What are the chances of a time for intimacy with this person at some Time in the future ??? Reading : 61.2 to 42 these moving lives talk about a single act of profound sharing ... this sounds hopeful or am I missing something ? Would appreciate any jnsight.. it seems like a beautiful reading to me in keeping with the tone of the question !

Taking Long yi and rosada's advice Hex 19 un
Long yi suggested I could be more open in sharing part of myself with (potential) employers and rosada suggested it may be good to try a different direction in seeking employment.....I received an email of a employer I interviewed with and really wanted the job with, telling me we'd have loved to offer you the job but things changed and the job is no longer available. I know a little bit of why the job is no longer available and have decided to write to the executives of the organisation with some suggestions of making the particular centre where the job is more viable......Being the Hierarchy of the organisation their email addresses aren't easily accessible but I've worked out potentially what the email addresses could be. My question is 'Show me a picture of these being the correct email addresses' Hexagram 19 unchanging.....I read this as maybe not answering my question but showing me to make use of this opportunity of sending the email to them.....Hexagram 19 is Titled Nearing/Persuasion amongst other names - it sounds really good to me.

What if I say no to a job offer? 64.3.5.6 > 48
Hello,
lately I moved to the big city where my partner lives and where Ive always want to live.
I left the job I used to do for a small firm and Im trying to work on my own.
This is a little challenging situation because I have to start from scratch, so I feel excited and scared at the same time: will I succeed? Will I fail?
So I asked the I Ching what I have to do to have success in my business and the answer was hexagram 46 unchanging: Pushing upward. I took it as a good sign, because I know that a lot of hard work is needed to reach my goals and I am ready to do it with a full commitment: I love my job and Im pretty good at doing it. The tricky (and for me scaring) part is about getting customers: actually something is going on at a slow pace, but I think this is the way business things are getting started.
Yesterday I received a very good job offer from a major company in the small town where I used to live before to move out.
I felt flattered but also overwhelmed by a jumble of thoughts: should I say yes? Or should I say no and keep going on my own in the place I love to be? Am I refusing a good chance?
I want to say NO from the depths of my heart because I want at least to keep triying to do something that really belongs to me, a job in which I can put something of my very self.
Moreover, I know backtracking wont be easy or painless, but at the same time Im afraid to regret the choice to be on my own and so on.
So, in order to get out of this impasse, I asked the I Ching:
What if I say no to this job offer?
And I got 64.3.5.6 > 48
I found it quite auspicious and truly resonating with me and with the transition Im facing.
Hilary wrote about the line 5:
Radiant confidence in the possibility of change - no regrets for the past, and a true grasp on the present moment and I interpret the change is what Im doing right know (on the present moment) for myself with no regrets for the past (the past which this job offer could get me back to).
Im just confused with what I read about the image: Also the image of something light and radiating over the danger or chaos. The image of light (ideal) guides you over the dangerous and icy waters and helps you to reorganize.
That makes me think Im misinterpreting the whole thing, since Im eager to read it as an encouragement to go on with the path Im walking: whats the light that guides me? Is what I want and I deeply feel inside me? Or rather is this job offer, which is radiating over the danger and the chaos?
So I asked what if I say yes and I got 60.1.2.5 > 2
The bitter measures gave me a lot to thing about: I got this hexagram quite often in the past, specially when I asked about my former job, which was safe but it costed me a lot of struggles and sacrifices (for instance, living far from the people I love and in a place I didnt like).
Am I wrong? Am I missing something important?
I really appreciate some help from you, because Im afraid Im not clear headed for this reading: theres a lot to go through
Thank you so much.

will I meet another girl?" and Yi's answer, 38.1.5.6 to 47.
Hello, I am still living with my wife but we have not been together for over a year. I have come to realize that she has just been using me from the begenning and run her agenda all along. It's like I just woke up and realized what was going on all along. I've been like a Labrador mixing with foxes as it were. I am resentful and angry. She isn't the person I thought she was (everything has been a lie) It's all been understood but unspoken. We have not spoken of splitting but it is inevitable. I want to move on when my finances improve (lost everything but my home over the last few years) We have kids so that is another reason why I have not move out. I or she will leave when it can be done without having to sell the kids home. I am wondering if I will meet someone after. I am fine not meeting a new life partner also but am curious.

