Hi everyone,

I'm in doubt about taking a certain action to get help with a situation. The answers I got seem contradictory....

I asked, and the IC anwered:

a) What are the possibilities of this situation resolving itself as things are now?

37 unchanging

b) What will happen if I take action to get help?

17.3>49

c) What can I do to resolve this situation?

55.1.3>16

d) What do I need to know about how to handle this situation?

61.3.6>5

What do you think?

Many thanks!

Hi Owl,
you present a couple of Hexs. I am no Yi wizzard anyway here is what i get from hex 37 and hex 55.1.3.

Your situation seems tricky to me. If you withdraw, doing nothing you might cause misunderstandings on the long run (hex 38, obstruction, is the next hex). hex 55.3 indicates waiting is best as you can not do anything about it anyway. On the other hand hex 55.1 likes to clarify something. The line´s ruler (When a man meets his destined -> ruler) is line 4 which wants to move. It is fortunate if line 1 + 4 work together in equal measure for an entire cycle of time ... during the period of abundance. But this will not last long.The lines are essentially not in accordance.

To me this feels like you have to act with caution. If you seek someones help don´t stick to this person... don´t get fired up.

Somehow i have the feeling i did write a lot of rubbish :( though this is what the hex and lines tell me - good luck anyway!

Hi Lilly,

About the situation resolving itself, hexagram 37, I found interesting your point about 37 meaning doing nothing may bring misunderstandings in the long run as 38 is the next hexagram. I felt it to be something like, there’s a family commitment here (the situation is within my family) and it will be resolved due to this commitment, in a minimum scale, just because there is a commitment, which does come together with your view of 37 in the long run becoming 38…

About what I can do to resolve this situation, hexagram 55.1.3>16, it’s not very clear…I got the idea from line 1 that if I get someone’s help I should stick with this followed by line 3 which says that I can’t act right now, meaning it’s better not to get help to begin with. I didn’t get the point about lines 1+4 working together you gave but overall my feel of it seems like yours, which means I’m stuck!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.:bows:

Hi Owl,

line 55.3 indicates waiting is best as you can not do anything about it anyway.
So line 55.1 is left. This line indicates you want to clarify something. Metaphorically speaking, if you seek help, line 4 will or can - but this person has not the same goal. (The lines are essentially not in accordance.) F. e. you visit a lawyer to set up a contract between you and your cousin on paying back money you borrowed your cousin - then the lawyer (line 4) is not interested in your family business on the long run.

Hex 55.1 changes to hex 62 (Preponderance of the Small) the image is the one of a bird:
The flying bird brings the message:
It is not well to strive upward,
It is well to remain below.
Great good fortune.
And again an indication a situation has to be handled with great care.

Hex 55.3 would turn into hex 51 (The Arousing, Thunder)
Hex 51´s core meaning is to overcome dread. Hex 51 originates from Hex 19 (Approach) - some Yi wiz say.
Hex 19 is linked with the twelfth month (January-February). This hex looks nice but it is an image of things piling up too thus Thunder arises.

If i had to make a choice by those 2 hex, i would rather start clearing up the situation even though it might cause fear.
If you hope the situation would resolve itself by doing nothing than you have to handle all with great care and on the long run it might cause misunderstandings. From my personal observation there are 3 crucial situation within families:
  • longtime caring for a sick family member
  • lending money / all assurances in terms of you-get-the-house-cat-car-diamonds-etc
  • inheriting

Well, hope somebody else add her/his intuitive ideas ..

However, it would be great if you let me know if this was of any help to you. Good luck!

Hmmm.........

37 - usually I find that unchanging hex's throw the answer back on your self -so in this case it could mean something like find your internal sense of"family" those different aspects of you that need harmony and acceptance of boundaries and security. Family = close relations but no context no info so don't really know. Or alternatively unchanging hex's for me can be like a statement or imperative. That's how I see them play out like two grammatical forms:reflexive or imperative.

17.3>49 seeking help wold be a "mature" thing to do - forsaking the childish aspects will motivate change and in what is a time of transformation help you to pursue the right path and find your place. It is time to get a little mature and serious about things - you need persistence.

55.1 has or is linking you with a person or situation that is/was good but it has its limits both in time and space. But it is the right thing to do for a while so maybe take some time out with it or perhaps you did that already - who knows without a context?

55.3 reflects confusion and clouding of the issue and you lose something you need or have relied on for a while but the Y says that is not a mistake. It's a dark moment of eclipse but either way 55 says this is it - it isn't going to get any darker or brighter than it has been.

In this the 16 could be anything from aspirations to illusions to ..... it is too vague to say much without more background to the questions. The Y is not a slot machine that issues set answers for the price of a hex!! Either way 55>16 signals a profusion of energy in this situation that seems to be causing confusion.

What you need to know is the inner truth of waiting!
61.3 which is pretty unstable and up and down - one minute happy as Larry next down in the dumps -
61.6 and you can't exclaim or talk or will the changes - the sun rises because it rises not because we urge it to.

Sounds like you or the situation is all over the place and hex 5 advises waiting calmly for whatever it is that is motivating the transformations but really this is just a stab in the dark because there is nothing to bounce the hexes off - no context or information.

Also what do you think they mean? - what do they mean to you? - it is important to engage with your own readings.

But whatever is the deal for sure there's lots of changes afoot and a plethora of confusing unstable energy about but whether that is internal, external, or upside down only you can know 'cos we have no context. So really my response is very vague an woolly - sorry.
