Good enough for now, the relating is not the future. It is a factor that is present.We have learned over these years to pay attention to the main hexagram and especially any changing lines.
6.1.2.5 (14)1) What
if we approach the landlord during this period of Mercury in retrograde?
8 is seeking union.2) What if we wait until the retrograde ends to approach the landlord?
Good enough for now, the relating is not the future. It is a factor that is present.
I think I do. In fact, if I understand you correctly, it's just right there and obvious — very possibly my wife and I were overthinking it. Possession in Great Measure, I'm noting the word Great there, not just any measure. I mean, we need the money to be good if we're to go anywhere because that's the sick reality in the world, everything seems near-to or actually preventatively expensive.6.1.2.5 (14)
There is an Argument (6)
about Money (14)
The received hex and the Related hex are both present in the situation. (See this?)
We got that feeling too. Need of a lawyer was never in doubt, actually, but a good one will be necessary, one who won't get snowed and therefore carries a price tag themselves. There was an initial feeling of, Conflict uh-oh, avoid that, Holding Together/Seeking Union sounds "nicer". But that line 5 would appear to shine a light. Obviously many good things or needed changes can only come after conflict.5-But! Somehow it is good to fight this fight.
(With the help of a lawyer?
and you *can* win here.
Line 5 is the line of victory in hex 6)
Very interesting. We have sometimes been struck by the way our changing lines seem to say this, then this, then this. But it is only so sometimes, I think we agree with you that it can't be applied as a rule or even wished for and so planted there. But this kinda looks like an instance. Please if anyone disagrees we'd like to know.A time-line of events.
(This happens sometimes, other times not. Can't apply it as a rule, just one of a few possible types of answers we get)
So, I see the reading as avoiding Contention, or Retreating when it occurs, but still going ahead with it,
And then managing victory.
Okay but our first-love I Ching, though never the only one we consult, is the Wilhelm. There it is Holding Together. That sounds like more of a present action than the future-implied one of Seeing. Care to comment? Of course the Chinese words aren't words as we English speakers/thinkers have the concept, so in a way I'm sure both are true. A list of DeKorne's names for the hexagram:I *do not* believe the 8 means there will be union if you wait, as 8 is not Union, it is Seeking Union. Big difference.
Thank you, Liselle! It's really just the Mercury retrograde thing. It's supposed to be a bad time to get into contracts, so we thought we'd ask both what if we act during it and what if we act after it. In other words, for all we know the retrograde could have a mild effect on us in this one situation compared to our 'adversary', and therefore it could be better to act during retrograde (before October 2nd). It sounds as if you're both saying it is. Of course we're nervous and would welcome any indications to the contrary just to make us confused and worried and afraid, hahaha.I have no idea why waiting would be a bad idea - scale is important in readings, so maybe all it means is there's not any particular reason to wait, so why not get underway now so you can move and get on with your life.
Yes! And one of the beautifully fascinating things about the Yi. Line 1, which is of course the first step, is important. We (through our lawyer) bring it up but do not press, if I understand, there is no forcing the issue but the seed will be planted. Do I understand? Any further illumination on this?Of course it's still important to understand the other two lines, maybe just for understanding, maybe so you can contend better.
Maybe part of it - the "small words" in line 1, for instance - might be that Yi's acknowledging Mercury retrograde but saying it won't have enough effect to ruin things ... might go less smoothly, something like that. Not that it's doomed.
We have a lease that is legally protected. It's a long story but basically if we move out, the next tenant could be given a lease at market rate. It's in their interest for us to leave not just because our rent is far lower than what they would charge the next renters, but because they can (more or less) break the chain of custody of the legally protected lease. It's all crazy, I'm not saying we love that the system is this way, in fact I'd love another poor couple, like us or poorer, to move in here rather than the trust-funder or dot-commer who would have to come next to afford it. There ought to be protections today against rate-jacking; in our case, we're just old enough to have them. And frankly we're old enough that we don't want to fight anymore, we're done. But if we go without a buyout or take far less than is normally 'deserved' in these cases, it'll be the street. We can't let that happen. (I don't know why I'm telling you so much, maybe because it's so nice in here.)And somehow if you break the lease, the landlord pays you to do so? I don't understand that at all. That's the exact opposite of anything I've ever heard of with leases.
