What is the dark side of 50.6?

Eh?

50.6 is like the best line you can get I thought.

I am having trouble focussing on the overwhelmingly long list of things I have to get done in a short period of time. It's usually not this difficult for me to just get stuck in and get done what needs to get done, so I asked - Why am I having so much trouble focusing? - and the answer was 50.6 > 32
‘The vessel has a jade handle
Great good fortune,
Nothing that does not bear fruit.’

? Creating lasting results with solid grip on the situation.

But I didn't ask HOW I can achieve these things - I KNOW that 50.6 is the way to get 32. I asked WHY I feel unable to be 50.6.

This is making No sense to me, hence, here I am - asking for perspective, if you would?

I think you are being reassured you are not doing at all so badly as you think you are and therefore your worries are unfounded. Perhaps you are achieving far far more than you think since 50.6 often indicates solid personal achievement that goes beyond what you now see.

There is no dark side to 50.6 so I think Yi is suggesting your question you perceptions or may even be saying the hindrance you currently experience is a blessing. I also wonder if it's possible you need to do less than you think because the whole situation is actually 'held', it's not going to fall apart.

Maybe the IC is saying is saying that to be able to focus you need to have a handle on things. If you don't feel you have that then that is why you have trouble focusing.

Maybe you should ask "What do I need to know/do to get a handle on this?'

I see 50 as being a big pot of stew with lots of different ingredients. (49. Being about the individual viewpoint - On your own day you are believed! - and then 50. being about all the different view points that go into creating the Universe.) So perhaps to get a handle on this stew you should make out a detailed list of every ingredient, everything you need to do. Making lists seems to help a person focus and often when something is put in writing on a list it starts getting done without further effort - like you put on your list the need to make a phone call and then the person calls you!

That would be pretty perverse of Yi because if that is what it was saying it would have given 50.3 rather than 50.6. If there was a negative reason then that would appear in the answer IMO

A few months ago I had this same answer about an elections matter.
I had asked if political party x would win the majority.
The result was that not only they didn't win the majority - they didn't even get into parliament.

Back then I thought quite a lot about it, and my conclusion was that when only line 6 changes, then the situation has gone far beyond what the 1st hexagram says.

In this case, the situation is far beyond cooking/transforming/changing (50).

You asked:
Why am I having so much trouble focusing?

Perhaps because you feel that, no matter how much you do, you won't manage to effect a real change?
Hence your motivation is not strong?

Hi precision grace

I read 50zhi32 as a seasonal issue plus some amount of anxiety and worries. It also points to the activity of colleagues/competitors affecting your concentration.

In 50, the subject line (the one representing you) is Hai (water); in the current month Yin (wood) water is in a stage of rest. Therefore, it's not openly "bad" nor "weak" but also is not fully effective. That's the seasonal issue: it's just a matter of time. The subject line has Official as it's attached relative; therefore, there are worries and anxiety. The active sixth line is Si (fire) with Sibling (colleagues/competitors) as it's attached relative; Si clashes with Hai; therefore the colleagues/competitors actions affect your concentration.

Hope this situation changes for better soon.

Well that's not a surprise, diamanda. The subject line (representing the political party) is Hai (water), the day when you got the answer was Chou (earth); earth destroys water, therefore the political party was in a stage of dead. Line 6 is Si with Sibling (competitors) relative attached; Si clashes with Hai. The resultant effect is Chen (earth). So, you have a dead subject line under strong attack from competitors and the result is destroying the subject line.

Thanks Sixth Relative, I don't know how to use the method you're using, but it sounds interesting and accurate.

Thank you everyone! I think diamanda was closest with her interpretation - I just don't feel like anything I do really matters. However, I did manage to get most things done in the end, so Trojina was right too - there wasn't really a need to worry in the end.

Thank so much everyone!
