A question about: How will my life go on? - 56.2.5.6 to 28

[HarryK]

Good day

I hope you are all well & safe.

Today I'm seeking your advise on my reading from late yesterday evening related to the question:

• How will my life go on or develop?
• Result: 56 - with changing lines two, five and six ...
• ... and going forward with Hexagram: 28

I'm having difficulties with line six as I don't understand how to coordinate the reading between both hexagrams and the three changing lines/fates. Between us and to be hones: The question I asked had (what else) an emotional dynamic background. I'm single for a long time being now - since I moved under my own "roof" seven or eight years ago. Putting the question and the background into one umbrella; it's also a view on development in order of not being alone anymore.

My own thoughts:
56 - Wandering: Inner traveling and trying to figure out where i'm going. Leaving everything behind and trying to find my own blue moon.
56.Two - Trying to find a home in my context of finding a home with the love one. But instead I was not lucky enough so I build my one home.
56.Five - I was successful in building my own home. People (i.e. my parents) supported me; but the most was 'selfmade.' Other saw this and congratulates how I managed my life - more or less - alone. I shot the pheasant.
56.Six - This one is hard for me as I can't put it in a rational context. Your help is highly appreciated.

Knocking on Hexagram: 28 - Is the above situation getting to a critical mass? I feel my own pressure as I'm 35 now and, well let's say it this way that, the loneliness is hitting hard now.

What is the recommendation here and what is 56.Six trying to show me?

Thanks & yours
-Harry

What made you go ahead with building your own home? I think if you go back to the answer to that question you'll find the answer to Line 6.
It just sounds like you haven't dealt with something, so despite the greatness of having your own physical home you haven't found your inner home.

How will my life go on or develop? 56.2.5.6 > 28
it's also a view on development in order of not being alone anymore

You asked about your life from now on, so the answer does not refer to things which have already happened (getting your own home).

56 means (among other things) loneliness. There's an end of your loneliness on the horizon. This will be a temporary affair, which will look more like a financial transaction (paying for a hotel and a servant) (56.2). This will progress very quickly and abruptly, the affair will become a relationship with a single shot (56.5). Something will go wrong, though. Line 56.6 shows a catastrophe. Your home will burn down (I hope not literally!) and you'll lose your valued possessions. Resulting 28 is an unbearable situation.

In short, be aware that such a scenario will approach you at some point soon. Be warned that it does not lead to anything good. Your life's further development will depend on how you react to this scenario.

Diamant and Becalm - thank you for your response.

@diamant
Your explanation is kind of hardcore-hollywood-movie scenario. I've spend some time in researchers on this hexagram. The longer I monitore this combination of Hexagram 56 and 28 the more I think that this is not my fate that is shown to me but the fate of someone else - maybe.

Still open for any thoughts or experience with the above combo.

I'm having difficulties with line six as I don't understand how to coordinate the reading between both hexagrams and the three changing lines/fates. Between us and to be hones: The question I asked had (what else) an emotional dynamic background. I'm single for a long time being now - since I moved under my own "roof" seven or eight years ago. Putting the question and the background into one umbrella; it's also a view on development in order of not being alone anymore.

There's a lot of pressure for you somewhere in the life situation you find yourself (28) and there is something of a pressing need to 'get out from under'. This may be an emotional need or a non specific need, just a feeling. In 28 being alone is mentioned in the Image I think, from Hilary's translation in wikiwing

'The lake submerges the tree. Great overstepping.
Noble one (Harry) sets up alone without fear,
Withdraws from the time without sadness.'

It could refer to the past background to the question. In some sense too much pressure from some source or felt inside moved you to be alone. In times of extremity, as it says. a person must sometimes be prepared to move on alone.

Then you have the Traveller so I'd guess you have moved on from somewhere where there was too much pressing down on you and you have indeed reached a place, or will reach a place, where you get the support, affection, help that you need (56.2) You need something of a rest or have needed it which is also something to do with escape from pressure. In line 5 an opportunity appears for you in your life situation as a stranger still on the road. Again from wikiwing....also it's a good idea to make a story from the lines here so we have line 2


'Traveller comes to a resting place,
Cherishes his own,
Gains a young helper.
Constancy.'

