A dilemma: a very dear friend of mine is getting married, but the wedding is happening where her parents live, 900 miles away. We're such close friends that she also invited my mother, who very much wants to go. I have a baby, who is difficult to travel with. My husband teaches and the wedding is the same week his classes resume, so he might not even be able to go (we're waiting to get his final schedule from administrators). We've debated driving, flying, etc. and haven't figured out what makes sense. The wedding is not anywhere easily accessible near the airport, so we'd need to rent a car if we flew or else rely on two expensive cab rides longer than hour each way, and wrangle installing the carseat for them. The hotels nearby are pricey. All together, it will cost more than $1000 to go, unless we drive, and it's 28 hours round trip of driving, not counting all the extra baby stops (she loathes the carseat). I could go on. It's tough!
So, I asked Yi, what should we do about the wedding? 41.1.4.6->40
Is Yi telling me to stop right here and not go? Honestly, the thought of not going never crossed my mind until I got this reading. Lines 1 and 4 ring loud and clear- "Bringing your own business to an end, going swiftly--not a mistake. Considering decreasing it." and "Decreasing your affliction. Sending the message swiftly brings rejoicing-- not a mistake." Is this suggesting withdrawing, moving away from how difficult this is, and letting her know? On the other hand, Line 6 seems encouraging to go. The line from 40 "To turn round and come back is good fortune" also resonates, but towards not going.
Thoughts, anyone? I'm not ready to travel without my baby, either, that's off the table.
Thank you, all!
