Rent situation, Hex 44.2.6>49

[dancing flame]

Hi,

Second one I'm posting today, hope that's ok.

Anyway, you'll see from previous post I got a reprieve on my rent from my very lovely understanding landlord. Its due end next week and I really don't want to let him down and he's put so much trust in me. Although I'm looking for work it'll take a while for me to find a job so I'm still in the same postion of needing money to pay my rent and not knowing where it'll come from.

I asked Yi, what about money to pay my rent next week? I got 44.2.6>49, hidden Hex is 1. I can see from past posts that there's lots of uncertainty around Hex 44. I use Stephen Karcher who seems to have a different take on it than Wilhelm who is quoted on past threads (will need to get Wilhelm so I'm in sync with what most of you are saying).

Karcher says:

A time to welcome what comes to you. Acting through the woman and the yin brings invigorating strength. Welcome what comes. Do not try to impose your will. This is a time of meetings, brief, intense encounters, that involve universal forces. Do not try to control things directly, but realise what happens to you reflects the union of these powers. Great things are moving in these events. The spirit spreads throughout the world. You are coupled with a creative force. It brings unexpected encounters, lucky coincidences and enjoyable happenings. Do not try to hold on to things. These contacts will come and go. When Heaven and Earth meet, all the beings join in a brief radiant display. The time of welcoming and coupling is truly great.

2: A womb preganant with coming abundance. Do not be or accept a guest.

6: You are making an encounter into a trial of strength. Become aware of it and turn back to the way. Then you will be without fault.

Can anyone give me an insight into what this is telling me?

Thanks
Much appreciated

2. Do not be a guest.

Do not become complacent about your landlord's giving you an extension. You are not a guest, you are a renter. The landlord is trying to help you get your life together but he will not be able to allow you to stay on without paying much longer.

6. Making an encounter into a trial of strength.

The landlord has very kindly given you an extension, don't turn things into a battle of wills . If you are unable to meet your obligation to him at the end of the time given you, you should not ask for more but should politely pack up and leave.

As these lines change to 49. Revolution I see this as assuring you that if you are unable to make the rent in the time necessary it maybe that it is a good thing that you not be living there, maybe it's time for a change.

P.S.
I see this reading as not saying you wont be able to make the rent, but rather as the I Ching encouraging you to look at the situation without fear, without feeling things must turn out a certain way or it will be the end of the world. By deflating any anxiety you have around the issue you have a more of a chance to see things clearly and maybe actually see work opportunities. So you are being told that while your landlord has very kindly made this last ditch effort to keep his tenant, you needn't cloud your thinking with heaps of worry that you have let the man down. Make your best effort and don't take advantage of his kindness, but if you have to move on then do so, simple as that.

Hello,
Just had a look at your other readings too, to understand the situation.

What about money to pay my rent - 48, 5+6, to 18
This sounds as if it's telling you 'you know the truth', you know what to
do, listen to what you already know in you. 18: work on what has been
spoiled. There's a decaying situation somewhere in your life, and you
need to invest your energy into correcting that situation.

What should I do about my rent situation - 12
Stagnation, standstill, not much can be done. The only certain thing
you need to do is stay away and say no to the wrong kind of people.

Why the obstruction - 54, change 1, to 40
You are in a situation where you are jeopardising your self respect.
There isn't much you can do, this situation is hindering you from
being able to accomplish anything worthwhile. You need 40, to deliver
yourself from that somewhat humiliating position, get rid of it.

What is the best approach to take in looking for work? It said 25.1>12
Here we come to 12 again. 25:1 tells you that you are sincere, you are
following your heart, but, there is 12. 12 means nothing moving,
stagnation, but it's not a matter of 'bad luck' or 'bad times' (as eg in
hex.41). 12 means say no to the wrong people. This could also mean,
you know in your heart exactly what you need to do, but instead of
following that, you hang around with the wrong kind of people.

