Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting my head into gear today, BIG changes going on in my life, earlier I asked "What forces are at work in my life?" Hex 8 unchanging - trying to become more unified within myself?

Then I asked "How do I get fully in touch with my higher Self?" 21:1 = 35 could this line represent the severance of an outmoded relationship which hasn't served my true self, I now feel as though I have finally taken the bull by the horns and removed myself from the situation because it is holding me back from being fulfilled? of course I feel upset, is what is being represented in 21:1 a deviation from the path, I've been temporarily knocked off course.

Most of all I'm struggling a bit with "What is my special gift in this life?" 43:1,2,5 = 62 - this question stemmed from now being aware that I have to fully use my inner guidance and talents and adhere to this...it's all about being truely fulfilled, wanting the best for myself, to flourish, be in a fulfilling relationship, live my life according to love and light.

I'm not really getting the drift here at all...think my head is too caught up in all the cr@p today! I'd appreciate a wee bit of help if any one has the time. :)

Hi shelbymustang,
I'm not as good at this as some of the pros on the board but I"ll give you my interpretation and do take it with a grain of salt.

Hexagram 43 signifies a breakthrough, a change in condition, something giving way and the light coming through. It sounds like that is what you are looking for: a way to listen to your higher Self.

I found this elsewhere about 43: "In a resolute struggle of the good against evil, there are, however, definite rules that must not be disregarded, if it is to succeed. First, resolution must be based on a union of strength and friendliness. Second, a compromise with evil is not possible; evil must under all circumstances be openly discredited. Nor must our own passions and shortcomings be glossed over. Third, the struggle must not be carried on by force. If evil is branded, it thinks of weapons, and if we do it the favor of fighting against it blow for blow, we lose in the end because thus we ourselves get entangled in hatred and passion. Therefore it is important to begin at home, to be on guard in our own persons against the faults we have branded. In this way, finding no opponent, the sharp edges of the weapons of evil become dulled. For the same reasons we should not combat our own faults directly. As long as we wrestle with them, they continue victorious. Finally, the best way to fight evil is to make energetic progress in the good. "

"If a man were to pile up riches for himself alone, without considering others, he would certainly experience a collapse. For all gathering is followed by dispersion. Therefore the superior man begins to distribute while he is accumulating. In the same way, in developing character he takes care not to become hardened in obstinacy but to remain receptive to impressions by help of strict and continuous self-examination."

I gather from that that your own gift will be following suit, ie, not hoarding your talents but sharing them, and remaining open to self examination and further revelation.

I have trouble with the lines in this case but this is my best take:
Line 1 You begin with determiniation but there is some conflict or obstacle along the way.
Line 2 You overcome that obstacle. [The path isnt easy but you do overcome it.]
Line 5 Perseverence is required to keep the obstacles at bay. It's not a one-time thing.

For 62, Tread carefully, allow feelings full expression, but don’t pour resources into the grave.

I hope this is of some help!
-elizabeth

Thank you Elizabeth for taking the time to mull over my enquiry (and stimulate you into enquiring similarly?)


I THINK I know where you're coming from...though further insight from you or any other wise folks would be very welcome! :)


The line of work I am in (it's hardly work because it is SO cool!) is working with flower essences, energy work etc. I basically seem to do a lot of councelling, helping people work out energetic patterns and blockages from this life and previous ones maybe, which are making them physically or emotionally ill at ease, and trying to help them to help themselves free up with the aid of essences and an open mind and open heart.

I base this on my own experiences and struggles I have encountered in this life (maybe previous ones too) i.e. if events have had a profound effect on me and I can somehow understand and negate these events and continue to flourish then I'm sure as h£ll not going to keep it to myself, I WANT other people to be their best as well and if my experiences and knowledge of essences can help others then it's wonderful. My way of doing all this is to try and remain the regular woman I am - grounded, no nonsense Scots woman who can talk to anyone and keep it as real and as usable to anyone who wants some help (many folks in this type of environment can be pretty spacey and that puts a lot of folk off)...

So I'm continually examining myself (mentally/emotionally/spiritually) because I get into scrapes (usually with men!) and I try to learn from these things and utilise them in my working life.

So perhaps the I-ching is saying precisely this: that the talents I have are to be shared even though this isn't always an easy thing to do because I have to live through a whole load of cr@p first in order to pass my findings on to others. So I've found my gift and am utilising it already? Ehhh am I right?

PS: Happy Thanks Giving to all our American members! :)
