Moving to another town with my GF, confused answers. Help

[filip102]

Hi folks,

One day ago I asked I ching 1 questions:

1. “What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months with my gf, to pursue music career”?

I got:
HEX 6 (with changing lines 2,5,6) to
HEX 16

HEX 6 was like, okay, i am in the middle of conflict with myself, and my gf is not so happyabout that idea but she’s kinda okay with that, she doesn’t have any choice, she’s scared of new town etc.
Lines was confusing to me, really, no interpretation whatsoever from my end..
HEX 16 was pleasant answer I guess?
Like, new beginnings etc. i was thrilled!

Then, today, I asked one new question, then because of the answer, I asked the same question as yesterday, and i got completely different answer:

1. “What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months by myself ,WITHOUT my gf”?

I got:
H 15 (3,4) to
H 16

Which was wow,sounds great, right? But wait, it’s the same second Hexagram 16. So I asked the same question from yesterday once again:

2. “What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months WITH my gf”?

And i got:
H 31 (1,2) to
H 43

H31 was great, out relaationship is great right now, but it went from that to H43 which had answer that I should’ve been doing that with her.

Please guys, I need help with this one!

Let me know what you guys think

Hi filip102,
To be clear, is your question only about whether or not your girlfriend will come with you or also whether moving in itself is a good idea?

Hi filip102,

Yesterday I have asked about US together, today I asked about moving in by myself without her, and separate question , the same one, about moving in together with her.

That was clear to me from your first post, what I mean is, is moving a fact (are you going anyway, with or without her) or is advice sought on that too.

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood you. I needed the advice on that too.

1. “What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months with my gf, to pursue music career”?

You have basically asked 2 questions in one and this raises the question of what the Yi is answering.
Is the answer focused on just moving or is the answer focused on moving with or without your girlfriend.
So there are as it were 2 "conflicts"

1. to move or not to move
2. with or without a girlfriend

H6 Conflict/Contention
The moving lines show from bottom to top how to deal with the conflict

• 6.2 withdrawing from the conflict
  When only this line moves you get H12. Here Heaven and Earth are moving apart. Communication between Heaven and Earth is blocked.
• 6.5 here the battle is settled
  When only this line moves you get H64. A difficult situation all the elements for change are present and it is up to you to bring order to the chaos.
• 6.6 Here the battle seems to have been won, but that is only an illusion
  When only this line moves you get H47. This is the hexagram of exhaustion, trial and loneliness.

The related hexagram H16 Enthusiasm can be explained in 2 ways. On the one hand as preparing for something ("It is beneficial to establish feudal lords And set armies in motion.") on the other hand as getting someone or yourself enthusiastic about something. In either case, there is a danger of getting too carried away and not seeing things as they are.
So you could interpret H6 <> H16 as the struggle that arises as a result of enthusiasm to move (with your girlfriend).

“What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months by myself ,WITHOUT my gf”?

H15 and H16 are each other's inverses and form a pair. Modesty/Temperance and Enthusiasm.
15.3 Work on modesty and temperance.
15.4 Maintain modesty in everything you do

So when in H16 there is a danger of getting carried away in your enthusiasm, it is important to moderate yourself, maintaining a balanced attitude.

Combining your answer to the first question with this answer, you might wonder if moving is a good idea in itself?

3. “What is the outcome if I move to TOWN in the next two months WITH my gf”?

H31 is the union of Mountain below, Keeping Still and above Lake, Joyous, in other words, staying joyfully still.

• 31.1 the start of a new influence ("Influence in the big toe")
• 31.2 don't follow the influence ("If one remains still, there is good fortune.")

The movement of these 2 lines changes H31 to H43. H43 is the hexagram of eliminating the "weak," that which is not correct. The combination of H31 and H43 can be seen as: by remaining joyfully silent, the weak (the idea of moving with your girlfriend) is eliminated.

This would be my interpretation, but other interpretation may also be possible.
As always, take what resonates and leave the rest
