But it can also mean that it is unknown for how long good fortune will last.
You can win the city easily, but what then? It can easily become a trap..
For me it is one of those things that has a lot to do with the attitude you present in such a situation. History is awash with examples of self-fulfilling prophecies, good and bad. 46.3 isn't prophesying anything but stating a course; it is open-ended. Good or bad fortune are not mentioned. It doesn't even talk about "winning the city". It talks about going into it. At that stage, it is a clean slate. The reason I mentioned potential goodness, if properly handled, is because the next step not only shows 'good fortune' but also converts the containing trigram into Dui. Felicity or despair are yours to find.
Another hint is given in what 46.3 ends up in: 7. It is the "populating" stage of 46.3 and calls for a strong leader or risk being overrun.
You trip or avoid your own traps...
btw sparhawk, you told once that text is just a mirror, real answer is coming from inside
I used 46.3 casting a spell for work once, looking for a big opportunity. Within two weeks I was helping to design a new town for 2000 people out on an empty mountain mesa. After a couple of years, getting paid, the project just evaporated and the city vanished back into emptiness.
Brad, Do you think, then, that if both lines 3 and 5 change in 46, that the initial foray into the empty city (could this be a starting from scratch kind of thing) would end up with something substantial and long lasting? Or alternatively, that Line 5 after Line 3 (without the intervening Line 4, which is the allegiance line, I think), would mean that the city vanished, and now you take steps to move away and in a different direction?
