1 to 2

[humblebumble]

Is 1 changing to 2 always auspicious or always momentous? I asked about moving back to a town I used to live in this year. I can see how this move would be momentous and one of those diverging path moments in life. But is it auspicious? The line appears so. The few experiences in the threads are not as convincing.

What an unusual reading. One thing is it goes all the way back to the beginning, to the I Ching's two fundamentals, which might be fitting for going back to a place. Is it where you're originally from, or just somewhere you once lived?

If it was my reading, I think I'd read everything I could find about both hexagrams, and then think about the interaction. When all of the lines change, they're called complementary or opposite hexagrams. See this thread for a brief explanation of that. You can think of it as a seal and the sealing wax, for instance - complements - the two are in perfect balance. Other times it's more like opposites that can't both exist at once, like wet and dry. Here you have The Creative and The Receptive. Give some thought to whether you think you'd find a good balance there, or if one side would be lost to the other.

Hilary's hexagram essays are good for getting an idea of each. https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/reading/hexagrams/

moving back to a town
1.1.2.3.4.5.6 - 2, if to what you are going back, should be left alone, don´t move. Keep still. If you want to create distance from somebody or something there, go ahead, move back. You will succeed in creating wider space between your and the object immediately.

What great info you've linked. I will take some time to sit down and read in full when I can. To quickly answer your question in the meantime, I left this place to return to where I am from. They are opposite places in many ways and satisfy different needs.

Aha, that makes perfect sense for the reading. Thanks!
