Which choice is better? First option with question: "is it good if i choose to accept X's offer?" 1.6 to 43Please help..because it says the dragon flies too high and is lost with remorse... But is it about losing the opportunity or is there a better reading?!?!Second option: is it good if i go to this place and cowork with X? 4.2.3.4 to 56I thought it was good but i still havent got the informatiin i need to evaluate better.. Line 2 says to be patient with the young person and it is good to have a wife at home. Line 3 says not have that girl as wife and if she sees the bronze man she throws herself away. Line 4 says the mad person is closed and humiliation comes.But i dont get if it is about working with young people ir if it doesnt suggest me to go there because i would only get the "muddy" work to do.. The leftovers... Its my opinion but i dont have the right book that explains me

Gotten this twice for two different readings today 57.2.3

Earlier today i asked a question about a manifestation method
I got 57.2

Today i later had an argument with a family member so i left to live somewhere else.
I was planning on looking at an apartment earlier this week but cancelled

Now i'm thinking i should probably go for it, so i asked Is it good timing to book a viewing for that flat?
It's just that there's so many factors to consider, my situation is delicate
I got 57.2.3 > 20

Subtly Penetrating > Seeing


Line 2

'Subtly penetrating under the bed,
Using historians and diviners of many kinds.
Good fortune, no mistake.'


Line 3

'Subtly penetrating with urgency – shame.'

So earlier when I read this I got some impressions of confusion with the divination from what I read somewhere, or maybe seeking deeper knowledge that isn't obvious

But then line 3 is changing too and I get an impression overall that I shouldn't jump to the conclusion of looking for another place just yet, it's too fast?
Also the fact that it leads to seeing which says

"When you stop searching, what comes into view?"
"Washing hands, and not making the offering"

I last time asked if I should view the flat, I got a no, then I got an abundant reading in response to the fact that I cancelled the viewing.

I feel like it's telling me i'm not seeing something, or that I don't understand something about my situation, which I absolutely cannot pinpoint, it all feels very cryptic and I feel quite powerless, although I am doing my best to see beyond challenges so it's not all bad, but certainly the I ching readings feel like I am in a position where I shouldn't change anything out there

YouTube Adpolycause 2.0: 45.4 to 8 and 56.1.6 to 55

An independent news channel started telling viewers about what can be monetized or not. Some videos got demonetized but lost 48 hours of revenue after appeal. Others got age-restricted, which does not help with recommendations. Others got flat-out demonetized even after appeal. I asked, "What is going on with the YouTube adpolycause?" 45.4 Gathering to 8 Seeking Union. Line 4 says, "Great good fortune, no mistake." How can this be good fortune, even if YouTuber get screwed again? I then asked, "How will the adpolycause 2.0 screw YouTube creators?" 56.1.6 Travelling to 55 Abundance. Line 1 says, "The traveller - fragmented and bitty, Chops up his place and courts disaster." Will creators get little to nothing? Line 6 says, "The bird burns its nest. Travelling people first laugh, afterwards cry out and weep. Lose cattle in Yi. Pitfall." This sounds similar to the question concerning my orders from Amazon Japan. Will there be an outcry?

Blog post: Complementary hexagrams and direction

I hope this post will make sense. It’s something I thought of in the small hours of the morning when I couldn’t sleep, and started counting complementary hexagrams instead of sheep (as you do…) –
Here’s a picture of the Sequence of Hexagrams:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

Hm… maybe that could do with some explanation:

  • Each complementary pair (including the ones that are inverse pairs as well) is represented with ( ).
  • Every other pair is represented by an arrow: facing forward if that pair’s complement is ahead of it in the Sequence, facing backward if it’s behind it. You can think of it as which way the hexagrams are ‘looking’ to find the patterns that complement them.
  • The curly brackets don’t represent hexagrams – they just enclose groups of hexagrams that are one another’s complements. The big, orange brackets enclose the Vessel Casting group, 3-50; the others enclose hexagrams 7-16, 37-40 and 51-60. (I could have added more brackets around 51-64, but I thought we’d got enough to be going on with.) If you’re a Change Circle member, you may already be aware of a lot of very lovely – and very meaningful – patterns and reflections created inside those curly brackets that I described in the Exploring the Sequence book last year.
  • The little blue letters identify some interesting moments.

Now of course, you’d expect more of the hexagrams in the first half of the book to be looking forward to find their complements, and most of those in the second half to be looking back. The fun starts when you look at the exceptions: the moments when the expected flow forward or backward changes direction.
At ‘a’, you get the first hexagrams to look back to find their complement. Since we entered the Vessel Casting set, each pair has been looking forward – until you reach Hexagram 12, Blocked:

Clik here to view.

