Should I have the baby and Yi's answer, 56.3 to 35

[calibred510]

Interpretation and no judgment? Thank you

I for one wouldn't want to make an interpretation on such a weighty matter unless first obtaining a bit more information as to your own gut feelings.

But Trojina has gone to the heart of the issue on this and it seems pretty accurate to me.

What do you think?

 

[Tohpol]

Gosh you're quick on the draw! That's why I changed it....

I was thinking from one of my own experiences where the "burning of the nest" turned out to be something entirely different.

 

[Trojina]

Yes so quick on the draw I'd responded before you'd even changed it. Sorry.

But Topal there is no nest burning in 53.3 is there ? I think you are thinking of 56.3.



Oh no you're right it is 56.3 .....oh well forget I said anything

 

[Tohpol]

Er...56.3 is the reading she received not 53.3...

 

[Trojina]

yes deleted posts as irrelevant

Interpretation and no judgment? Thank you

Okay repeating what I said...how can you say 'interpretation no judgement' with a question like this !?

There are judgements in Yi or there would be no point whatsoever in asking what to do. I mean without a judgement on what other basis could you make a decision ?

Anyway I got the cast wrong thought it was 53.3 but it is 56.3...but on reflection to me it would say that if you don't have it you destroy your own resting place.

As I said I'm not anti abortion, I believe in choice....but you can't possibly expect a no judgement answer with such a question...since your yourself are trying to make a judgement. It's not as if it is a decision that can be made logically is it ?

 

[Tohpol]

Ah well, you must be as tired as I am right now, as I didn't see that you'd made an error until you mentioned 56.3...

Ah well, let's start again...

I think before I can go forward with this reading in greater detail I need some feedback from calibred510 as to her feelings on this. As it stands, 56.3 seems to be saying "burning down" or removal of the "inn/nest" is one avenue open to you in order to achieve progress (35). However, this is also about behaving in an arrogant manner in a foreign situation that could lead you to losing support.

As to which is the better fit is up to you.

 

[Trojina]

And yes Topal's is right it feels wrong to offer advice on if someone should get born or not....but it always would.. Who would ever feel justified in saying 'no don't have your baby' ? No one could say that anyway...they'd be playing God with a potential life, so it comes down to your own feelings and knowledge of the situation.

 

[Trojina]

Ah well, you must be as tired as I am right now, as I didn't see that you'd made an error until you mentioned 56.3...

Ah well, let's start again...

I think I will just put myself to bed for the night.

Besides this question needs a lot of input from calibrad doesn't it. I mean 56.3 might be seen differently if for example if the foetus was not viable maybe or other things...?....but in anycase no respondent here is going to say 'no get rid of the baby' are they...., at least I'd hope not,.and yet we are asked to have 'no judgement'. For me the question just doesn't compute....maybe I'm too tired yes....

As I say I am pro choice in the matter yet it's not a choice that can be decided here is it ? calibrad needs another way to make this choice doesn't she ?

 

[Tohpol]

Indeed.

I hope you, calibred get all the support you need in making this decision.

Interpretation and no judgment? Thank you

This answer is about no going back decisions which also result in a loss of young assistant.

It's not really telling you either way what you should do, because decisions are always our own to make, free will is annoying that way. What the oracle is saying is that this is a major decision that will cost you a lot either way and also, I think the use of 56, traveler, points to someone who is not 'of here', they are in passing. Obviously, you cannot be just in passing of your own life, but you can be just in passing of another life (the baby/the father?), so consider your decisions in a light of how it will affect everyone else too.

35 is about all those horses mating all day long (three times).

I think Bradford's take on this line is very apt. It says that persisting is hard to do, but it also has those lines at the end "although he would soon move on, now is the worst time for leaving. Although he has nothing now, now is the best time to give."

Anyway, it's a tough decision to make, be sure you are the one who makes it.

Should I have the baby?
56.3 > 35

Yes. Wilhelm's Judgment, resulting hexagram, connotations of your handle, and the psychology of the situation agree.

The Judgment

The Wanderer. Success through smallness.
Perseverance brings good fortune
To the wanderer.

You are the wanderer, uncertain of destination. The interpretation of 'smallness' and 'perseverance' is obvious.

Resulting hexagram

I have long held that hexagram 35 is the hexagram of the baby.

Connotations of your handle calibred510

calibred: inner enlargement.
bred: To produce (offspring), past tense.
510: a caliber larger than the smallest shotgun size (410). Again, enlargement.

Psychology of the situation

You would not have asked this question if you did not have doubts about not having it. The line text suggests a change of residence and difficulty with the baby's father.
