In my Karcher/Ritsema book, 27 is "jaws/swallowing" and the summary is open your mouth and swallow. What?
38 is "polarizing" and says "things that are connected but shouldn't join."
Ok.
For 27, I also see these explanation:
Daniels - "Provide nourishment. Allow yourself to be nourished."
Legge - "Indicates that with firm correctness there will be good fortune (in what is denoted by it). We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment."
Wilhelm - "The Judgment: The corners of the mouth. Perseverance brings good fortune. Focus on how one may provide nourishment to fill one's own mouth."
So does 27 refer to oneself being nourished? Maybe that's what "open your jaws and swallow" means.
So now let's look at 38:
Karcher/Ritsema - "things that are connected but shouldn't join."
Daniels - "Polarise opposites. Keep things separate and estranged."
Those two are pretty much the same
Legge - "Indicates that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which it denotes), in small matters there will (still) be good success."
That one sounds more positive
Wilhelm - "The Judgment: Opposition. In small things, good fortune."
That one sounds positive, too.
What is "in small things?"
What has been your experience with 27 and 38? I don't mean 27 changing into 38, I just mean 27 in general and 38 in general.
Thanks!
