Background: I am struggling somewhat financially (medical bills to pay off--I live in the U.S., and we are not known for affordable health care); I have a decent job now, but it will be winding down over the next year as the owner of the business retires. Meanwhile, I have a son to support until he is out of law school. I often come up with business ideas and have gotten good feedback from others regarding them. I have one now that I believe is among the better ideas I've had, and I felt strongly that I should consult the I Ching. (I also felt that the Creator was on my side and quite possibly, the inspiration for this particular idea.) My question was "Proceed with new biz idea?"--what I had in mind was the wisdom of proceeding with my new business idea. I was delighted with the answers I received. 48.2 = "The Well," and in the description of the hexagram, there is an allusion to water. Actually, my product is a liquid, and a key ingredient will be water. And I get it, persistence will be one of the two key things, "The real question is whether you have the means to reach into such depths, and a steady hand to bring the water up into the real world without loss." The second hexagram, "limping" had me laughing, because I've injured my left knee, it's swollen now, and I was limping on my walk as I thought about my new business idea today. One of the questions asked of me was, "Where can you get help?" This is the second key to success, I believe. When I took breaks from work today, I thought specifically about people I have yet to meet, and who often spend time or live in California. Today, I am in the northeast, tomorrow in the early a.m., I am flying to the San Francisco Bay Area, the southeast. Well, according to hexagram 39,"'Limping. Fruitful in the southwest,Not fruitful in the northeast.Fruitful to see great people.Constancy, good fortune."What a coincidence, right? Blessings to all, and thank you for any comments!shieldmaiden

40 UC Why are guys not into me?
I have been frustrated lately, I'm almost 37, never a boyfriend, never sex. Really there are no good answers for this situation that has honestly happened against most probabilities. I've tried many things to meet people and work on myself (tho not changing who I am essentially, just things like working on listening skills, or updating my dress, practicing talking to strangers etc)
Had joined online dating again after taking a couple weeks off (after again frustrations), then had some more dates that were just boring, no connection, or men saying I have issues bc they can tell I have no experience, must be something wrong with me because otherwise "a catch". Most of my online dates have been like this, I never seem to find any type of person that I might be attracted to in real life there tho I assume there must be complimentary dudes there somewhere. Yesterday I got 2 dates who cancelled bc they decided to get serious with someone they were seeing, and then just hearing from remaining single friends in last week or two about how they finally found someone, made me a lil bummed. I still have not had anyone ask me out in real life other than this dude who apparently didn't want a relationship, and then ghosted me/mutual friends earlier this year. That was my closest "relationship" and it consisted of a guy who told me more than once he didn't think he was ready for a relationship, sigh. Well, you live and learn, obviously that was not a good fit. I feel like a big part of the problem is that dudes in real life are never attracted to me for some reason or make any move.
So I asked Yi "Why are men never attracted to me romantically, or make any move to get to know me romantically/physically?" I got 40 UC. My first thought is that maybe this situation is over, it will change and not be the case in the future? Or that somehow I didn't know if people were attracted (they certainly never made a move, and I usually did with guys I liked, they never reciprocated). I guess also releasing this idea that I'm a person dudes aren't attracted to- which I sorta have been, online I got like 30 messages a day the first couple months, tho most were very low quality "heyyyyyy"s. Tho I guess also too it is sorta saying be patient which I'm like, OMG BBQ TURNIP, is 37 years not enough? Jeebus. I really hope it's not just release and accept that men aren't attracted to me. Tho getting to a point where maybe I need to which totally sucks.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Looking for a job
HiNow here is my situation I just moved out of my fathers home and I am looking for a job but the thing is I am a painter and there arent many jobs that are relative to it so what Im looking for is a part time job that enables me to handle my life and leaves some time for painting too. What is ideal for me is a normal job like working in a bookstore.I asked I Ching how will I know which job is best for me and I got 44.2.3.5.6 to 16🙄 I guess I shouldnt get my self in situations beyond my capabilities and be realistic?? Or I am carried away with my imagination? Oh I really need help with this.

