A month ago, I was looking for a new apartment. I arranged a viewing on a thursday at 6pm and I asked Yi about my chances in getting/ liking the apartment.

Hex 46.3; ascending into an empty city.

Interestingly, at 6pm, standing outside the apartment, I pressed the bell and waited for 15minutes and no one answered.......................

On Friday last, before setting off for a weekend meditation retreat, I asked the sage about how to handle a potential encounter with a difficult individual. I received Hex. 33, 5 -- 56 (Nuclear 44)!
Today, I asked a question about renting a cottage. Unfortunately, it has no parking bay or driveway. There is the potential for one if a hedge were broken through. I received Hex. 34 unchanging!
The puzzle is, although the ruling line 4 speaks about the carriage and breaking through a hedge, the line was not changing across to Hex. 11. In that case the fan yao would speak about the neighbours and "fluttering". My plan is to ask the renters if it would be possible to create the driveway by breaking through the hedge! Perhaps they'll "Flutter" about it!
I would welcome any thoughts or feedback on this one.

I suppose it's unchanging because you're at an early, undecided stage - not committed yet to renting, let alone hedge-removal. Please let us know how it goes!

Only other thought - if you do choose to occupy line 4, the hedge only gets broken through because of the strength in the axle-straps, the little hidden connections. Whatever small things you can do to strengthen the relationship (could just be care, politeness and listening) would increase your chances of getting through the hedge.

experience with hex. 47 :D

I remember when my really good friend suddenly stopped to call and talk to me. For me It was strange becouse he had always been calling to me when I needed to talk etc. and I started to think that he is offended or something i.e my imagination started to create the worst things. So I asked the I ching " Why doesn`t he talk to me?" and I got 47... "There are words not to be belived...The great man brings about good fortune.No blame."
I was waiting for four days until he responsed to my callings. He said that he was tired simply and he did not want to talk to anyone. He was not offended. He said " Sorry but when I am angry and exhausted I am not myself" so this hexagram describes the situation when the outer world is not what it seems , there is something inward in this situation what should be drawn but some effort must be given into it in spite of bad circumstances.

And one more thing. While I was waiting for his response and wondering if I should write to him again after 4 days I asked the I ching if it is a good idea. I got 36.1

Darkening of the light during flight.
He lowers his wings.
The superior man does not eat for three days
On his wanderings.
But he has somewhere to go.
The host has occasion to gossip about him.

So I had occasion to gossip about him ;) I was creating the worst scenario in my mind and my friend (his behaviour) was simply misunderstood by me . Then I decided to write to him and asked the I ching: "and what about now?" and I got hex 14:D Times are changing:D

yesterday early morning, out on the town running errands and stuff, was the first time I specifically asked for something and received three very very distinct and clear signs . .

the first included passing by a street while on the bus and seeing a tree with only one fruit standing in its upper branches, a citrus fruit . . it was an odd but beautiful image. I have no idea if the tree was in vegetative pain keeping it there or it would be in shedding or if there is such a thing as vegetative pain -I guess that would be a good part of being a tree . . at times I have wished to be like a tree, or a rock, calmly living through the ages . .)
(I guess I don't even have to mention the line now, do I?)

The other two were equally obvious but since I still don't know how they are braided in my life I'd rather not mention them . . what I can say is that they involved me feeling utterly exhausted but going on in an almost mechanical way and in the third I chose comfort, was pleasantly surprised and payed a prize for it . .

today I went past the tree again . . the fruit was still there


just a little yi story

About 80% of the readings have been of baffling accuracy. Just an example: some time ago I was expecting some downturn in my job and was quite worried. I got in reply hexagram 25.5. As suggested, I did virtually nothing to improve my situation (contrary to what most people, including myself, would have done without the advice from the I Ching), and things got better without any intervention from me. I am still quite overawed when I get this kind of replies. Even C.G. Jung held the I Ching in utmost consideration - his pamphlet on the subject is still worth reading.

