hmmm, we are kindred spirits of a sort. I have been a Wanderer very much against my will. Every "home" I have ever had - be it marriage, house, work, friends - has crumbled like quicksand beneath my feet.Hello:bows: ,
this I wondered today: Tell me about my loneliness and how it will turn out for me? Hex 56.4,5 into 53
It figures, I am a Wonderer, without a place to belong. That is how I felt most of my life - I guess it started with my parents letting me know they wanted a boy and I was told some thing that left a mark in that sense. It is ok to be a Wonderer while growing up and forming yourself but I am not a loner, I am just alone, way too much left on my own and I am tired of it.
This is where the 4th line sits perfectly - a person who got stuck in a place that was meant to be transitional, but my ax is not as sharp as suggested, especially in financial sense.
I mention all of the above so someone could put the 5th line in a perspective for me as it speaks of reaching one`s climax and Tuck Chang advises: "quit while you are ahead" and Wilhelm speaks of "an office in the foreign country".
Perhaps I should read this as an optimistic outcome but the reality is crumbling down every option lately.
Perhaps someone had this cast, and can interpret it as it really doesn`t relate now.
Thank you:bows:
56. The Traveler
Line 4:
The traveler has a place to stay.
He obtains some properties and an ax.
"My heart is not cheerful."
As a stranger, managing to get ones needs met, but not being really contented.
Line 5:
Shooting the pheasant.
One arrow lost in the end,
to improve life.
Getting rid of something, in order to improve one's life. This is a loss, but the loss is limited.
Hexagram is changing to:
53. Gradual Development
Gradual development.
The woman marries.
Good fortune.
It is beneficial to persist.
Dragona - thank you for mentioning Bruce in dispatches -
he is honoured sweet..as I do remember saying on your first cast that he was overdue waiting to the point of snapping as you told latter - well, now you know I could relate
I see 56 implying that you would do well to travel - not as
a break or holiday but as a quest for meaning. Maybe your
intuition in quiet meditation over time will reveal a place
- maybe Egypt for arguments sake that you could look into.
I was thinking of moving, I still do but I have no means to push myself forward yet tho not leaving the house for over 2 years for more then half a day could make a Wonderer nuts
I remember a while ago you had a casting that was urging you
to delve deeply into a passion. Sometimes 56 applies to the
vacillations of our spirits in response to what we have/or are
attracting into our lives. I often feel that 56 is a worrying hexagram
when we are in dire need of anchoring stability or permanence in
our lives (or when an old structure has left us eg empty nest syndrome)
Which casting was that?
You mention aquarius - I see 56 as saggitarius the traveller and
philosopher. This may be a suggestion to explore what enduring/
permanance looks like for you. I say this in that 53 describes the
courtship leading to stable marriage. Namely a secure resting place
- in life and more importantly soul.
I have something like 4 planets in Sag.and Venus in Capricorn..you are free to guess where my Moon is
just a few ramblings take what you like and leave the rest
Hardly rambling, hardly..
hee hee - someone said Bruce looked the way I feel
That is why I like cats

Or, meet a partner that's into the same need for the same kind of changes as yours. Then you can experiment, travel fast and leave the past in the past, or travel in a slow and measured way, if that's the natural chemistry of you as a couple, or as an individual. But with each attachment we gain, a piece of our freedom shall we lose. It depends on the time. "Times change and with them, their demands." You have the tools, but are not especially happy about them - all in your regard to your loneliness. You can fix the lonely problem, if you want to. Question may be, are you able or willing yet to slow down enough for it?
'Above the mountain is fire: the wanderer.
The noble one is enlightened and thoughtful in administering punishments, and doesn't draw out legal proceedings.'
‘Sojourner, creating small success.
Sojourning, constancy brings good fortune.’
'Wanderer in a shelter,
Gains property and an axe.
My heart is not glad.'
'Shooting a pheasant,
Gets it with one arrow.
And so in the end, praise and a mandate.’
Over thinking,
over analyzing,
separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition,
missing opportunities,
and I must feed my will to feel my moment
drawing way outside the lines.

Sometimes I think the problem of "my heart is not glad" in 56.4 comes about because we just haven't decided to be happy with what we already have. Some say the feeling of happiness must come first and then the other changes will come. HAPPY is something we decide to be and is not dependent on anything external. The darned ego, though, doesn't want us to know this or be able to apply it; for example, when we're alone the ego has us pining all day for companionship.
So, being into trigrams right now…
56 - Outer: Fire/Mountain (F/M). Inner: Lake, joy (L)/Gentle, wind, wood (W/W)
53 - Outer: Gentle, wind, wood (W/W)/Mountain (M). Inner: Fire (F)/Water (W)
...For 56, related to your outer sense of things, I'd read it as outwardly seeking improvement (F) through patience (M) appears to require inwardly balancing joy (F) and perseverance (W/W).
And, 53, related to your inner sense of things, I'd read it as things are transitioning (W/W) to a better future because there’s a good foundation here (M). But, inside you’re having a hard time seeing clearly (F) while feeling swamped (W).
