Question please respond. Hex 30.1.4.5

[joshua1230]

I asked how can I attract success in my career? However I also realized I had something else on my mind. I have been dating two girls and have feelings for both of them. It seems that I ching is referring to that as well... but of course this is only speculations.

I am an actor living in NYC and right now I do not have any sort o acting job. I have been successful in the past - but this is not a time when success is flowing around me. I work at a restaurant and it's pretty depressing sometimes to go through the days wondering if I will work again. Tough career I have chosen.


30. Separating
Line 1:

Threading disorderly,
but nevertheless respectfully.
Without fault.

There is some stumbling or misstepping, perhaps because of lack of experience. This however happens in a spirit of respect. It is not to blame.
Line 4:

It comes suddenly.
It flames up,
dies down,
and is forgotten about.

A short-lived event, with no lasting influence.
Line 5:

Tears come out like heavy rain.
Sorrow and sighing.
Good fortune.

Grieving over a heavy loss. Things go well, however.


Hexagram is changing to:
53. Gradual Development

Gradual development.
The woman marries.
Good fortune.
It is beneficial to persist.

A gradual development is taking place. Things go well. It's good to persevere.
(The woman marrying refers to the gradual development that led to the actual marriage of a woman in the times of the Yijing.)

This answer is speaking about your career as an actor and it is advising you to bide your time for the moment, check the papers, the agents but again do not rush, you may well feel sad at the moment but given time that will pass and in the future an opportunity will present itself, so be patient.

I think this is an explanation of the previous reading you got, the 6:3>44.
There willl soon be some sort of opportunity in your career, which will bring
you into conflict with yourself, and you won't know if you should take it or
not. The answer is no, don't take it, no matter how good it looks. This
answer elucidates that, it will confuse you, it will be something that will
burn out very quickly, and it will make you sad to have to leave it but
leave it you must. Do not be tempted by a quick fix, go for Gradual steady
progress instead.

I think you might be correct about the Yi referring to your recent experience with the two women. Does line 4 resonate with your situation? Brief and intense feelings are reflected in this line.
