Should I move or stay where I amYour reading resulted in the following hexagrams: changing to 23 2Hexagram 23, Stripping AwayKey QuestionsWhat has worn out?Is there a less painful way to let this go?What is underneath the surface?Oracle'Stripping away.Fruitless to have a direction to go.'The surfaces are cut and sliced away; the old and unviable is stripped back to expose the living core. This inevitable, natural process often feels like a flaying: the more you have invested of yourself in these old things, the more painful it will be.It's no good, at such times, to imagine the future and make plans. You need to bring your energy back to the centre and honour the process: this is a time to be transformed, not to act. Moreover, until the old is so utterly stripped from you that you have no choice but to think in new ways, you will only be able to re-create the old patterns.Image'Mountain rests on the earth: Stripping Away.The heights are generous, and there are tranquil homes below.'SequenceStripping Away follows from Hexagram 22, Beauty:'Involved in brightening the appearance; this means success will be truly exhausted, and so Stripping Away follows.'PairStripping Away forms a pair with Hexagram 24, Returning:'Stripping away: rotten. Returning: turnaround.'Changing LinesLine 6'A ripe fruit uneaten.Noble one gets a cart,Small people strip their huts.'Hexagram 2, EarthKey QuestionsHow are you being guided?How can you lend your strength?Oracle'Earth.From the source, creating success.The constancy of a mare bears fruit.A noble one has a direction to go.At first, confusion. Later, gains a master.Fruitful in the southwest, gaining partners.In the northeast, losing partners.Peaceful constancy brings good fortune.'Earth is first described in the same words as the Creative Force of Hexagram 1 because they are partners in the flow of creation. Creation unfolds from the original vital energy, creating success with an ongoing exchange between spirit and daily work, flowing through to fruition – in Earth, through the constancy of a mare.The mare is strong, tireless and incomparably fast, and she is acutely sensitive to the subtlest cues. When you have a mare's constancy, you will be steadily loyal to the truth, and always alert and responsive to guidance.The noble one has a direction to go: she is purposeful, she has a destination in mind, but this doesn't mean she has her route to it already mapped out. And so at first there is confusion: you set out like a pioneer, open to all the possibilities, and find them as many as scattered rice-grains. But later, since you have set yourself in motion, you can receive guidance – you 'gain a master'.A master is someone who lights the way. You gain someone or something to be loyal to, where you can find fulfilment in service. Once you have this guiding principle (which may or may not be a person), you begin to follow signs as fluently as the mare.The Zhou people sought out allies in the southwest before venturing into the northeast to face the Shang. There is a balance to be found between joining with like-minded people and following your own calling alone – but gaining allies comes first. Perhaps your individual sense of purpose emerges more strongly when you've learned to work responsively with others, like the mare running with the herd.And when you can spread your senses out to roam southwest and northeast without limit, you will be peacefully at home in the whole earth.Image'Power of the land: Earth.A noble one, with generous character, carries all the beings.'
