Why not look at the changing lines in the original hexagram instead?
To look at the changing lines of the relating hexagram is illuminating but I am not clear that it is most accurate.
Why not instead: 50.1 to 14
50.2 to 56
and so on?
An urge, a sudden idea, to leave everything behind, and go on an extended trip overseas -- (this idea that occurred to me today). It would be not so easy to pull off but, if it happened, it would be a total shift and refreshing.
How often I stay still and stuck from complacency!
I mentioned this idea to a friend, who was highly skeptical, and told me to wait, relax and not do anything impulsive.
Why the push back?
I allowed myself to fantasize about actually doing it.
And then as I imagined it, I realized it might be possible, if I were willing to leave everything else behind (like career concerns, stability, etc).
So I asked. Good idea?

What do you make of it?
Hmm don't want to rain on your parade but I don't really think 50 is a good one.
I have also been confused by some readings, on the forum, which consult the changing lines of the relating hexagrams. I realize this can be done (to offer a kind of shadow of the original, where there are changing lines), but for me, it gets elaborate beyond credibility.
I agree, where the hex is unchanging, why consult changing lines at all. But, I meant to say, GIVEN ash's premise that the changing lines (of the whole hexagram) COULD be consulted to tell a deeper story ,my question was, why not the original hexagram rather than the relating one? I mean, this could be done, if you were to take account of the entire progression of all 6 lines, to show more deeply what 50u means.
I know what you mean, too, about not asking for further clarifications. Though I DO sometimes do that. And I don't see it as a big problem, so long as I stay consistent with all of them, rather than playing one off against another (though it can be excessive). So it was striking that I cast three times and received three unchanging hexagrams.
All of that said, yes, your reading of 50u makes a lot of sense. It is the situation. As an impulsive idea, there is not much to it. But if I give it a foundation, and all the ingredients come together, indeed it could work. I asked the question in part to get myself out of the rut that I'm currently in, which is a linear mind-set about my life, where I'm calculating a lot about career moves, and such things, and it feels like a new impulse or surprise could be more life-giving.
Thanks for your input.
PS -- so if I were to take the unchanging additional hexagrams as clarifications
16 and 31 seem to say that this idea generates attraction and a certain pleasure, but as yet, that's all there is to it.
And then as I imagined it, I realized it might be possible, if I were willing to leave everything else behind (like career concerns, stability, etc).
So I asked. Good idea?

As for #2, does it make a difference that I asked this yesterday? It was certainly yesterday not today, so 4/27/16
Thank you for your input.
Nice. Next month You goes from September 1st to September 30th, 2016 and next month Hai goes from October 31 to November 28, 2016If I did this trip it might take place in September or October of this year but that's uncertain. Around there.
1) I did write about 50: "but 50 I think says end of journey, not the opposing 3 - a start." and
"'contain/put a lid' on something. Stop/prevent the movement."
2) There was no mention of transitional method - it's doesn't even apply here.
3) I assumed that loverofknowledge did read the 50's image and text, but that was not enough to understand the answer, so I simply suggested another point of view on 50, hoping that would widen his perspective.
4) Wilhelm: THE CALDRON. Supreme good fortune. Success.
Thus the superior man consolidates his fate by making his position correct.
Not much info here for me. Success, but a hint to reconsider. So I just tried to look at 6 cases - absolutely independent of each other - no progression there, no transition.
Where 50 is the end result/background/influence. Just to get a better feeling of it, and offered that info to the lover.
Those 6 cases describe various roads that lead to 50, the 6 pairs of hexes (so there is obviously a relating one), they allow to see the 50 from outside, I think.
Rather than 6 roads leading out of 50, where you can't see the 50 itself, you are inside of it looking at the exit.
Of course that is your choice, but the question was is it a good idea?So I don't necessarily want a yes/no but a more complex mirror of possibilities.
I'm struggling with that point. I admit I don't have a clear idea of every hex. That's why I'm trying to use different angles to get a feeling/concept of the hex.Trojina said:An interesting concept, roads leading in, but surely the 'roads' do not change the fundamental meaning of the hexagram received. 'Supreme good fortune success' cannot be altered or over ridden by using 'roads'. If that were the case then every hexagram wouldn't mean what it fundamentally does mean.
Good idea?
