59 Dissolving or Spreading

[heatwave]

I've been thinking about 59, especially 59 unchanging for a long time as it relates to illness. If it's a rash is the rash dissolving or spreading? If it's something airborne is ir dissolving or spreading - like sick droplets in the air? If I'm worried about the potential or for a genetic mutation to be passed down to a baby is 59 the likelihood that the issue will dissolve and the baby won't get it or that it will be passed on and spread to the baby? Sometimes I think it can probably mean both and so I can can't take any predictive answer from it and just have to wait and see. Would love to get some comments from others on this.

59 means something is being dispersed or dissolved, and the dispersing/dissolving is a good thing. It might be something outwardly, or something inwardly. If it's a health issue, then one outward interpretation is that the disease or condition is dispersing/dissolving. Another outward interpretation would be that something relating to the illness needs to be dispersed. Or it might refer to something inner - one inward interpretation is that an emotion or attitude in relation to the illness is dispersing. Or that it needs to disperse. For example, this might mean the psychosomatic cause of the illness is dispersing, or needs to be dispersed. Equally, it might be your worrying about the issue that's dispersing, or needs to be dispersed.

If you can identify the obstacle in this situation, then you know what the dispersing applies to. The trick is to spot whether that obstacle, that blockage, is outward or inward.

Thanks, dobro. Looking back on the illnesses I have gotten 59 about they were sometimes things with the potential to spread on the body and then they didn't. I have had this same confusion about 59.6, I have experienced 59.6 as something like disperse bad blood. Let the gripe go. I had it when pretty upset with a friend about a difference of opinion that couldn't be resolved. I took 59.6 to mean just let it go and it felt right. I let it go and had the liberating feeling when the bad vibes fall away. I've also gotten 59.6 about romantic relationships and wondered if it meant something more like run for your life. Any thoughts on that? 59>7 comes to mind with the run for my life feeling. I never listened though.

Blood can mean bloodshed, kin, life - different things - but 59.6 seems not to point to the 'life' meaning, but something else. I think your take on the friend situation was spot on.

'Run for your life' - To my mind flight doesn't seem to fit dispersion, because dispersion is a more gradual, bit-by-bit process.

59>7 is really interesting. For 7, Huang talks about army, but calls it multitude, focussing on the organization of the mass (around a capable center - the second yang) more than the purpose of the army (defense/aggression). Okay, there's sort of a 'mass' idea with 59 - a mass is being dissolved and dispersed. So, that's why I said 59>7 is interesting - it images something being dispersed and also a multitude organising around a leader. Outwardly, that might look like a mass change of political allegiance, for instance - people becoming disaffected with one situation and rallying around a new party or leader. Inwardly, that would look more like an old attitude or belief or emotion having less traction because a new approach to things is coming together powerfully, organised around a central idea - like when a kid outgrows stuff psychologically.

Just my two cents.

59 carries for me a sense of scatter or a dissolution into fine particles. Dissolution should not be confused with dissolving here. It is perhaps a hexagram of break through and a break though more than likely located within our being than external to it. Yi advocates this as being a time for sacrifice (of the old) and the establishing of new temples. Dispelling the views and beliefs held and replacing them with a better more current version in glorious technicolour. Out with the old; in with the new!

Dispersing bad blood is a term that I can see associating with Hex 59 in a broad sense.

Hex 59 is not to my mind involved with 'dissolving' something. There is a more vigorous, wilful feel to it's actions than that. Similarly, the health issues mentioned do not resonate with me as being specific to the time of 59.

59 > 7 comes through changes to lines 5 and 6. This transformation requires change in both the structure of the time (line 5) and application of wisdom (line 6) which acting together seem far removed from a 'run for your life' or flight reaction. 59 develops through wilful application rather than any knee jerk reaction.

Years ago a friend experienced what she thought were false labor pains. She didn’t think they were significant because it was a couple of weeks before her due date but we consulted the I Ching anyway just for fun, She got these lines and omg, a baby boy popped out three hours later!
59.5 The king disperses his residence. (And it was indeed a boy)
59.6 Leave! Get out! Not a mistake! (Baby was perfect, not a mistake to leave the womb a bit early?) (Or were these lines advice to her to get out of the house and off to the hospital?)

I don't think you can get a predictive fact from it no, I think for that medical means are necessary.

Generally the trigrams are a very pictoral image of what's happening in 59, wind over water. We all know what that does. The water evaporates into the air becomes a cloud and falls again as water elsewhere. Things shapeshift and lose form in 59, sometimes according the topic of the reading this feels good, if a quarrel falls apart and loses form yippee but if it is cast for a relationship we'd really like to stay as it is not quite so yippee often. So 59 can feel freeing, the dissolving or evaporation of bonds that made things in a rigid form or shape but it can also feel mighty disorientating if, in the topic of the reading, one longs to know where one is. As structure and form evaporate, shapeshift, dissolve, spread out so much as to lose definition (think of how clouds make a shape then spread out and lose definition) one can feel quite lost even abandoned by all those things and people that defined a life. This is why all the lines talk of help, talk of what to do in such times.

To your own question here I'd lean more towards 59 being the mutation doesn't hold form, disperses, becomes something other, shapeshifts into not the mutation. If it was something passing through generation I'd possibly expect more to see 18 .....and I almost said 42 since sometimes 42 can be increase of a condition but I wouldn't hold to that.

For a disease or mutation to 'spread' as in keep perpetuating and producing itself it needs to hold some kind of form doesn't it? Indeed if a human wants to procreate and spread themselves they need to have the form of a particular body. If that form is dispersed one cannot pass on all the genetic material from that body. I guess you could also think of a cooking analogy or even water colour painting. At some point a roof may be painted blue and then more of a wash and then more of a wash is applied and there's a point you can't call it blue, it's lost definition. Cooking ....well probably everyone has started out making one thing and it kind of lost definition and name and became something else - it was a stew now it's a soup or even a broth, you get the idea. Same with a genetic mutation perhaps, it's lost form with this reading. I don't know how such mutations work of course but that is how 59 strikes me in regards to your query.

Oh, another thought I had about 59 and genetic mutation is of course if we think of the water rising to become cloud, cloud dispersing and them falling as rain again elsewhere this is might be how such a mutation goes through generations. That is whilst all form is lost in 59 the water doesn't vanish it changes form and returns elsewhere. So often genetic mutations skip generations don't they. they don't always just vanish. Anyway FWIW in terms of a current situation I'd still think this was something dispersing away but while it might disperse away in this generation perhaps the baby may carry it into future generations even if they don't have it. At least I heard that's true with some conditions though obviously I don't know much about it.