Hexagram 55.1.2.3 to 40 : how will the meeting/visit turn out for x
How will the meeting turn out for x-(with a top mgmt person in the organization) Its with an important person , 55.1 and 55.2 look to be really positive with excellent advice but 55.3 and 40 as the resultant hexagram seem to be bit worrying with right arm broken and 40 as release. Could you please tell how should this be interpreted, it seems like it would start out great and esp if the person is sincere can gain trustworthiness - but he should realize he is powerless in the situation and i am not too clear on the rest - in fact it has quite a negative message it seems :-( (reading is not for me- but i am trying to learn to interpret...thanks!)

Can a second reading provide information on the first?
Hi,
Can one use a hexagram answer to another question to get clarity on the first question. i.e I asked, "WhY DOES SHE CALL AND HANG UP"-24-4-. a lot of people say Oracle is telling me to return alone cause of inferior people -her. However, I asked the question about her. Maybe 4 refers to her returning to noble friend(me) Wilhelms reference to line 1 and its connection to 4.MY QUESTION IS I had also asked "Whats going to happen with she and me" 12 -line 5,6. IF ITS kosher TO USE THAT ANSWER TO CLARIFY LINE 4, THEN IT SEEMS CLEAR TO ME LINE 4 MUST BE REFERRING TO HER-SHE WILL RETURN TO ME-BUT MAYBE ONE HAS TO BE PURE AND ONLY CONSIDER #24-4 WITH NO HELP FROM 12??? THANKS JEFF(aZZIMM)

Help with reading much appreciated
Hello all, this is my first post. I'm so thankful for this website and Hilary.I need help with a reading, I would appreciate it so much.I am not that new to I Ching, but sometimes the answers makes me scratch my head, and I sometimes I have problems interpreting.Long story short, I'm separated, but still living in the same house with my soon to be ex husband in separates rooms, due ro financil issues. Anyway, there's this guy that I felt I had a strong connection with. He took another job and now he lives like 4 hours from where I live. We didn't really spoke ro each other, he would visibly get shy around me. It was all stareswhen I "wasn't looking". I, suddenly after almost 8 months of knowing he was there but not attracted at all, out of the blue I started liking him, even though we realky didn't talk! It was like a jolt. Since then (March 2018), I can not, for the life of me, stop thinking about him. He even moved, and I can't get him out of my head or heart. It is bot a case that 'because I can't have him I want him', I literally can feel his energy when I'm not even thinking about him. It's like his energy or thoughts or whatever it is invades me, I don't know why I feel this, but it's not funny because we don't even have any contact at all. This has never happened to me before, I feel stupid but at the same time I would really like for something positive and good ro happen between us.So I've been asking IC about this situation of mine, and sometimes i just get very confused. My last one I got Hex 58.1.2.4.6 changin to 20. My question was "Will we (J and I) ever connect in a romantic way?" I thought it was positive, but with so many lines changing, I don't know what to make of it. I do get 20(or at least i think I do), but it's a related hex, so I'm just very confused.Thank you so much in advance for your help

How to make it more bearable 60.1.2.5>2
Hi. I asked 'hoe do I make it more bearable between me and a special person' - I considered shariimy feelings today but got a negative reading (30.2.4>15 and the situation is not ideal - I'm away until two weeks and feel like it'd be better done in person). Anyway this special someone seems to ignore my communication attempt and I think he's found someone new. So I casted about making it .ore bearable since I'm totally lost. Is Yi telling me to wait for the right time to have a conversation? I still like the person whether we're together or not. I'm just not sure how to deal with no communication.