That turns us around to look back. I’ve written about this structure, and the historical moment I think it encodes, in Exploring the Sequence – but even without that level of detail, isn’t it interesting that Hexagram 12 should be the one to compel us to look back?
We start looking forward again at ‘b’. That’s Hexagram 19, Nearing:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

We go past the complementary pairs at the end of the Upper Canon – 27/28, 29/30 – and into the Lower Canon, where (at ‘c’) we find the first backward-looking arrow for a while – at Hexagram 33, Retreat,
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
…which as you see is the complement of 19. 19 is about going forward, and 33 is about going back. (Also, from hexagrams 19/20 to 33/34 inclusive makes eight pairs. ‘Arrival at the eighth month…’?)
The letter ‘d’ marks a unique moment, when complementary/opposite hexagrams are adjacent in the Sequence without being part of a complementary pair. By this point it might not surprise you that this moment’s marked with Hexagram 38, Opposing.
As you can see from the arrows, this is another moment of changing direction. Travelling south and west instead of north and east, perhaps. Coming instead of going, as you might say: turning around.
‘Above the mountain, there is water. Limping.
Noble one turns himself around to renew his character.’
(Hexagram 39, the Image)
From then until the end of the Vessel Casting pattern at Hexagram 50, every pair is ‘coming back’. It takes a full-size Shock to flip us around again and make us look forward.
Really, you might think someone had done this on purpose.
Once you start looking at where individual pairs find their complements, there’s more to see. For instance, the greatest distance between two complementary pairs is that between 3 and 50: it takes a long time to complete a Vessel. The second greatest distance begins with Hexagram 5, which has to Wait until Hexagram 35 for its complement. (Oddly enough, 3/4, 5/6, 35/36 and 49/50 are eight of the twelve ‘Steps of Change’ reached by changing single lines in 63/64, at the very end. The remaining four are 37/38 and 39/40, the closest complements.)
(And isn’t the third-biggest distance between 21, Biting Through, and 48, the Well, two hexagrams about closing or bridging a gap?)
(Add your own parentheses ad lib; there is so much to this book that we haven’t yet seen. I can’t recommend it as a soporific, though.)

partner of a colleague has cancer, will he heal himself? HEX 46 UC

To me it means that the success is possible but it will require long work and a gradual process, no quantum leap here. He had a throat cancer, very young man (30 years old). They treated it with chemo, then it came back in the stomach - they cut part of the stomach. Then it came back in the liver. he comes from a war-ridden country , had very bad childhood and a lot of traumas. I provided her some support and gave advice, but to me it is clear he has to start the healing on the side of his soul, too. Not only from the physical sense (as stupid doctors said its basically over, so then what a patient should just commit suicide? So stupid!!! Situations like this one are making me angry and from my own experience I know that stressing yourself is the LAST thing you want to do with such diagnosis) How do you guys interpret this casting in this situation? I don't want to give he a sense of false hope based only on I Ching even though I have no problems with that but it would be irresponsible.

ignore this

Sorry -- I decided it was a bad idea to ask about this publicly. Can't figure out how to completely delete it.

To wait or not to wait

Hi All,

I turn to the Yi when I have doubts about what the right thing to for *me* is.

I just lost my dog, best friend and constant companion of 16 years. Of all the dogs I have had, he was "the dog of my life", the mutual connection was quite incredible. I work at home, so we were together almost 24/7 and I took him nearly everywhere with me. He had a huge fan club and all agree he was the most kind and gentle and joyful soul they had ever met. The things I enjoy doing most - going for long walks in the country daily & gardening - hold little appeal at this point because there is no sharing. I kick myself in the arse to stick my nose out of the house and am perfectly capable of being a near total hermit.

I waited over 2 years to adopt a new cat (many discussions on this thread about bringing her back to Europe! She is doing fine, misses her pal, but all the rock and roll to get her here was worth it) after losing "the cat of my life" after 21 years. It made no difference: the new cat was the new cat, with a very different personality and we have built a very different relationship from the one I had with my former cat. I still miss him. The new cat is not a substitute, she is a whole new deal.

Folks are giving me a fair amount of grief about my already starting to think about adopting another dog. They feel I am not allowing myself to grieve and that failure to grieve is bad for me. Oh, but I am grieving, and shall be for some time. There is a difference between missing MY dog (which will alwas be true) and missing having A dog, because i've had dogs all my life, because there are so many that need to be rescued, because much of my life is organized around having a dog, because without a dog I can easily become a hermit. A cat enriches my inside life, a dog enriches my outside life. I don't feel I am skipping grieving steps by envisaging adopting another dog in the quite near future.