Ongoing conversations about career 20.3.5 > 52
I've posted here before about my job and queries about getting out of this situation. I recently asked Yi What if I moved to [a particular city] when lease is up? and received 27.4 > 21. Since that cast I've continued thinking about moving to this other city. With that in mind, I finally broke down and asked What if I stay at my job through the summer? I've been resisting staying every which way and that hasn't done anything at all except make me feel more stuck. It only just occurred to me to ask about staying. So for this I received 45uc. This was kind of consoling. I make the bulk of my money over the spring and summer. It kind of goes along with gathering resources to move in the fall.
Now, the answer I am utterly perplexed by is to the question I asked regarding career path. I've been trying to work on phrasing my questions better or slightly different to see if it helps me understand readings better. In the spirit of Gathering, I was thinking I could begin educating myself via classes and books for a new job in the fall. I asked What would this position/career be like for me? 20.3.5 > 52. Ummmm what? :confused:
This looks to me like a picture of what I'm doing just by asking the question- examining my own life to determine whether to advance or retreat in this direction. Is there advice in this casting? A helpful hint? I have in general been in a contemplative, internal place over the past week. I'm wondering if Yi is telling me to just keep contemplating and continue to let more ideas come. That this isn't the one?
Fun fact, I was going back through old readings and found a question about how my current industry fits into my career path and was told 3.5.6 to 27... I think when I cast that I had no context or understanding for 3.6. Too bad.

45.4 to 8. Best course of action (failed relationship)
In the past l have posted about a guy who was a "player". He broke my heart but returned to break it again. I"m recovering but lm so afraid he will approach me again. He can be the nicest friend but l can't be friends with him. He returned in hopes of keeping me as a friend. But it is too soon as l was still recovering. And so shit happened between the two of where we decided not to be in touch.
I want to forget him but l have this feeling he will return again. I asked Yi what should l do with regards to X? I think Yi.is asking me to go out there and socialize with other people (45.4 to 8). This will help me realize that there are other good people whom l will be happy spending time with. I hope this what Yi is saying. Any thoughts?

Hexagram 61.2.5 into 27
Dear all,Last year I made a thread here: https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/frie...r&highlight=It related to a question about pursuing a girl of interest.I have returned to the country where I first met her and I am trying to make small steps to approach her again.I asked the Yi "What should I know about my pursuit of X"I received Hexagram 61.2.5 changing into 27.I feel the hexagram resonates with how I feel intuitively; that we will work through this previous misunderstanding and reconcile.I am optimistic that I can at least date her again.The external situation is very much like how it was at the time of my first casting, but I'm now making efforts to contact her and reconcile.I appreciate there may be some resistance, but I am sure of it that she'll give me another chance.Does anyone have any thoughts? I'd appreciate it a lot.Also, worth mentioning is before asking this question, 5 minutes earlier I asked a question 'How does she feel about me?' - I realised it is not ideal to ask about others so then decided to just ask about me.But in case it is of interest for anyone, I received Hexagram 60.2 -- I feel that the message of that lines relates to her present reluctance to speak with me.Anyway, would love to have positive chat with you all. Warm wishes

Is this the end of us? Hex 22.2.4 to 14
Dear community, I am helping out another friend with a reading and would like to know if I am interpreting this correctly. My friend recently cut things off with a businessman after he took advantage of her while they were working together. He basically offered to help promote her, then turned around and changed the script when she wouldnt date him. Right now shes angry and hurt, she really looked up to him until he pulled this on her. In a fit of rage, she cut him off on all social media accounts (except her personal phone number) and wanted to know if he got the sign from her and was going to be a decent enough person to apologize. She put so much work into this project with him and is hoping he will, so that she can move on and finish the work with him. If he doesnt apologize, she said she would scrap it and start all over, even though starting over would be a major hassle. I take 22 to mean something related in the arts industry (she does work in visual design). Line 2, I think, means hes a foolish man for even treating her that way, but line 4 seems to hint that he will come back and apologize at the right time. 14 is generally a positive outcome whether or not she gets an apology so if anyone can shed some light on this I would be grateful.

