Hello all

I will be taking a large group of students on a 3-day fieldtrip, it is always a huge logistical challenge so I want to make sure I make the right choice. I have two places in mind and for both places I asked: 'What if i go there...?'

The first place is closer and will be less hassle with transport etc..I have taken a trip there once before with a smaller group, I have a contact there who is ok but can be overbearing.
33.3 > 12 (??inauspicious? maybe my contact is being referred to in line 3?)

The second place is the same place I took the students last year and the year before (and my predecessors have been going there since ~1980s) and everything went ok although it is more in the interior ('in the sticks') and more hassle with travel arrangements etc., plus on my last visit the owners of our accommodation there were trying to make large increases on the accommodation costs from the previous year, but I managed to negotiate a moderate increase.
1.1.2.3.4.6 > 8

So many changing lines and all this talk about a dragon – I’m confused, can anyone kindly help please?

33.3 :: good fortune for you, since you are in charge of the group, maybe because the arrangements will be easier. However, it will be exhausting for you, as these things frequently are ...

1.1.2.3.4.6 > 8 The dragon leaping from line to line is very active, no? Hexagram 1 seems good for a field trip. However, there is a warning in line 6 about overdoing things or carrying them too far. It might also signify that you don't have enough helpers to carry out your plans. This hex 1 seems to be questioning your capacity to accomplish the field trip at this location; to bring it off without good assistants, unless I'm mistaken.

Thanks Ginnie for your response. I am a bit of beginner with the IC so I am not in tune with its subtleties. When I initially got the words 'retreat' (33) and 'blocked' (12) automatically assumed it was a 'bad omen'. Could you please help by explaining how if I am in charge there will be good fortune?

Cheers

Well, what you're going on is a retreat. The advice under 33 is to make it as simple for yourself as possible.

Let me quote from the John Blofeld translation regarding 33.3: "... ills and troubles, but there is good fortune in store" for those who are responsible for others. The good fortune comes because one is nurturing the others. This is despite the 12 "disconnect," and that may have to do with that one who is domineering. In other words, with line 33.3, it is a good thing to nurture those going on this field trip and making that your main priority will bring you good luck.
