Changing line #1

初六：旅瑣瑣，斯其所取災。

"Ignoring Trivial Concerns"— If I focus on trivial worries as I journey through life, this will lead to misfortune. There is no reason to get defensive at this time. Treat others with respect and they will treat me the same.

Changing line #2

六二：旅即次，懷其資，得童僕貞。

"Needs are Met Easily"— There will be sufficient funds, food, shelter and friendships to help me on my journey. Relax. This is a time when I am touched by grace.

Changing line #3

九三：旅焚其次，喪其童僕，貞厲。

"The Burning Inn"— Extend kindness to strangers on the path. The image of the burning Inn implies I have overstayed the welcome. Accept this news and move on

Changing line #5

六五：射雉一矢亡，終以譽命。

"Shooting an Arrow Straight On"— This image implies a situation where I will be praised for my talents. I will make friends easily, even if I am in a new land

Changing line #6

上九：鳥焚其巢，旅人先笑後號咷。喪牛于易，凶。

"The Burning Nest"- This will be a time when I lose my resting place. Though unfortunate, the wise person continues on, trusting that this loss is all for the best in the end.

Changing line #2

九二：孚兌，吉，悔亡。

"Avoiding Dubious Companions"— I Surround myself with people who reflect and support my inner joy. This will empower me to eradicate any difficulties that might emerge.

Changing line #3

六三：來兌，凶。

"Avoiding Distraction"— I shall not mistake joy for pleasure. The wise person knows they are not the same. Pleasure comes when circumstances are favourable. But true joy starts from inside me and is independent of outer circumstances. Seeking solely on the outer level for fun and pleasure-though nothing is wrong with this can become a distraction from experiencing the depth of pure joy

Changing line #4

九四：商兌，未寧，介疾有喜。

"Deciding Higher"— I shall not let my focus swerve to the lower realms at this time. I put my attention on matters dear to my heart, not on lowly or superficial games. I decide to step into a cosmic inner joy
