Someone tried to break in Sunday night by breaking back door, one more kick and they would have got in. I'm a solo mom, with 2 young kids. I yelled, and they ran off.
What if I stay in this house?
23.4 Stripping the bed by way of the flesh.
Sounds like next time, they might get in and we might get attacked. I certainly hope not.
What if I move to another house in this city?
55.1.3.4 to 2 Abundance to Receptive
Line 1
'Meeting your partner and lord,
Though for ten days, no mistake.
Going on brings honour.'
Line 3
'Feng is flooded with darkness,
At midday, seeing a froth of light.
Your right arm broken not a mistake.'
Line 4
'Feng is screened off
At midday, seeing the Dipper.
Meeting your hidden lord good fortune.
Sounds like it would be okay, but the 3rd line about broken arm reflects that I don't really want to be here. Work and school is what has kept me here.
What if I move to another city where my close friends live?
Hexagram 31 unchanging
Influence - I'm not sure how to fully interpret this one to fit my situation, but I guess it reflects why I want to be there, as that's where I'm happiest...but maybe there is more to it that I'm not seeing?
Influence, creating success.
Constancy bears fruit.
Taking a woman, good fortune.'
Influence is what moves people, and how people are open and available to be moved by emotion or inspiration, physical responses or visiting spirits. All these things touch, stir and attract us, drawing us into relationship. The Chinese character for 'influence' shows a mouth and a weapon: the influence goes deep, and makes us vulnerable.
It is good to respond to the power of influence with constancy, steadying the motion it inspires and creating a place in your life to contain it. The man who 'takes a woman' in marriage brings her into his home and makes room for her there. Good fortune comes from this more feminine way of relating: being open and allowing space for new influences.
All above are Hilary Barrett translations.
Please provide other insights if you can.
Thank you
