I'd like to share my recent experience as a small gesture of my appreciation towards this community, although it's not really a pleasant one.
My dad had been sick and was taken to the ER, looking back I didn't know why I asked this question but I asked Yi "How long does my dad have?" I got 10UC. My interpretation at the time was although his condition was tough but he would have gotten through with this and would have been recovered. He passed away two days later.
I agree with you!! I thought I'd like to share my question the next day "can my dad go home?" I got 58.4.5>19. Again, I thought although the situation was dangerous but the relating hex 19 looked positive. Either I completely misinterpreted Yi's message or as you indicated above, when it comes to illness or death, it is beyond our realm.
I asked Yi "How long does my dad have?" I got 10UC. My interpretation at the time was although his condition was tough but he would have gotten through with this and would have been recovered. He passed away two days later.
Also in asking 'how long does he have left' 10 could be showing him treading a very perilous path, it's dangerous, life itself in the balance here in this case
^ this example makes me think of martial arts. to survive danger, becoming extremely present, aware. mistaking hypervigiliance for awareness can led to disaster as its actually that kind of "jittery" distracted energy where a great martial artist can enter the "slow honey" state of no-action within action. resting within movement, etc.I get 10uc quite a lot, and it's been on my mind recently, so I came here to read through. I see so many people here saying they see it as a bad or painful omen, but that hasn't been the case for me, for the most part--or, well, sometimes it has but the 10uc shows me there is some great power at work in the situation. Here is a (much shortened!) list of some of my 10uc casts. The main thing they seem to have in common is that there is some great power or energy involved:
- I've recently developed a little personal meditative technique that when I do it shifts my energy dramatically from its usual jangly jittery buzz around my head and neck to more of a slow-honey feel. I asked yi "what would you call that meditation?" and got 10uc. (This is a sort of Rosetta Stone question, as I think of them--it gives me a point of reference now when I see 10uc)
I came to this thread after casting 10 uc for a "big" question that...well I don't know if it was wise to ask it so casually. It was "do I have what it takes to be an artist"- Twice I got 10uc for things I badly badly wanted to happen, obsessively wanted, made myself sick over, which did not happen. I love what hilary writes about here: "Look to the power and intensity you are drawing into the situation -- its specific danger is there, and also its specific gift." How MUCH I wanted these things does tell me something important I think.
Writing these out I see so many of these examples say "overwhelmed" "powerful" "obsessed" or involve floods of tears! hahahah I guess for some people that might not seem so "good omen" but 10uc in particular does seem to me to move in a different paradigm than good & bad. Even when I don't "get what I want" I get some sense of the power around the question.
