I wish you could help we with a reading.

My uncle passed away today suddenly. The next couple of days, members of the family will have to gather together. What worries me those gathering because of unsolved and sad issues. His brothers and sisters have been unfair to him and the only people that he had lately was me and my brothers. We supported him emotionally and about practical things, something that others didn’t like.

I’m worried about the times we have to be all together and I felt I needed some guidance from Yi.

The only question I could form was “Now what ?” ( in the back of my mind was how to handle those meetings and the funeral) and I got 56.3.4.6 > 2

I can’t see clearly . I assume that it says that its not a easy situation .
Anything you can say it will be appreciated.

Thank you
Maria

hello Maria
I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences to you and your family . .
you know I 'm not too experienced with readings but I can give this a try . .

big picture: 56 and 2, the traveler goes to the ground . . we are all travelers here aren't we? this looks like it is describing the situation . . you are going to walk him to his last abode

I have only a vague idea of the lines but general advice is about avoiding conflict. It is going to be hard, because everyone will be in turmoil and things will be in tempest till the last moment, so you have to be strong and calm
maybe you could ask for directions on how you can handle this situation specifically?

wish you all the best in this rough time -hold tight, this too shall pass

Dear Maria,
My sincere condolences to you for the loss of your uncle.
As 56 is about moving on and 2 is the receptive earth. I see the I Ching as first simply stating what has happened, that your Uncle has passed on and his body is being laid to rest.. This simple awareness seems to be a good place to start in dealing with the relatives, that is, to know that our goal here is to acknowledge his passing and to lay all the drama to rest.
Looking at the lines..

56.3
The Wanderer's inn burns down.
He loses the steadfastness of his young servant.
Danger.

Could the inn be seen as his body? Are you the young servant? But you did not give up on him. The third line is the position of major change and always difficult. Could Inn represent Family and Is this line saying that during this time of change you are concerned with how to maintain good relations with the relatives?

56.4
The Wanderer rests in a shelter.
He obtains his property and an ax.
My heart is not glad.

Perhaps line three was about your uncle doing things that caused him to lose the steadfastness of his siblings, and now in line four we see how he found shelter with you.

56.6
The bird's nest burns up.
The wanderer laughs at first,
Then must needs lament and weep.
Through carelessness he loses his cow.
Misfortune.

Again not sure who is what in this line. Perhaps this is telling us your uncle was sorry about the misunderstandings and perhaps even knew that he was somewhat responsible? Or perhaps you are being cautioned not to lose sight of the bigger picture here and not to get caught up in pettiness at the funeral, not to lose your sense of calm.

It does read like your uncle had a troubled home life, maybe always sensing he was an outsider. I think you can take comfort from line 4 in that it sounds like he did find family with you.

Warm hug to you,
rosada

Dora and Rosada, thank you for your warm words.

I believe that you are both right about the big picture of 56> 2. The Wanderer returns to earth’s womb. This was my first though when I heard that he left and when I got hexs 56>2. I hope he will be ok in his new home and have someone to take care of him.

Rosada, yes, those lines are part of his story. He was a wanderer. When we talk we make fun with him by telling that aside the outer resemblance he was very different from his family. And he was laughing.

I was looking in the lines to find advises, what to do , how to respond to things that might happen. Well, now I don’t care. Let them say, or do whatever they want. What I have to do , is not to disturb the peace of his journey.

Thank you both for your help.
:hug:

Maria

I see this very much in an instant snapshot sense. This is a temporary situation, having to be with these people (56) i think the way to get through it is hex 2. Hex 2 can be about simply following what is laid out for one to do, not taking intitiative, following rules. A funeral with all its formalities and rules and preparations and so on gives everyone a pretty strong framework around how to act, i think it can be one of those times formalites and protocal can be a blessing. I think if i were you I might take this as advice to firstly keep remembering how transitory the situation will be. In order to get through the time well simply follow the guidelines around the whole process. Focus on what to do next as it is laid out in front of you.(hex 2) Don't deviate from that or bring up other issues. Theres so much to arrange and organise with a funeral, its a ceremony, a time where one just follows the ceremony, the procedure. I don't know but it may help for you to keep returning everyones attention to the business in hand, arrangements and so on. This may be quite protective for you emotionally..like a mare with blinkers on treading the set path, not looking to right or left or getting too involved in disruptive passing elements.

oh crossed posts..yes agree with your last sentence. You do what you need to do to honour his life without being distracted by other elements

Misread your post, trojan, and I thought you wrote, "Don't get involved with disruptive passing elephants." Those may not have been your exact words but I think it's good advice. Keep focused on what you need to do, Maria, and you wont get stepped on!

lol Liked your interpretation BTW. Its good when we all see it from different angles, I don't think they even contradict, its like we see different layers
