So, I had a late night & busy day yesterday - I cleaned out the chimney to my stove myself & was thinking / feeling about the entire winter & where my emotions were as I stacked the winter fuel last autumn, compared to now (nearly summer)

So I'm tired today, & due to clock on for work (a tarot phone line), but I'm still feeling tired & happy to be tired & peaceful - planted some herbs earlier, pottered around etc

Normally, I would clock I'll in, fit my other tasks around the calls, but I keep hesitating today, feeling that I need the space

It's also the anniversary of my spirit daughter tomorrow - she came early at 22 weeks; she would be 19; so yes this is a time of year to be gentle with myself

However, I asked Yi about clocking on in a half an hour & I got Hexagram 50 -> hexagram 15

Line 2​

'The vessel contains something real.
My companions are afflicted,
Cannot come near me.
Good fortune.'

Line 4​

'The vessel's legs break off,
The prince's stew is upset,
Dignity soiled.
Pitfall.'

Line 6​

'The vessel has a jade handle
Great good fortune,
Nothing that does not bear fruit.'



Line 4 instantly made me think of a particularly difficult client, (from LA) who argues when you don't give her the answers she wants (!? It's a reading?) & also tries to do ceremonies & rituals during readings, some personal twisting of ascension hogwash (reptile aliens are after her & robot dimensional insects, cloning vats etc, so she 'banishes' & 'quarantines' everything she doesn't like; entire countries, trees, people, imaginary planes & dimensions, cats, etc) - honestly I feel that she is reading some 'ascension' website & making this k-rap up, or getting readings from ppl, then putting it online somewhere... yeah, but it's draining, I clocked out last night after a call, realising that I could not stand the vibrations in her voice, it just *grated* inside of me in a bad way

I do have other clients who are fine, who I want to be available for; it's just this particular one, I'm not sure if she's mentally ill, or just drank a lot of ascension cool aid (btw i think it's a white supremacist appropriative 'chosen one' cult).
Yes, so line 2 made me think of her, her voice dropping with anger & 'how dare this homeless man look at me ewww' sort of vibes; as in, I'm in a sacred, self caring space & that kind of energy will upset the 'sacred vessel' I'm carrying (planting herbs, consciously cleaning the winter, reflecting etc) (line 4)

But then I remembered that a lot of clients will ring just as I begin to eat - after no calls for a few hours - which is interesting as they are all at least 5 -8 time zones away, on another continent.

But then, upon contemplating the spilled pot some more, & also the pot filled with a rich meal, I realized that I had a dinner made since yesterday, some roast veg & nut roast in the oven & that I am hungry & that if I clock on, the readings will arrive & I might spill a pot (& my rich, unstealable, excellent meal), so that I should just have my dinner first, before clocking on!
This answer sort of resonated through to me so strongly that I felt that it is worth sharing


I do think hexagram 50 is also about boundaries - as in what is sacred, how do you carry (honour, allow space) for it; How you must 'consume' (ie digest, appreciate, listen, absorb) what gathers into your sacred space: how you need to guard it (line 4) & how practice (& mishaps) help you to learn, refine your 'sacred-ing', buffing up those jade handles

Also, line 4 could be my feelings over a very difficult client, whom I cant help & constantly have to declare boundaries ("I'm not comfortable with you doing these ceremonies in a call, pls hang up & call back later"; "Im sorry but I dont get any answer to that question" etc) - yes I feel very disrespected by her, I feel she disrespects the sacred act of divination ("I'm a paying customer & you will answer my questions as I ask them!"), but my frustration & exasperation & at times anger could also upset my sacred vessel - so it is important to have boundaries around your sacred spaces, and your inner emotional processes
