I asked if this particular house would be healthy for me. I'm very sensitive and it seems very well built but there are always issues with houses. It's a big purchase. This is what I got. Seems very auspicious EXCEPT seems like I need to cross all t's dot all i's in other words, I must leave no stone unturned in investigating the house. I was going to do a VOC analysis, maybe have my environmental consultant up to look at it, though I've sent him pix and he's talked to the owner for 3 hours already.

What does anybody else think? My interpretation is if I overlook a seemingly small thing I didn't notice it can create problems. Yet it's moving to a very auspicious outcome. Right?

Here is one translation of 43.6: "Without an alert, there is bad luck in the end."

Here is another translation: "In the end, misfortune will come without warning."

Finally, a third translation: "Not calling out. In the end, pitfall."

Line 43.6 certainly does not seem like a good auspice for buying a house!

Thanks, ginnie. The misfortune in 43.6 is in being careless, or not bringing everything into the open. Not speaking out or not calling out. THEN pitfall. If heeded the warning, it moves to the most potent hexagram, #1. That's how I see it so it means being super thorough in my due diligence. This is not totally easy. The owner is great and open, but the agent is a doofus.

I've had this line to mean making a decision but not executing it--never putting it into force, and thus losing whatever gain might have been there. (Like, someone else scooping up the house.)

That said, always a good idea to be SUPER careful buying a house, and if it were me I'd do a couple more readings as well.

Hi Jen...

I just popped in to get help myself with buying a house and saw your thread.

I like this reading for buying the house. And I like your take on it. I don't think the Yi is saying whether to buy it or not. I think it's saying get full disclosure, so pick your inspector(s) wisely. If I were in your shoes (and I will be soon), I'd put a deposit down contingent on the inspector's report, and I'd ask again after reading the report about anything that concerns me in it.

Now I'm going to post MY question.

Thanks, all. The house is really well built it seems (poured concrete, a great material, tornado and termite proof, doesn't require insulation, very unlikely to mold), tile, glass, walnut oak and maple (floors and cabinets) no crap. It's way overpriced, though (they kind of designed it themselves and had builders carry it out). That's because they designed it thinking they'd live in it forever, rather than someday have to sell. The first law of building or buying a house is: think about the time you are selling it. You can't just make it for your needs, it has to be standard enough to sell.

So right now, it has a big open space on the ground floor and no bathroom at all. It's like an open loft, they have their bed and musical instruments etc.

Then you walk upstairs to a high end "apartment" is what it feels like. A nice living/dining area, large galley kitchen, and his and hers baths side by side plus a ginormous walk in closet. They wasted space by catering to their own needs. The double bathrooms and ginormous closet waste spacet hat could've been an actual bedroom.

So right now there's not even a powder room on the main floor. My agent said we need a contractor in to determine if that's becaues it's expensive to put a drain in through the concrete etc...so they just didn't. I have no idea. They built for themselves--their own needs and tastes. Maybe this house has to come down quite a bit in price, because almost everybody who moves in is going to want to/have to spend money to create a master bedroom and bath on the main floor.

Anyway, I'll pursue it some more. I took my reading as, not that I wouldn't follow through, and not that I'm the one with problems, but when I looked at other interpretations of 43.6 it was that there were small concealed "evils" that seemed harmless but if ingored, if not called out into the open, could queer the whole deal or make a big problem. Since it's moving to 1 though, that seems remediable and ultimately maybe really good.

Who knows! I consult the oracle rarely, not like a habit, to give due respect to big decisions, so I don't think I'll do it again on this house.
Any other thoughts appreciated!!
