No. 45. Gathering Together / Bringing Together:

Bringing Together. Success.The king arrives at the ancestral temple.Favorable to see a great person. This brings success. Perseverance furthers. To bring great offerings creates good fortune. It furthers one to undertake something.

Your task at this time is to bring people together. Wilhelm and Blofeld translated this message as Gathering Together. Huang chooses Bringing Together, finding Gathering too general.

"Bringing bears a sense of causing to come and implies a purposeful togetherness."

Or it may be that you - personally and internally - need to "get it together." As R.L. Wing points out, "When you are not in accord with your goals, you may well feel indecision, conflict, or malaise; when you are, a sense of confidence and well-being will surround you." What is it that you need to "get together?" Whatever it is, this need will dominate everything you do for the foreseeable future: we received no changing lines with this message.
