Although I am confused and most of the time don't seem to understand what the Yi is telling me, I am still talking to him/her. So I asked: Where are you taking me? The answer was 55.5<>49.

To become an able king/queen? Find the inner child (I have read this in the memorizing thread but don't understand it honestly)? Am I the weak line in the strong place and should learn how to manage my position?

Please help!

To a good place

What shows itself in 55.5 is translated "patterns", but also "glory" (Liu), "beautification" (Cleary), "men of brilliant ability" (Legge), and in a beautiful note, "variegated beauty of the sky after a storm" (Blofeld).
After that (or as a result), fame and blessing come.

And the result/ context hexagram is 49- Radical Change, that you received with some changing lines for your last query here.

Now take a look at Liu's translation of 55.5:
"Glory will come, causing prosperity and recognition. Good fortune."

I think before I could find my pattern, I will go through hell, and this will change my perception of beauty, prosperity and glory
It is frightening to lose control and at the same time feeling pushed by an invisible hand (hence my question) but I don't like it, I feel forced when I am usually the one forcing. Honestly, sometimes I wonder how it comes I am following this philosophy of 'The way', my understanding of renunciation, patience and the mean is not positive at all. Then is the Yi a sage that helps us live by the natural laws and get our part of the cake or transcend them and live as ascetes?

Do you have any idea why this hex is related to the divine manifestation? Maybe finding out what does the divine mean to me is my only salvation.

This line is about when the beautiful patterns start to show. And there is blessing. Why are you afraid? The worse part is over. You are not in 55.3.

Yeah! Thought the same after posting my reply

Hi Cometta,

I really don´t know what is your worryness about but this line is extremely positive and shows whatever you are going with Yi is the right path. This is how I would read it the line:

The oracle of this line is extremely favorable. You seem to be in a privileged position, of someone who has truly reached the top in some specific endeavor or in some sector of life. The person in this line has a great communicative capacity and a power of penetration full of optimism, which infiltrates even between barriers and reaches the farthest.

Thus, the person of the fifth line is abundantly enriched by the meeting and also by the dispersion of positive factors, which may be personal, social, material, etc., according to the subject of the consultation.

Another characteristic of the subject of this line is that he shows himself, he manifests himself, he does not hide, not even at the peak of wealth or success, and with this he further consolidates the support of those around him and even those who are farther away. perhaps simply knowing him through others.
As she continues, her possibilities for action and expression increase, as befits a situation of growth. The action consolidates: you move from a rapid, almost impulsive movement to a strong, consolidated movement that attracts followers. The person herself becomes stronger and better connected, and realizes that a change has indeed occurred in the issue that gave rise to the oracle consultation and that she is in control of events (or should take control) rather than being guided by them.

It couldn´t be better, so go ahead with confidence That´s what I would say.

Marina,
Hmmm, still swimmimg in this delicious and cool sea you are drawing and the sun is just warming my face as I floaaaat. I don't know but the sky is also blue
Thank you.
Beautiful name by the way.

Will come back later

Thank you for this positive view. I just don't jump in enthusiasm anymore for any line I get, because I know there is always change. The question is what stays? What is the solid base that is the start and the 'goal' ? What is my pattern?

It is true I asked where I am going and I understand the answer says my situation will change. I suppose one chooses to follow the Way or any way to become better or get what they want, and 55.5 augures that my best version will be revealed and I will become more in tune with this way, hence the fame and glory according to its morals/values/ethic.
But my concern is about those values. I don't know if my understanding of the answers is correct, because these values seem deprivating and oppressive to me.
Maybe because I have been oppressed and feel unworthy I tend to give up on my desires easily, then I get frustrated and my indigniation makes me push harder still it doesn't head me anywhere. I should work on this to become like the one as you described, but I have trust issues and if I could believe in a god or any goodness I can be confident. Surely I can't find my Self.

Other than an encouragement, I can't find a meaning for the reading, but my intuition directs me to ask what is sacred to me. What are the values I am looking to affirm, what is it that doesn't change, and what is divine to me. That is why divine manifestation resonated for me (I can't find the thread where I read it).

Hex 55 comprises of Zhen (Thunder) on Li fire. Watch this you tube video.


Hex 49 comprises of Tui metal over Li fire. Watch this you tube video.


Yao Hex 55.5 to Hex 49

父母化父母，進神文書許 Parents line advance from Shen metal to You metal. Certain documents will be approved and arrived. Timing: August-September.

Both hexagrams are in the house of kan water. There is no clear-cut image of prosperity. There are obstacles along the path.

Since your query is “Do you know?”

I will give you this link


on my song: “Do you know”

You have to change to adapt. The future is in your own hands as you move forward into the Fall season.

Your query is extremely abstract. Iching Math does not offer answer to abstract questions.

There's nothing about an inner child in the line so that's just an idea or association someone had. The line says

'A thing of beauty coming.
Brings reward and praise, good fortune.'

It's as simple as that.

I needed to hear this. Thank you

Is the house of Kan water related to this season? I don't know what does 'line parents' mean.
It is true I have a problem with a client who refuses to pay (I didn't have that in mind when I asked the question). Do you think the papers that would be approved in the fall season are related to that?

The link to Long Yi's method is in his signature. It has little in common with how others use the I Ching here.

His method is too complicated for me.
Whatever the method, in the end everyone told me to trust.

Many thanks to all of you for your love and support. I am grateful for your big kindness.
