I would go as 5.4 is about not waiting in a pit of anxiety, needing to move not keep still just worrying. 5.6 indicates perhaps there are unexpected advantages to going. hex 1 may show the creativeis at work here.


If it is anxiety that stops you going then you need to distance yourself from what causes the anxiety. However if it is the friends party that causes you huge anxiety it could be saying to avoid that i guess.

Whatever it is that worrying you,move on don't get stuck in a pit, go somewhere nicer.

thanks for letting us know
it helps to know whether i am getting
the I Ching right

5 was wait but the lines were cautionary
so yes cautionary

but the strong 1 hexagram screamed action!

wait and think but go out and have a good time?
seems so :)

Does hex 1 scream action to you Hopex ? It doesn't to me.

For example hex 1 unchanging is often pure potential...you need a bitof hex 2 to get actual action.

Kevin highlighted this in Change Circle a few days back. He said he'd learned from...(er someone...Taoist )that we in the west really misunderstood yang as action and yin as non action.

Yang is spirit/heaven /inspiration but Yin is earth/action/manifestation.
You want something doing go to hex 2 ..oh hex 1 will sit about having grand ideas of course but action ??? ! Pffft ;)

I saw the hex 1 as some creative potential, the creative on the move, ie the spirit moving life especially, in 5.6 with those unexpected guests.

Also I didn't see the lines as cautionary really....cos 5.4 is asking you to move not sit still



Anyway I think we got it about 50% right each...it was somewhere between stay and go
