Questions about moving - Semi-Urgent please

[ck4vmjilu]

I just signed my lease to renew it November 1st, but now am hoping to ask my landlord to make it month to month so I can move within the next month or two (which would be temporarily much more expensive). My dad is currently staying with me on my couch due to health issues he needs to be looked after, it was supposed to be temporary but I don't see him moving out anytime soon and we need more space. And I'm feeling a sense of urgency to move as my neighborhood is becoming drastically less safe for my kids and I to live recently.

Generally I put a lot of time trying to make my own interpretation first for my readings when posting to this community. However in context of moving, I am more than baffled and overwhelmed trying to translate it as such. So I beg of you to please help me interpret without requiring I give too much of my own first... please. This is the conversation with the castings to get a game plan because I need to talk to my landlord ASAP if this move is going to happen. Hopefully I didn't ask too many questions. I generally limit them, but some of the questions split up as either/or options (i.e. the particular house vs. waiting)

Please comment on idea of moving out of here with my dad? 28.2 > 31
Seems to encourage the transition. Paints a pretty good picture of the current stress and sounds like it's fruitful to have a direction to go. And line two kind of matches the situation, albeit the older man is my dad. Hex 31 seems positive too to follow through.

Should I change my lease to month-to-month? 53.1.3.6 > 3
This seems like a yes? But Line 3 has me hesitant, as it's hard for me to read multiple lines. I generally read multiple lines as steps of change when interpreting myself though...

Where should I look to move to? 22.1 > 52
Somewhere beautiful . I was hoping for one of those "fruitful to go Northeast" type of hex's but there's no direction really here. Line 1 does say to put away the carriage and going on foot... which led me to my next question:

What of moving to (a particular house in mind) I saw relatively nearby? 47.2.5 > 16
The omen looks kinda positive? Confined creating success... constancy good fortune. But what are the words not to be trusted? Maybe the offer is a scam and not to be trusted?
Relating, I'm too enthusiastic about it.
Although the lines both say fruitful to use offerings. However pitfall if setting out to bring order (Line 2)?

What of waiting until a more suitable place? 26.5.6 > 5
Gradual progress and Waiting speak of crossing the great river. And this looks positive in general too. Lines 5 and 6 are good fortune and creating success. Taming impulses in Line 5 is good fortune but what to make of "Is this heaven's highway? Creating success" in line 6.

How will I know when to move? 41.1.2 > 23
Decreasing with me relating as Stripping Away. Sounds like I'll know when to move when I have to downsize? Or desire to downsize? Completely baffled.

Thank you in advance. I appreciate your help with this.

I agree with you about the 28 to 31 reading.

The 53.1.3.6 to 3 reading might be describing what will happen if you try to do this (get out of your lease and move), rather than yes or no. 53.1 might be some negotiation with your landlord, maybe a bit fraught. 53.3 describes basically everyone in sight failing to fulfill responsibilities. Can't say exactly what that is without knowing your landlord's policies, but my guess is that when you bring this up, your landlord might be unhappy with you, and you'll in turn be unhappy with him/her, which seems to fit with the need for negotiation in line 1, maybe? Line 6 might suggest there'll be some kind of settlement? Not sure. My most memorable encounter with 53.6 involved someone doing something quite strange and controversial with his will, although I can see how his decision would have made sense to him.

22.1 to 52 - am guessing Yi's saying it can't tell you this in any satisfying way. It can't say, "Oh, go buy that house at 378 Elm Street; it'll be perfect!" There's probably more to it than that, though. Yi's perfectly capable of giving hints, and it seems to have declined to give you any. Maybe the implication is you'll actually do best just looking yourself, rather than asking Yi to vet things? Not sure.

I'm not sure about the next two readings. I kind of "like" the second one more than the first one, whatever that's worth, and I wonder if 26.5 might be a direct comment on the trouble and difficult positions in the 47 to 16 reading? That one (47 to 16) might be more clear once you actually start looking into the nearby house. You might recognize the lines once you get going with it.

The last reading, 41.1.2 to 23, might be saying you're getting ahead of yourself. 41.1 might mean you'll know it when you see it, or something like that. 41.2 - don't try to "bring order" now; don't try to settle everything now. Letting things up in the air for now might feel like "decrease," but it's actually "increase."