How do I change my financial situation? It said, 5.1.4.6>44
It doesn't tell you how, but it tells you what not to do. If you wait,
for something external to happen, then you'll end up in a very
vulnerable position, where someone approaches you with bad
intentions. And in your vulnerability there's the danger that you
won't be able to resist them, which will have bad results.

How will job tender work out? 45.6>2 (but i guess you meant to 12)
As you said, 'You are surrounded by the wrong people'. Even if you
lament and beg, towards that solution, you still have 12, right
there, blocking your way forward.

What about money to pay my rent next week? I got 44.2.6>49
This looks very related to the previous answers 5.1.4.6>44, and
54, 1, to 40. You waited, in anguish, you risked your self respect,
and in your vulnerability, here comes 44.
44, someone is approaching you with bad intentions. You should
not accept this someone as a guest. Not only that, you really need
to shut them out of your life with force. And 49, revolution,
drastically change your life, by removing the old (i wonder if there's
also a hint here that you could sell something?).

In my opinion, all this is telling you to listen to your own self and
not look towards false solutions. You need to work, with energy, to
correct this whole situation. At the same time, there seems to be
a person, or people, in your life, who are draining you and are really
bad for you, and no matter what you try, progress is made impossible
because of them. If you are to make any progress at all, you need to
stay totally, completely away from this person/people.

Hope it all works out for you!

Thanks Diamanda, the reading re the job tender was 45 changing to 2 not 12 as you assume, which I presume will give a somewhat different reading. There's no one bad in my life so I assume its about me and my negative aspects that I need to change.

25.1>12 you advise may be about saying no to the wrong people. Yi and others have always indicated that I should let go the old and trust to follow my true path, which is what I was doing in taking the time to set up my business. Wrong people could be about going back to a career I thought I'd left behind. It took many years to let it go, many times stepping off the cliff and running back in fear, and this is the first time I've really trusted and gone this far. But I seem to be back in a familiar place of not having money and needing to take do the old work and can't think of any other way to do it. I also can't think of any wrong people in my life.

Rosada, this isn't a last ditch attempt by my landlord to keep me. We've got a great relationship and communicate very well and we've not had any real problems in the past - just me being a few days late a few times, which he's been ok about. This is the latest I've ever been. He made it clear he doesn't want to lose me, understands the difficulty and trusts me to sort things out. There's been no pressure or foreboding on his part.

The option to move isn't one for me. I'm in a lovely home and its a stable base, which I need right now. i can't turn my life around if I'm in flux, so I can't consider leaving and don't believe I have to. I don't know how but this will get resolved and I'm doing everything in my power to change things.

I'm in a big believer in the power of thought and our ability to change our internal beliefs, so for me its about believing in possibilities and taking action to make them happen. And I've had miracles, unexpected gifts/outcomes come into my life in the past, so a miracle is still possible.

I see Yi as guidance, not the definitive outcome and despite my worry and concern in a stressful situation, I really do believe if I change my beliefs and put my mind to it, things can change and the situation can right itself.

Thanks for all your advice, I really appreciate it and its nice to know I've got your support.

 

[diamanda]

Ok, it's because you said "45.6>2", so if you get 45, with changing
line 6, then that gives you 12. In order to get 2 from 45 then you
need changes 4 and 5, not change 6. In which case this particular
reading would change completely.

 

[dancing flame]

Yes, you're right Diamanda. Thanks for making it clear to me, I didn't notice my mistake. A good note to be more vigilent.

 

[rosada]

Hmmm...just realized 44.2.6 doesn't change to 49, but to 32. Certainly a more positive omen for you being able to continue to live where you are.

Dancing Flame, you seemed to feel my interpretation did not apply to your situation, but consider your original question in this thread, "What about the money?" You didn't ask where you might find work or how your living situation was to be resolved but rather you simply asked the I Ching to restate what was going on with your finances at this time and - I believe - the I Ching has told you, "Your landlord has been very accomodating but you ought not require him to be this way forever." This is not saying you will or will not come up with the money, only that that is what the situation is now, which is what your question asked.

