Why am I so unhappy?
56.3 to 35


The casting suggests that you are unhappy because your life is unsettled. Your expectations have not matured. The line text suggests that you have taken loses, but the resulting hexagram is auspicious that your future will be brighter when your good qualities show.

Background- 35: It sounds like you may have been through a time when things/personal affairs/relationships with people/ work - (you will know how to fill in this blank) have been going very well, and you have consequently had a lot of energy.

56: Perhaps as a result of this good fortune and a desire to be of service you moved into a situation that was a little more than you can manage on an every-day basis. Perhaps you have been feeling uncomfortable in this newer situation and somewhere deep down you know it is time to move on.

(Although this situation appears not to be your fault you may still feel disappointed with the situation or with yourself.)

line 3 may indicate that the supports that were in place which allowed you to get this far have disappeared. This support may be another person who has helped you along, or a situation that has changed and no longer supports your engagement in this enterprise, or something similar. It could also refer to an internal change, coming off of a medication that was helping or coming up against an experience that changed your attitude are examples of internal things that come to mind.

This is the story that the reading suggests to me- I have no idea whether or not it is on target.

You did not ask what to do, or how to feel better. Perhaps that could be your next question?

I agree my life is unsettled and has got to a point where I feel stuck. I don't know what to do or which way to turn. Yes I agree Rinda maybe I asked the wrong question - I should have asked how to feel better or what to do next.

In 56.3 one can attempt too much and burn out. This has been likened to building a big fire in a small hearth and burning the inn down. I'm wondering if you are trying to establish some kind of security too quickly. You need to bear in mind you are passing through this situation...this is the hexagram of the travelling stranger. There is no need to try too hard make permanent arrangements at this time but rather keep small and adaptable to what comes your way...and keep it light. If you are on your way somewhere you don't want to be carrying big heavy bags and preoccupations about permanence.

If you are anxious it may be you are expecting far too much of yourself or the situation and you know that deep down. Perhaps it would help to ask less of yourself and to try to remember whatever situation you are in you are passing through. Travellers don't have the time or energy to get bogged down in local disputes or problems...they know they will be moving on. So maybe don't get too embroiled in current things going on around you. be aware you are on a journey...you haven't reached your destination.


I was watching a film based in India and the character kept repeating his family motto which was

"Everything will be alright in the end
If it isn't alright then it isn't the end'.

Something like that....ah here it is


“Everything will be all right in the end. So if it is not all
right, it is not yet the end.”

I think that is a good thing to bear in mind if you are not happy.

The 26.6 you had in another thread also suggests you are on your way somewhere
