Potential project, 12.4.6 > 8

[vng78]

Hi All,

I asked Yi about a new project that I just came across that will require finding other investors in order to fund it:

What can I expect from the possible cooperation in the project? The Yi responded 12.4.6 > 8. My take is that this will be a tough project and I will learn a lot from it but more importantly as indicated by line 6, things will turn out well where obstruction is being ended?

Two days later I started talking to more people about the project and received mixed response. I then asked the Yi:

What is my best course of action regarding this project and received 45 unchanging.

Upon asking for more clarity, the Yi responded 64.2.5.6 > 45!

My take in this hex is that I need to persevere in all the difficulties to get this project moving but line 6 really confuses me as I can't really make anything out of it. Some translation that I'm following says that there is confidence in me that is not based on reality of the project and I'm guessing I need to do much more research before committing to the project?

Any insights will be much appreciated.

Thank you
Vince

What can I expect from the possible cooperation in the project?
12.4.6 > 8

Nine in the fourth place means:
He who acts at the command of the highest
Remains without blame.
Those of like mind partake of the blessing.

Nine at the top means:
The standstill comes to an end.
First standstill, then good fortune.

When a clump is pulled up, its roots are exposed. You should research the roots of this project in detail and formulate a clear plan. Others will share in the project when they are persuaded it is viable. Since you are initiating the project, your reputation depends on its success.

Hello Vince,

Indeed. Looking at it from another angle I'd say the lines in Hex 12 depict your current concerns and situation, resulting in an overthrow of the obstacles ... a breakthrough.

Hex 45 'Clustering' suggests that forming an association would be beneficial.
The lines in 64>45 reinforce the message, indicate the project would
eventually meet with success ... I dare say.

Hex. 12 'Obstruction'
The situation described in this hexagram is characterized by a disjunction of heaven and
earth temporarily interrupting the flow of life and thwarting communication and development.
To obstruction belongs in no way people.

Not harvesting a jun zi's Trial.
The great going, the small coming.

Line 4
Possessing fate, without fault.
Culminating radiant satisfaction.
Comments: Purpose moving indeed.

Line 6
Subverting the obstruction.
Beforehand obstruction, afterwards joy.
Comments: Obstruction completed by consequence subverting.
Is it permitted long-living indeed?

Hex 45 Clustering
The situation described by this hexagram is characterized by people or things
assembling and forming compact clusters, like grass densely intertwined.

Clustering. Growing. The king imagines possessing a temple.
Harvesting: viewing the great in the person. Growing. Harvesting. Trial.
Availing of the great's sacrificial-victims, significant.
Harvesting: possessing directed going.

Hex 64 Not Yet Fording
The situation described by this hexagram is characterized by involvement
in a process which is still far from completion, being on the brink of a move
whose outcome cannot yet be discerned.

'Not yet fording.
Growing.
The small fox in a muddy ford.
Soaking its tail.
Without direction Harvesting.'

Line 2
Pulling back one's wheels.
Trial, significant.
Comments: Nine at second: Trial, significant.
In the center using movement to correct indeed.
(Possibly step back, reflect, do your 'homework'.)

Line 5
Trial, significant, without repenting.
To a jun zi belongs shining.
Possessing conformity, significant.
Comments: To a jun zi belongs shining.
One's brilliance significant indeed.

Line 6
Possessing conformit tending towards drinking liquor.
Without fault.
Soaking one's head.
Possessing conformity: letting go that.
Comments: Drinking liquor, soaking the head.
Truly not knowing articulation indeed.
(The caution here is to exercise restraint when
tempted to do anything in excess).

If you're looking for biz. associates/partners, trust that the right person(s) will appear at
an opportune time.

64.6 is generally a kind of promise that what you want will come to pass...a prediction, there will be cause to celebrate on the matter enquired about.

All you have to bear in mind is when that time comes remember the advice here...keep sober, keep your feet on the ground, enjoy the celebration but don't go on and on celebrating when its time to get back to work

Of course a 'celebration' can refer to inner feelings of pleasure/ elation as well as going out and literally getting drunk

Generally seems to me you should go on in your endeavours

Thank you so much pocossin, themis and trojan for your insights, guidance and encouragement. My gut feel is also inline with your interpretation/conclusion. I have a good feeling about this one but I still can't really see the road that far ahead so I'll stick to what I can do here and now and believe Yi will guide me along the way.

Thank you again
Vince
