So I turned to the I-ching and asked "What if we move into the house?" and the answer was Hexagram 6, Arguing (changing lines 2 and 6) turning into Hexagram 45, Gathering. Here are my changing lines:
Line 2
‘Cannot master this argument,
Return home, escape to your town’s people,
Three hundred households.
No blunder.’
Line 6
‘Maybe awarded a grand leather belt.
By the end of the day, stripped of it three times.’
At this point, I am really at a loss. I don't know whether I should give up for a while and go back home, whether we should let go of the house (and start all over again, only more exhausted this time around) or whether to treat this as the final obstacle on our way to making a home for ourselves, even for a short while. Both Hexagrams advice me to "see great people, those whose higher perspective enables them to see beyond the argument to a larger truth" which is what I feel i am doing by asking for your advice.
Thank you!!! Any advice/perspective would be helpful
I asked the Iching again, "what about moving into the house" and I got Hexagram 7 "The army"
Correct me if am I wrong, but isn't a reading based on the present moment? With the information I had at that moment, the reading was spot-on. What you say about long-term may well be true as we are possibly going to be there only for 9 months due to the nature of my partner's work (NHS junior doctor).
Life is about making choices, as you imply, and I guess the best we can hope for is to make the best possible choice within our limitations. Fail, try again, fail better as Beckett used to say. Not exactly optimistic, but there's a lot to be said about endurance as a form of strength.
Thank you so much for engaging with my question!
6.2 tells me "stop arguing, you cannot win this argument, return home to your people" and Hex. 7 highlights this, telling me to gather myself and gather with my own people. I have been reaching out to friends yesterday and they have all been very supportive and sympathetic. Talking to them was soothing, comforting and grounding.
I didn't mention than right after I got Hex.6.2.6 changing into 45 I asked the opposite question: "What if we don't take the house" and got Hex. 29.4.5.6 to 64 which is rather worrying : "Repeating chasms" with line 6 being quite terrifying ‘Bound with good rope and cords. Shut away in a thorn thicket. For three years, gains nothing. Pitfall.’
For me, 29.4.5.6 is an accurate description of what I would feel like and what my circumstances would probably look like if we don't move into the house. I would probably have to go back home since there is nowhere else I could go. This would be hell as there are absolutely no prospects there which resonates with the oracle "These are pits, where you fall into the deep, dark waters, flowing on into the swirling unknowable dark. The chasms repeat...In these deep waters, there is nothing solid out there to hold on to – no external security, no way to orient yourself – and so you hold fast to your heart". My heart at the moment cannot take this, I don't have the energetic or psychic reserves for this right now!
