hexigram 47 line 1

[stuart]

I was having doubts about a holiday in spain majorica-last minute booking etc.
recieved this hex and line. 47 line 1
oh well great holiday then!
Yes it was wonderful, pool area was busy only available sun spots were under huge palm trees
which the wife prefered.so there you are i spent most of thr week as per line 1.

sometimes the i ching will give you a negative answer ,which surprisingly is positive.
i was not depressed or negative but i was on my ass under the tree.Not my choice engineered
by the wife. Other answers would have been relivant ie 64-6 etc,but i only got drunk once,so
i surpose the tree answer was astonishingly accurate.

Bradford has often mentioned the irony that can be part of a 47 answer ..
I have received 47.1 for a very similar situation . . wanna take a guess where I was sitting? At the base of a sailing boat's mast, lol


My bet is that Yi was teasing you: 'mhm, sure you'll have an awful time on your vacations!'

i was not depressed or negative but i was on my ass under the tree.... i suppose the tree answer was astonishingly accurate.

There is something extremely physically accurate about this line, which invariably involves sitting for long periods of time ... That is the way one is being confined, in a sitting position.