61.4.6>58 my baby's health question
Hello all!
I was blessed in April and finally got pregnant. It came very unexpected. After years of trying my husband and I gave up and that is when miracle pregnant - we got pregnant. I was pretty dumbfounded and confused, could not believe that the baby is finally here.
However, our joy was interrupted by an ultrasound results. They shoes that baby's bladder is not visible. I had everything rescanned 4 times and the bladder is not there. They see normal functioning kidneys and substantial amount of amniotic fluid, but no bladder. First the doctors thought that it is a birth defect known as bladder exstrophy. But then they decided that the bladder just never developed. So right now we are trying to figure out if there is any chance for the baby to live without the bladder or I should terminate the pregnancy.
I asked "why babies bladder is not showing?"
I received 61.4.6>58
I think it says that the bladder is not there. The hexagram is formed with lines around an empty center. Just like two channels which move urine from kidneys to bladder are around the bladder. I'm just not sure what lines mean.
I would appreciate your help with interpreting this further.
Love, Vikk

Question: Reading (Income through which channels? 32, 3.5 to 47)
Hi,
I trust that all my material needs will always be provided for. At the same time my mind would like to know through which channels I can expect income to flow to me.
I asked the I Ching the question "Income through which channels?"
Yi's answer was: 32, 3.5 to 47 (32 Lasting, 47 Confined)
This is the reading:
![]()
How can you continue on the same path, even as you adapt?
Who will you become by persevering in this?
Not a mistake.
Constancy bears fruit,
Fruitful to have a direction to go.'
Whatever becomes part of the heart's circling journey will last. We bind things influences, ideas, people into the fabric of our lives by integrating them into the daily round of our way of living, so that they are carried with us through change.
This is an active creative process, keeping the channels always open for exchange between inspiration and reality. Lasting tirelessly on your own path, whatever landscapes it travels through, is not a mistake.
What lasts bears fruit, not because you 'arrive' at some final destination, but because through all the changes you persevere in your intent and inspiration, and you are always finding ways to make it real.
A noble one stands firm and does not change his bearings.'
'The way of husband and wife cannot fail to endure, and so Lasting follows.
Lasting means enduring.'
Maybe accepting a shameful gift.
Constancy: shame.'
For the mature woman, good fortune.
For the young man, pitfall.'
![]()
Who are you, when you are alone?
Constancy of a great person, good fortune.
Not a mistake.
There are words, not trusted.'
The Chinese character for 'Confined' or 'oppressed' shows a tree completely encircled by walls: an image of entrapment and isolation. You are cut off, and cannot reach out to others. The great person finds good fortune in constancy to an inner ideal. This is the supreme test of character: whether you can hold to your purpose when there is no encouragement, no confirmation from outside, but only your own inner resources. The lack of outward signs of progress does not mean that you are wrong, or that the world is wrong. Rather than resenting the walls, concentrate on the life and growth within them.
Do not place too much value on words: they will not provide you with a way out neither conversation, nor argument, nor your own reasoning and theorizing. Words alone are only circulating ideas; they lack the real, personal connection that would make them trustworthy.
A noble one carries out the mandate, fulfils her aspiration.'
'Pushing upward and not reaching an end is naturally Confining.'
'The Well is wholly connected; Confined means meeting together.'
My feelings and thoughts about the answer:
I feel grateful for this answer. It confirms to me that I am on a path of upholding my own ideal and belief of how "income" flows to me and it confirms the good fortune that I am already experiencing and expecting. The reading also reminds me of the futility of "words" - of grasping intellectually/attempting to control the flow. This actually leaves me feeling relieved as I feel reassured that all good is coming naturally. Although I cannot reach out to others I can reach within myself and carry on the path which is most important to me, the path of inner peace. While I may be "confined" in space and time, I can carry on being grateful for what is and grow internally within the confinement.
I will continue to accept every blessing as it flows to me in whichever form - right now this lovely reading! Thank you. Love and Peace:bows:

Relationship 38.5.6 to 58,thanks!
Hi there! Haven't been here a while but never stop being awed by how accurate IC works😊
I asked about a relationship, I just met a man and we were both deeply touched by the meeting. He has a lot of commitment issues, like me. I feel like he is the male me, and we had a very special connection. He ran as hard as he could and I was so relieved when he told me he didn't want to commit and he doesn't ask it of me. But.. I do feel love and he is, in the least t, very intrigued. He wants to take it very very slow and is afraid to hurt me. I was so afraid of making mistakes that I wasn't myself anymore so that's why I'm relieved by this.
So what is possible? 38.5.6 to 58
Opposing seems accurate, we are alike but scared too. And he is thougher than me I guess. Curious about what you think of this reading?

