Confused reading please help.

[newlife]

I have had so much misfortune in the last year and a half. Such as divorce, near death sickness, fallout with family members and unemployment.

Consulted Yi and asked the question: "I have been having bad luck for a longtime now. Please tell me what the related energy or energies is and how to best handle them to get to a better place."

What I got was:
50.2.3.5.6 > 45

From the Caulkdron to Gathering? I don't quite get it. Please advise thank you.

In the middle of Temptation. Valuable Lessons are on your horizon.
But Good fortune comes in the end.
Try to Learn from everything and every situation in which you're.
Ask your self: "Why I think (what makes me to think) that I don't have good luck in this period"?!
Than ask: "Am I really having bad luck"?
Any lack of Responsibility or Self-Discipline maybe?
Than define to yourself what good and bad luck means to you.
Remember the 45 hex:
The king approaches his temple.
The time of temptations its coming to its end. Nothing lasts forever, neither the good neither the bad. "When you lose, don't lose the lesson" said Dalai Lama.
Talk to your self.

Thank you. Very enlightening but I don't see what temptation has to do with it.

Newlife,
Every situation where we experiencing "struggling", "frustration" and etc. is a situation where we grow, where our awareness grow - that is a temptation in a way that this situation temptate you to see and learn something that you didn't knew till than. There's a process of growing here. You grow and the "bad luck" that you're experiencing right now is part of that process. There's some valuable lesson which you need to see (and you'll see it in the right time) here. You need to learn something. The sense of "bad luck" which you experience is maybe attachment to some desires which, you think, would make you happy. And Happiness is in the present moment, the moment of Now. There's no such thing as "bad luck and good luck" when you don't go much further in the future or int he past. This is a part of the spiritual growing. You need to go beyond "bad luck", to hold the "bad luck" in your hand. You have power as a human being, you only need to be aware of that. And the lessons of which I'm talking about here lead you to this knowing of your power. You need to follow the lessons, they lead. Rise your awareness. Read again the second hexagram in Wilhelms translation where he speaks about the Leading and the Following.
I hope I said it more clearly now?

Both 50 and 45 are religious symbols that suggest a return to ideals. You have had a crushing run of bad luck and yet still have energy and optimism to consult the Yi. The hexagrams suggest to me that you would benefit from associating with others who share your beliefs and could help you to 'new life'.

During a difficult time as you describe, my reentry to the oracle resulted in a very similar reading as yours, so I can relate to your situation. My instinctive response to it and understanding of it remains the same to this day, 10 years later.

I interpreted it as, you are now gathering a new life, and the ingredients go into the cook and refining pot. The gathered parts include the good, the bad and the ugly, so there's some filtering, cleaning, mixing and purifying of all this matter, to create and assist this new phase of life.

Actually, I do think temptations can enter into the time, not necessarily for good or evil, but for the fuel which will be cooking your life in the cauldron, as well as determining the ingredients of your life.

For the alchemist, it is the refinement to pure gold from base metals and other elements, which define 50's function.

I don't particularly care for the word "spiritual", however 50 is a place I think it belongs. Cooking food for your gods, for your guests, and for your own flesh and bones, is a sacred act. It seems it's times, such as you're going through, that allow us access to those essential elements, to rearrange our life based upon our purest principles.

Dealing with the unexpected outcomes is another subject.
