I'm a mid-life full time student, becoming a creative and missing my sport, living on student loans. But I always miss my sport and I'm always broke so ...The question was: should I continue on this career path. Any thoughts? Thanks Happy new year :)

Hi Bethan, nice to meet you.

I'm not sure what you mean by "seems like the harder I try the more I create controversy," but you told us your question so let's go with that.

One thought about the hexagrams might be what are you planning to do with this education? A well is a manmade structure built for a purpose, to reach water. So what are you trying to reach, and will more school help you get there?

At first glance hexagram 57 doesn't seem like a very direct way to get there. 57 is gentle wind, which can have big effects like wearing down rock, but it can take a long time and you can't see it happening.

However - in time wind can produce big effects, and in the meantime maybe you're getting to know your new field intimately, like wind penetrates every crevice.

Does it feel like that to you, or more the other way, where you're blowing and blowing without noticing any results?

Line 6 -

'Penetrating down under the stand.
Losing your property and symbol axe.
Constancy, pitfall.'

I think this connects nicely to the Well idea. Is school helping you build something concrete? It doesn't really sound like it, does it? "Losing your property" might be all the money you're spending - or not being able to earn - or the debt you're incurring. "...and symbol axe" - an axe is a tool, a powerful sharp one, that lets you chop through things. School is a great tool, too - but here Yi says you're losing it.

And "Constancy, pitfall" - any chance maybe you've already gotten the useful stuff out of school, and continuing with it is having the opposite effect now?

Is this today's brain teaser to keep the forum on it's toes.


What connection is the title of the thread to the question?

Unless......the very fact the title has no connection to the thread is itself the controversy or should I say mystery. Well we are talking about it so.....

Did you have any ideas about the reading ? It's better to give us your thoughts first.

Hex 57 follows on from Hex 56 where you have not been able to find a settled place of acceptance. Hex 57 calls on the qualities of authenticity, humility, flexibility and determination as you work to follow the callings of your heart and manifest them in your world.

It may be that in the past you have noticed patterns where the way you look to follow your path has brought increased controversy into your life and because of this you are questioning whether you are right to follow the creative path that you have chosen. You are faced with challenges right now stemming from the depths of this long running situation in which you have found great difficulty in making appropriate decisions about major life matters and allowing your decision making to be confused by things of lesser importance. You are now offered opportunity to rectify this.

Hex 48 indicates that you are in needing to approach life with an eye towards replenishment. Reconnecting with the core of your being, from which you have become detached. You have been thrown into this situation directly at the point of 57.6. 57.6 indicates that you have lost the strength in your way of being 'under the bed' and that further progress beyond this point, if you allow your past behaviours and beliefs to continue to rule the roost, will be minimal.

It sounds like you are being urged to give careful consideration to all that has been happening in your world and how you have been approaching life and to give consideration to whether sometimes it can be enough just to be happy with what you already have.

...or it may mean nothing like this at all for you,

Good Luck
