Nothing...or anything. Any reason why the Yi would have one message for an entire year ? How is that possible, a themed year ? Astrology is much better for that kind of thing. To find your real new year checkout your rising sign. The time of the year that the sun passes over your rising sign is your new year...kind of.
Divinatory methods have their most useful application. In my humble opinion astrology is good for seeing how periods of time may be experienced for a person. Unless a person has some particular resonance with the suns position on 1st Jan each year theres no reason to think a year will fall into a nice bite size divinatory chunk. Infact if you know anything about astrology you know that asking on 1st Jan what does the year hold to the Yi is missing so much. If you look at your astrological chart you might find your whole life turns around in March or August so how can an answer about the whole year beginning on 1st Jan be relevant.
Of course some people think it is and I expect they will be able to tell you how 62.3.4 fits with your year...but hey so much can happen in a year you'll be sure to able to make it fit whatever happens especially in retrospect
happy new year anyway...do your birth chart, its easy on a site called 'astrodienst' it does it all for you

peace be with you this year and always , and i am here just to tell you that i myself was very close to throwing the coins to seek an answer to a similar question.
Luckily , the remainings of my wits made me hault lol .It is sometimes more than precious to remember that we ourselves shape our own path, in fact it should be empowering to think that the future unfolds day after day.
So , unless you have a specific problem to solve this year, say, an uresolved matter from last year, that demands caution, i think the I Ching is telling you just to keep your eyes open (62.3) , meaning you'll see for youself what life brings you, and to adopt a yielding position (62.4) meaning refrain from the temptation of shaping your life beforehand.
"If one endevours to force his way to the goal ( the future), he would be endangered.Do not act but continue inwardly to persevere".
If you look into hex 2, it says about the same thing: it is not us who shape the "situation" , we are the "receivers" of it.
So, how about just letting things happen?
All the best .

Hey libelula, you must have read my mind! I was thinking we should ask for a message for 2009 too!
I note you did not ask for a prediction, but for a message for us:
62.3
If someone is not extremely careful,
Somebody may come up from behind and strike him.
Misfortune.
In other words,
"You don't know what may be coming at you from behind! Pay attention!"
62.4
No blame. He meets him without passing by.
Going brings danger. One must be on guard.
Do not act. Be constantly persevering.
In other words,
"You don't know what's coming at you up ahead! Pay attention!"
2.
If a man undertakes something and tries to lead,
He goes astray.
But if he follows, he finds guidance.
In other words,
" You Guys don't even know what's happening right under you! Pul-eeze pay attention!!!"
Okay, O gosh, will try...

"The superior man lets himself be guided; he does not go ahead blindly, but learns from the situation what is demanded of him and then follows this intimation from fate."

That could be a nice 2009 message for us all, couldn't it? I mean, taken as a general , overall , panoramic message serves about everybody , nice throw !
What i feel needs to be stressed here, (again: unless there is a specific problem the I Ching sensed in you and gave you the hints without your explicit request), is not to be over vigilant, or defencive, as if a manace was doomed to happen.
The message i see here is not to be vigilant but ATTENTIVE, in the best of buddhist senses.Keep your mind still, receptive, open so that you can perceive (not anticipate) the signs and then act accordingly.
Thanks, Libelula, it was good to recall this truth.
All the best.
