I do get Small Taming often as a clue that i'll be once again in some patriarchal/ macho society where all i stand for will be challenged - and i can't always be nice in such circumstances (long story, but as i said, i have no idea how to make it short.)
Today i asked "the best course of action" for the above mentioned writer's residence and got 44: 1.3.4. to 61. I casted the coins, it's not an online reading and i studied it thoroughly - the changing lines, the nuclear hexagram, the reversed hexagram and read numerous translations and interpretations in order to get a clearer picture what is it saying.
So, what i got from all of it: it seems there will be "chemistry" with somebody there , as if i'll have a crash on somebody or they on me (or both) and that it won't be all that innocent; also, it seems there will be a lot of alcohol or something else around - which is not unheard of in such circumstances.
You are right! Goodness, it's been said so many times not to cling to one (or few) experiences as the text itself - being limited in volume - is (endlessly?) multilayered in meaning AND one and the same judgement or line in different castings can stand for very different things! Thank you so much for reminding me of that!Hi,
Just a little word of advice, go back to the judgement on hex 9 and keep to it. I understand our personal connotations with regards to the hexes, especially overtime and our experience with them, but to lump small taming with patriarchy is going a little too far here i think But i can draw a sort of parallel too where you coming from with it, a sense of delay, being forced to wait and not being able to get the ball rolling, this is all very hex 9, and in a way is similar to women experiencing patriarchy. but stick to the guts of the hex! it has nothing to say on a male-dominated world, but does have a lot to say about everyday smallness, and how these small steps amount to much over time. This principle is universal, and has little to do with being dominated by men. in fact, in hex 9 your being dominated by the weather ie: 'clouds but no rain'. cant change the weather, just have to keep to the everyday bits we have to do and wait for the rain to come.
This shall become my personal mantra for the time being! :bows: I did get it i should chill out and not re-act and you are right, in my experience, usually Yi does refer mostly to my own attitude and how can i correct it (which perfectly makes sense, as most often it's the only thing that can be corrected! )i read this as : your inner truth (61) will be very persuasive,(44). Theres a sense in 61 that you empathise with the plight of others, you delay passing judgement on something ( possibly yi is talking here about your own need for clarification on how this writers course is going to work out, more on your own attitude at the time of casting? cos it kinda fits in with the business of 9, get on with whats right in front of you, keep your feet firmly on terra firma and dont project).
Yxeli, i can't thank you enough for sharing your wisdom, in this very moment it means a world to me! Your insights are indeed meaningful for me and i know intuitively that you are right! Thank you once again :bows:I think your reading hex 44 too literally here with its connotations on sex and debauchery. It also means 'meeting half way'. putting forth a persuasive idea or argument which will benefit your writing maybe. for writing, getting hex 44 for me would signify very good things.

I think your reading hex 44 too literally here with its connotations on sex and debauchery.
Aghh, i did remember hexagram 9... and how literal Yi can get!
Nine in the third place means:
The spokes burst out of the wagon wheels.
man and wife roll their eyes.
'twasn't exactly a wagon, but an airport carriage, the wheel did break and i tripped over it hurting my knee and having bitten my lip (both got swollen)... a man and a woman ran to help me get up...
I do know there is way more to it - will post on that too - but i really needed to share this one!
Amen to that, meng :bows:more than one layer may well be operating simultaneously, without negating one another. Technically, an infinite number, guided only by context.
One of the participants turned out to be abusive when drunk - and that was most of the time; the first escapade, including ethnic slurs from their side, i handled rather calmly and stopped talking to them by day 3 there.
I guess the only good thing about negative readings is that you are prepared for when the going gets tough; they say all disappointment stems from the gap between expectations and reality - at least here 'twasn't the case.
Thanks for the feedback LB, aways good to know how things turn out!
Hahha, TRUE! (Wish they could write equally well, though... i really wouldn't mind then )sounds like this particular writer might have a hemingway complex!
To the contrary, wasn't it for your grounding insights - i would have totally panicked! Nothing is by chance - and i am more and more certain that here on boards, replies of the members who offer help - are inspired and sinchronistic too :bows:but yeah...44 like- maybe i was a little to drastic in stopping your initial perception of it here!
True!agreed. how many time has yi given just enough to think about prior to the fact to keep me on the straight and narrow.
Absolutely! After all - the unpleasant stuff is mostly forgotten - or transformed into some peace of writing, i tend to believe that by undergoing some harsher experiences and transforming them either into wisdom or into art (or both), we in a way become co-creators of our own destinies - of the improved versions that isIm glad you got something out of it in regards to your writing, maybe not a world of new friendships and some fun times- but all was not lost
Yx