These were all really quick guesses, of course, and will probably be all wrong. Just the other day, I thought I had a really good idea what a reading of my own meant - my interpretation made very good sense, it seemed to click right into place - the only flaw was that once things got going it was completely wrong! What ended up happening fit the reading, too, it was just completely different than what I'd thought ahead of time. Sometimes I wonder if the best thing is just to write our readings on paper and put them in our pockets for when things actually get going...

On second thought, maybe it means go find possible places, and then ask Yi about them specifically, rather than asking about the clear blue sky. Yi might mean that in this case, it can help better with concrete options than wide-open advice. That's not always true, but it might be this time. Yi seems to have given you a helpful reading about the nearby house, for instance.

Please comment on idea of moving out of here with my dad? 28.2 > 31
A good idea. Or, your dad will soon find a young partner.

Should I change my lease to month-to-month? 53.1.3.6 > 3
A clear no. Danger, then a permanent separation of some sort, and someone departing, then chaos.

Where should I look to move to? 22.1 > 52
Either somewhere near where you are, or, somewhere where you won't have to commute for anything - walking distance to everywhere.

What of moving to (a particular house in mind) I saw relatively nearby? 47.2.5 > 16
Oppression, everywhere, and illusion, doesn't sound good to me.

What of waiting until a more suitable place? 26.5.6 > 5
This sounds like a good idea, but you'll first have to tame a strong minded person who's causing problems. You might have to wait quite a bit.

How will I know when to move? 41.1.2 > 23
Not sure. Maybe when you are so exhausted by looking after everyone else that you feel like collapsing.

Well...I hope the very worst thing that could happen is that the landlord would say "no." I can't imagine anyone being evicted for asking a question.

Hexagram 3 might be CK putting out feelers with the landlord. I think 53 and the lines mean that this part won't be simple or quick. I'd be shocked if there was an exchange where CK asks, "May I change my lease to month-to-month?" and the landlord immediately replies, "Yes! Done!" That wouldn't fit the reading, I don't think.

Good (recommends that you be careful and moderate)

53.1.3.6
It's quite complex, maybe the landlord won't like it. I think a debate is worth avoiding.

52 is depict a picture of a mountain - maybe it might help.
22.1 - I would like to recommend an interesting interpretation from Wu :. Highly placed people offer you assistance, but this offer may not be coming from an honorable source, or it may not be proper for you to accept it. Because you are strong enough, know enough, and have the resources to bring about the refinements.

47.2 and 5 are not quite positive for me. Depicts the base situation and the person with non acceptable offer appears again.

What of waiting until a more suitable place? 26.5.6 > 5
Gradual progress and Waiting speak of crossing the great river. And this looks positive in general too. Lines 5 and 6 are good fortune and creating success. Taming impulses in Line 5 is good fortune but what to make of "Is this heaven's highway? Creating success" in line 6.

In my interpretation you can move or agree with landlord. Take quick steps - good luck in line 5. But someone is threatening you (a person with influence - maybe the landlord? or from a subordinate...) You can put an end to that threat. Line 6 is good furtune.

Decreasing with me relating as Stripping Away. Sounds like I'll know when to move when I have to downsize? Or desire to downsize? Completely baffled.

Thank you in advance. I appreciate your help with this.

41.1 - You will get help. When obstacles are removed. You can get a help from a well-positioned people. 41.2 is almost the same, and we find an indication that you are helping others - and it is good.
based on these, I think when you get help (coming soon. This is interesting compared to 22.1 and 47.2 where the helper is malicious hmmm....)

Wow thank you all for your replies! I’m so sorry for the delay in responding. I truly appreciate your answers though, they make a lot of sense.

To update status:
Upon further research of my lease, it looks like I have an option to buyout the lease for a not too bad sum of money and my current financial and recent health situation that came up, I wouldn’t be able to move for at least 3-5 months. So I discussed with dad in keeping the lease as is and paying cheaper rent for now (it’s about $500+ more a month to change month to month terms) and using the next 3-5 months to save that money we’d be paying in extra rent in order to buy out the lease and move. It’d be cheaper in the long haul, patience shall persevere .
