not doing anything else.

Are they right for each other?
