Hello everyone,
I joined Clarity over a year ago and enjoyed many of the insights and discussions posted on the site. However, only recently have I been compelled to share a reading. Here's the deal:
I recently consulted the Yi in regards to my 4th attempt at procuring my driving licence (I know...its been like Groundhog Day in many respects, without the luxury of being the entertained spectator!). The test is due in mid January next year. To my question, What shall I expect in my next driving test? I was answered: 47 Oppression; 3.5.6. -> 64 Before Completion. Although I was particularly amazed at the accuracy and effectiveness of the reading I obtained, a true "WOW" moment when the oracle just hits the nail on the head, there is a passage (i'm using Wilhelm's translation predominantly) I wish I had more insight into which I feel I'm only partly understanding, but compelled to know more about. The verse is as follows:
47; 6 in the 3rd
"A man permits himself to be oppressed by stone
and leans on thorns and thistles.
He enters his house and does not see his wife.
Misfortune"
Each failure has not made me stronger but progressively more vulnerable and I've exerted more pressure on myself at each attempt (character flaw). Surprisingly, my driving is pretty good, but my main hurdle has been my attitude and during a period where I've felt increasingly overwhelmed by responsibility and always put to the test with time against me (the test, the birth of my Now, how I read the first half, to me, is fairly straightforward: the triviality (in a sense) of this worldly hurdle (test/stone) is part of the issue, and Ive been letting a relatively small affair get to me in an unnecessarily deep way which has recursively led to more anxieties and blocks as well as financial and practical losses.2nd child and dissertation deadline all fall in Jan), I've pretty much frozen in moments where I've needed to act and get on with material things. The Yi confirmed all of this and more.
Where I seek clarification is mainly the final line of this verse about the "wife", as well as any additional insights on the hexagrams in question. This particular line intuitively jumped out at me but I still don't have a clear understanding of what it means to me yet. Any help would be immensely appreciated
Thank you in advance

Now, how I read the first half, to me, is fairly straightforward: the triviality (in a sense) of this worldly hurdle (test/stone) is part of the issue, and Ive been letting a relatively small affair get to me in an unnecessarily deep way which has recursively led to more anxieties and blocks as well as financial and practical losses.
.Interestingly the yang change pattern (pattern changing lines make) is 53, gradual progress, so it looks as if you will get there it just takes time, as you have seen. The yin pattern is 50, cooking...so it's important what ingredients you put in the pot
[/QUOTE]Don't get too emotionally attached to the exam, try to keep it calm and reserved, don't let nothing distract you. And if you fail, oh well, it's probably not the time for you yet.
Line 6 says something similar, Wilhelm:
A man is oppressed by bonds that can easily be broken. The distress is drawing to an end. But he is still irresolute; he is still influenced by the previous condition and fears that he may have cause for regret if he makes a move. But as soon as he grasps the situation, changes this mental attitude, and makes a firm decision, he masters the oppression.
Hex 50, The Cauldron.
I think it says: "Follow the recipe to the point, then you will get your delicious meal."
You can't blame another person or heavens for forgetting to put salt in the soup, or leaving the lid on for too long.
Excerpt from Paul O'Brien's comment on h50: "A fresh approach to old habits is indicated in a period of rejuvenation. Look for ways of putting new life into old forms; for only when great vitality is present, can breakthroughs be achieved."
"47.6 usually comes when the obstruction/ problem is less less less bigger that I fell it is . Maybe there lies the anxiety of 64 ?"
47.3 is quite sharp....it's a warning not to look for support (the wife) where there actually isn't any. Somewhere in the question you misjudged where your support is. So, as driving is a great support as a skill to have I thought by not giving it full attention you weren't nourishing that....whereas if you can give it more attention there are no obstacles there (47.6).
