Help please! Hexagram 19 and 59 urgent housing issue

[ChangingOne]

Hello!


I am currently living in a housing association property not far from my mum who I care for. The housing trust also have properties in her building and one is due to become available in the next couple of weeks. Although I have no priority to be moved, I emailed them to ask if I could swap from my flat which is a few minutes away to the property that is soon to be vacant as her condition is such that I could be needed at any time of day. I have had to go over late in the evenings before and have had a few pleasant encounters doing this. Now I have to Uber across even though it’s only a few minutes walk as it’s just not safe.

I asked if they would consider the swap of the properties as living closer to my mum would provide a permanent solution to the problems we have been having. I asked 2 different questions, the first before I made any contact and the second after I received an email reply from them. The first question I asked was what the outcome would be if I put in for a move to the flat in question and I got 19 unchanging. My interpretation of this reading initially was that I would be successful but I needed to act fast so I emailed them that same day. I explained everything in full and hoped they would be compassionate and understanding about my situation. It’s no skin off their nose to let me swap properties, if anything mine is in better condition and would be easier for them to re-let. I got an email yesterday saying that I don’t qualify for a transfer as I’m not on their transfer list and that as such I won’t be eligible for the flat.

I then asked another question last night - what can I do to change the housing trusts decision on me moving into the flat in question. Ordinarily people who got the email I received would give up but I had such a positive reading at the start and I know the housing trust can arrange the swap they just don’t want to. They are always giving people out of policy transfers, they have even given my mum one in the past. I got 59 unchanging which I did some reading up on and I’m thinking that once again it sounds quite positive. Persevering and plugging away at this in a non aggressive way leads to success?! Even though they have said no initially something is telling me to keep pushing but I don’t know if that’s what my reading is telling me or if I just want it to seem positive because I really want the flat. I am going to contact my GP to write a letter in support of this which explains how much easier my life would be to be that close to my mum.

Any insight on the questions I asked and the readings I got would be great. I’m aware this is time sensitive issue so I want to reply to their email as soon as possible.

Thank you

Maybe 59 uc here means disperse your message to more than one recipients. Plead with more people, and tell them that you can provide a GP letter as soon as you have it. I'd send the new email separately, to more people, including the ones who sent you the reply (I mean separately rather than CCing more people in one email, as this might shame the callous person who refused you and you might still need them - you can shame them later in the game).

Thank you for your reply, that actually makes a lot of sense. The 2 people I spoke to aren’t the only people involved in the decision making process so perhaps it’s best to get everyone in the know, perhaps even their managers etc and put my case forward to all.

 

[ChangingOne]

I just wanted to post an update on my situation. After sending my last post I got a call from the lady I’d been emailing at the housing and she basically said they can’t help me. Now I know they can they just don’t want to. The lady I spoke to isn’t the manager and so she isn’t the person who would really get to decide this, it would be HER manager. After a pretty negative phone call I was left feeling confused by my positive readings so far so I asked one more question. Should I contact the housing manager directly in regards to moving into this property in question and I received 35uc. I take this as I should contact her, any thoughts?
Just to recap I first asked what the outcome would be if I put in for a move to this flat and got 19uc, I then got an email saying no. I then asked what I could do to change their minds and got 59uc which was suggested could mean I need to take this to more people. I then get a call confirming it’s a no over the phone (but not by the manager) so I ask whether I should contact her directly and get 35uc.
Any further advice would be great, I’m really struggling with this one.

 

[diamant]

Yes go for it! And don't only send it to this particular manager - if you've got more email addresses, send it to all. Fingers crossed for you. Perhaps ask an additional question about the manager - "best style to write an email to them?". 35 shows multiple communications and fast, so I'd say be persistent. 19 is about rolling up sleeves and getting work done, so as to pre-guard against future hardship - in your case that's exactly what you're trying to do.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I am currently in the middle of writing an email which I am going to send to the whole team as I have other email addresses too. I’m prepared to keep fighting for what I want and I’ll put the hard work in so I’m hoping it pays off in the end. I will report back here with the outcome.

