Somewhere or another, on some other thread, Rosada said she saw 30 as 'it depends'. If I've misremembered I hope she will correct me.
Brilliant ! Light bulb moment for me. 30 describes how the fire is dependent on the fuel, so perhaps 30uc can say 'it all depends on caring for the cow, looking after the project, feeding the dream' and so on. It all depends on something ? It isn't a given. Fire won't happen without fuel.
I asked not so long ago if I would continue with an interest I'd been pursuing, can't recall exact question but behind it I was asking if it were worth it I think. 30uc. All depends on what interest I feed what interest I'll carry on with. The cast wasn't saying either;
a. no, this is a waste of time and energy
or
b. wow yes pour more energy in.
I think it was perhaps saying something like 'it all depends'.
30 is light doubled and light is consciousness. Wherever one's consciousness, awareness, attention goes it ignites the subject matter, whatever it is. One could say it ignites, brightens clarifies both subject and matter, even 'matter' in it's solid form....such as a house.
When I used to do boot sales and so on I'd notice if something wasn't selling and move it. I'd noticed when I moved something it would often soon sell. I thought this was to do with me just bringing attention to it. I tried a similar thing when working in a shop recently. If I put things out and they didn't sell after a certain time I'd rearrange the goods and sure enough they would often then sell. However I noticed a weird thing. Sometimes there would be something I was just particularly thinking about moving. I'd have the thought that it hadn't sold and wonder why and then a customer would approach with the thing and buy it. It got to be too specific to just be coincidence. Then I figured maybe when you think about a thing you just loan it a bit of your mind energy, the way the sun loans us it's energy....and this energy makes things more alive, allows synergy, like a spark from a fire.

Every so often I ask the Yi what I most need to learn at the moment. Interestingly I almost always receive an UC hex for the answer to this question. Last night it was 30UC.
I didn't really know how to take it, which is how I ended up here! Looking back through my journal, I've had 30UC a few times over recent months; a couple of weeks ago for 'would it be useful to buy this book' ('illuminating', was my interpretation - I ordered it, but it's yet to arrive); shortly before that I was tying myself in knots (inexplicably) over a bridal shower i'd been invited to but didn't want to go to, and was going to send expensive flowers to the bride-to-be instead. I asked 'should I send these expensive flowers?' 30UC. I didn't send them, although I'd thought that Yi was generally positive. Alternatively it might have been an exhortation to get some clarity on the situation - the situation being that I didn't know if I could afford the expensive flowers but couldn't bring myself to check my bank balance in case it was even lower than I'd imagined. It wasn't. I now realise that both these questions related to the same issue - my worry over whether it was 'ok' and/or necessary for me to buy something.
Back in July I had 30UC for the question 'should I apply for this job' - I did apply, and didn't get the job. Generally I'd received some positive casts around that job and still don't understand why Yi was so positive when I didn't get it. I've now got another job which I think is a much better fit for me and taking me in the right direction, whereas the other job would have been a dead-end or wrong-turn in many respects - or maybe not, who knows?! In any case, I didn't get it. Maybe 30UC meant - i need to get some clarity on what I actually want?
So... I guess the lesson I most need to learn right now is... how to gain clarity?
Reflecting back on these answers, now it seems to me that in each of these cases Yi was striking a match and holding it up over my situation and asking me: 'I don't know! Should you??!' and asking me to reflect fully on the situation at large, illuminated by the match-flame. For my current lesson, I feel I am being asked to reflect on the situation at large - as if meditating on a flame.
According to Wing, 'In an unchanging form, you must concentrate on aligning the many elements in your life into synergetic accord in order to fully comprehend and control them'. In the 'light' (haha) of these reflections, this interpretation now begins to make more sense...
W/B calls 30 "Li/The Clinging, Fire" though and my situation helped me see that what the fire "clings" to as things become clarified is truly a very important aspect of the hexagram. By that I mean my manager chose to cling to lowliness and "burn" me with the fire of his ego which was pretty rough on me that week. So, I guess what I was trying to say was that even if things looked bad, if he'd been a little more compassionate with a good employee (me), the situation could have gone a lot better. Which brings up the randomness of the outcome with a reading like 30uc, kind of depending on the development of the personalities or situation involved.
I think the following quote fits in with the higher potential of what being exposed in the light of 30uc somehow could be like, at least in my experience:
A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities. ~William Arthur Ward
I'm going to take advantage of my CC membership and @hilary to find out how she did get the name 'Clarity' I do think that was a name that has worked well as a 'brand'
Not a reading - I just thought of it. What you might be remembering is that years after choosing it, I looked through readings from long before I'd dreamt of starting any sort of I Ching business. I had zero idea what I was going to do with myself at that point, and was asking about ways of supporting my husband. Then it occurred to me to ask, what if I somehow did my own thing, whatever that might be? And that was answered with Hexagram 30.
Except I'm not sure it was unchanging. (This one is tucked away in a notebook somewhere, from before I could work a computer.)I don't think this has already been included but it should be
Hi Yasmin,30UC is a puzzle to me as well. Here is my current experience of it.
I am thinking of buying a property in a different region, renting it out for awhile, and eventually moving there. I identified a specific area where I would LOVE to live. Every time I walk around that area, which is very green and rolls down gently towards the sea, my heart grows wings and I feel elated. I feel infinite freedom and possibility, liberated. This is how "fired up" I feel about it if that isn't 30ish, I don't know what is! I have been establishing relationships with local estate agents, signaling my interest and budget, researching recent transations etc... And I simply have to wait for something to come on the market. There are many properties, but not necessarily many which fit my budget, so holding out for my dream home is a bit of a gamble. I am prepared to wait at least 6 months, up to 1 year.
Meanwhile, I have been visiting other properties, it would be foolish not explore currently available options. I saw something which is a good property, within my budget, a good investment,and if I don't make a move, it will be gone very fast. It's a good buy, at a pinch I could live in it, but it's not my dream home.

I chose to understand it as "cling to what makes your heart sing, persevere, cultivate your relationships with agents, manage your cash, success". But it could just as easily be an all consuming pipe dream...
Based on this experience so far, I associate 30Uc with a "heart on fire", in a good way in this instance. Time will tell what becomes of it.
Ah! You can ignore the question I just asked you - because here is the answer to it, thank-you!I did get my dream home in the end! I had forgotten about that 30UC. I suppose in hindsight, it was a validation, it meant "yes keep waiting for your dream home, you see the situation clearly". Possibly also "the previous flat was a flash in the pan."
I should add (shamefully) that I decided not to get the above chandelier. It was perfect sized, attractive and would have shed a good light, but I prefer to hold out for a different style. So 30UC meant both "it's a good light fixture" and "but you will change your mind, it's a flash in the pan".
Multilayered readings...
