Trip on mid april 2018 : Hexagram 40.2.3>62

[Sy123456]

Hi all..Let me share my case please....After 24 years graduation, a gathering of school friends would be held on mid april 2018. At the beginning, i wasn't interested in spending money just to meet friends i wasn't close to. Then some friends offer their hospitalities so my expense can be cut some. At the other side, i want a break from chaotic mind that haunted me last few months.So i plan to go. The place is hundreds kilometers from city i live now. I would go alone, then on the half of journey, a female friend (i am also female) would join me. I'm a bit nervous so I ask Yi how to make it a nice trip. I got hexagram 40.2.3>62Hex 40 is liberation, release, forgiveness. It matches with my desire to take a break from hectic mind. The messages from the changing lines seems so common. It advises to be humble, not be show off to avoid predators/cunning persons, be myself, not pretend to be someone else. Also i have to be selective in making friendship.Line 2 : perseverance brings successLine 3 : perseverance brings humiliationI don't understand what do they mean. Who or what would humiliate me? Who's the cunning person that want to use me?My friend who would join me, wants to extend the trip from 4 days to 6 days. She knows I got "sponsorship" from some persons and i'm suspicious that she expects to gain more by using me. It could bring me a shame. I think she is the one i should be careful with. And I have to fairly handle matters among her, me and my supporters. Maybe it was a fault, telling her the facilities i received from other friends.Hex 62 is small excess. Probably, the money spent could be more than I predict? How about your thought? Would you please share here?Thank you in advance.

Hi
Seems like quite a lot going on, was the question "How do I make a nice trip"

I think the advice in line 2 of which I have cast is the past.
Is basically dont put yourself in a situation where you are vunerable on any level.

I have ignored that advice and regretted it.
It was an internet scam, I had strange feeling then I asked the Yi and was advised to wake up.
I even ignored that because i wanted it to be real and sure enough it was a scam.

Line 3 is kind of like come down to earth, see things for what they are dont put roses around it.
Unless you get a grip on the situation, this could turn into a weakness.

For example if you go on a trip for 6 days and you cant afford it.
Then you need to rely on people around you for money.
You may not be real popular.

This all leads to hexagram 62, which makes me wonder is it all worth it? (small gains)

If it was me I would seriously weigh up my options before taking the trip.
I would be making it clear to people you dont really have the money.
Or you could maybe ask a family member for a loan if you really want to go or something like that.
Being able to afford it will make you a lot more independent on the trip.

According to the lines I would seriously think about the whole trip closely.
Listen to your intuition

PS I think you have done a good job assessing this Hexagram 40 could be well the desire to cut loose but the lines I feel are advising against it OR not under the current circumstances. Trust me many people have gone on holidays they wish they didnt.
Me for one.

Hi steve....I read your thread about hex 40.2.3>62. It was 10 years ago. Did you gave them money? Was it really a scam?I rethink the plan now. Maybe i should stick to initial plan, 4 days trip. I need her to accompany me but shouldn't let her using me or drain my pocket.

Oh you found my old thread and it was exactly the same reading? wow isnt that funny, and I mentioned it in this reading as well ( post me the link and I will update it), goes to show I will always remember it. Yes I did give them the money. Big mistake.

I had just had a break up and it made my mind clouded.

I think that's a good Idea, that you reduce your trip, you can still have a good time. Really you should not over spend on holidays.

So many people do it and when they get home they wish they didn't go over board. To be honest its pretty common. Going on holidays is a bit like starting a business. You really don't know what unexpected expenses can pop out.

I didnt realize its your friend who may rely on you, yes the line does warn to be aware.

Maybe you should ask a few more questions just to completely clarify.

That's a good idea about making the trip shorter, you will have a better time, than having to really stretch yourself. The whole point of a holiday is to relax.

Hi Steve and All....I'd just back from the trip last week. All was fine and there's still some money left in my pocket when i was back home. Very thankful for my generous friends there who host me for days ;DProblems only came from A, one of my friends (the one that's represented by Line 3 on hex). There were some mismatch between us that made me upset and got bad mood, especially on the second half of the trip. Well, actually she'd irritated me before the trip and also right at the beginning of the trip, whether she did it intentionally or not. She's too demanded and burdened my host. What a shame i realized it late and didn't prevent it. Anyway, those are lessons for me to not entangled any more with her.It was a right decision to bring B, another friend (the one that's represented by Line 4 on hex) to anticipate bad moments due to A. It is true that B could be more respected than A. Honestly, I was still open to any possibility for trip's extention when departing, but it turned out that it was not worthed at all for being longer with A. Sticking on the initial plan was pretty correct way in order to prevent more loss from my and my hosts' side.