After receiving hexagram 35uc and emailing the housing manager directly, I made some progress. I was told that they would consider me under their social hardship policy for a move to the new property but that they had 2 more urgent transfers who would be shown the property before me. If they don’t take it (which seems unlikely) then it would be offered to me. They also agreed that if I am unsuccessful with this flat I can have another that comes up in the building but obviously that could takes a number of years.

I was happy with the progress, going from a firm no on 2 occasions to being third in line but wasn’t sure if I should push for more and try to get ahead of the other 2 people. I asked the IC and received 33uc retreat. This was very clear to me and I took a step back for a couple of weeks. Instead of pushing I thanked them for their help and for considering me. However, 2 weeks passed and I felt I wanted to do another reading (I never usually do so many for one specific thing and I’m quite new to it but I wanted to work out where to go from here). After the 2 weeks had passed I asked IC last week if there was anything I could do to ensure I’m offered the flat. I received 57.4.5 changing to 50.

Correct me if I’m missing something here but 57 in itself seems like yet another positive reading (all of my readings leading up to this one have been very promising - this is the first with moving lines). 57 talks again about success through gentle penetration. My moving lines say that remorse vanishes and 3 types of game are caught (line 4) and that persistence in a righteous course beings reward (line 5). 5 also talks about 3 days before and after a change being auspicious. I have now received 2 readings recently which talk about the number 3. Hexagram 35 talked about a prince being granted horses in large numbers and that he is granted audience 3 times in one day. Then I have both the moving lines in 57 which talk about 3 types of game and 3 days before and after a change.
is there any significance to this number that I don’t know about?

After realising I needed to start being persistent again, I emailed both housing managers once more with an offer. I sent them photos of my current home to show them how nice it was inside and let them know that should they consider me first priority for the other flat I would take it in it’s current condition which is poor and do the work myself. This way they don’t have to pay to get the work done and they can have my current property which is in good condition and hopefully offer it to one of the urgent transfers they mentioned. I thought this was a great offer as the properties are very similar, they could just as well give my one to one of the other people.

I have since received an email yesterday saying thank you for the photos but they will still be showing it to the urgent transfers first, they haven’t budged at all! I don’t want to keep asking IC questions but I really don’t know if I should persist still.. I could let them know that I am just as much an urgent case as the others. I have a lot of reasons for this (personal family matters) and can get more medical letters to assist. Every single reading I have had since the beginning as been overwhelmingly positive. I’ve never known anyone get so many positive readings in a row and yet it feels like I’m a bit stuck right now and is looking like I won’t get the flat.

 

[ChangingOne]

I also forgot to mention my last reading changing into hex 50. Again, very auspicious. It talks about a sacrificial vessel followed by great progress and success. I read somewhere that it is seen as a new beginning, a fresh start, which if correct would fit my situation if I were offered the flat.

 

[rosada]

Just trying to figure out why the good fortune you thought you saw in your readings hasn't manifested. Perhaps because the hexagrams were unchanging? My experience with unchanging hexagrams has been they mean the situation doesn't change - at least not in the near future. So as a response to your questions I see them meaning that while there seemed to be cause for optimism the reality has been nothing changes.

By the way, a mental trick I do when feeling stuck that really works:
Ask yourself - or the ic - how the current situation is serving you. Basically count your blessings. Like say, "Well I guess it's a really good thing this is happening because..."

 

[ChangingOne]

Hi Rosada,

Thank you for your reply and insight! I guess I never really saw unchanging hexagrams in that way. I always thought that for the most part as I’m fairly new to IC that unchanging hexagrams were IC’s way of simplifying everything for me, every reading I’ve had that’s been uc seems to be making a clear point (or so I thought). With regards to my first question (what will the outcome be if I put in for a move to this flat) I got 19uc which I read was one of the most auspicious readings you can get. I understood that it was saying I would be successful if I acted now and didn’t wait but also that there may be some work to do to get the outcome I want. I have certainly worked hard so far and have made progress through doing so. My most recent hex 57.4.5 talks about firm correctness, perseverance and moderately but confidentially confronting advisories. I thought to keep going with the efforts I have been making so far. Do you think if IC is saying that nothing changes now that it might in the future based on the positive readings I have had?

