Legal action, 49UC

[Juliah]

Will the legal action be won? 49UC

I have a feeling that it may be won if well-prepared. And perhaps, it will be developing step by step, discovering new levels.

I do not know if I have information about the result, but if I get, I will share it.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Legge: (What takes place as indicated by this hexagram) is believed in only after it has been accomplished.
There will be great progress and success.
Advantage will come from being firm and correct.

Wilhelm: Fire below and the lake above combat and destroy each other.
...
Not everyone is called to this task, but only the man who has the confidence of the people, and even he only when the time is ripe.


The legal matter will not be easy to win, and it will seem impossible until the very end, when unexpectedly the fate decides in your favor.
You need to employ an honest lawyer, a master of his trade to lead you to victory.

 

[Juliah]

Update: the first battle is lost.

The plaintiff is going to start a new trial.

 

[Juliah]

I have just asked if the legal action is won second time.

9.2.6 > 63.

63 seems discouraging, as if everything that should have been done has already been done, and nothing left.

What do you think friends?

Thank you.

 

[mulberry]

I agree, unfortunately this looks like a "no" to me. Are you directly implicated in the suit? To me it seems you're more of a bystander or indirect party to it-- in which case I think you should do your best to remove yourself quickly from any association with it. Is that possible? I also think it will drag on awhile longer, in drips and dregs (9). I also think there's very little you can do to influence the outcome (63).

 

[Juliah]

Yes, you are right - I am a bystander, not involved in the process personally. But I support the plaintiff.

 

[mulberry]

It's fine to support the plaintiff but I do see this reading as a warning to keep your support from going too far. In particular line 2 warns you about needlessly jeopardizing yourself. Please be careful and avoid being drawn in!

I also see both lines as a suggestion for the plaintiff to settle, if that's possible.

 

[Juliah]

Interesting, I took 9.2 as a plaintiff's intention to move on with a new trial.

9.6 is not clear to me, but looking at the both hexagrams I take the whole answer as attempts to do something when the main part of the process has already completed.

I wish I were wrong.

New update

The first part of my cast 9.2.6 > 63 done in September has come true, literally.

9.2 - He allows himself to be drawn into returning. Good fortune.

The plaintiff had been drawn to making an appeal by our mutual friend, and did it at the very end of 2015.
I am looking forward to 9.6.

 

[diamanda]

9.6
Rain, and shelter or office, virtue still holds.
Things are difficult but they're still going ok for whoever has right on their side.

A chaste/firm woman is in danger, or, she is dangerous (or both).
The moon is nearly full - either literally waiting till the full moon, or, things are yet to develop.

The attack/expedition of a young male official fails.

Perhaps the above somehow fit with the situation? The outcome will depend on who is who.
In the above described scenario, I'd say the stern woman wins.

In 49 also the Judgement says "benefits chaste woman" (chaste - same character as in 9.6).
Hidden line of 9.2.6 > 63 is 37.6 which can also mean a dominating woman.
So, the lady wins I believe in this case.

 

[Juliah]

The plaintiff is a man, the defendant is a woman.

I'll refrain from comments in the meanwhile waiting for a court decision.

 

[Juliah]

...And another update which seems to be final.

The plaintiff's demands have been dismissed twice. (Perhaps, this moment can be taken into account: the lawsuit was filed against the company, and the CEO was a lady. After the first defeat the plaintiff made an appeal, two months later the CEO was removed and her position was occupied by a man who, consequently, inherited the lawsuit.)

Now the plaintiff is strongly bent on not proceeding and not turning back to the matter any longer (burnout).

 

[Tim K]

I have just asked if the legal action is won second time.
9.2.6 > 63.
63 seems discouraging, as if everything that should have been done has already been done, and nothing left.

I agree with that, 9.2 saying don't go, accept the limits/taming power of 9.
Or .6 will happen, 9.6 → 5 (Patient Waiting), Crowley:
Who wins too much may lose! Repose, O man!
Stop the advance, what's done is done.

But I can't see 49 depicting a loss... Wilhelm: 'On your own day you are believed'.

 

[Juliah]

But I can't see 49 depicting a loss...

Yes, I also returned to the primary reading (49 UC), still contemplating this. On www.cafeausoul.com I found what suits the plaintiff's situation, IMO:

You may not know what to do although some change in thought or action will be necessary. Look at the situation to understand what has grown unproductive. How can determining what you don’t want lead you to discover what you do want?

Of course, I do not know for sure the changes that have taken place in plaintiff's comprehension, but it seems to me that he has chosen the right path.

 

[diamanda]

Old thread, I know. But I've been re-reading it with great interest.
I think the 'strong woman' here was not the female CEO, but the company.
The strong entity (company) won, the young official (plaintiff) had to withdraw.

Wilhelm on 49:

The two trigrams making up the hexagram are the same two that appear in K'uei, OPPOSITION (38), that is, the two younger daughters, Li and Tui. But while there the elder of the two daughters is above, and what results is essentially only an opposition of tendencies, here the younger daughter is above. The influences are in actual conflict, and the forces combat each other like fire and water (lake), each trying to destroy the other.

More and more I notice that most unchanging hexagrams play out as a 'no' in yes/no questions.
