Hexagram 11 isn't about peace as in everything being peaceful . It can be anything but..!.Its another hexagram where the title is misleading. Hilary calls it 'Flow' as in where in 12 all is 'stopped' or not interactng in 11 everything is moving along...IN A BIG WAY. That is it is a flow beyond and above you
I think 11 unchanging is just advice to keep your eye on the bigger picture here. The whole event is so much more than who has the furniture....the fact is hes moving on...its flowing, theres movement, its good..its definately not always peaceful it can be tumultuous. A big moving connecting flow of energy in the situation, that can sweep you along with it. So it just says things are moving along big time. Perhaps you don't need to worry too much
In terms of the question of the effect of your letter...its just one little thing in the midst of a much larger movement/event
IOW energetically this is a much bigger development than it might appear. Flow being a great influx of moving energy going where its meant to go.....carries the furniture quite easily along with it
a shot in the dark here, but if it's unchanging nothing will change
if you feel the need to send it, then by all means send it- disregard any reading and do what you feel. but wouldn't be simpler if you just pick up the phone and ask him " what are you planning to take from MY house?"
It is said from time to time on Clarity that any hexagram "unchanging" reverses the meaning of the hexagram. I've heard that several times now. What is the support for this though? Where does this idea come from? Hilary, LiSe, Sparhawk,T, Bradford, Pocossin, Charly, Sooo? -- other heavy hitters I haven't thought to mention -- who is out there today? I'd like to be sure before I send this letter that it's worth sticking my neck out!
For instance, what is Hexagram 52 unchanging then? Everything is moving? And why would that be?
Not qualifying as a 'heavy hitter' whatever that is...lol but I don't think the UC hex is the exact opposite of itself...
Theres loads of threads here about unchanging hexagrams. I wish there was a sticky on it..
Some people think the UC hexagram asks you a question....as in this is what there is...what are you going to do with it ? No changing lines may mean you can't sort of get a direct handle on it...perhaps its hard to relate subjectively to it .Hilary has done several blog pots on UC hexagrams I think and she has said it can be asking you a question. Other times I think its just quite an emphatic statement about how the situation is. IOW it can show a situation that stands as it is, that you can do nothing much about. It can be either of these things and more. Theres no hard rule to follow., its really down to your intuition
I don't think the UC hexagram reverses its meaning...otherwise you'd get a hexagram with that meaning wouldn't you...but it can mean you can't access it or its out of your control.
I feel 11 unchanging is pretty much a forward movement beyond your control....but your first personal interpretation seems valid to me too
52 unchanging can't mean 'everything is moving' but its more usually a pretty emphatic statement to be still/not moving which could mean you are moving alot...
You cannot send the letter or not on the basis of replies here now can you. You know no one has the answer for you....its not like the answer is 'out there' But don't you need to explore what is causing you to hesitate ? Whats against sending the letter ? There must be something or you would have just sent it.
Its hard for an outsider to really get it. You obviously have very strong negative feelings for him. What are you going to do with the furniture if he doesn't take it...are you going to put it all in your house...will their be room... I dunno I kind of feel you don't need the I Ching here, you know him...something holds you back from sending the letter...so how could anyone heres understanding of 11 make you send or not send it.
In the Sorrell's book, they say Confucious was irritated by hex 22 because he felt it told him he was taking himself too seriously. they saw the hexagram as a call to lighten up.
Not saying that is applicable to you, but in your reading, unchanging could possibly mean that your ex will not take your letter too seriously. Hex 22 is a little easier to understand when it is unchanging...iow I feel it is suggesting that the issue is cosmetic. Your ex could imagine that your words are just a "show" of power, not substantially backed up.
all this would make me feel that some real legal action is called for, so he knows you mean business. If I am correct about the reading, then the letter won't have real meaning until he gets a notice from the courts. 22 reflects what you said about him having a laugh at the system and his obligations. Do you think maybe he suspects your hands are tied, and/or that you won't follow through?
Arabella, I just found an old reading of mine for 11uc in my diary, it was about a gyrotonics teacher who shared the space I was working in and we just didnt get along, misinterpretations, rubbing each other up the wrong way and then one day I dreaded going to the studio, seeing her there and being uncomfortable and so i asked what will happen today with ***, and received 11 uc and that day we sat and chatted and did workouts together and there was no resistant feeling, no anxiety, no competition the best word really to describe it was flow. And after that day the studio underwent changes and the owner of that studio left the building and *** moved into a new space. And I went to another studio altogether.
Sometimes the uc readings draws me to read all the lines the image the judgement the trigram, to really drink in the whole thing, i'll read all the translations I have available. And then other times I see it as yi saying something really simple, as simple as the title sometimes, even being the one of the translation you first choose.
let me see if i get it right
You had a draft, and for that draft you got 11. After that you posted, read some other's ideas, you got more emotional to the issue, finally you wrote a final draft and for that final draft you got 22.
Am I right?
It seems like the final draft was more "controversial/fighting" than the original one.
Let me explain myself. For the original one, the effect would be peace/comunication. Good, the effect is that the conflict is solved. But with the final drafting, there is no peace anymore but "grace": good for clearing up affairs but not for deciding controversial issues.
If the issue is "small" (i.e. just a misunderstanding) the letter would solve it. But if there is a real controversy (and it seems there is) the letter wont decide/solve it.
So... from the original to the final draft something changed that prevent a peaceful solution.
Hope you can solve this soon.
In the second draft I included all of that, but told him exactly what he must do (...) I explained what he had to do as well (...)Then I got Hexagram 22 unchanging.
I also like trojan's point about it posing a question of "what are you going to do with it?" or something along those lines - I think that's really interesting actually... Could be it's saying that it's something more fated than a changing result would be and you just have to work around it.
.
If you read the first wing about hexagram 22 and the transition from hex 21 to hex 22 in the ninth wing, you may find a very nice surprise.
Best of luck
I think this is true very often
