I always feel humbled when I look at the posts here because there is so much knowledge here about the I Ching and my own knowledge is so small. Anyway, I asked about a trip I'm dying to take but that I can't really afford (I could charge it but don't like to do that). I got #39, Obstruction, with moving lines 2,5, and 6. I can't decide if this means to push through the obstruction and just go, or to wait for more favorable circumstances. And I was puzzled about the resulting hexagram #18, Work on What Has Been Spoiled (Decay). One of the reasons I want to take this trip is that I want to move to a different area of the country and I wanted to check this place out. And I wanted to get my circulation going, so to speak. I haven't been on a plane for 10 years! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Your answer shows that you are currently having some difficulties, so you need to call a few people to ask for their help, could be friends or family in order to go on your trip, as line 39.6 says that you need to take action and therefore go.
While hex 18 is advising to correct the past mistakes that you have made, which you realize yourself must be done, even if it entails moving to some other location. Hex 18 tells you quite plainly, to move, to take a chance, you are ready, so go now.
