My first post - hence first of all I would like to thank you all for this wonderful forum! The background to my question is as follows: There has been some (painful) upheaval in my life recently (mainly professionell), and I have come to the conclusion that I need a fresh start (I have been with my current employer for 20 yrs). Making this decision has lifted a burden off me, and in fact I feel better than I have in years to be honest. At present, I am still with my old company, and as of now nobody is aware that I plan to leave preferably within the next 6 months. In February I will fly abroad to meet a longtime professional acquaintance who is on the Board of Directors of an International Organisation. I do very much hope that he will be willing to help me to find a new position in the Organisation he works for (I am accredited with heaps of relevant experience; however, some lobbying on my behalf and an influential advocate does not hurt). A lot depends on this trip (mainly professionally, but possibly also personally). I asked the following question:What do I need to do in order to ensure that my trip to XYZ will lead to success (professionell) and happiness (personal, maybe even romance)?I received: 11.2.5 > 63My amateur interpretion: 11 Tai is auspicious and may predict success and good fortune. Those in high places (aforesaid acquaintance) show favours to those in lower positions (me). Line 2: Doing your duty, attending scrupulously to details? Such as preparing my case well? Brushing up my CV and identifying my added value for the Organisation? Line 5: 'King Yi marries off his daughters. This brings fulfilment, good fortune from the source.' (??? This line befuddles me.)63 Already Across / After Completion: The Interpretation given by this site makes perfect sense in some ways: "You have committed yourself and made a Transition (TRUE!). Even if the change so far is internal (TRUE!), a resolve formed or decision made (TRUE!), there is a sense in which everything is in place (NOT QUITE YET...). Now you create success in small ways and in small things: you attend to details, working with what you've already decided or achieved. (...) Work with what you've accomplished so far, and keep your momentum: keep on beginning (???)." Other books refer to having reached the pinnacle which necessitate the utmost caution in order to avoid chaos. Hmm. How to make sense of this regarding my situation and question? I struggle somewhat with the interpretation of 63 because the books I usually refer to regard the relating hexagram as the future / the final outcome. Now, I do understand that this forum usually interprets the relating hexagram differently - more as background or one's own perspective. Maybe both interpretations are possible?So... I would so very much appreciate your take on these hexagrams and changing lines. Many thanks in advance!