Cancelled flights 28.1.6 > 1
Hi,
My son is stuck in the airport of a big city trying to catch a short connecting flight that has now been cancelled twice this afternoon. I asked whether he would make it home on one of the remaining 2 flights today and got 28.1.6 > 6.
Definitely a stressful situation. But are the prospects good that I will see him tonight?

English grammar program - is it OK ???
Hi, I've just downloaded a program called "Grammarly" from here:
https://www.grammarly.com/ for Windows (It's also accessible as a toolbar on Google Chrome for online use)
From my (Danish-speaking) point of view, it looks alright [it has just, when writing this, made corrections...] but has any of you, English speaking people here tried it and if so could you tell me if it works properly?
Thank You

Progress 45.4 > 8
Hello everyone,I am new to this and hope to get some insights on the hexagrams I have drawn. I have met this guy in my previous workplace last year December, I actually thought he's not bad but have known that he's a married man that's why I didn't bother to get to know him more. Throughout the next few months we only contacted each other for work, until one day in end April/early May, I cried in office due to workload stress and that was when he started talking to me more. We talked more and more each day and then started going out. We grew closer and then somehow fell for each other. During the start he had always warned me that he's not a good guy, but for me I just enjoyed talking and hanging out with him. In the midst he started getting greedier and wanted me all alone to himself. I felt that throughout the relationship he has become gentler and gentler to me, unlike during the start where he likes to just bully me and tease me like how "bad boys" would. He told me a lot of times he's afraid to lose me, often he would go against his character just to make me happy.One day one of my close colleagues came to know about this due to some reasons. She told me that she has actually known that we secretly admired each other for quite some time, before me and him even get closer. She told me that she also had noticed a change in him, he's much more cheerful. He admitted that he noticed me all along but didn't try to get closer because he is not in a position to do so. We have been together for three months now. Experiencing lots of different things in and out of the company. He treated me really sincerely and has been very honest to me, sometimes honest to the extent which hurts me. I know the situation between him and his wife, he doesn't indulge much but I know he doesn't enjoy his time with her, my colleague also overheard his conversation with his wife in May before and know that there is some problems in his marriage. I don't really dare to touch on this topic all along until recently we came across the topic of his wife suspecting things, he's afraid she finds out because of assets problem. I asked him will he be able to give me a future? He told me as of now no, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future. Which left me feeling conflicted. He doesn't seem to want to sacrifice anything at the moment.Currently he's in a lot of troubles due to family and company shares, I didn't want to add on to his troubles so I just let nature take its course and try to lighten his stress. However a lot of times I feel stucked, because I am at the age whereby I would want to find someone to settle down with but I just can't seem to leave this relationship. I asked Yi how will things progress between us in the future? I received 45.4 > 8From the looks of it, it looks auspicious. But for my question and the situation I am having, I wonder is it still auspicious?