Then line 5

'Shooting a pheasant,
Gets it with one arrow.
And so in the end, praise and a mandate.'

Great so in your time of wandering - and this doesn't have to be literal wandering, you could be in the same place all your life and still, in a sense, be passing through, not at home - in this time though you are a stranger someone recognises you, sees your potential, gives you something worth doing. So this is real respite for the traveller (this line alone would change to 33)

And then you have line 6

'The bird burns its nest.
The wanderer first laughs, afterwards cries out and weeps.
Loses cattle in Yi.
Pitfall.'

I think what happens here is the traveller doesn't fully remember he's a traveller and so loses benefits he's received. It's a case of over confidence, in forgetting how he's been helped, is being helped, he might become presumptuous or casual or just somehow inappropriate.

So this is quite a complex reading whereby to fully understand it I'd have to be in your life. You need to climb inside how this describes your life now to see where you are going.

Taking the two hexagrams as a sentence we have 'Traveller's Great Exceeding'. which might say this traveller is really near the edge of his welcome, or he needs to be careful. The relating hexagram encompasses the whole backdrop to the question so where is that sense of overload in 28 in your life now.

Don't look for this in the future, don't look for any of it in the future, it will be there now. Your present is making your future.


So my first piece of 'advice' I think Yi may be giving is as follows


"You're doing okay, you'll get help, may be getting help but don't get so that you take any of this for granted. If you can stay appreciative of what you have line 6 can be avoided perhaps.



I do find sometimes we just can't avoid line 6 despite our best efforts. We may have a blind spot or it may be that burning bridges behind us through over confidence, whilst painful, is something we want to do.



Can you find yourself in any of this ?


Line 2 may refer to a relationship that you either had or will have and this could really make you feel at home where you are (line 5)...but when you feel at home don't start to believe or act as if you own that home, stay in tune with the emotional tenor of those around you to safeguard what you have.


Eventually 28 might show you need to overthrow this whole arrangement but for now I think in your shows I'd be careful of taking anything for granted.


Worth looking at the change patterns, the patterns the change lines make in your reading when all yang or all yin.

Yang pattern is 59, you came to this reading because it may have felt like all signposts have vanished...You come through the reading by seeing what you have right now and making the most of it and doing what you can now.

Noble one (Harry) sets up alone without fear,

This made me smile and laughing - thank you!

Trojina, your explanation is very interesting and I will go deeper into your experience this evening. I also find the text of diamant helpful - even with that (for me) tragic fragrance around the explanation.
I strongly agree that I don't see any future in my hexagrams. But still while look at the whole reading with both 56, 28 and lines two, five and six.

To be honest: 56.Six takes me under the spell of curiosity. I've read my self thru some comments with James De Korne and other texts. But this line six comes out of the blue ... like pointing at the reason of something I can't see.

How will my life go on?
56.2.5.6 - 28.
Maintaining the carefree Wanderer life style ultimately becomes An Unsustainable Burden.

 

[HarryK]

Is it possible that Yi is showing me this time the fate of someone else ("The Wanderer") and that my life is involved in this?
The Wanderer or "stranger" ... maybe this is not me in this case?

It does not matter how I'm looking at this ... I don't see myself in it ... more like a spectator.

 

[diamant]

There is someone else involved in your near future.
It will be an affair where one of you is the servant of the other.

 

[rosada]

It's kinda tricky to interpret these lines as your question is very broad. I mean 56 - 28 could simply mean you wander on in life pretty much like we all do, finding friends and sustenance where we can and probably - ultimately - abusing our bodies with excess till our health can't take it anymore and we crash and burn. Still, maybe not such a bad way to go. Like the song says, "I don't want much - I just want more..."

 

[HarryK]

rosada, diamant, Trojina, becalm - thank you!

As the signs points to the, more or less, near future I will keep you posted. When the veil falls I know and probably you too.
