We live on a high floor and the building doesn't have an elevator. I saw that an apartment on a lower floor had become vacant and I kind of wondered if my husband and I might do better overall if we arranged with the landlord to live on a lower floor. So I asked the Yi about it and got hexagram 16 unchanging.
I have often gotten hex 16 unchanging when feeling dissatisfied and thinking some change might make our situation better, but I just do not understand the message of hex 16 unchanging. It seems to be saying nothing specific at all. Maybe just: Follow the path of least resistance. (?)
Envisioning can be real enthusiasm to make ready for the next stage, or can be empty fantasy. I don't feel you'd have drawn this if the move were a bad idea, I really don't...
That's an interesting take on this hexagram, Trojan.
I wanted to say: No matter how enthusiastic we are about something, we are thinking in certain ways, and the Universe operates in other ways entirely. I think we might have noticed that by now . . . Having a good idea + enthusiasm is just not enough. One only wears oneself out following dreams, or helping other people follow dreams.
Oh, well, I know life is all a dream anyway, but why can't I live my dream on a lower floor?
I think it means 'making ready'. Imagining the future is preparation and so are practical steps to make ready for the future. I think you see a real possibility here, the Yi is reflecting your attitude and mindset. For this question I think I would go ahead and ask the landlord fairly soon

Bamboo's talked about the emotional dimension of 16, and sees the oracle as asking you 'are you up for it?'
I see 16 less enquiring into your capacity, and more as saying what you need to do to take advantage of the situation: gear up, prepare, rouse yourself.
Another take - hexagram 16 is somehow very much "upward" and my first impression when I saw this answer was that the Yi was saying "stay high".
I mean literally, high in the building!
I have lived high and low in buildings and I noticed that the energy/atmosphere can be quite different.
Has living higher, although it means having to climb all those stairs, advantages too?
It depends on the building I guess, and the environment, but the energy up there is perhaps lighter, less heavy?
Well, it's a little bit closer to heaven ..

I would say this hexagram means that your "move" is in harmony with the meaning of the time. It does relate somewhat to "following the line of least resistance." Often 16 refers to our ability or lack thereof of getting others to help us in our endeavors. One enlists the support of others by showing enthusiasm and sincerity in approaching others with the plans they envision. W/B defines this hexagram as the law for natural events. In other words, if you are really enthused, you are likely to enlist others to your line of thought, to your dreams. Sounds to me like you should go for it. It will develop naturally.

hello Ginnie,We live on a high floor and the building doesn't have an elevator. I saw that an apartment on a lower floor had become vacant and I kind of wondered if my husband and I might do better overall if we arranged with the landlord to live on a lower floor. So I asked the Yi about it and got hexagram 16 unchanging.
Well, no, there wasn't enough ooommmmpppphhh behind that hex 16. There would have to have been a harmonious coming together of a number of people, and that just did not happen.
Hi Lisa,
Maybe it was a regrettable decision, because as I get older the stairs get harder and harder to climb. Maybe that was a rare chance to escape to a lower floor. But I just did not have the energy at that time.
I think hexagram 16 UC was saying, "It's possible, if you can get yourself together and actually do it." What is needed is a clear will to make the effort to go through with it. In my case, I was of two minds about that other apartment.
16 - Youth
Youth can be mobilized. It is a period of indecision which will be emerged through involvement.