lost binder

My sister telephoned me and told me my niece was quite upset that she couldnt find her binder for school. She was worried she was going to get in trouble at school. So she asked me to ask Iching to help find it. I asked.. was it in her Mom's car..and got the answer #60.6 (quit the situation..R.Gill translation) I asked if it was at her Grandma's and got the answer #3.3 (failure if you persist in hunt..R.Gill version) I asked if the binder was hiding in my niece's bedroom and got #16.6..(boasting brings misfortune..R.Gill version), I took this to mean dont boast when I see my answers are correct from Iching) and the second hexagram was #51 Shock/Surprise
I telephoned my sister and told her that my niece would find it, but would be surprised where it is hiding and to keep looking for it at home.
My sister phoned me in awe...after tearing apart the house, the binder was found under my niece's dresser! Iching is amazing!!!!!!! This is just one of hundred's of questions that have given me incredible correct answers. :)

29 is really scary

I got 29 recently and lost my job. I had been so sure I'd sell my house that I'd told them I may not continue with them and I didn't sign any contract. They love my work but fearing I'd be off, got another writer. I've had a similar experience with 29 in another recent situation.

And now insight on hex 57.6. I saw a long discussion on this line. Well, someone mentioned it's about being courageous. So I took that advice and it certainly was a 48 situation as well as 58. Top line changing goes into 58. Iy involved a happy friend and a beautiful initiation. I had been wondering whether to go ahead and when I did, it worked out better than I had expected. This is Just my way of giving back a little to a community I owe so much to. My respect for the Yo continues to grow. I have learned how to ask just once and follow the advice. This attitude is getting me even more accurate answers. I believe you can ask the same questions maximum of 3 times - but at various stages, not all at once.

Before I consulted I Ching, my heart was breaking at the idea of growing up and leaving my parents as well as my childhood behind me. I'm moving out the day after tomorrow for my last year of college and lately I've felt so overwhelmed by it all.

When I asked I Ching what advice would help me through this, I received hex 62. Small Passing. It was telling me to take things one step at a time, that now isn't the time for looking at the big picture. Nothing will change overnight and I need to take it all in stride. This made me cry all over again, not out of sadness but out of understanding. This reading really moved me.

Newbie is lost & needs help in finding her way

:confused::confused: Newbie. I would very much appreciate advise or insight to a hexagram I drew recently, except I'm not sure that this is where I would post my question hence, I will await an answer before I make a fool of myself. Thanx :bows:

you need to post it under 'shared readings'. Perhaps Tom/Pocossin will move your post

I've been reliably informed that I have a tenancy toward obsessive thinking. I get locked in loops while the hours while away. I was in 1 such session with my yi as companion and eventually asked ' what should I do now?' 27 unchanging was the answer. My belly rumbled and I looked at the clock to find it was 4 in the afternoon! I'd had no lunch and been sat there for hours. I took it as a gentle but very literal - take a break from this and get something to eat :) so much nicer than calling me an ignoramus! ;)

The other day I had a work meeting with upper management to allegedly clarify some conflicts and misunderstandings occurred in the recent past and ensure full cooperation between different teams. The meeting had been requested by an executive and my concerns were that the concealed objectives could be less positive and harmful for my team. So immediately before the meeting I asked: what is the best approach for me to take? I got hex 2 unchanging. I smiled. Calm, quiet, receptive. I went into it being open and willing to listen and all went smoothly.

I am still amazed at how fitting the Yi's advise can be!

This morning the local electric power went down. After a couple hours, I broke out the coins and hard cover Wilhelm to ask how long I can expect before it comes back on. 11-63, and just as I turned to the 63 page, it came back on. ha!

Really did laugh out loud at that one. Power (11) already on (63), right? :D

Erm. Any idea what 11.2 is doing there?

It made me laugh out loud too. Yes, power of opposites and electricity, and also to remain relaxed and productive.