How to start a discussion about leaving
My question was about how to approach my husband of many years about finally ending a relationship that is, indeed, over. He is delaying the end, pretending not to hear me on the subject. It's frustrating to say the least. My desire (for my/our ongoing financial health) is to divide our house into two apartments. Unconventional, yes, but perhaps the best solution in a very expensive city.
The hexagram I is received was 37.1.6 to 39.
Any thoughts are welcome.

Poll: if you'd like to attend a Yijing Foundations Class, *when* should it be?
As you may know, I'm running a live online Yijing Foundations Class this year. The question is, when?
The earliest I can start is mid-/late May. We need 12 weeks to have time to absorb and practise everything, so that would make for a weekly class running right through the holiday period until mid/late August.
The alternative is to start in September and continue through November.
If you're interested in attending, which dates would you prefer?
(Note: if you're interested enough to take this poll, do make sure your name's on the notification list for the class. Sign up for that here.)

What if we moved abroad? 33.5->56
I have dual nationality with a country I've never lived in nor seriously considered moving to. No family or close friends are left there. However, it's also English-speaking and offers excellent, afforable healthcare and a better housing market. My husband and I are currently in the US facing a massive monthly bill for health insurance (premiums + deductible will be greater than 1/3 of our total yearly income when we make the forced switch). Between that and the cost of renting or buying where we live, and the tumultuous political landscape...we are trying to figure out if moving abroad makes sense. It seems pie in the sky (not many jobs open in our fields there) but maybe worth at least looking into.
I asked Yi:
What if we pursue moving there? 33.5 -> 56
56 showing makes me think that the oracle is indeed commenting clearly on a possible move, but the 33.5 is puzzlingly vague. Is Yi saying we should retreat from the idea? Or...retreat from this troubled country through a move?
I'm not sure anyone else can answer this, either, but I'm interested if anyone has thoughts on my question and the response.
Thank you!

Relationship Questions
Hi everyone,
I am recently rather bothered about my boyfriend's ex girlfriend. They were in a long term relationship which ended some time mid last year, and we got together few months ago, everything was happy until I realized they have been keeping in contact because she would still confide in him. I kept it in until few days ago I talked to him about this and he told me things in his position, that it's not possible to totally ignore her but he cares for her just as a friend. He gave me assurance and promised to lessen the contact, and I discontinued the topic.
I asked I-Ching
What is my position in his heart? 26.3 to 41.
At first sight I kind of focused on the 41 decreasing and I thought my position in his heart is decreasing.
However I came across an interpretation of from one of the threads: If you acquire something beautiful or precious, you also acquire the worries, duties and care that go with it. Accept them as being part of it, do not see them as negative but as essential parts of your life. A careless life without possessions can be alluring, but a life with care and possessions, and the ability to cope with them, is complete.
Is this applicable for my type of question?
What is her position in his heart? 48 uc
It speaks about nourishment and resource, I feel maybe she is someone whom have deep connections with him because of their past which will not change?
How will we progress after the talk that day? 1.2.4 to 37
This seems positive to me because of 37.
Appreciate any insights, thanks

Connecting judgments to images: Hexagram 1
Hi there,
In the spirit of the threads about unchanging hexagrams, and because of some of the discussion in this thread, I thought it might be a fun experiment to see if we can come up with links between the judgment text and and the image text for all the hexagrams. And I expect there to be hearty discussion and disagreement :)
I was thinking I might post a new thread like this once a week or so, approximately.
So let's start with hexagram 1.
In WB's translation (and feel free to bring in others! I know there are critical differences) the judgment is:
"The Creative works sublime success, furthering through perseverance."
And the image is:
"The movement of heaven is full of power. Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring."
So I would note here that the image does not say that the superior one acts on the external world. It says that he makes himself strong and untiring.
In the judgment, I'd argue that the sublimity here refers to the world of imagination and ideas, to the world of forms from which our existence is modeled, that pure sphere of creativity beyond ordinary thought.
So that's the place to which you're advised to connect yourself. That is how you make yourself a strong, untiring instrument of something beyond the human mind that then works through you, that then leads through you (by which we get to hex 2).
It's almost like infusing yourself with creative energy. It's delving into the world of imagination and instinct and drawing excitement and energy and strength from there, from the sublime realm of heaven.
It's like charging yourself up like this ball of lightning with electrical energy by connecting with the divine aspect of yourself, and it's like that deep breath which says "Get ready!" right before something explosive is about to happen.

