And so, after some thinking I took black milk's advice and reframed the question, asking: What will happen if I move to 'X' town next year? The divination was 22.2 changing to 26.

All welcome to comment.

Maybe I-Ching is telling you to postbone the decision and instead to trim your beard a bit --> take some time for being nice to yourself instead of thinking so much about it right now?

Well, that's what the line is about.
Adorning his beard.
Seeming respectable/mature.

22 is about an image, adorning, polishing, showing, seeming.

26 is about Taming the great, a Mature man.

An example of 22.2 is wearing a suit (to a funeral or job interview) instead of wearing a graphic t-shirt with an image of your favorite band.

I don't know the specifics of your situation, why don't you tell us how it would apply. (are you living with family or roomates now? would you be living on your own if you move?)

Thanks Moss Elk. My reading is a follow on from one of my previous posts where I asked a question about moving. Black Milk suggested I asked it in a slightly different way. Which I have done here in this post. You may like to check out my previous post therefore.

It has been interesting hearing the interpretations from you, and Black Milk and others. In posting the reading, I had already formed my own interpretation. So it was interesting to hear what other members made of 22.2 changing to 26. In your last post, I think 22.2 (wearing a suit as against a T Shirt) could refer to the fact that I would (or could be) moving from working for the small company to the big company. It would mean better work, better profits and a rise in status therefore. Moss Elk's addition (trim your beard a bit) I think is contemplating. Or not to worry further right now. Almost saying you have already thought about this, and worked it all out but now you need to relax a bit - until the right time. I am just responding to the above here for now.

In the next few weeks I'll post what I took the meaning to be. To see what everyone thinks of my interpretation.

When I was first starting out I had the idea that it was very important to get into the right classes because then I'd connect with inspired teachers who would explain what life was all about and would give me clear instructions so I too could become a wise knowing sage. As it turned out, I did get promoted and got into the classes led by these faculty super stars. To my great disappointment however, my experience turned out to be quite different from what I had anticipated. Both of the teachers were nice people but they were obviously burned out and they pretty much turned over the class over to "group discussion." So every day kids shared what they knew and often it wasn't very much. Still I came away with an adequate understanding of the subjects we were supposed to be studying so it was no great tragedy. Years later I consulted the I Ching asking just what that had been all about. I remember I got this hexagram 22.2 about trimming the beard and then hexagram 26 with it's image of wise men exchanging stories. This said to me that I had gotten all gussied up to study with the wise guru (22.2) but it turned out there are no gurus - just other people like me willing to share what their experiences (image 26) and also that there was no way to leap frog ahead in life, skip lessons or slip by with a pretty face - where ever you go, you take yourself there.
If this has any thing in common with your question about moving I think you are being advised that while the new town may be a bit fancier you'll still be connecting with the same sort of people, experiences, spiritual lessons you're having where you are right now.

Thanks rosada. That is spot on. I'm not moving to get a fancier place though. Just to reduce my mortgage and to work a break cause in my contract, whilst moving from the small company (agency) to work for the big company direct. It is true that I will still be connecting with the same people and therefore will have access to the same source of income (work).