 

[diamant]

if there was anything I could do to ensure I’m offered the flat 57.4.5 > 50
Great news that the situation has shifted, even a bit, and also great that you grasped the message to persist in contacting them.
57.4 three types of game, so you've contacted the housing organisation, and you said you could contact a medical organisation too (definitely do that). Is there a third type for you to put pressure on? Any well-known relevant charity, for example, who could add some pressure?
57.5 before it even begins, it ends, withing three days (i.e. very soon). This, in combination with 50 (something new), probably shows that you won't get the particular flat you have in mind, but another one.
Hidden line is 44.5, something which falls from the sky, something wrapped (wrapping to move?).

 

[rosada]

About unchanging hexagrams...
like I said, it's been MY experience that uc hexes tend to describe situations that don't change or don't change quickly, but as far as I know that's not a hard and fast rule for everyone. I just mention it as something you might consider.

As to whether things might change in the future based on the other readings you've gotten that you felt were positive - I think the first reading you get is the important one, any others may clarify but they don't change the original oracle.

If there is going to be a change even with an unchanging hexagram, I've found I first need to fully experience the meaning of the hex. So with 19 with it's warning about dangers of something happening too soon, perhaps this was a warning about asking for a decision before getting your name on the appropriate waiting lists. I don't know, I'm just trying to figure it out!

 

[ChangingOne]

diamant - thanks for coming back to me (again!). Yes definitely good news that they have shifted even if it’s not quite all the way. In terms of the 3 people to put pressure on, I’ve contacted the housing and my GP and provided a letter. I can now provide another letter from another healthcare professional (this letter would hold more weight) so perhaps those are the 3.
With regards to 57.4.5 > 50 meaning I might not get this flat but I’ll get another, I have had a close family member say this to me today. They told me the IC works in mysterious ways and that based on my positive readings even if I don’t get this particular flat I’ll get the next one that becomes available in the building. I’m now starting to think this may be the way things turn out especially as they have people before me that will view the flat before I can.
Would you mind explaining the hidden line to me? Where does 44.5 come into play? I have no experience with hidden lines. Thanks again!

rosada - thanks for your reply, I think your suggestion based on your experiences might be fitting here. I will see how things play out but if I don’t end up getting this flat they have already pretty much promised me the next one so that could mean a future change! I also note that my first ever hex (19uc) talks about slow progress of the work and that ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’. Perhaps the work I’m putting in now is necessary at this time but not for immediate change and that it will put me in a better position for the next property that comes up in the future as without any of this work I’m doing now I wouldn’t even be on their radar.

 

[rosada]

Maybe 19's warning about the dangers of something happening too soon could be saying the flat that is vacant right now is unsuitable but be patient and you'll get the one that turns out to be right for you?

 

[ChangingOne]

I’ve been really drawn to this particular flat and from the off haven’t been interested in any of the others in the building as they aren’t as nice so I followed up with the final email I was going to send to the housing trust as I was told to be persistent. I want to know I’ve done all I can and now I have. They know about the other healthcare letter I can get for them (which I’m going to get regardless).

Still a little confused by my readings as I really want this one, it’s got direct access to the garden which would be perfect as I have a dog. The others aren’t as nice or as convenient for me (although I’d still take one of them). I thought the IC would know I wanted this one and not the others and I guess I thought I’d get it with all of my positive readings. I didn’t consider that it might mean I would get a different one. Anyway, I will hear back next week and let you know what the outcome is. Keeping my fingers crossed for now.

 

[ChangingOne]

Turns out I just got a reply - they want the healthcare letter to review my case further. Sounds promising. Will post back here soon with how things play out.

 

[rosada]

Maybe the timing reference in 19 is a warning not to give up too soon!
