I am starting a business and asked the question about where my first revenue, my first contract might come from. The answer was both something I feel is very true (essentially - it will come from the inner truth/inner resources that you have) and also a little anxiety-inducing. Any insight on this from more experienced readers? I am still a little lost in how to use this in my thinking or practical steps.Hexagram 14, Great PossessionGiven all you have, who will you be?How can you affirm and support what is good?Great Possession means you are rich – maybe in material goods, maybe in less tangible assets, like knowledge, wisdom, power, energy, talent or relationships. Whatever form it takes, you have something real and potent in your possession.The Chinese word for 'possession' also means 'there is', so this is 'great being' as well as 'great having': what there is and what you are, as well as what you have. The ancient form of the character shows an outstretched hand, which may hold an offering: to possess is to offer; what you have is, by definition, what you can give.And what you have and can give is great. This is pure potential: an opening to the source, and a promise of abundant energy ready to enter into circulation and become creatively active.Changing LinesLine 1'No interaction with what is harmful,In no way at fault,So that hardship is not a mistake.'Line 4'It is not for you to dominate,No mistake.'Line 5'Your truth interacts, strikes awe -Good fortune.'Line 6'From heaven comes help and protection.Good fortune,Nothing that does not bear fruit.'Hexagram 48, the WellWhat is the ever-present resource you draw from?What can you do to realize its potential here?The people of ancient China would sometimes move a whole city to a more favourable site – and they could take everything with them, except the well. You can transplant your centre and change everything about your life, except for the source you draw on to sustain it all. You cannot own this source, nor carry it with you; whenever you move, you will need first of all to dig a new well to reach it.The well itself is utterly dependable: nothing anyone can do will raise or lower the water level. People and experiences come and go; time passes; the well is always the well, and does not change. You need never doubt that you have these resources, or that they are enough. The real question is whether you have the means to reach into such depths, and a steady hand to bring the water up into the real world without loss. To fail would be disastrous. The potential in the situation is undeniable, but it may still be a long way from realization.

Hi Lexi74,

where my first revenue, my first contract might come from
14.1.4.5.6 > 48


I'm afraid the answer is not that great, which means there's a mistake somewhere in your practical calculations, and/or in your methods and/or in your strategy. 14 is "great possessions" indeed, but here there are four out of six lines changing, so that doesn't bode well for profit. Plus, resulting hexagram is 48, which I've seen many times refer to a bank or bank account. Which means, instead of gaining, you'll have to resort to your savings, or need a loan. Here are my thoughts on the lines:

14.1 - have nothing to do with enemies and crooks. Difficulty in building any relationships.
14.4 - you don't know much about this field of business, and/or you're not advertising enough.
14.5 - you're honest in your dealings (but, you're honest without first having established relations and without knowing the business... don't forget the previous two steps)
14.6 - blessed by heaven. Maybe you feel overly optimistic about the whole thing, and you feel that honesty and blessings alone will see you through. But they won't - you need to sort out connections and field research first, otherwise you'll end up dipping into your bank account.

When four lines are changing I also look at the entering line of the resulting hex, in this case 48.2, which shows a well leaking. Overall I'd say review your strategy and concrete steps to take very carefully.

Interesting to see such this perspective on the reading.. whilst I was confused about certain elements I had thought it resonated as positive, it felt as though it was encouraging the me to stay focused on my strengths and authentic style of communication (at that the reference to the Well was about tapping into my core strengths and beliefs - natural inner resources). But perhaps I have been interpreting the readings from an optimistic gut response?

Your question was about where money will come from.
If you had asked "what general attitude will make me successful" I'd say yes it's talking about your style.
It's important to scale the answer to the phrasing of the question.
