Hello!
I talked about the stressful situation i'm living in a previous thread. On that premise (end of my relationship with the gf) a friend from afar asked me if i would like to go to his city for two or three days to let off some steam. I'm on a week off from work right now, and while i would like to see him at the same time i would also like to spend the week at home relaxing myself a bit. Going at his place would mean travelling 600 km and returning the day before restarting work, so while i would have fun for sure, i wouldn't be able to relax a lot.
I asked the i ching if it's a good idea to go, what i need to know if i go, and what i need to know if i decide to stay at home.
it's a good idea to go? Hex 11 unchanging.
I interpret this as a positive answer. Harmony, peace, success.
What do i need to know if i go? 2.1 to 24
It seems advice to be receptive to all the events and situation that will happen during the trip. The change to 24, turning point, i see as positive. Maybe the trip will be the turning point that start my recovery from the lost relationship. However the line leading to 24 doesn't appear much positive, talking about the coming of ice and such. Wilhelm talk about taking precaution. However in my situation the ice has already came, and i hope this turning point will be the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. What do you think?
What do i need to know if i stay? 49.1 to 31
The original meaning seems to be advice in case of political revolutions. Seems to me in my situation this revolution could be an argument? "In the world cycle also there are spring and autumn in the life of peoples and nations, and these call for social transformations."
Line 1 changing to 24 isn't that positive here either. Legge sees it as acting prematurely, Wilhelm gives advice to act only if the time is right.
Seems to me if i decide to stay home, it's better to stay home for real because if i go "social" i should take great care not to engage in situations i'm not ready to deal with.
What do you think?
