Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you have ever had a long period of time where you were mostly casting unchanging hexagrams, and if you had any insights later about why that was as a general pattern? I've had months now of mostly casting unchanging hexagrams, and that really stands out as unique compared to the past several years since I first started using the I Ching.

The one thing I can kind of correlate with it is that astrologically, I'm in my Neptune-square-Neptune period, which can sometimes mean a period more of dreaming and/or disillusionment than action. Yet I don't really feel that way any more than usual right now. The other option I'd considered is that the I Ching is trying to tell me that I'm not grounded enough in the things I'm asking about, in terms of unchanging hexagrams sometimes being interpreted as you not fully having a place to stand in the matter. But again, that doesn't seem more true now than any other time in my life, when I think about my particular circumstances - if anything, I'm more fully involved in real-world things now than usual.

If you've ever had a long string of unchanging hexagrams like this, I'd love to hear what you made of it later, or if it made more sense later at all.

Hi

I was thinking about starting a thread like this. I am the same at the moment for around two months I am casting mostly unchanging hexagram. In the past I had real trouble interpreting them. These days I think I prefer it.

I was kind of taking it as a complement as now maybe the Yi thinks I can handle it. As a rule I think its a much more direct answer.

I often find I receive unchanging hexagrams when I really need a simple, direct answer. For instance, if I'm suddenly called on to go into a stressful situation, feel at a loss for how to cope, and grab the beads for some advice to take with me, I'll often get an unchanging hexagram.

So... maybe you are going through a time when you really need simple answers you can take with you?

Or... maybe you are going through a phase of asking more theoretical questions, where you don't have a clear personal stance or intention?

(Come to think of it, that's actually not as different from my first suggestion as it sounds: my 'help, I don't know how to handle this but I have to somehow' readings are also without much intention/ personal direction beyond 'let me not mess up.')

Thats true for me I think, its usually when I am stressing about my business, organisation, money. I actually just received 55 unchanging about where to next.

The threads on unchanging hexagrams have been more than helpful
It is quite weird when you get them cast after cast.

I felt like it was test, learn more but it does feel direct