Hexagram 41.2.5 >42 what needs to be eliminated
Hey all :) I hope everyone is happy and healthy. Wondering if anyone had any insight into the advice Ive been offered. My question was: what needs to be eliminated in this situation? I asked this question specifically after receiving Hex 30.6 For the question: please offer me advice on how best to tackle this situation. I took 30.6 to mean evaluate carefully which elements are worth keeping and what needs to be eliminated. Maybe Im double dipping and over asking rather than doing the surrendering work which will allow the answer to become apparent. But 🤷🏻*♀️ Im here and I asked and am now hoping someone not tangled in the mire can help me to better understand. My interpretation of The answer. Im thinking its saying: stop trying to bring order to this. Stop trying to control it. There is a strong creative force moving that it will resolve naturally.

Prospect of returning to my old dept - Hexagram 59
Dear brothers and sisters,I worked in an organization for 10+ years now. A year ago (Jun 2018), I asked for transfer from my old to this new department of mine (still within the same organization). However, things have gone down-hill since 5 months into the transfer (around Nov 2018). I realized a great mis-fit in terms of the nature of the work, the culture and how my strengths are not leveraged at all.I wanted to go back to my old department and asked the I-Ching on my prospect of returning. I obtained the hexagram 59. I've read and re-read the text and it seemed to morph with new meaning each time I read.My interpretation of the reading is that the oracle is prompting me to change my perspective of this new department and that I am "suffering" because of my assumption and perspective. It also seemed to suggest that I should remain in here. However, I've been diagnosed with anxiety disorder since working here. More importantly, the oracle didn't quite answer whether the transfer back to my old department will take place.Brothers and sisters, I hope to also gain the wisdom of your interpretations.

31 vs 44 In relationship
I saw a thread regarding 44 vs 31 in relationship. I cant find it now but I have recently had some very visceral experiences with each of these hexagrams in the context of relationship and thought Id share in case they are helpful. Id love to hear your experiences too. (Excuse the hearts just for spacing)💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🤗Hex 44 : the relationship, and the way I felt about it was almost compulsive. It felt like an overwhelming energy that was consuming me. I had an extremely hard time staying centered and an even more difficult time not being lost to the energy. It felt really good to be that consumed but also terrifying. Fear of losing myself to it was distinct. I was mainly pulling 44.3,44.1. Although in 44.1 there was definitely frustration because this force was very strong but restricted somehow so just piling up inside with no outlet. it was a very weird sensation. The 44.5 there was distance between myself and the energy. It was very large still but the wrapping felt like a gentle container so I wasnt so overwhelmed. I dont take this Hex to mean dont take the woman I take it to mean Im not ready for it. That the energy is bigger than me and I am in peril because I cant stay centered in it, it will consume me. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓😍💓💓💓Hex 31 felt sweet. Gentle. Like butterflies in my tummy, walks along the beach all things romantic. It just felt good. None of the fear of 44. This was especially true for 31 UC. It did not knock me off balance or overwhelm me, it was perfectly palatable. The only tough one was 31.3 where I didnt want the romancey feelings to end so I felt a little pulled into the past and memory rather than active enjoyment. Just thought Id share. I understand things best viscerally so figured there might be others out there like that too.

My own child...
I am curious if I will ever have my own child. This is my biggest desire.
43.1.5>32
Line 1. One makes a mistake and is not equal to the task. Does this mean a pregnancy by mistake?
Line 5. I think this line can show a pregnancy. Sth that is rooted into the womb. Perhaps.
32 and the fetus endures.
