Thank you. The trouble with posting Yi things is that as soon as they get beyond the theoretical, they turn very very personal. (As everyone who ever posted a reading on this forum has found out already, I suppose...)Please don't feel squeamish about posting things! Even if some don't entirely "agree" with you, what you write is always thoughtful, interesting, and Yi-based, and we can still learn I Ching things and ask I Ching questions.
Good question - what effect does recognising the line have on my idea of the hexagram? Well... 55 wasn't specifically the redesign for me to start with, it was just a broad imperative: take charge, be decisive, do the work you're called to do, don't faff about, get things done. 'Things' included the redesign, as that had been overdue for years. So my idea of it didn't really change: I think it's still 'do the work you're called to do' plus '...and here is what helps to galvanise you into action, and it's not what you think.'You said you recognized 55 right away as the site redesign. Do you still, after identifying the "Yi lord" as you eventually did? In other words, do you think this reading is addressing two completely different subjects at once? It's something I've seen people (myself included) say is probably "possible," but this would be a rather dramatic example of it, since the two subjects could hardly be more un-alike.
I didn't, but I didn't need to, as I had a couple of 36 readings about specific Yi-lord-ish people and situations immediately afterwards - even one with 36.4, pointing straight back to 55.4. And also because the moment of recognition was very clear. When the penny really drops, it can't be mistaken for anything else.After you figured out what the Yi lord was, did you ask Yi about it, to confirm? Is that something you ever do, or would recommend for or against?
