questio about business - 13 changing to 37???

[padma]

In all honesty - it was not a relationship question! I am thinking to start a small business, and I asked about its potential. Now if someone figures something out of this reply, (13 to 37, 4th line changing) pray tell me! :bows: Thanks in advance

Oh, forgot to mention that I am about to open this business in my own house (in case this may have anything to do with "family")

The business being inside the home can spark a lot of hostility from other family members. 13.4 > 37 suggests hostility that is kept under wraps. The angry people climb a high wall metaphorically and do not attack.

When starting a business in the home, a lot of prior discussion is necessary so that family members understand when you are available and when you are "at work." Having a sign or posting the hours when you are unavailable and at work might be necessary in some cases. In any case, there will be an interim period in which everybody gets used to the arrangement.

FELLOWSHIP WITH MEN in the open.
Success.

Make sure you maintain networks with friends, associates, and potential customers.

It furthers one to cross the great water.
The perseverance of the superior man furthers.

Crossing the great water always refers to Wood with either Water or Lake. In this hexagram we have Wood, the boat, but no path. No Water (a tumultuous path) or Lake (a calm path). There's no path of action until we get to Hexagram 37, where the boat is over dangerous waters, associated with the plan of action being doing this in your house.

THE FAMILY. The perseverance of the woman [yin 2] furthers.

Both hexagrams emphasize line 2. Yin in line 2 means two things now. It means the superior man and the woman, but these are just metaphors so we can combine them into superior yin. By remaining gentle, yet focused and kind, you can manage all the people who will surround you in this venture. What ginnie said plays into this.

Nine in the fourth place means:
He climbs up on his wall; he cannot attack.
Good fortune.

This indicates that your first plan of action might be a mistake, one you retreat from momentarily, but learning from it, your second plan of action will lead to good fortune. Or, maybe if you've tried to start a business, or worked enough similar jobs, before, this indicates that all will go well for you now.
