I need help.I have 30.1.2.5.6 to 28 and I think that it is very important and unusual

[Bimba san]

Dear followers of I Ching, I would like to ask for your opinion on my situation. I asked "If I make a full and whole-hearted commitment what's the most likely result?" with a specific goal in mind. And I received 30/Clarity changing to 28/Great Exceeding with four changing lines. I think that having so much changing lines is kind of important and extraordinary, I mean that the message must be very insightful. The goal I have in mind is something that I kind of achieved in the past but I was afraid to go to the end and now I really regret for my decision. I would like to try and walk that path again, although I believe that my chances now are much more minor than they were back in time. But I know that I just have to try again because I believe that this is right way for me, that this is my destiny and reason to exist. I hope that I don't sound very weird. The changing line are 1,2,5 and 6.

Do you think that I Ching is telling me that I have a chance of succeeding in achieving my goal? Here are some points of the reading:

" 30 changing to 28

Hexagram 30, Clarity

Changing Lines

Line 1
‘Treading in confusion.
Honour it – not a mistake.’

Line 2
‘Clear golden light.
From the source, good fortune.’

Line 5
‘Weeping tears like flowing streams,
Sad as if in mourning.
Good fortune.’

Line 6
‘The king uses this to march out,
There are honours.
He executes the chief – the captives are not so ugly.
Not a mistake.’

Hexagram 28, Great Exceeding


Thank you for your consideration.

For future reference it's probably easier for those wishing to reply to your reading not to include too lengthy references from text interpretations. Rather, some thoughts of your own as to what the reading might mean to you is enough.

"If I make a full and whole-hearted commitment what's the most likely result?"

Hexagram 30 Clarity. I've often got this hexagram and lines when I needed reassurance and confirmation of gut feeling or intuition - especially related to metaphysical issues.

Line 1: Represents the point at which you begin to find that clarity. It's all very confusing but there is awareness there waiting to be increased. With due caution you can find your way. No stress necessary.

Line 2: This is a further step up in your awareness and comprehension of the topic under question. With humility and caution the sun will shine on you. Maybe you have what it takes? It's the kind of line you get when you see the sun rising on the horizon and the first rays warm your face.

Line 5: A change of heart. The idea of humility and redemption in seeing where you went wrong and what you have to do to put right. These "tears" of loss are often enough to light your way. It may not necessarily land you where you wish to be (what we want may not be what we need) but this marks a turn for the better in terms of one's calling.

Line 6: Cautions a moderate approach. This means not going to any extremes. Deal with the central issue and let things fall where they may.

Your background Hexagram is 28 Creative tension which reveals the state you are in right now and how this energy can be used productively based on the clarity you are seeking and what you will do with the choices set before you.

So, overall, I'd say yes, this "whole-hearted commitment" appears to offer some opportunities for growth. Perhaps the "result" is still in potentia but if you maintain this sincerity and humility the path will unfold. Again, this may mean you end up where you want to be or that it takes you some place else. But either way with that sincerity to do the right thing perhaps the sun will be with you. You may even surprise yourself.

All the best.

Absolutely ! This needs saying more often so people will stop doing this. There's no point in pasting in huge chunks of text at all.

Topal and Trojina, please excuse my ignorance for giving so much unnecessary information. I was wondering what to reveal and in the end decided to just show all. Maybe I am so impatient to even not try to relax and think more about possible interpretations.

Thank you so much, Topal, for taking your time and having patience to even answer me. Your words are so very wise. I guess that I am just scared of making even the first steps towards the change I envision. But still I guess the failure ultimately makes us stronger and wiser, or at least in the best case.

I Ching is right, there were tears very recently. Not ashamed to acknowledge it. Having in mind that I really don't allow myself to cry, I mean, to really cry, to release the things that drive me crazy.

I think that the message is clearly telling me to trust my current self and to not hold back from experiencing what I believe I must experience in order to find the path towards understanding.

"What we want may not be what we need." "You may even surprise yourself." - Just wanted to tell you again that you are so wise and even supportive. Thank you so much once again. I really wish you happiness and peace during the upcoming New Year (starting from 8th February, I believe that this is the real beginning of the new cycle, and even if it sounds stupid I am happy that my Ben Ming Nian year is soon to be gone for good). And all the best, too.

(No need to apologise at all Bimba, it is quite understandable not to know how much to include. Many do this, I guess because of the online casting tool. It's an irritant but certainly not your fault. Apologies if I seemed to be blaming you)

Very glad it was helpful.

I wish you well on your path. And keep us updated!

Hello everyone and please forgive me for replying so late, as only now I feel that what I asked for is finally fulfilling.

I now realize (and also kind of realized before) that the fulfillment of my wish doesn't promise me what I am most striving for in life but I know that it will let me correct a mistake made in the past and will also provide me with an "escape" from my current situation, a new path that at least will let me achieve more control over my destiny.

I guess that it it a good idea to continue consulting the I Ching and find my own answers.

Once again, that you all.
