Thanks I’ve had a look at the unchanging hexagram. Good to read lots of scenarios when people had 8 unchanging. Though some seemed strange & bit difficult to see how 8 fitted.Have you checked out the Unchanging Hexagrams Threads over in the Exploring Divination area? (It's post in the box at the top) Meanwhile, I think 8uc could be focusing on your concern about having a sufficient number of clients to make the room rental affordable, maybe affirming you'll need to time your ultimate return by when you will have enough business to make it profitable.
Thank you for responding. Well I’m self employed which usually means I accept too much work as I don’t feel I can turn work away. This break was obviously imposed by the pandemic & I can only now return to work but under various constraints. I think you have a good point about returning by the end of Aug being the 8th month & I guess things will be clearer with people more used to masks etc by then perhaps. It does give me July off so perhaps I’ll feel ready by then too...Is it ok to take the summer off? 8 unchanging.
In Hex 8 there is a bonding between a group of lords and a King, and if you return late there will be misfortune.
In the King Yu story example in the Yi, the person FangFeng was rejected and got their head chopped off for coming late.
It was a mistake, because he had stopped on the way to help a person in need, but he still got killed.
If I got this reading, I would go back before the end of Summer. Like in July.
Of course if you are not a group practice, perhaps this does not apply and you need not worry about being fired.

Oh I just re read your reply- you suggested going back in july maybe I’ll make it last days July...Thank you for responding.

thank you fir your time
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Yes your right I do need to way that up & yes some practises are beginning to open now. Guess it is procrastinating- was just so loving the head space & the rest! Its strange I was so bereft when I first had to stop work & now holding back from starting up again!Am thinking of 8 as the bonds between you and your clients. I don't know anything about your practice, but I wonder if 8 suggests they might find other providers in the meantime. 8 is a union of the willing; there's not really forced cohesion between you and them. (That would be 8's upside-down paired hexagram, 7, The Army.)
Could you find out somehow what other practitioners are doing? If everyone else is back but you, in other words.
Also, worst case scenario, if you think you could lose a lot of clients, do you have an idea how serious that would be? If you don't think you'd have trouble building up customers again, then it'd probably be fine to wait.
Hilary often says unchanging readings can be like a question, so in this one maybe "Client group... ?" and/or "Procrastinating... ?"

The person who made the videos and taught the course is Harmen Mesker; most recently he taught the Yijing/trigrams/TCM course at the Academy of Acupuncture school in San Diego in March.I’ll look up the college who produced these videos- thank you!
