Hi there I threw a reading some time ago regarding a life long hobby of mine. Its a hobby that involves other people and weekly meet-ups. My current plan is to stick with the hobby until the end of the year. But I threw this some time ago before that and don't think I fully understood what it meant. Any advice or help in interpretation would be appreciated.
I asked:
Should I give up X?
Response:
Hexagram 48.1.2.3 -> 3
I realize this is not a great question to ask as it's a "yes or no" question with a definitive implied answer. As I realize the answer is complex I don't expect a definitive yes or no interpretation on this. Usually the Yijing doesn't serve well to yes or no questions in the asking or interpreting for.
If anything what this hexagram verifies for me is that in the past my hobby has been stagnating - i've been allowing myself to be held back and not giving it all my go (line 3) I've been allowing inferior influences to overtake me in association with it. (line 2) And perhaps the hobby is a little in need of renovation at some level (line 1)
Line 3 - seems to contradict any interpretation for line 1 being a decisive advice to give up the hobby. Line 2 seems to reinforce the need for a more sincere attitude towards the hobby.
Hexagram 3 seems to advice not taking any action - to get myself out of a confused state and to seek helpers (hobby involves instruction) - that i'm still at the starting level - (which i feel whole heartedly even though i've done it so long) seems to advice taking part in what is going on instead of retreating.
Overall the response is a stern and strong message to get my act together - and stop horsing around and wasting time. I think it's encouraging me to deepen my work with it.
Stop being shy and really go for it with all i've got.
I'd appreciate any comments or advice... :bows:
