...life can be translucent

Menu

Was my "question" too vague, and is telling me what I already know? 6,6

I have moved 4 times in 5 months, and I am about to move again in a couple of days. Nothing has worked out so far. I have a couple of options where to move next, so I was hoping the i ching would give me some insight or advice about my next move.

I did an online reading, typed "finding a place to live" as my question, and got 6 changing line 6.

CONFLICT. You are sincere
And are being obstructed.
A cautious halt halfway brings good fortune.
Going through to the end brings misfortune.
It furthers one to see the great man.
It does not further one to cross the great water.
6.6
Even if by chance a leather belt is bestowed on one,
By the end of the morning
It will have been snatched away three times.

6,6 leads to 47, "oppression".

Now, could it be that my question did not specify the future, and that the 6,6 is an accurate depiction of how it has been up till now? Because that is pretty spot on, if we're talking about how it has been. Or is it indicating more difficulties ahead?

It must be the day of 6.6 as I just responded to someone else on 6.6 here http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?18041-Sung-top-line&p=184782#post184782



As I said there I wonder if you are barking up the wrong tree,....have a rethink about what it is you are trying to achieve overall. It may be asking you to look at the bigger picture of what your overall quest is here. What goal is making you move all the time....? You might need to rethink that goal

I'm in a foreign country where there is a housing shortage and there is a waiting list for an affordable apartment, which can take years. To save money, I rent a room from someone. First a relative, then a grumpy woman, then I moved in with a boyfriend (disaster, so I temporarily got to stay with a neighbor until Dec 31), now I live in a filthy, disgusting, unhappy home and am anxious to move out. This last one is the worst ever!!

I can move back in with my relative, or, with a man with a room for rent that I just heard about. I was hoping the iching would advise me about my next move, which will take place any day now.

Eventually I want an apartment of my own, but for now, I have to have somewhere to live, right?

6,6 is exactly what I've experienced the past half year. But I wonder if it will continue this way and be more of the same? My question didn't specify the future, but the future is what I am wondering about.

you mean a foreign country from your home country ? Maybe....only maybe, the reading advises you to stop looking to live in this foreign country ? Hexagram 6 comes up when one is arguing with how things are., when you want to make something work that can't work

I don't know your situation.....but whatever it is you are trying perhaps to do something that cannot be done.

or as you say it may just be a plain description of what has happened

Well... if so, I would instinctively say the thing that cannot be achieved, is to live happily renting a room in someone else's home. That would be the message, if so.

I live and work in europe, moved here from the USA.

The whole feel of hex 6 is like this :brickwall:

if you are doing that...in 6.6. you make gains then losses and it can feel like no real progress is being made. Then instead of :brickwall: you have to take a step back to look at the bigger picture of what you are trying to do.

That may call for further questions about your overall aim. For example you are trying to live in Europe for a reason. You may question the reason.

I don't know the situation and I cannot actually tell you what 6.6 specifically means for you here. As you know there is not one meaning for an answer and I can't possibly know all your circumstances I'm just offering ideas for you to consider

If I were you I'd perhaps ask more questions about my overall direction to check I was on track. If you are on track and it is the right thing to stay in the country you are in then 6.6 may just be giving you a picture of your experience.



I don't know....it's for you to apply yourself as you see fit

I'll find out soon how the next living situation goes... I'm moving somewhere move within the next couple of days!

Anyway, since the issue I asked about was specific enough "finding a place to live", and the resulting hexagram was so chillingly accurate description of how it has been, I'm going to take that at face value. Time will tell whether 6,6 applies to the future aspect of "finding a place to live" as well. Maybe I'll frame the question diferently for iching.

Update: 6.6 was accurate prediction. I didn't get the room I wanted to rent, then I had a lot of trouble getting someone to help me move, and the weather was terrible, a lot of arguing, etc.

Dear owlietta,

My experience with 6.6 tells me that if you keep doing things this way you will keep getting the same (bad) results. There is something fundamentally wrong in the way you have been approaching this problem. So if you keep pushing things again in the same direction you will be again in the same (bad) position. Every time that you think that you have got somewhere you are actually back to square one. It is not like the Yi is predicting the future with this reading, it is more like "same action equals same result". Obviously the background is oppression, exhaustion.

That is my experience with this reading. So, I see it as a flashing light that a change of approach is needed.

Hope it helps a bit:bows:
