Hello,
I'm a newbie here.

I asked if I should apply for a test and the Hexagram 26 it was the answer, but I'm not sure how to interpret the changing lines: 2, 4 and 5, but I felt is a negative outcome.
This test is to get points to study in a University in next year.
The problem is: I'm not sure if, due to epidemy, they'll really apply this test (in November) and, if everything goes okay, this test will end up being really useful to me or will be an unnecessary effort.
Any comment will be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi!
While the deadline for subscription is almost over, I conclude that I shouldn't apply.

(Some resources from the Internet)
Changing line 2: You are held back from proceeding because of events beyond your control.
Line 4: A young bull is restrained = a source of good fortune. That which has held you back is observed to be the reason for your growth. Taking early precautions to restrain a wild force can prevent misfortune.
Line 5: The tusks of a castrated boar = good fortune. Something that was potentially a threat is now harmless. Since you understand its nature you can make its power work for you.

What could be dangerous for me (in the future) is now being avoided. I can think of the pandemic.
That was my interpretation.

Could someone comment if I am on the right path please?

I'm not sure what response you got. Did you get 26 without any change lines and you are just asking about lines 2,4 and 5? Or did you actually get 26.2.4.5 - 13?

Assuming your toss resulted in 26.2.4.5, I think the reading is positive for taking the test. The lines describe restraining from squandering energy by maintaining focus on higher goals. So a description of being held back but eventually that works in your favor? Is the pandemic lock down delaying the test? Does delay somehow benefit you - like give you a chance to do more study?

Hi,
Yes, I got 26.2.4.5 (I am still learning I ching).
Thank you for helping me!

Hello,
This is an update with the outcome of the "Hexagram 26.2.4.5".

In the end, the pandemic was not the problem, as I initially thought.
I decided not to take the test (and neither did I study) for two reasons:
- I have health problems and I feared that I'd be straining my body moving to test location.
- The second reason that made me give up is that I don't believe in the effectiveness of the test (the government has been withdrawing the funding from education last months) and maybe wouldn't worth the effort I'd apply to take that test.

Changing line 2: You are held back from proceeding because of events beyond your control.
Line 4: A young bull is restrained = a source of good fortune. That which has held you back is observed to be the reason for your growth. Taking early precautions to restrain a wild force can prevent misfortune.
Line 5: The tusks of a castrated boar = good fortune. Something that was potentially a threat is now harmless. Since you understand its nature you can make its power work for you.
This was perfect and described the situation exactly!

I decided to update this topic because perhaps the outcome can help future visitors.
Cheers!
