Stop studying Hex 2 unchanging

[goddessliss]

The talk that has gone on this thread -http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?t=14855
has got me thinking a lot and last night I just realised there is a whole lot that I am totally over having in my life.

I am considering stopping my study altogether, the casual job I am doing is not really helping me to move forward financially - a whole lot of work for very little and sometimes nothing, I don't want to live in the house I am living because of the housemate so what to do from here -

How ill it benefit me to stopy studying Hex 2 unchanging

from http://www.yijing.nl/i_ching/hex_1-16/hex_e_02.htm

Field, eminent - expansion Harvest - determination of a mare.
The noble one proceeds probing. As pioneer he meets with confusion, in the rear he finds a master.
Harvest: in the Southwest finding friends (or money), in the Northeast losing friends.
A determination of peace: auspicious.

Definitely confusion as I try to work out what to do - the master I am reading is me taking control of what is going on.
Harvest: southwest - well I'm moving southeast and northeast well I hope I am not losing friends but just living in a different place to them.

How will it benefit me to put my energy solely in to my business (career wise)

Hex 7.2>2

Interesting Hex 2 coming up again -
9 at 2: To live in the center of the legion. Auspicious. Without fault. The king confers three commands.
Live in the center of what you do or make. Being 'one' with whatever you do is the best way of making it great. It is not possible to organize without being part of it. In order to make it into an organic whole, it has to be part of one's own organism. One cannot 'think' of all the details that have to be done, they have to come natural.

Certainly looks like the right thing to do.


How will it benefit me to promote my business in the south

Hex 44.1.2>13
This looks like not to focus my business in the south...

As usual I always welcome and look forward to your help.

have a joyous day - Liss

Many hexagrams and lines to consider here. Just to comment on 44.1.2 and 7.2 > 2:

The translation I have been studying is a bit confusing here, but perhaps may help your intuition?

44. Providing

Line 1:

Fastened to a firm Ni tree.
Persistence brings good fortune,
have a goal to move to.
Notice misfortune:
An entangled swine is sure to step around and trample.

Having someone in a dependent position. Things go well by continuing if there is a good reason for it. Because of the dependency, there is a responsibility for the well-being of this person. If the situation does turn bad for the person, he or she will, within the limitations that are there, try to do something about it.
(The Ni tree has very hard wood. So what is being fastened to it is securely tied. The swine, if gotten entangled in the rope with which it is bound, will panick. It will move around wildly, entangling itself more in the process. So one has a responsibility to keep an eye on things being okay.)

Line 2:

There is fish in the surroundings.
Without fault to not benefit guests.

There is something useful available. It is not wrong to not let others benefit from it.

Is the dependent person yourself? Or someone working for your business, perhaps?

Here teamwork would appear to be stressed:

7. The Army

Line 2:

Being amidst the army.
Good fortune, without fault.
The king three times gives orders.

Participating fully in a team. Things go well, this is not wrong. The team receives orders from a superior that need to be carried out.

and here is a take on 2, which has come up twice for you in relation to this:

2. Land

Land.
A foundation for progress.
Beneficial is the persistence of a mare.
The noble one has a goal to move to.
Being confused at first,
later acquiring mastery.
It is beneficial that companionship is gained in the southwest,
companionship is lost in the northeast.
Calm persistence brings good fortune.

There is a new potential, for you to develop. At first you'll not know your way, but you'll gain a handle on the situation and eventually master it. Just calmly proceed. It is beneficial to make partners and allies, and not to move on with people who have different interests.
(At the original place and time of the I Ching, allies were in the southwest, territory they wanted to conquer was in the northeast.)

So here you should stick with allies, and focus less on territory which you want to conquer. Presumably, that will come on its own, with good teamwork. Calmly proceed with your plans, and all should be well. I think the underlined is very auspicious.

You have a license (whatever it's called) to serve drinks. Why aren't you working in a bar or
restaurant somewhere? Wouldn't that pay better than what you're doing now? You have a good ear
and listen to people -- exactly what many patrons need more than drinks. Probably your social life
would improve. And you play the piano. How good are you at "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"? Play it again, goddessliss. One needn't be a pro to entertain. The aura of hexagram 2 is a powerful thing.
