Where should I move to? 29.1.2.4 --> 17

[trueblue]

Hi All,

I just put up another post introducing myself as a new member and asking a question about my love life

I have another question I asked the I Ching this morning and am hoping to get some advice about it. The question is, where should I move to? The I Ching responded with The Abysmal 29.1.2.4 --> 17 Following. I moved to D.C. about 8 months ago and have had a feeling the entire time that I chose the wrong place. I've really given it a chance - have met new people and tried to establish a community - but just can't escape the feeling I'm in the wrong part of the country. Nothing seems to click here for me, even though I've got friends nearby. The city feels hollow and transient to me. (I've lived in many parts of the country and didn't feel this way, so that's why I think it's specific to here). There's a workaholic/happy hour type lifestyle here that doesn't suit me anymore...I used to jive with that kind of vibe but now am realizing I want to pursue more artistic pursuits and work in an environment that challenges me but doesn't stress me out so much I feel overwhelmed.

Any thoughts on the I Ching's advice?

I believe the the direction for 29 is north. However, 29 is very bad for any kind of traveling or moving. Moreover, it is a gua that is dangerous. Now, it might be a characterization of your present situation, and that the moving lines (with the fourth being quite good) may mean that you ought to get yourself out of there either to the East or West. As DC is about as East as you can be, you ought to go West or North. I can't stand DC myself, and I would never live there. 17 is very auspicious for getting away. If you know any good astrologers who do relocations, you should consult one.

Thanks for the interpretation. My gut is that my current situation is what's dangerous (unfulfilling job, city that feels like its actively suppressing my creativity, etc.). I've been considering New York (which is north) or Chicago (which is both north and west).

Is any other possible interpretation of the danger/warning in this reading about moving? Is there any way its telling me not to move yet or something like that? Moving tends to be rough for me, I don't like drastic change, but I also don't want to stay in an environment that isn't suiting me.

In The 36 Stratagems, hexagram 29 is blooms on branches (solid lines branches, broken lines blooms). Hexagram 17 is "Toss brick, get jade." Wait for the Cherry Blossom Festival and Cherry Blast III, and your brick may turn into jade.
