I have make some thoughts re lines 4 and 6 but I can’t understand at all hex 4 here.
Maybe if we take the long way, what Bradford called transitional hexagrams, it will make more sense (forgive me if I get this wrong, I am still learning how to do it):Hi all,
I wonder if you can help me with a reading.
It’s the 3d week I suffer from severe headaches. I assume its because I’m in the middle of very stressful times in many areas of my life....
The question was “ what do I need to know about the headaches” got 40.4,6 > 4. ( note about 4, I have asked once so its not about asking many questions)
'Releasing the thumbs also.
Partners arrive, hence truth and confidence.'
Grasp less, hang on less (to your ideas of how this should work out), allow more, and hence enjoy a more spontaneous, true friendship.
Release’s army – slackening the standards for recruitment, relaxing about it, allows the noble one to gather crowds. Being more accepting means becoming richer – in friendship, and in experience. This is release’s way of becoming more efficient, getting to the goal faster – actually being less disciplined/ controlled.
'The great leader has a mandate
To found a state and receive the households.
Don't use small people.'
The battle is won; time to found the new state. The requirements now have changed... Now instead of organising everything towards one objective, you must juggle several considerations (or people or interests), make space for them all, create harmony. Small people are no use because you need innovative, imaginative thinking.
7 zhi Hexagram 4, the Army Not Knowing. The military leader knows how to lead armies, not how to found states. And he has also reached the point where he does not know the future, which hitherto he did, being busy creating it. A new profusion of tasks and challenges. On the one hand you get here because you have been systematic and taken responsibility for making things happen. On the other hand, now you can only lay out the ground plan.
ah... and don't forget Confucius' comment on line 40.6. You didn't achieve the lesson of that line in past October...but in that line is hidden the way to move forward.
The hawk is the object of the hunt; bow and arrow are the tools and means. The marksman is man (who must make proper use of the means to his end). The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has made ready the means.

The root of the headaches is like a Gordian knot and I’m not sure if I have to untie it or cut it. Have been thinking about the difference between 40 and 59. (59 was a previous reading ). Still not clear in my mind, that difference.

If the headaches persist, I have some relevant experience with helping headache victims using nutrition, herbs, etc. This is also a change in tactics...you may be holding too tight to an old diet and eating habits not suited to your current age and conditions.Hi Tiger,
I was about to check transitional method . Thanks
Need some time to check the lines myself, But i hear what to say about change tactics.
Interesting point. I personally have found the Gordian knot to be a complex network of ones own life: all the trials, failures, disappointments, mostly with oneself, and responsibilities. Whether it's better to break from that or to try to gently unweave all that been woven (isn't that what keeps the therapists alive?), is hard to say. I would interpret 40 as more the former. For me, it would depend how badly the knots are dug into the whole spool of line. There is a way to untangle a backlash, but if at some point(s) the line was pulled hard out of frustrations, then that digs the knots deeper into the spool. Such an impossible entanglement requires breaking or cutting free, recovering what is realistically usable to go on, and going on.
hi Maria . .
maybe something like
40: a shower of rain
59: ice melting in the poles
I also remember someone here saying how in 40 we let it happen while in 59 we make it happen . . 59 somehow feels more slow, gradual . . maybe 40 can also be part of 59, like big chunks of ice collapsing after dissolution has gradually made its way . .

hope you'll get rid of that hawking grip and feel better soon . .
take care!!

One unsolicited idea: try to become more alkaline, by eating more raw vegetables. Sometimes acidity is a necessary element to allow or trigger the headache.
I will not clog up the thread further, but you can message me if you want to discuss
Best,
Tiger