So I turn to the Yi to clarify things.

Q1: Please assess my readiness to adopt so soon? 62.3.4 to 2
The changing lines don't sound very comforting, like I have to be careful, I could be struck down (by what?) but the resulting hex seems to fit my character of nurturing mother of openness to creatures from nature. Thus, answer not clear to me.

Q2: Why do I feel the urge to get a dog so quickly? 63.2 to 5
63 already across, decision made. Line 2 losing the carriage screen, don't go after it , it comes back in 7 days. The carriage screen as my departed dog? of course I can't run after him and he can't come back after 7 days... but another dog lands in my lap? Changes to 5, waiting, which also can mean hope, and looking forward rather than going to search> I don't search for the dog that would be suitable for me to adopt, he/she will come?

Q3: What would be the effect of waiting to adopt as many urge me to do? 47 UC
Confined.
What was I saying at the beginning? ha ha ha

Your insights will be invaluable :bows:

Hex 18uc : Confirmation

what's happening:
after 30 years, i prepare to leave this valley ~ a beautiful valley that was always a source of strength and joy. my sense of attachment was great, fruitful, nurturing to the fullest, enriching my life immeasurably. my life was saved here; my soul was at home.

with the passing of 2 individuals who brought me to this valley and kept me happily employed here, i took their material bequests and misused them. wishing to stay here in the valley for the rest of my life, i purchased one of very few available cabins here. the market here is exceptionally hot & there was nothing else available to me but this cabin.

this cabin has nothing to recommend it but location in this valley. there is no yard for gardening; it sits on a main road, with continual traffic passing within yards of my window. my neighbors are both noisy and unfriendly. just to my east, a rifle range; unfriendly strangers come & go. my well is poor. there is no light in the winter months, as the cabin faces north.
nothing that i require for peace of mind is here.
in fact, the situation is aggravating a chronic immune disorder, as i feel stressed and trapped.
in the year since i purchased it, i've become too ill to manage it. it just cannot work.
my engagement here is a downward spiral. i must disengage.
if i were to sell the cabin, there's absolutely nothing else to purchase here now at all, in this hot market. a rental is out of the question; there are none. i will be squeezed out of the valley all the way.

meanwhile, i've become too ill to socialize, so friends i thought i had in this valley have cut me from their lives. i'm inconvenient, i'm unreliable.
employers in the valley have no use for me, as i'm too ill to work. i'm quickly spending the remainder of my loved ones' bequests and will soon have nothing.

my attachment to this valley has suddenly become dark, restricting, depleting. circumstances conspire to push me out of the valley and away, toward i know not what. what is now clear: my attachment to the valley is no longer fruitful or nurturing; it's confining, it's sickening. i must disengage from the valley ~ slough off my attachment, turn bravely from the familiar, strike out toward another place that can nurture me just as fruitfully at the time of life i now face.
i have invitations, portals to a new beginning elsewhere in this mountain range.

this means, on the material level, pulling what i might require from the piles of stuff i've hoarded here and junking the rest, clearing out the cabin so that it might be marketed successfully to buyers. the crap that i've pulled around me like a mouse making a nest is just heavy now. it's trash. it cements my attachment to this valley and keeps me weighted to my situation.

when i asked Yi: 'what is my position right now?' my answer was 18 uc: corruption. the reading is positive; it invites me to consider what no longer serves, in what i possess and to dispose of it in order to move forward with necessary changes and continued growth.

what's been corrupted is my attachment to this valley, my relationship to it, my place in it and what it can offer me.
with that, my self image as a dweller of this valley, as someone nurtured and sustained by it, given joy and meaning, is also corrupted. my identity is changing along with my circumstance. they're one thing, together.

it's time to slough off what's become disabling in order to move ahead.
coupled with other readings, Yi assures me i'm on track in my thinking. there's nothing to be gained by remaining stuck in my past, as beautiful as it is. i must pull my own roots from this soil and look for a friendlier place for my growth.
there is danger in uprooting myself for sure, but it's also dangerous to stay, constricted and depleted further.

once again Yi articulates what's occurring for me in response to my question. hopefully this reading can help you find the meaning of Hexagram 18 for yourself.

Having trouble formatting or editing your posts?

This forum has a couple of known bugs that we unfortunately haven't been able to get fixed:

Paragraphs

You create a post with nicely-spaced paragraphs, but it posts as a single block of text.

