Afternoon,

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I can no longer afford to stay in my childhood home and have to move out. It's very difficult to figure out where I'll be going. I'll be making this move with my mom, hopefully to a new house.

I might have a lead towards a new place: Iowa. I was accepted to graduate school there. However, it will cost quite a bit (between $45-$60k), and it's also a low-residency program, meaning I don't HAVE to live where I'm going to school.
I've heard some unusual things about the school, and I wasn't sure if it was the best place to go.

--------------------
I cast an iChing for this.
Question: "What do I need to know about attending school in Iowa?"

I received hexagram 57.2.4-33
---------------------------------

I'm stumped as to what it means. There are some great things about this opportunity, but also some questionable factors. Because of this, I don't want to jump in and move to the town where school is unless it is the right option.

Hi mholden1969,

I'm so sorry to hear that your circumstances are causing you to leave your childhood home?

"What do I need to know about attending school in Iowa?"
57.2.4 to 33 ~ Trust the omens to guide you.

From Liu Ming's "Changing Zhouyi":

57 ~ Xun ~ Compliance
Small offerings; Auspicious for travelling and seeking counsel.​

Image:
Xun describes the good fortune found through compliance with the wisdom gained from proper divination (counsel). Calculation (divinatory technique) and compliance to the outcome is, in this case, the road to success. When we absorb and comply with the spiritual wisdom (wind) found in divination (the voice of the ancestors) success is easy.​

Auspices:
Favorable for success in small matters and/or taking the subordinate role. Good fortune relies on your compliance to divination, so failure to submit to wise omen brings disaster.

Good for divination, following orders, submission, and humility.

Bad for arrogance, travel, lawsuits, extravagance, haughtiness, and impulsiveness.​

Comment:
Xun is divined when it is important to simply let the mysterious unknowable penetrate and shape you. All we do - all we "accomplish" - is only successful when it parallels the larger, mysterious agenda of Heaven (ancestors). Therefore, it is sometimes best to simply comply with the advice of divination...​

Line 2 ~ Secrecy. Yong Shi and Wu in great numbers. Auspicious. No harm.
Use multiple sources of divination. In cross-referencing the advice of several, even many, occult advisors your path becomes clear for action without risk.​

Line 4 ~ Obstructions abate. Three types of game are bagged.
Several clear divinations assist you in establishing, clarifying, and reaching your goals. Proper divination (bagging game) goes well. Your patience and compliance to omen begin to pay off.​

***

I read this as: "Clear your mind (33 - go on Retreat) and trust that what you see (omens) contains the answer (57 - Clarity). Ask for help from your spirit advisors ~ you could bag three types of game ~ a home, a school and a new town."

Good Luck!

I'm sorry I forgot to update this thread; I am currently in my last semester of grad school at the aforementioned university in Iowa. While there have been a few cons, my very first semester was such a beautiful experience, along with the fact I'm likely to receive my Masters soon, I feel it was worth it.
