Sorry guys. This is my first time at this. So, I don't really have "the hang of it," yet. So, I was hoping you guys could help!
My question was: How is my life going to change from HERE (meaning this day).
This is what I got:

Hexagram 51, Shock
Key Questions
What must change?
What will continue?
Oracle
‘Shock, creating success.
Shock comes, fear and terror.
Laughing words, shrieking and yelling.
Shock spreads fear for a hundred miles.
Someone does not lose the sacred ladle and libation.’
Shock is something that stirs, rouses and shakes you up – like an earthquake, or a violent thunderstorm. In ancient China, Heaven spoke through thunder, and this was an omen that the human world was to be brought back into harmony. Abruptly, your world is not working as you expect; the solid ground shifts under your feet, security slips away and mental constructs shatter; living reality has spoken.
Shock spreads out in waves of contagious fear and hysteria. Suddenly everyone is all too closely in touch with their own emotions – and with everyone else’s – and all are reacting to one another. It is a time to hold on to what you most value, and take on responsibility for keeping it safe through the upheaval, like the priest who is charged with safeguarding the temple and altars from the past, for the future. Consider what remains constant and true when everything else is in turmoil. This doesn’t necessarily mean resisting the shock itself, so much as keeping a still point in the midst of the tumult of reactions to it. Then you never lose your connection with the creative power that speaks through the storms.

‘Rolling thunder: Shock.
A noble one in fear and dread sets things in order and is watchful.’
Sequence
Shock follows from Hexagram 50, the Vessel:
‘In the charge of the sacred vessel, none equals the eldest son, and so Shock follows. Shock means new beginnings.’
Pair
Shock forms a pair with Hexagram 52, Stilling:
‘Shock begins; Stilling stops.’
Changing Lines
Line 2
‘Shock comes, danger.
A hundred thousand lost coins.
Climb up the nine hills, don’t give chase.
On the seventh day, gain.’
Line 4
‘Shock, and then a bog.’
Hexagram 19, Nearing
Key Questions
How does this want to grow?
How can you take responsibility for its development?
What would your greater self do?
Oracle
‘Nearing.
Creating success from the source, constancy bears fruit.
Reaching an end in the eighth month means a pitfall.’
‘Nearing’ means drawing closer and gazing down over what you approach. There are two strands of meaning here: the approach of a greater spirit or presence in an ongoing process of growth, and your approach as the one who pays attention and takes responsibility. Like the creative drive of Hexagram 1, this great, growing energy comes from the source, asks for your full participation, and seeks to reach fruition and be realized. But its surging growth can be disastrously interrupted by ‘reaching an end in the eighth month’.
The eighth month is the month of harvest. If this comes round too soon for what Nears to reach full growth – if the situation demands that you produce a tangible result prematurely – then this means misfortune. Or if you focus exclusively on results instead of watching patiently over developments – if your expectations are out of touch with the pace of growth – then there is misfortune.
Having something to show for a process of growth doesn’t mean you’ve arrived at its outcome: harvest is not the end. As each harvest is gathered in and stored, the seasonal cycle of growth continues; you need to stay present to its ongoing changes, wherever they might lead.
Image
‘Above the lake is earth: Nearing.
A noble one teaches and reflects untiringly,
Accepts and protects the people without limit.’
Sequence
Nearing follows from Hexagram 18, Corruption:
‘With work to do, greatness becomes possible, and so Nearing follows. Nearing means greatness.’
Pair
Nearing forms a pair with Hexagram 20, Seeing:
‘What is right for Nearing and Seeing: someone reaches out, someone seeks.'