The first workaround for this is to change your message editor settings:

  • Open the General Settings page.
  • Towards the bottom of the page, find the 'Message Editor Interface' settings.
  • Select the 'Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls' option.
  • Click 'Save changes' at the bottom of the page.


A second workaround is to change your browser: the bug may disappear if you switch to Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer.

Editing your posts

When you click the 'edit post' button, you see a spinning circle, but the editor never loads.

The workaround for this is to edit the post in a new tab:

  • On a computer, right-click/ command-click the 'edit post' button to get the 'open in new tab' option.
  • On a phone or tablet, tap and hold the 'edit post' button to see the 'open in new tab' option.


Select the 'open link in new tab' option and you should be able to edit your post normally.

Marriage for Material interest?

Hi all,I recently started to have a doubt about my husband about one important point. When we were dating (3years ago) we moved in together and at some point (2 years together) we remortgage my house together which was completely on my name and then with the remortgage we shared the house with certain shares in my favour 60/40. Few months after we spoke about doing this remortgage together we started the process and during the process of the remortgage he proposed to me. Now I m having a doubt that he married me for material interest and because of my financial stability which he didn’t have before. We are married for less than a year and I would like to clear this point. I asked the oracle 2 times and I obtained the response that gives me some trouble on understanding. 1. First reading come out with 18 - 5th line (6) and it becomes 572. Second line come out with 33 - 2nd line (6), 4th line (9), 5th line (9) and it become 18 Could you help me and give me your interpretation on the oracle response please? Thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.

worth unpacking 11.2>36

A couple of months ago I thought I would be relocating for a job so I packed up most of my possessions but the job fell through so since then I'm surrounded by packed boxes and just have the minimal things I need. I can live like this but I like to create a home not just house for practical purposes. As it's a high unemployment area I'm still seeking work elsewhere but to no avail so far and I wonder if it's worth just resetting up my home until things do change.What's it worth to me to reset up my home Hexagram 11.2>36Yes Hexagram 36 my things are hidden and I'm feeling a bit flat and feel a bit adrift. In Line 2 it suggests crossing a river, which literally speaking I would have to, and any job would be quite a distance from here. It feels to me it's saying don't unpack you'll be soon crossing the river and leaving friends behind.

Hexagram 28, an unclear answer

Dear all,I'm new here, even if I have been lurking into this amazing site for some time now. I am italian, for that reason I excuse myself for my poor English, and I would really appreciate if you ask me if something is not clear enough. I have asked 2 similar questions about my relationship with my partner and the answer has been almost the same!The first one was :"which kind of woman should I be to trigger his emotional side (even unconsciously) in the best possible way?" I casted 28 unchanging Since this answer was quite confusing to me I made a second question. The second one was : "how should I act in order to get his unconditional love?" I casted 28.1.2.5 > 55It's also remarkable that I casted 55 unchanging A couple of weeks ago when I asked why I didn't feel completely loved by him. I often feel insecure about my relationship, but if I have to be honest about it, it's not entirely due to his attitude towards me, it mostly depends on an inner feeling that I have. I really don't understand what the I ching tries to tell me.. I'm usually quite good in finding the right explanation... But now I really don't have a clue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all

Readings vs Medical Dx (26.1.6, 32.4, 21.1.4)

In February, I woke one day with a painful, achy lump seemingly in my ear/throat/neck... I noticed my shoulder blade was tender when I massaged the route of the pain, but didn't know what could be wrong.

"Reason for neck throat pain", I ask: 26.1.6 to 46

I imagined something starting to grow, or push through my neck. I'd been doing a liquid cleanse and exercising, and also feeling faint when I moved even a little, but the lump and pain was my biggest worry. I called my doctor, and was told "We take all lumps about the head or neck seriously; please go to urgent care." Once there, the doctor said he felt something near my thyroid, and ordered a CAT scan.

"Energies governing lump in neck": 32.4 to 46

I'm convinced something is growing. I feel it. They felt it. The 46 confirms it, I thought. Then the doctor returns and pulls a seat to my bed. He tells me my potassium is scary low, and if pills and a 4 hour potassium IV didn't bring me into normal range, I'd be admitted, but let's get ready for the CAT scan. I'm shaking. My son is home alone, my battery is dying, I'm thinking I'M dying...

"Result of CAT scan", I ask: 21.1.4 to 23

I prepare for the worst. I saw the 23 and assumed I'd have something that needed to be split from me. Surgery, for sure. The tech who administered the test was jovial when I came in, but seemed somber when he bid me "good luck" as i was rolled back to the emergency room.