 

[dancing flame]

I've doubled checked and it defintely changes to 49 not 32. Just realised I gave you the wrong reading. It was 44.1.2.6>49. I left out line 1 by mistake.

I've just thrown again asking, what shall I do to right this situation. Got 35 no changing lines, which sounds positive according to Stephen Karcher.

Also followed your advice and asked, How can I resolve my living situation? Got 42.1.2.3>57, which sounds positive.

Then asked, where might I find work? Got 16.6>35

 

[Trojina]

I honestly don't see where asking the Yi is really going to get you with a problem like this in that i feel common sense would work just as well. Apart from winning the lottery theres limited options isn't there ?

Even if you got a job tomorrow you wouldn't get paid for a while presumably. Here in the Uk we can get rent paid if out of work by applying for Housing Benefit but that too takes some time to set up. I don't know if you can get such help where you are ? But if you aren't working and you can't borrow thats about the only avenue i can see - apart from another negotiation with the landlord or moving out...oh you could get a house/room mate if your place is big enough

44 to 49.......does your landlord have a wife, by any chance? beware!

if there's no dangerously money-hungry woman in the picture, then the 44 to 49 is exactly what Rosada says, a situation that is unsavory and threatening, and requiring a transformation of some kind, perhaps in your being willing to consider options. I definitely agree that things can change on a dime, over night, but there is an element of free-falling that makes that possible.

remember the story of the man who was waiting for God to save him? he was so sure "God was coming" that he turned down several offers of redemption because they were unusual- looking. When you are free-falling, you are open to EVERY possibility because your options seem to be run out. This situation requires very practical measures. 44.6 is about coming to meet with the horns, humiliating, but no fault. It isnt a matter of blaming yourself, but it is one of getting what you need RIGHT NOW. A bank loan, an offer to barter work on the property, a credit card, a relative, unemployment funds, appealing to a local charity at a church, welfare ( in the US), getting legal aide advice for tenants eviction laws, and if nothing else, arranging an IOU for one month's skipped rent if the landlord is amenable....surely there is some route you can envision.

BUt truly that is all the guidance of the I ching can tell you: what you are already faced with. and with 44 as the oracle, I would start rigorously pursuing the unusual routes for getting some cash, all of them, and then determine that you WILL have a job in 30 days, failure has to be not an option for that.

Thanks Trojan, Listener and all,

I'm not discounting your advice and I agree that a very practical solution is needed. But I also know from experience that in taking action and praying and trusting, things can resolve themselves in unexpected ways. I've had it happen to me many times before. Action on its own is limited, faith on its own is foolish, but the two combined are powerful. I know this from experience. My talk of miracles is based on this. I've been on the edge at different points in my life and there's always been the unexpected - the gift, the phonecall, that comes at the last moment.just as I'm about to give up. When I remember this I come out of fear and find my space of calm and centredness, which is where I'm at now.

I stand by what I say. For me the Yi is guidance, it shows you possibilities, and I absolutely believe that the power to change things is within myself. So I'm taking all the practical actions needed to resolve things, following your wise advice and holding on to faith and trust, knowing that its not my time to leave this home and somehow this situation will resolve itself. I don't know how but I absolutely believe and know that it will.

I'm signing off now and will be in touch to let you know the outcome.

Blessings

It will indeed be interesting to hear how your situation evolves, Dancing Flame. I'm thinking now that perhaps 44.1.2.6 > 49 is telling you how in general money works for you. That 49 as the change line seems to describe your experience that somehow or other things have a way of working out to your benefit in the end. Using Karcher's references to the womb causes me to reconsider the I Ching's comment to you. Perhaps we should interpret 44.2 as meaning you have found yourself a safe haven, a womb, for the time being and 44.6 as reasuring you that you ought not stress this pleasant time, enjoy it and be ready to get to work when 49. Your own day comes.
Let us know!

"When I remember this I come out of fear and find my space of calm and centredness, which is where I'm at now."

I am glad to hear that. The only thing to fear is fear.