Confusing relationship reading, 57.3.5.6 to 7 and 48.3 to 29
OK now I'm confused. I met a man and got head over heels. I might have scared him of by this because he is afraid of commitment. He told me he is confused and needs time. He also told me not to fall in love with him. And that he was overwhelmed by me and felt love for me. Perhaps this was a lie. His messages are so contradicting that it hurts me.
Now I asked "what can I learn from this meeting?" and got 57.3. 5.6.
I think this is about how I move to fast with the wrong person and lose my intuition.
Then I thought let's get out of this situation with a clear end. Write him that I want to end the contact. I asked IC how this would be for me and got 48.3. This confused me because it could mean that by ending the contact I lose something valuable. Or is this a warning about the overall situation? What is your experience with the way IC communicates?
For now I will totally retreat and take no action. I wanted to stop it so I wont have hope and to avoid being weak if he contacts me.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Losing a friend. Advice - Hexagram 43.3.5
Hi,
I´ve been totally reckless and irresponsible towards a very good friend of mine. She's in my life for almost 2 years - we've been seeing each other during this time, but it has been always like that: I usually imposed the way and time for us to meet. We haven't delevoped our relationship. We've actually never talked about it.
But we've had a conversation two days ago - after 2 weeks fo no contact - in which she decided to put an end to our relation. She said she was suffering too much to continue with this routine. She showed me all my flaws, the moments where I somehow showed her our relationship wasn't that important to me. She said she was tired of having a superficial relationship.
I didn't know I was hurting her. I thought everything was ok. But now I know I wasn't taking care of us.
Now I think I really lost someone important in my life. I feel ashamed for knowing this just now. This all sounds immature, but that's the way I did.
I asked the IChing for advice, and I got 43.3.5 to 54.
This seems confusing to me. The hexagram seems to show I should do something - our make a decision on something; but it seems there's more to it in those changing lines.
Actually, I AM confused: I wish I could write her to make amends and really try something out together, having a stable relationship and so on; but at the same time I don't know if that's what I should do; sometimes I think I should have some time to think why I was so irresponsible towards our relationship.
Sorry for my poor English! Hope I was clear.
Thanks for any advice on this reading!
I´ve been totally reckless and irresponsible towards a very good friend of mine. She's in my life for almost 2 years - we've been seeing each other during this time, but it has been always like that: I usually imposed the way and time for us to meet. We haven't delevoped our relationship. We've actually never talked about it.

Play group: 48.3 ->29 and and 31.3.4.5->2
I'm considering enrolling my daughter in a parent-child playgroup with a good reputation. It's "Waldorf-influenced" but seems to play down its Steiner connections. Yet the Steiner connections are what draw me in so their reluctance to really commit to calling themselves Steiner gives me pause. What continues to hold my interest is that it is outdoors and my daughter doesn't get enough outdoor time.
It's not cheap, though, and I've wondered if waiting til she's older would be better. I asked Yi about it two different times over the past month, worded slightly differently. Both readings weren't so great:
advice on doing the play group this fall?
31.2.3.5 -> 2
The 2 is the draw of the outdoors, I think, and giving her grounded experience. 31.2 seems like a strong "don't", 31.3 about my indecisiveness, and 31.5 I can't get a handle on.
outcome of doing playgroup this fall?
48.2-> 29
Well, 48.2 is a line where some potential is just not fulfilled. I wonder if this line is about their wishy-washiness around Steiner. I read a lot of reviews of the place and they were all positive, but seemed to be coming from parents with a more materialistic/structured mindset than us (reviews mentioned how astonished parents were that their two year old was happy with open play, being blown away that the leaders were encouraging kids to use sticks and acorns in play, etc.) It seems like maybe they have taken the outward-facing aesthetics of Steiner but I'm not sure about the inner aspects of it, about the development of the soul and such, which are what really draw me. And I'm not sure what the community of parents are like. (Which brings me back to feeling like we are living in the wrong place anyway right now, we're in a very transient, money-focused city.)
Thoughts, anyone?