Well, to me, line 2 was saying to be patient and confident with the (somewhat distant) power company, and to not be too dependent upon it (I was a bit concerned with food spoiling if the outage continued), which was funny because I did take the opportunity to catch up on some menial chores while waiting. Furthering productivity as one of the meanings of 11, and I did later realize satisfaction from my extra cleaning efforts. :)

Feeling a little hesitant about finding a place in the Clarity community :blush:, back in September I asked, “What kind of relationships can I expect will develop if I join the one-year onlineclarity membership”?

The answer was 4-59 :) which, to me, meant “Welcome to the Community of Not Knowing” from http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?t=8286, first section. Having the funds now, am joining today and looking forward to new insights, being humbled regularly, and all.

On another note, I decided to try the cast using LiSe’s online website per the thread on the use of computer “throws” instead of coins (http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?t=13428). How perfect also that Yi’s answer to my question on LiSe’s site was so in sync with the Clarity site!

I had two back-to-back casts come out exactly the same using yarrow stalks. Two completely different questions, one to do with how to deal with a personal situation dealing with past issues that involved families and one on what the consequences of going on a date with someone to a casino bar would be. The cast? 18.2.3 > 23

Corruption changing to Stripping.

ah... there are lots of completely different questions, but only one person asking. I get this kind of thing a lot - sometimes it makes for 'aha!' answers and sometimes more for the 'argh!' kind, if you know what I mean.

The first was an "argh!' leading to an "aha!" The second just made me laugh.

Aha!

:bows:
Hello, I have only just joined the group and just done myself a reading. It has been a few years since I have consulted the I-Ching but what a great result I just have to tell you!

I asked what the best approach was to ensure success in my new business and I got 14 Great Possessions with a changing second line which gave relating figure 30 Radiance (light, warmth, spreading awareness) Since my new business is as a Reiki practitioner it did give me an aha moment as it couldn't be more relevant as it is all about working with light! It's a very encouraging reading and great since a long gap in using the oracle.Any comments from anyone else would be useful!

Thanks!

Hello! What a beautiful reading - thank you for sharing. Best approach? To treat the business as a means of travelling to a new destination, and expect everything to move and take you to new places.

Hello all:bows:
This happened last night.
I was eager to receive a letter from someone I care a lot. Letter was not coming and I lost hope for it, thought it got lost or dissapeared within holiday cards.
Will I get the letter? 64.5 into 6
I opened a few pages and 64 was described as "It has not arrived YET" and 6 speaks of an obstacle.
Six in the fifth place means:
Perseverance brings good fortune.
No remorse.
The light of the superior man is true.
Good fortune.

The victory has been won. The power of steadfastness has not been routed. Everything has gone well. All misgivings have been overcome. Success has justified the deed. The light of a superior personality shines forth anew and makes its influence felt among men who have faith in it and rally around it. The new time has arrived, and with it good fortune. And just as the sun shines forth in redoubled beauty after rain, or as a forest grows more freshly green from charred ruins after a fire, so the new era appears all the more glorious by contrast with the misery of the old.

Today the letter came.:)

Wish that frienship gets as glorious as this line.:hug:

Did someone talk with someone about this?

Ok, how about this. I wanted to know if someone unexpectedly spoke with another person about a something we had been discussing.

I got 50.4 Caldron.

Hexagram Fifty/Line Four

Nine in the fourth place means:
The legs of the ting are broken.
The prince's meal is spilled
And his person is soiled.
Misfortune.

Another reading indicated very good fortune from her having done this, so I ignored the commentary and just considered the image as the answer to my question.
Yes she did talk - she "Spilled the beans." :rofl:

Also in reflection to the above reading, the person who actually "spilled the beans" did so I imagine out of a sense of a certain inadequacy for the weight of the question (legs of the ting broken meaning some inadequacy for the weight), so she was asking someone more experienced. And there was certain element of embarrassment for the person that "the beans were spilled to" in the situation too, so that part about the prince being soiled or humiliated was pretty accurate too.

Amazingly clear kind of remote viewing of a situation...
