It is neverending here, honestly. I am moving into a new apartment on Sat. Nov. 18. At least, the lease begins Saturday Nov. 18. I phoned the landlady today to ask about getting the keys. My girlfriend can only help me move with her car in the early morning so that is our plan. I asked if I could get the keys either Friday night or Sat morning, whatever was more convenient.

The landlady had previously said I could move in early, the 17th if I wanted but.. I didn't.

She said she has tenants there who are not leaving until Saturday *afternoon*. I became furious. We have a signed legal agreement and I just paid almost 2K in cash for this place. And she's telling me to wait? Aside from our legal contract, I have business engagements Saturday night, Sunday daytime and am literally squeezing in this move as it is.

I became furious on the phone as I never have with anyone before. I also know that I"m justified in my anger bc she is wrong to be subletting to people with overlapping timeframes, without even consulting me as to what time I planned to move in. According to our contract, that apartment is mine as of Saturday Nov. 18 which I assume means 1am and anytime thereafter.

Furious, unable to calm down, highly tense and stressed, I thus asked the Yi:

Show me a picture of the landlady at the new apartment.

(because I want to know what other problems are in store, if any. I'm at my wit's end, really). The Yi said:

Hex 28.2.3.4 --> Hex 8 Holding together.

line 2:
A dry poplar sprouts at the root.
An older man takes a young wife.
Everything furthers.

line 3:
The ridgepole sags to the breaking point.
Misfortune.

line 4:
The ridgepole is braced. Good fortune.
If there are ulterior motives, it is humiliating.

++
Will I be able to relax in this new home? (bc i sure as heck am tense now!)

answer: 48.5 --> 46 pushing upward.

(line 5 = In the well there is a clear, cold spring From which one can drink.)

Yikes. the 46 is kinda... a "no" isn't it?

I"m just wondering WTH is going on here. Am I supposed to break this lease and move out just after moving in, to avoid this nonsense? I really..am at my limit. Any insights into the reading (or a proper question to ask) would be most appreciated. Thanks, -E.

Hi elizabeth,

A very quick answer coming up;

"Show me a picture of the landlady at the new apartment.

(because I want to know what other problems are in store, if any. I'm at my wit's end, really). The Yi said:

Hex 28.2.3.4 --> Hex 8 Holding together".

Hex 28.2,3,4 says an older woman takes you in, okay. So stay calm, do not force the issue, stop the anger because it is self defeating here, accept the advice given. Therefore, don't let this situation control you, you must take control of yourself and do it calmly, then okay.

Hex 8 is about joining with the woman, not through fighting but through peaceful methods, but do it very quickly, so the situation does not spin out of contol.
She has to accommodate you, so stop fighting, by 5pm tomorrow all should be well, at least I hope so. So calm down, your dealing with people who don't follow western rules, but there are going to be delays and there ain't much you can do about it but try to fit everything into a new moving schedule. Think how you going to do it because the old woman is a cold fish and fighting with her is not going to move her. I think she is a bit worried now but she has given the others permission to check out late without any forethought, so basically the deed is done. Be wise take a light hearted attitude at a bad situation. Stop now don't make it worst.

"Will I be able to relax in this new home? (bc i sure as heck am tense now!)

answer: 48.5 --> 46 pushing upward."

Answer = Yes.

Why is 46 a "no"?
Looks like a situation which will get better and better to me.
maybe somebody can explain why it should be a "no".
Also don't know if Willowfoxs answer (yes) was on the "isn''t it?" or on the first question.
Just interested :)

I usually don't respond to people who post more than one question about an issue, but your questions are double-headed arrows, one pointing out and one pointing in, and I think that's skillful.

"Furious, unable to calm down, highly tense and stressed, I thus asked the Yi: Show me a picture of the landlady at the new apartment. The Yi said: Hex 28.2.3.4 --> Hex 8 Holding together."

"Will I be able to relax in this new home? (bc i sure as heck am tense now!)

Hex 28 talks about situations (and the required response to the situation) that goes beyond what's normal or usual. So, in the first place, the other tenants stayed beyond their allotted time; the landlady went beyond what she was supposed to do in this case; and your anger went beyond normal limits as well. There are so many active lines here that I'm going to ignore them. The overall picture, then, is 28>8. My take on it is that the Yi's saying something like: "This situation's riddled with things going beyond what's normal, but the new apartment is an advantageous direction to be moving in, and you gain something of real value here which you do well to unite with."

In other words, the Yi's reassuring you that everything's okay. Sure, there's a problem in here (imaged in 28.3 where your expected time/date of entry into the new place falls through), but overall, it's a sweet situation.

"Will I be able to relax in this new home? (bc i sure as heck am tense now!)

answer: 48.5 --> 46 pushing upward."

Yes, you'll be able to relax, and more than that. The Yi's imaging the new apartment's ambience in terms of a clear, refreshing source of inspiration and life energy.

Enjoy your new place! (When you finally get into it lol.)

I also think that Willowfox put her finger on something when she talks about 'uniting with the landlady'. Unity, not antipathy. It's about the attitude you choose.

48.5 to 46 looks reassuring. If there is one changing line I take the text of the line as the main message and anyway, 46 is not a no. :)
I think you can expect that you will indeed be able to relax there, once you have moved in.

I suspect 28 to 8 is about you and the stress that you feel, but if it's about your landlady it could mean that she is also in a stressed situation that doesn't leave her that many options.
Perhaps she has to struggle to meet ends and that could explain why she now has tenants in the apartment. She must make the most of it.
Of course this is just a guess, I have no way to know what's really going on.

I was wondering, are people over there (like in many other cultures) perhaps less precise and more "relaxed" when it comes to time schedules then we tend to be in the 'west'?
If that is the case your landlady might have difficulty understanding what the problem is.

Yes, think so too. Something in the readings gave me the feeling that she is not an 'enemy'.

Wow, thanks for the interpretations everyone. I feel calmer just knowing that it isn't all downhill from here. I forgot to post one (major?) detail. Initially the landlady wanted me to move in a DAY later. As in, not Saturday but Sunday. Then she moved to Sat afternoon. But I stuck to my guns (and our signed legal contract). So...hopefully she will stick to it too, from here on out, and our planned Sat AM move will happen ..well, as planned.

I had thought that 46, pushing up, indicated effort. That is, my very very first reading of it I thought "oh, moving up, that's good!" but then someone said in another reading of mine that it was like pushing up with difficulty (the image of a seedling trying to sprout comes to mind). meaning, lots of effort. That's why I thought this was a "no".

It's also *very* helpful to know I should "unite" with this landlady (after getting angrier on the phone w/her than I have, I think, with anyone else ever before...yikes). Hopefully from here on out she will keep her end of things and I wont have to resort to that again. Part of this, I realize, was the poor treatment of me by this lady's agent. I"ve been on edge waiting for another episode of "ill treatment of the unassuming foreigner" so my capacity for tolerance is extremely low right now.

It's a relief to hear this could be a refreshing new atmosphere in the new apartment. I hope it is. From the way things have been going the past two months, I assumed this was more of the same downward spiral, and I've been dreading this move.

Oh -- about the time issues. In general yes, people are way more relaxed about time here than in the West. If you say "meet at 2" you can expect them to show up at 2:15. And usually *no meeting* is set in stone more than 24 hrs in advance, even office meetings. My schedule usually however, doesnt permit that laxity, at least not for the next ten days. Which is why this little "rearrangement" wasn't acceptable (esp with so much cash under it).
AGAIN: many thanks for the replies!
