I received 3 unchanging when I asked "What is love?"
I saw people lying against one another, half asleep, moving against each other, fitting themselves toward each other — and thought “that’s hex 3"
Yi Dream I take a detour on the way to see someone and get terribly lost. I am no longer in my city...I'm going though countryside, then I'm in another town. All this time I am getting later and later for my appt. I ask people the way. Sometimes I'm driving, sometimes on foot. On the street no one knows at all which direction my home town is in. This is very odd as I was there a moment ago and I am wondering how I can be so lost. As I'm struggling...maybe I park my motorbike to ask more people, I over hear a woman on a phone talking about hexagram 3. I'm quite surprised and want to wait for her to finish talking so I can tell her about Clarity and so on and tell her I do I Ching and so on and so on...but at the back of my mind I have these other problems. I need to get to the appt and I need to find my way but I'm also interested in how hexagram 3 comes into this because hexagram 3 starts seeming more interesting than the other problems...or I sort of think hexagram 3 is the answer to the problem. Also I find it highly synchronistic and coincidental that a woman just happens to be talking about hexagram 3 on the phone near to where I happen to be asking the way. I start talking to her and kind of draw on the wall a sort of map of how she can access Clarity...does she know about it ? Meanwhile I'm also aware I am meant to be getting un lost and getting to the appt. At one point I am both trying to talk to her and also ask passers by about the way. I'm really trying to work things out and I think if these people don't know where my home town is is how the heck will I ever find my way. Then I think maybe if I ask them where they are then I can work it out from there. However they don't even seem to know where they are ! I'm puzzling this out.....thinking so hard. How can I find the way when no one knows where they are .?....As I surface to consciousness I struggle to think of the thing I need. It is of course a map !! Then I'd know where I was in relation to where I want to be....I think.
I notice the complementary hexagram is 50.
That's interesting. I'm in one of my usual funks because I'm in the usual tangle of my life being very stagnant and needing to make changes that better support my physical and mental and emotional health issues, but nothing is moving despite all the internal energy work I've been doing and I don't have what is required in order for me to be able to change my situation so my health can stabilise.I love that Knot. It feels so true, like twins in a womb...but also what people just do. I notice the complementary hexagram is 50. Hex 3 brings people and things into connection, formations, cell divisions, beginnings of formations of all kinds. Hexagram 50 cooks em so they can be used and created and made into something that hasn't been made before !
Not sure how much sense that makes....I think it needs some kind of 3/50 poem ...Anyway.....

Like millions of other people round the world I guess, being constrained by lack of money (another type of energy of course) and housing because the system in the west is so utterly corrupt.
In despair I Eeyore-ily told Yi, "My life feels totally over." Result: 50UC.
As a follow-up I asked, "What does this 50UC indicate I need to be cooking to have a transformed life?": 3UC
Cooking With Chaos. Yum yum.
It all feels very ethereal to me. I'm left with the impression that as usual. I'm pushing too hard and trying to consciously solve things with reason where maybe this is all bubbling away on a much deeper level so not requiring that kind of efficient engagement.
Sorry this isn't an example of my experience as such. I just thought this might possibly be helpful for anyone else with the complementary hex aspect but I dunno, maybe not.
This is pretty funny! But wow what a dunce of a doctor lolI don’t know if we can keep three threads on this subject of Unchanging Hexagrams going at one time [see similar threads for Hexagram One and Two] but having more in play might allow others who are waiting for a particular hexagram to join us – so maybe we should try?
By the way.....There is a separate thread in Exploring Divination for general ideas on unchanging castings entitled "Your Experiences with Unchanging Castings Hexagram 0, so please enter anything that isn't specific to a particular unchanged hexagram over there.
Anyway, on to Hexagram Three Unchanging. Although I don’t have a personal story in all cases, I do have one for this casting, so here we go.....
I was just out of university and had been married a year or so, had been working with the Yi Ching a bit but not all that familiar yet. Finding that I was feeling sick all the time, dizzy, exhausted, swollen, I consulted a doctor who found no immediate cause and ordered a battery of tests. I was a bit frightened and consulted the Yi in desperation, casting: Hexagram Three Unchanging. Oh my GOD, something growing – and I thought immediately of tumors. Meanwhile the doctor said if the tests were inconclusive then exploratory surgery might be an option when the Christmas holiday concluded the following week. I panicked.
Drove with my husband to my parents’ place at the New Jersey beach for Christmas Day, crossing a four-lane bridge out of Philadelphia, wedged in traffic and barrelling along at 70 miles per hour, I was overcome with nausea. He whipped the car into a delicatessen on the other side of the bridge and I jumped out and threw up behind a hedge, then glanced up at the neon sign advertising “Hoagies!” Ever been to Philadelphia? These are Italian lunchmeat sandwiches and best on earth. My hubby bought two. He ate one. I ate half of one, threw it up, ate the other half and went to sleep.
At the beach the salt air perked me up a bit. We went inside where the turkey was cooking and I ran for the bathroom to be sick again, then slept for all of Christmas Day and got up in time for dessert when I downed two huge pieces of minced meat pie with a barrel of coffee. Said my concerned Mother – What are they testing you for? I told her tumors. She said, well that’s interesting because I’d bet this house that you are pregnant.
AH! Hexagram Three Unchanging.
