The Oracle is not an 8-ball, and you make the job of divination harder on yourself by asking yes/no questions."Will my father travel to come and stay with me for some weeks during 2011?"
11.4.6>14
Hex 11 and 14 seem encouraging but the moving lines, however, don't....
Hi
I've asked the IC:
"Will my father travel to come and stay with me for some weeks during 2011?"
11.4.6>14
hilary/ said:Hexagram 1, line 3 describes an intensely creative time, lots of change going on, constantly on the alert - yes, maybe some sleepless nights - but the line concludes with the words 'no mistake': nothing seriously wrong, and nothing that needs to be corrected.
"Why will my father have sleepless nights next year?" 26.4.5>1
hilary said:when asked 'why the sleepless nights?' Yi answers with two lines that speak of 'good fortune' and potential problems already disarmed
Anyway, there is no way we can 'prove' a 'right answer' here. I just wanted to put on record that there's more than one way to look at it.
Maybe there is no problem. Maybe no woman will bring any problems of any kind. Maybe there is nothing you need to help with. Maybe there is nothing here that's important for you to know, because there is nothing here.At this stage it is very important for me to know:
a) who this woman is
b) what kind of problems will she bring upon him
c) how can I help him with that specific problem
Maybe there is no problem. Maybe no woman will bring any problems of any kind. Maybe there is nothing you need to help with. Maybe there is nothing here that's important for you to know, because there is nothing here.
See above re-asking questions based on assumptions!
(...)Hilary, is very helpful to know that asking the IC questions which are based on assumptions could be misleading. It is very easy to get an idea out of something and grasp on that as if it was real and get completely lost in an unnecessary turmoil.(...)The fact is that 1.3 has been happening for a while in his life (his sister died last November, he is selling the house he has with his cousin, and something tells me there might be other things going on with the woman he has a relationship with, but as he is so reserved I don’t know much about them), and it is very likely that by next year those 1.3 changes could intensify…
As the 1.3 things seem to be happening in the present and are not a far away prediction, in this particular case, I would like to clarify about the source of those probable intensified problems because I can somehow feel them already and by looking at 55.5 (good influence which can be relied upon) I feel that by being ‘on my toes’ I might be ready to act when things get complicated giving him the support he might come to need.
Here's a thought, just to open out the possibilities a bit: is your father's partner young enough to have, or want, another child?
Or alternatively, is there half a chance her son could have a child that she ends up having to look after?
Maybe, also, all this is a huge distraction from your own relationship with your father? (...) But I notice that in your very first post in this thread, instead of calling your father and saying, 'Hey, would you like to visit some time next year? When could you come over?' you need to ask an oracle to predict what he will do, as if he were some force of nature and not a human being you could talk to. That leaves me with the impression that all is not well here.
I agree completely. There is no better guide.The IC gives us answers and the tools we use to interpret them in each particular case are those answers + the feeling it rings in us with regards of our question, when in tune, we somehow 'know' what the IC is saying to us. Although I can't see through the IC as clearly as more experienced people do, I can still feel if an answer rings true in my guts or not.
Bear with me - just thought of something I should add, as much 'for the record' as anything.
Your gut feeling is your best guide to an answer's meaning; better than any 'expert' interpretation - Willowfox's or mine or even Wilhelm's. But accessing that guide is not necessarily an easy thing. We humans are complex creatures; we have all kinds of responses and reactions arising from all kinds of sources, not all reliable.
Two ways to be more confident that what you're hearing/ feeling is true intuition (not, eg, rationalisation of something you want to believe) -
1) Read and respond to the words of the Oracle itself. Never mind what anyone else (on a forum or in a book) says it means; it's talking to you, not them.
2) Take your time with each reading, nice and slow. Mull it over, let it sink in, listen quietly.
Dear Owl,
You have three readings in succession here warning you not to go on the warpath and try to 'fix' things. Please take care that your suspicions don't damage your relationship with your father.
