Hello fellow ichingers!

This is my first time here. And I hope to come with something interesting for all of us to mingle with :)

Background/Context:
Right now i'm starting on a new business project which involves graphic design, advertising and with sales (equivalent to "door to door sales" but only with businesses). And for about a month now I have been meticulously planning, and preparing everything to get the project off ground. I'm practically 98% ready. Just to mention, I am familiar with how this project works logistically, for I have seen how it works, and before I only worked on the "graphic design" end while a friend/colleague did the sales part.

My only concern is -and having experience with this in the past- mercury is in bloody retrograde. And I have noticed before that such things can really be a nuisance when it comes to logistics, planning and communication. Since i'm bit of a perfectionist. I wouldn't like to start on something and only to found out later that it doesn't work for some x y z reason. So off I go with questions :)

My questions and interpretations:
When is a good time to start on this project?
51.2.5 58
With 58 I can read there much enthusiasm, which I indeed have for this project :) .2 One does not seek what one has lost. and .5 Getting pushed around - One holds firm when the tremors begin, accompanies the others and endures them until they stop.

My vague feeling and interpretation about this one is not too worry and just get on with it? I could imagine 51 refers to this as in "shocked". However I don't know where to put .2 and .5 into context. I am only interpretation those two lines through feeling.

What about next week?
26.2 22
.2 undivided, shows a carriage with the strap under it removed.
Could this mean "go"?
I'm sorry but I don't understand 26 and 22 in a time context for interpretation. :(

What else could I do to improve my project?
35.6 16

35 Progress
.6 When others don't like it, one abstains.
I need help with this one. As .6 to me means "don't move"? Would this mean that I have nothing to improve? Or is there something I have that wouldn't make clients want to move with me?

what else do I need to look out for?
57.3.5 4
57 Separation
.3 Using discretion - One does not show to others to avoid embarrassing them.
.5 Updating - One must inform others because an unexpected event has occurred and one must respond to demands in a timely manner.
4 Ignorance

I think iching is telling me not to be reckless? Would this mean that I shouldn't constantly badger the clients (on the sales side?) Maybe it says not to be arrogant?

How well will I do in X (x is a town where I will do this project)
27.3.5 37

27 Nourishment
.3 One neglects their supply.
I think iching is telling me not too focus too much on how well I will do.
.5 One moves aside to shelter one's friends.
This could be looking after my clients like a family (37)?

Thank and I look forward to your help :)

Surprise Friends?
you may Lose something for good with line two,
don't chase it, you won't get it back.
Make me wonder if it is a partner that is lost and a new one shows up...


What about next week?
26.2 22

A broken wagon means= It's a No Go for next week.

Update in a week to tell us how the readings manifested?

Hi Moss Elk! :) Thank you so much for your reply!

Wow, that's cryptic! How does this fit to a "when" question? This has left me scratching me head. o_O"

I asked iching to elaborate on this, and I got: 57.2.4 33 On taoscopy it gave a very robust clear answer: "One is appalled by the inability of others to make any effort."

Hm, I think this refers to me about a friend who worked with me on this project in a different region/time. Indeed I was unimpressed by his performance. However I don't see how and what this has to do with a "when" question. I am basically doing this project solo. Or is iching giving me a heads up?

A broken wagon means= It's a No Go for next week.

Question
Why not next week? I got 35 which means progress.... progress of what? Mercury retrograding? or this current heatwave that we are having right now?

Update in a week to tell us how the readings manifested?

Will do :) thanks again!

Mercury retrograde has good uses

Mercury retrograde is very good for reviewing plans and completing things, for quality checks and similar. If you are indeed "98% done" (what does that mean, pragmatically?) then I'd expect you to be looking at your readiness to execute to the business plan, after reviewing the plan itself. I'd also think you'd be verifying your assumptions, and in general asking yourself, "Why do I think that? How do I know?"

I practice astrology and am new to Yi, and one thing I'm developing is a sense that they are differently shaped tools.

I don't mix them. Either I trust Yi to encompass the retrograde and don't worry about it. Or I work the chart and don't trouble Yi. If I do both, I do both completely. I never try to both get a result AND validate either method at the same time. So far, they don't contradict each other.

Even so, I pick one. And that's an intuitive exercise. Math doesn't stop making sense after multiple casts, but I've read several threads on how over-frequent casting of Yi further confuses a situation.

Offered in the spirit of use what's useful, ignore the rest.

Hi ZeroPoint :) Thanks for your reply!

I see what you mean and can concur to it aswel. But having experienced Mercury retros before, and seeing how they unfold, I wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to improve and/or review anything related to this project, hence why I turned to iching for advice/guidance :) Hopefully someone can help with the lines too as I am also eager to learn more about them too.
