Nine in the fourth place means:
Its coming is sudden;
It flames up, dies down, is thrown away.


Six in the fifth place means:
Tears in floods, sighing and lamenting.
Good fortune.


Is this a positive or negative hexagram? I asked the I Jing for a suggestion to a plan I had in mind. 30,4 seems negative, but 30.5 seems mixed? In the end, it says 37. Does it mean stick to family, or that friends and family can help?

Line 30.4 suggests that your idea will go nowhere, it will disappear as quickly as it appeared. Line 30.5 is saying that you will at last understand that your idea is not realistic and you will most likely feel quite upset for a while but nevermind there is always something else around the corner. The good fortune is that you see that it will go nowhere and therefore not pursue it.

Crisis

I think you are in a crisis or feel you are, and your plan will cause you to act in such a way that great beauty flames up or manifests, but only briefly.

Line 5 moving indicates bitter regret or sorrow. However, if you cry and show your sorrow, someone powerful may commiserate with you. The indication is good that someone more powerful than yourself might help you through your sorrows.

Specifically, I think this question has to do with a crisis. Or there is a sense of crisis. You just might get the help you need if you "let it all hang out" and show someone just how distressed you really are.

This is my advise to you: hold fast to your plan in general and gather the people you need to succeed with your overall goal. Bring people together or re-unify them. In the hexagram array I am looking at with reference to your question, I see not only 37, but also 13 and 45. These have to do with fellowship away from home and building a group. Often we have to sacrifice to build a group, but it turns out to be worth it. The I Ching is telling you it is worth it. Take a stand.

Thanks Barbra. It is a sense of crisis, with alot of work to be done to complete the plan. Somehow I feel directed towards it as it seems to be part of what I should do. Yes, I need to gather people with concrete support and it does have to do with people and being away from home. Thank you!

actually, even if the oracle disagrees with what I should do, I would do it anyway; when things are more in view, usually the oracle gives a different answer.
