(I'd like advice about the 2nd reading specifically, 40/liberation/release, please, and offer the first paragraphs as backstory)
I have gotten a little too far in with learning about and trading in the stock market in the 10 months. This last week, I had a couple of heavy losses, leading me to think-- hmm, do I hold on (which seems prudent) and wait patiently? ... This is very hard. It's absorbed most of my life of late and doesn't seem to be getting more healthy... but I also know that this could just be a bad week... "the stock market is a machine for transferring money from the impatient to the patient", they say...
I asked yi: "How can I best engage with the stock market right now"
And got 33.5 Retreat/withdrawal to 56 wanderer. A clear message: leave it. Don't make a big deal of it.
If I understand correctly the interplay between the primary and secondary hexagram: retreat's wandering. You know clearly you can leave it but you wander about the notion of retreat, eventually getting to it, though you know it's what you need to do.
In keeping with the reading, the past two days I've been wanderedly retreating.
In the meantime, a nasty fight with my partner. My body aches. I smoke too much. I lose sleep. Am i getting worn thin?
"Yi, ok, what happens if I DON'T change course with the stock market" I ask. I expect a nasty reading of what's to come, which will help me gain clarity and momentum.
40 - Liberation.
This is what I expected not to get. Maybe Yi is speaking past my ego, answering the deeper question? Still, it's so starkly the opposite of what I expected...
