It's said contradictory lines can relate to different people, different times, different aspects of same situation.
Or you can read top line of two changing lines, a yin if one of 2 lines is yin and one yang, focus on the first or second hexagram...or as I have discovered one or two other systems. Anyone have any other ways to deal with this?
'Paying tribute: lamenting, weeping, snivelling.
Not a mistake.
Note in 45.6 it is not a mistake. From wiki/Hilary
FWIW my own experience with similar casts....I had 45 several times with line 6 changing and other lines.
I had the chance of some work at a community project. I initiated it, proposed it....via a contact I'd made who was handling the funding on behalf of the bigger people who had the funds. You know the kind of thing...I'd asked several questions about this...was it going to happen, would I get the work, how much pay should I ask for...I kept getting 45 with lines and always line 6.
I was puzzled as I wondered how it could all look so rosy (line 4 and other lines) and end in tears (line 6)
Anyway eventually I got the go ahead and took the work. It was rewarding in many ways but it had to end when the funding ran out for the project. My contact, the one who had offered me the position was indeed pretty sad. So was I. She had invested a lot and she was exhausted and wanted to move on which meant I had to move on too.
So in a nutshell what happened for me and what were my casts about in hindsight ?
Well I'm glad I did it, I have no regrets about it, it was worth doing while it lasted.
In line 6 people have given and done all they can....but don't forget this line comes after earlier lines. For me it happened in a sequence. The 45.4 was the gathering of the project...the 45.6 the end of it...but Yi still says 'not a mistake'. So there's nothing actually wrong it is simply there is cause for sadness after one has poured energy into something. But that doesn't mean it's not worth doing.
With this cast of 45.4.6>20 I'd expect a fulfilment of some kind, gathering, a project undertaken ....that will end at some point. It may be as well to use the situation as best one can and be prepared that after some time a whole new scenario will need to be envisioned.....
Given 20 is the relating it may be someone is wondering, trying to gauge the wisdom of proceeding. I'd see it as proceeding with an awareness that what can be gathered in 45.4 may be valuable, of lasting value, but there will be a time to move on. If someone thought they didn't want to go ahead on that basis of course, well then they'd choose not to.
I recall wondering if it was worth it since it didn't look long lasting but overall I thought it was....despite a few tears on the day it all had to end...
................but of course with every end comes a new beginning of some kind so perhaps that is why it is not a mistake. It's a natural end. If nothing ended we'd never get the chance to do something new. That does not stop one weeping at the end though....especially if one feels one invested a lot. I tend to think nothing ever really goes to waste though.
Looking at the line pathway for 45.6...we see it's 'inner story'
it goes
45.6
12.6
11.1
46.1
See how 45.6 is 46.1 upside down...it's pair. You can see in the line pathway the experience of beginnings and endings.
'Paying tribute: lamenting, weeping, snivelling.
Not a mistake.
'When all the sacrifices and demands feel like too much, it's natural to express your emotions. The messy extremes of feeling are not wrong, and you do not need anyone's permission to give voice to your sorrow. Break through the blocks to communicate; make yourself heard"
Trojina, thank you so much for such a full response. You may have guessed (and consider me quite stupid or quite remarkable) that the struggle I was involved in 12 months ago, continued on different levels, and still remains in my feelings very unresolved and painful. I moved away somewhat from I ching as it was confusing me so much and had become so obsessive.
Anyway. I have just asked another related question about whether or not to send an email and received
Hex 17.1.4.5.6 >23
which seemed to be really quite favourable. I also looked at the pattern changes and found that the energy I came to the question, YANG was 25, INNOCENCE, and the way I made my way through, the yin pattern, was/is 2 RECEPTIVE. That sounds quite healthy to me?
thanks again. I am going to re-read your last post now..

Here's a selection

this one seems most apt
http://onlineclarity.co.uk/answers/2006/11/19/multiple-changing-lines-again/
also as you said change lines can indicate a sequence of events
How do I interpret two contradictory lines
