I won't say I'm an expert like many of the senior member like Trojan and and Lise, just to name a few here. But I reckon I've manage to improve my reading skills a little over the years and am able to interpret most of the hexagrams Iching gives me. But this... Damn, on top of having a bad start to a new year, I get a hexgram I totally don't get. I really need help.
So "What should I do to feel peaceful and calm now?"
Hexagram 44.2.4.6 to 39
Fish?? What has fish got to do with feel peaceful and calm now? Or do the fishes represent something else?
So, HELPPPPPPPPPPPP... I jsut feel so unhappy, I want my mojo back.
your name troubles me 'elkoholick'/alcoholic....you aren't drinking like a fish are you ?
Hey Trojan!!
Do you have any opinion about those damn fishes and horns in the lines I've got for Hexagram 44?
Hello all,
The new year didn't start off right at all for me. As posted in another thread, I still haven't found a job after 6months, love life isn't going too fabulously and in fact teetering on the brink of breakdown, and then just on the 2nd day of the new year, came down with stomach flu. And I am still wincing from stomach cramps as I type. So right, when everyone is greeting everyone else happy new year, my new year apparently is not as happy as I hope for it to be.
In the midst of all these negativity, I did a reading with the question "What should I do to feel peaceful and calm now?" Well, the rationale was in hope that I can do something to feel better about my dismal job search, my abysmal love life and convince myself that the rest of the year won't suck even if I'm terribly sick right at the very beginning. (Thought to myself "This is not a bad omen, this is not a bad omen...")
So "What should I do to feel peaceful and calm now?"
Hexagram 44.2.4.6 to 39
Fish?? What has fish got to do with feel peaceful and calm now? Or do the fishes represent something else?

This may not be so easy becasue the 44 shows a strong desire to want to do things your way, the way you currently think they should be done...
I see the advice in 39 as quite important in the reading. In practical terms it often means looking for new ways of getting help and support. Struggling on alone is not the way to go, you get exhausted..and here i think you get exhausted at trying to impose your will(44) in areas where applying your will bears no fruit (or fish 44.4)
Hey Rodaki,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I was pondering over your bit about how fish can be seen as a symbol of fertility. Yes, do seem to recall reading about that somewhere else now. And on the same track, fish was seen as a symbol in Chinese history. Although... My life overall suck now, not just love life. So I'd go with your take that those fishes represents my fears, worries and sleepless nights.
I suddenly thought 44.2 might go something like: You have lots of worries and anxieties and fears now, but don't let it go near your hopes and optimism (the guests mentioned in the line??) for the new year.
And then 44.4 would be as you said, don't feed the fears, keep faith.
And then 44.6. I'm lost. "He comes to meet with his horns. Humiliation. No blame." If there is humiliation, how can there be no blame? And what's with the horns? Somehow, the horns reminds me of hexagram 26 and 34 where horns are mentioned. But in both cases, those lines that carries "horns" are talking about restraint and cautiousness. So... Can someone help me out here? Is my inference correct when I read 44.6 as saying that if I am rash and run into my problems now heads down, with horns like a young bull, I'm gonna meet humiliation. But I'll be ok??
Right, still lost, coz Rodaki, I'm with you. This doesn't sound very peaceful and calm to me at all.
So the weekend, watching movie with girlfriend, having a pleasant dinner, with a very yummy strawberry shortcake for dessert, taking my mind off 44, job search, love life, was all quite a break. I still want what I want, but maybe, not now NOW sorta thing. Instead of just eyeing permanent jobs, I'm looking at those temporary ads now for promoters for roadshows, those that last a couple of days so that it won't interfere with my job search and interviews, a but at the same time, bring in some dough and to keep me occupied with something to do in the day, instead of twiddling thumbs at home. Haven't got anything so far, coz I just started looking anyway, but I think, it give me hope too, the sense of I'm doing something.let go of the quest for solutions where its like you versus the world and employ the aid and support of the bits of your world that can lend you support...a more indirect route, less grabby, more sociable..
O yes, I am trying now to brace myself for a long, winding path to happiness, calm and serenity. That was why I went for a movie, and strawberry shortcake over the weekend. Girl Power. I must get myself out of this depressive mode, set about occupying myself with the above mention part-time job and when I think I am ready, I will set about removing the Obstacles which Hexagram 39 is trying to show me.You might find that Trojan is right and you are being too pushy, or that you need to brace up and go on this long and winding road in boldness . .
