55.2 34

[saturn]

I am in the process of making a major life change. I really believe and think and feel that I need to separate myself from my partner. Of course, self-doubt creeps up every now and again and I wonder if I am being impulsive, if something is clouding my judgment. I am also contemplating moving away next fall, to a new city. I'm scared to do this, but at the same time I want to get a fresh start, a second chance, but I am afraid.

I had a really bad day one day this week but I meditated and prayed and searched and found meaning, this made the whole day worthwhile. For the first time in my quarter of a century life I am believing that little voice in my head, I'm paying attention, listening to her and all. But still, I am scared of making a bad choice. I just want to make the right choices, I just want to be happy. So I asked last night, What do I need to be happy? And I got hex 55, with the second line moving, changing to 34. I felt as though I was the sun at noon... as if I need to trust myself and my little inner voice, this is as good as it gets, the rest is up to me.

What do you guys think?

I think that's a good interpretation.

I think the reading reflects your current condition, or the condition at the time you asked. There's a strong power driving you from within, and it's as though the sun, at its hottest and brightest, is shining down hard on you, so much so that you feel somewhat incapacitated or hindered, but there's no blame in that. What would help is to clarify/judge/55 the situation in your own mind, letting the sun burn off the fog which clouds and confuses you, and then you can make your clear decision.

Thank you.

Anybody know what the moving line is saying, and 34? It sounds/feels good... but as always that doubt

Rouse your sense of strength and purpose. Be resolute. You are connected to a creative force.

Yes, a great fog envelops this situation and right now is not the time to advance. But presently other people will begin to agree with you and have confidence in you, and then you'll be able to move forward, with their help.

H34 means that strength must always be combined with proper behavior. We all live in a social context and need to be thoughtful of others.

great

the fog though.. I know it is all around. Before, I would jump to decisions quickly, fogged by emotions and confusion. doing what felt the best. But now I am afraid. I want to feel good yes, but not just now.. for a long time, forever and with MYSELF. Before I would quickly find something, or someone to distract me. But now I don't want that. What shall I do in the meantime while this fog clears up? Just wait? There has got to be something for me to do to help myself, at least to pass the time quickly.
I don't feel ready to make drastic decisions yet. Maybe baby decisions. What do you all suggest in the meantime? Should I consult the great book?

Irresistible force wanting to advance

There has got to be something for me to do to help myself, at least to pass the time quickly. I don't feel ready to make drastic decisions yet. Maybe baby decisions. What do you all suggest in the meantime? Should I consult the great book?

I'll just quote for you from an author who calls himself Wu Wei on the nature of H34:

"The lower trigram of three unbroken lines possesses great power, and the lines want to advance. Added to this already great power is the aggressive upward movement of the upper trigram, which is symbolized by thunder. Together, they represent an irresistible force. Knowing that advance is certain, the superior person takes thought to advance correctly. That means advancing virtuously, with good intentions, and only along socially accepted paths. Perseverance in virtue will insure that when the advance has been accomplished, the superior person will be able to enjoy the results of his advance, rather than being harassed because of the results of an improper advance."

I think that passage describes pretty well the pressure you are under to advance.

What to do in the meantime? Take up cooking? I don't know where you live or anything much about you, Saturn. If you live in a place where there are sporting activities, bike riding, hiking, working out in a gym, even just taking long walks every day, that could help. Playing any musical instrument takes a great deal of stamina and physical strength. I would say anything physically active would help you while you wait. And tasks that concentrate and re-focus the mind would also be helpful.

You might even come over here to OnlineClarity every day and help out some of those posting questions to this forum!

When you think of activities to utilize some of your extra energy, you might indeed ask Yi about them. Why not?
