I actually believe that if I were to make a bar graph of all my recurring hexagrams, 44 would probably be the most frequent. I am really struggling in pretty much every way - financially, mentally, relationship, jobs. I asked the I-Ching What is the diagnostic of the situation: 44.1.3.5.6 ->...

Trying to advertise an event/service. Advice on how to advertise? (bradford translations) 44.2.3 Dissipation > 11 Interplay .2: "The creel holds a fish. Nothing is wrong, but this will not benefit the guests." .3: "A rump with no skin. One's progress is inferior now. Brutal, but not a complete...

Following up on this thread, I'd like to continue to explore the connections between hexagram judgment texts and image texts. This series will not go in order, though. Moose Elk suggested in that thread that we look at Hexagram 44 next, and indeed, this is one of the more enigmatic patterns...

So I've been asking Yi about money -- how to get it -- for a while and I feel like it's been playing coy -- giving me rather ambiguous answers that I don't understand. I'm considering how to branch off with various options, including starting a business, a nonprofit, getting a job... or maybe...

I keep leaving boyfriend with whom I live hope that my new love and I aren't serious, when actually I love this new guy. I have asked the Oracle what I loose or gain by loosing my ex. Hexagram 44 came as an answer: Sequence Coupling follows from Hexagram 43, Deciding: 'Breaking through must...

Hi guys. So I have been seeing this woman- young girl 25. And in a way I have been reaching out so much to her. With not much in response. She once cared and now seems indifferent. It was never an equal partnership. The ball always being in her court. I know I created this to some extent. And...

I have been wondering if my mom and I will always be close, and according to the readings it is saying the exact opposite. "What will happen between me and my mom"-- 49.1.2.3 to 3 "Is there a way I can always be close to my mom"-- 44.3.4.6 to 29 "Will this relationship with my mom end"-- 8...

My cousin’s husband is making a fool of himself over another woman. He has been a good partner to my cousin and father to their sons but his head seems to have been turned by an admittedly pretty though hardfaced and moody woman who appears to have a certain way with men. He has worked for a...

Hey, My morning chat with Yi around a specific relationship; The Yi seems to be giving me moderately positive readings in the sense that directions need to be sorted, its a beginning of a new phase and don't try for too much, you have to bring the outside world into accord by being consistant...

Hai, As some of you may have already noticed if youve opened up any number of my previous posts, i've been asking the yi alot about potential career paths as i'm currently in a portfolio preparation course for Art (which i'm not at all sure whether i want to pursue), i make music and have a...

Hay everyone, ongoing boy troubles- how original!:rolleyes: I asked, what should my position be regarding this situation now? 44 3.4 to 59 When i looked at Chris Loftings XORing process, he pairs these hexagrams as 'overacting to establish unconditional loyalty'' Does that mean uncondtional...

Hi, all I have been getting Hex. 44 in response to questions about my career and vocation repeatedly, and I'm a little confused. What I'd like your input on is not my particular reading, but why the Yi considers this hexagram so negative. Any thoughts?

Hello everybody, I'd like to know your interpretations about this reading. I'm not an I Ching expert, so any feedback will be appreciated. Context: I met a single man with whom I have special chemistry, the attraction is mutual, but after three months of knowing each other, evident courtship...

My take on 44 is that it means 'contact it but don't unite with it'. Karcher talks about it meaning 'to couple with it' - exactly opposite meanings. What's your take on it? Here's a thread where needing to know this stuff is crucial...
