Postgraduate Study? 2.3 > 15

Hello everyone,

As some of you already know from my snivelling last post, I’ve been kind of struggling to make sense of my life - as well as make a living - for the best part of 2018. Still, I managed to finish my last novel, and am querying literary agents atm, as well as applying for “day” work. And thinking: with my writing career being so unpredictable, and the day-jobs so badly paid, how about I start doing things differently?

So I’m now looking into a possibility of taking a postgraduate course in creative writing, with one of the most prestigious schools in this country, no less. I’d get to write, and become part of something bigger than just the lil ol me, and maybe even teach in the future (service). This is a big u-turn for someone who used to insist that ‘A poet is born - not bloody made!’ Humbling, for sure. Thing is, all I see is problems. Like I don’t have the money, and could only do it on a scholarship. And, even if I do get in, can I actually be taught anymore? Also, it would mean moving to another town. I don’t like where I’m at, but a move?? And what about my younger son? OMG.

I asked Yi to give me an insight into this whole postgraduate course idea, and I was promptly given 2.3 > 15.

Now, I get hexagram 2 a lot, but (almost) never as the first hexagram. What’s that all about?

Another thing - I can interpret the hexagrams and lines individually, but I’m not too sure how to interpret the actual reading. It's a bit like astrology - I know where my sun sign’s at, and my ascendent, and my Moon, even my Lilith, but it’s how they work together that make me who I am. So any thoughts on 2.3 > 15: The Reading would be much appreciated.
