I have been considering grad school for what feels like forever; I don’t want to leave my present work but I do have more writing and research I want to do in the future and have wanted to do further study. I don’t feel sure yet how I want to specialize (even though it’s tempting to rush that process.) I realized that for the fields I’m considering and even some certifications it would be useful to have a second BA in psychology. Usually you only need to take the classes for the major in order to do that (and I already have a few) so I asked “if I did a second bachelor’s in psychology” and received 48.5 > 46.

This is, of course, a really nice line, generally. I liked seeing 46 because this is what I want to do, take some step forward and be prepping for when I’m fully ready to make a bigger decision. That could also simply be the backdrop to the question though. I’m wondering if you perceive 48.5 as something that I would actually use in a practical way or could this simply be saying “yes you can do that and there’s something there to learn”.

In your experience has this been a more passive line? Or an indicator od something to action? I’ve sometimes had this line when something is there and I know it but for whatever reason not much happens with it. Not sure if this reading is saying something like “Yes, and…” as if the idea is incomplete or simply giving me a nice line because this makes sense and is a natural fit.

I went through my journal to see if this cast advised me towards action or not. On one occasion it did and it turned out well. On all other occasions (got it quite a few times) it seems to have meant something like, "the situation is absolutely clear", or, "you need total clarity on this", or even, "do your part by being fully clear".

So a second bachelor would bring you clarity. Or. it could be saying that you need to be clear about everything regarding this course. See this as a step about which you have to be aware of all details. 48 can also show a bank account, so can you afford it? Or, will it fill up your bank account if you take this course? Make sure you cover all corners before deciding.

Red oleander: just to be clear, is your question 'what if I do a second bachelor's degree'? Or thereabouts? (A fine query I think.) It seems like your asking (only?) about our experiences with this line, or about how passive / active it is? Assuming, however, that you are also open to our interpretations ...

... it is simply saying “yes, you can do this and there’s 'a well flowing clear, and an icy spring. So yes, Drink!'" (based on trans. by Rutt).

And with the fifth line moving, you have upper trigrams Water (from 48) and Earth (from 46), which is encouragement to both delve deeply into whatever you do, and at the same time to be practical and 'down to earth' about this endeavor.

I hope that's useful.

Thank you so much @diamant and @dfreed this is all really helpful. I do think it’s a positive reading and something that makes sense for me; getting more clarity on specifics would be really essential because I want to do it affordably and also to plan in advance exactly which prerequisites I need for future. The “it clear” part makes sense too because it’s not really a long shot or impulsive decision at all, it’s pretty straightforward and something sort of obvious and attainable.
