41 decreasing with 1 and 2 changing lines forming hexagram 23.
Wilhelm/Baynes:Decrease combined with sincerity brings about supreme good fortune without blame. One may be persevering in this. It furthers one to undertake something. How is this to be carried out? One may use two small bowls for the sacrifice. (This hexagram describes your situation in terms of sacrifice and loss. It emphasizes that lessening yourself and decreasing your involvements is the adequate way to handle it...])
Line 1
Wilhelm/Baynes: Going quickly when one's tasks are finished is without blame. But one must reflect on how much one may decrease others.
Line 2
Wilhelm/Baynes: Perseverance furthers. To undertake something brings misfortune. Without decreasing oneself one is able to bring increase to others.
Does this mean I should be happy with the now and let things be. It talks about sacrifice and anger, does that mean I need to work on my inner self and be even more kind and compassionate to others or is it because Im not truthful to myself regarding what I want instead of trying to conform to family and society? My husband and I are letting things happen naturally with no added help; we are happy regardless of either outcome.
Thank you for your thoughts.