The result? Nothing. No lump. No swelling. Nothing strange at all. The lump my doctor felt? Just normal tissue and fat. The potassium depletion, however, was due to my having been releasing more fluids via crash dieting than I was putting back in. The "globular sensation" I felt was from pulling a muscle that ran from my shoulder into my head, but possibly also a dried parotid (salivary) gland. I'd been foolish about losing weight quickly, and nearly died (my heart was erratic without potassium).

Would any of you have seen that I had nothing, kinda, to worry about in re the lump? Did any reading show what was happening in me? Did the lines correlate with my body in some way? I've been rereading these for weeks now, and decided to see if someone else can tell what the Yi was revealing. Still a novice, perhaps obviously, but eager to enhance my ability to interpret how the Yi talks to me. Thanks for any help.

Trump's War on Media: 9.1.3 to 59, 38.1.4 to 4, and 39.1.6 to 36

A new poll that most of the people believe that the media is fake and that liberal ideologies are harming the country. However, independents are turning away from Republicans.

My first question is, "Will Trump's war on media help him in 2020?" 9.1.3 Small Taming to 59 Dispersing.
Line 1 says, "Returning to your own path, How could you be wrong? Good fortune." This line confuses me. Can this be that this is the only way to keep his supporters?
Line 3 says, "A cart losing its wheel spokes. Husband and wife avert their eyes." Can this be that people are turning away?

My second question is, "How much more attacks on the media will we expect from Trump?" 38.1.4 Opposing to 4 Not Knowing.
Line 1 says, "Regrets vanish. Lost horse: don't pursue it, it returns of itself. See hateful people – no mistake." Does this mean that it will backfire?
Line 4 says, "Opposed, alone. Meet an inspiring man. Joining together in truth and confidence. Danger, no mistake." Can the inspiring man be people from Fox News magnifying his attacks, but also backfire?

My third question is, "Are Democrats in danger of losing in 2020?" 39.1.6 Limping to 36 Brightness Hidden.
Line 1 says, "Going on, limping; coming back, praise." Can this be that they are still holding on, even the odds are against them?
Line 6 says, "Greatly limping; partners come." Will they gain support and win?

Can I count on him? 35 changes to 4

So I am preparing to tell a guy I have been dating for about one year, to move in with me.
In the house, still lives another guy (we sleep in separate rooms and are like friends), and I want to ask him to leave.
My question was: If I do make the move, can I count on my boyfriend to support me in the process? Got 35, lines 2 and 4 changing to hex 4.
Any suggestions will be appreciated - thanks :)

How do I deal with a sociopath? 26 .1.3. 4 to 64

I asked yi about dealing with a sociopath. Line 1 agrees that this person is bad. Line 2 is asking me to tame him? Perhaps put him in His place? Line 4..uggh what is that? A young bull's horn board? Changing hex 64 shows that l should share news with him that l'm doing great , and hurt his ego? Perhaps be like the wise fox as the ice is thin , and he might want to hurt me psychologically. I have to be smarter than him. Any other suggestions?

Kirstjen Nielsen's Departure: 29 uc and 59.3.6 to 48

Now that Kirstjen Nielsen departed, it would get worst for immigrants.

I asked, "What is Stephen Miller up to?" 29 uc Repeating Chasms. Is he getting much more hardline?

I then asked, "What will happen to immigrants now that Kirstjen Nielsen departed?" 59.3.6 Dispersing to 48 The Well.
Line 3 says, "Dispersing your self Without regrets." Will they be living in fear?
Line 6 says, "Dispersing blood. Leave, go out and far away. Not a mistake." Will we see more separated families at the border die in captivity?

Jungian Typology and Trigrams

HelloHow do Jung and Typology relate?But Trigram Heaven ... I don't know for sureWhat do you think?Peace

30.1.3.6 to 16

Hello Friends,The on and off again contact with X took a turn in January when I asked to meet and was told that he has a lot of things he has been putting off and now wants to complete. These things currently are his priority. And "why cannot I wait until he comes to me?" I recently gave X a written card stating that I see all he has on his plate and that I will wait because I love him and he is worth it to me. I asked Yi "What is a likely outcome of giving X the card I wrote?"I got 30.1.3.6 changing to hexagram 16. The hexagram 16 gave me hope but I am not so good at interpreting.I would be grateful for help in reading this. Thank you.

did he? 3.2

I asked if my ex, who was very tender towards me but would never commit, ever loved me, and received 3.2. I guess it just reflects my answer back to me - he couldn't commit. Funny, I really felt he loved me - truly - I could never sort out the contradiction. Any thoughts on what this line is telling me?

Thank you.