22.4.6>55 and 13.4>37 sharing my experience about relationship
The past couple of months, We had some and ups and down with our relationship but working hard in keeping it going. Our relationship started great but later it was on a shaky ground. We are like tigers treading carefully and sometimes I'm more like hex 9, where i make an effort to communicate with him in the most jovial way. I felt at times my attention towards him is under appreciated. im working hard to rebuild that trust we both lost for each other. He has this unfounded suspicions that I am attracted to someone else. I keep telling him no. it is funny coz i feel the same way about him. but we are working hard to clear doubts and have better communication. He is quite the hermit at times and most of the times he is too busy with work even his own sister complained the same!
Earlier today i wondered why he has not replied to my text that was sent to him two days ago. Has he gone to his cave again? I felt so frustrated about what he wants out of this relationship.
I asked Yi what will B's next action in regards to me. the answer came as 13.4>37So the line 4 shows that he is being careful with whom he chooses to connect with but he knows he better get his act together and build a firm relationship with me if i am good enough for him. And that he will contact me. i checked the strength of the day of the reading and charted the elements to see if this is true. I use Alex Chiu's online software and Long Yi's recommended chinese website. Basically from my understanding, he will contact me when the heavenly stems are strong enough to support the weak officer Pig water to communicate with me (Fire horse) found in hex 13. Basically, it is today or tomorrow! i waited the whole day, I dont want to call him, because Yi suggested that I don't chase after him. Let him chase me. Basically asked me to wait -hex 5 (i forgot which hex it transformed to).
it was the hour rat. 12 midnight. Rat is water. it feeds that Pig! and i am getting pretty anxious.
I asked Yi, if B will call me now! the answer came to be 22.4.6>55.i was so engrossed in interpreting and didn't realize that B was calling and my phone was on silent mode!. luckily my eyes caught it in time and we spoke . I am very happy. So basically Hex 22 line 4 suggested that a hot looking man will contact me but will not pursue because the third line guy (maybe work related) will get in the way. Nothing like that happened to me but B did call me.(line 6) . B is hot to me by the way. So i dunno if both lines corresponds to the same person. At least I know, B is sincere in working on is communication.

42.3 .6 to 63 does my husband want to be with me
My husband and I have been having marital problems for a while. He has mentioned divorce but he has said thus in the past and not meant it. Somehow I feel it maybe different thus time. To me love six is saying his heart isnt really in it. It doesnt sound positive to me. Hex 63 could be reflecting the end of my marriage. Hex 42 could be how things will be if we split?Any thoughts???

Wise to allow debt in lean years in order to prosper in good years? 45.3 to 31
Hello! I am brand new to the forum as a member, though I have been reading for about three months.
I am an avid student of astrology, and in 2013 I foresaw that I would get very sick in 2014 or else suffer a severe injury. Turned out it was getting very sick. I was very sick for over a year, lost my job, and lost all my savings, even went hungry for a few months.
I am in my late 50s. now workign regularly, Thank God, and have a modest salary but GREAT benefits, including dental, health, and short term disability.
But I see that I will continue to struggle with money. I really am financially ruined, except that when I did see the danger ahead in 2013, I put every spare penny to paying off my tiny condo, and I own it clear. In view of the struggle ahead, a friend who is very wealthy advised me to invest in a cheap rental property to generate income. This sounds like a good idea, but the stars don't change. Struggle is ahead for the next ten years, alternating financially good years with bad years. So I wondered if I should just take the bad years in stride, just allow for debt up to buy and fix up rental properties, confident that in the good years I will make my money back and earn a profit.
The question I asked is, Is it wise (or will I make a profit) if I allow for debt in the lean years in order to earn a better profit in the good years?
My answer was 45.3, transforming to 31
Many thanks for your thoughts.
Thank you for any help.
PS: At first I thought that getting 45, "Gathering" was an indication that I am on the right course. I must gather the materials necessary to fix up the rental place(s) and rent them out.
But getting line 3 puzzled me. From the Legge translation:
"3. The third SIX, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret."
This confuses me. If I go forward and find no advantage, I will never get out of debt (or possibly get no renters), and yet the rest of the line indicates only small cause for regret.
Legge says this in a footnote: "Line 3 is weak, in the place of a strong line, and advanced from the central place. The topmost line, moreover, is no proper correlate. But its subject is possessed by the desire for union; and though 2 and 4 decline to associate with him, he presses on to 6, which is also desirous of union. That common desire brings them together, notwithstanding 3 and 6 are both divided lines; and with difficulty the subject of 3 accomplishes his object." But I'm not sure where he is getting this certainty.
But the transformed hexagram, Attraction (31) seems to be saying that it will all end well, with renters in place.
