Care to interpret something that's NOT about "love life"?

Hi there...

This is maybe not such an interesting question, but I think the answer is. It's very relevant. I need to rent a car tomorrow, and I had a discussion with some family members about it. They insist I don't need to buy the insurance for the day... an idea that I feel a tad nervous about. So...

I asked the Yi if I need to buy it, and they answered 6.1 to 10. What do you think they're saying with 6.1? I think I know, but I'd love to hear others' thoughts on it. I find it interesting that it changes to the "risky action" hexagram.

Hope you have fun with this one.

Love,

Val

HI Val,
This is one of those answers that I feel can go both ways...a time when intuition and circumstances really make the difference in how one interprets. I got it recently at an impt juncture.
...... I had to drive four hours to drop my child and her friends off at a camp, and then drive home myself. As we got there, my 2 yr-old car, (with new brakes and new tires) started making a horrible noise, seemingly coming from the wheel.
I dropped the kids off and asked at a gas station. The man just briefly looked and said it was probably "new brakes"...not to worry. BUt on the way home, down the highway, the noise got incredible and sounded dire. I pulled over and threw the coins.."HOw serious is this?" 47.5 to 40.....was a bit comforted.

Pulled into a big service station....the man said I would have to wait and that just to put car up on the lifts would be $75..and then "whatever was wrong" would cost from there....I did not like the sound of that and felt vulnerable, alone, and so far from home....So I threw the coins: Should I stay and have the car looked at? 6.1>10 I didnt have any texts with me, but somehow I remembered one book that said : Controversial but lucky, withdraw from conflict.
I could read it either way at that point! Both potential actions were a bit controversial...both seemed to have risky aspects.
But I took it to mean : Withdraw from this, right now!
I left.

A few miles down the road, I heard a pop and the noise just disappeared like magic. My mechanic later said that it was no doubt a pebble that had gotten inside the rim of the wheel and was rubbing on the brake pad.

When i looked at my texts later, 47.5 said :..."ambling possesses stimulating...blessing indeed..." Choosing to "amble on" stimulated the pebble to pop out!
I avoided the conflict and was delivered of my problems.

What do YOU think 6.1 means for YOU?

"I had a discussion with some family members about it. They insist I don't need to buy the insurance for the day... an idea that I feel a tad nervous about."

I'd say 6.1 is echoing the situation between you and your family, the different views of the situation. If that's the case, the Yi's suggesting that you simply end whatever debate there is/was between you and your family. And if *that's* the case, then that suggests that the insurance is a non-issue.

Val, I have to agree with Dobro that your reading is a response to your discussion with your family and I'm going to guess you were thinking about and seeking support from Yi when you threw the coins, rather than being a direct response to your question about what to do. Attend to the relationship.

On a personal note, they call them "accidents" because they happen in the flash of an eye and are totally unexpected and uninvited events. If you own a home or other assets that could be lost, I'd go for the insurance. Besides, your nervousness is the only one that matters. If there is a problem, you're the one held responsible, not the family.

Hi there again...

Jeanystar, I loved the story of your experience... although the fear you must have experienced must have been much greater than the uncomfortableness I felt, it related so well to my question and answer. Thank you.

To everyone else who was so kind and brave as to tackle this rather cryptic answer, here's a few details that will help you understand the answer.

The discussion with my family was some time ago actually. I just didn't rent the car until today. And it was a discussion, not an argument. Part of the growth I experienced in VA through the Yi, my dreams and this forum was that I learned not to argue... to let people express their thoughts or feelings without answering them... without arguing about them... without trying to invalidate them. Steve Marshall taught me that in the Writer vs. writer thread... to allow me to be myself and others to be themselves. I have not argued with my family since I read that on this forum and understood it to my core.

Additionally, I'm the mom of the family... not the child... I listen quietly, I take suggestions under advisement, and then I do what I think is best. Consequently...

I discussed renting a car, they expressed their feeling that insurance was not necessary, I thanked them for their input, and that was the end of the discussion.

Would the Yi really tell me 6.l after the fact... after the discussion was done and did and was NOT an argument?

I knew the answer was in direct response to my question, and I was pretty sure the answer was that I did not need insurance when I read Brad Hatcher's notes on the line. When I opened to the line, my eyes fell immediately on the sentence, "Why invest so soon?" That said it all for me.

Well I rented the car, I used it and I didn't get into an accident. I didn't need the insurance after all. I did, however, pay the $24 extra for the full coverage anyway in spite of my understanding of the line because the peace of mind was worth the investment for me. That's just how I am.

Thanks everyone who contributed. I really appreciate your taking the time to ponder this and providing your input.

And to the person who answered via email... *grin*... you were spot on! Great interpretation. Thank you. AND... I think you're right about Jeanystar too. From her answer here, I think she's bright, energetic and very in touch with her intuition. I agree... she's a great addition to this forum.

Love,

Val
