a record of all the questions i've asked the yijing, the answers it gave and what this meant to me (if anything), each post dated at the time of the reading, rather than the time of posting.. xFriday, April 08, 2005
what will be the nature of S's brighton gig?
place: my room in finsbury park
i'd just spoken with S, the mother of my goddaughter, a singer i have done music with who's moved out of london to brighton, she was walking & singing to herself in the rain in brighton and a man stopped her and offered her a gig at a community / refugee awareness night in june... she initially thought someone else could do it then thought about me, and that we could do it, i was a bit sceptical about it, having done community gigs before, they can be great, but they can be really disorganised and rubbish... and so before i went to bed i asked this question:
what will be the nature of S's brighton gig?
and i got this answer:
7 7 8 8 8 6
being hexagram 19 with the 6th moving line giving hexagram 41.
19 Approach
Approach has supreme success.
Perseverance furthers.
When the eighth month comes,
there will be misfortune.
19/6:
Greathearted approach.
Good fortune. No blame.
41 Decrease
Decrease combined with sincerity
brings about supreme good fortune
without blame.
One may be persevering in this.
It furthers one to undertake something.
How is this to be carried out?
One may use two small bowls for the sacrifice.
approach brings success, also the moving line commentary speaks of a sage who has withdrawn from the world who returns to those he once worked with, either i'm the sage returning to work with S, or indeed S is the sage returning to work with music... either way, good fortune. and then decrease, it speaks to me of not having much money, which is probably true of me come june, almost certainly true of S, but likely also true of the community event, sincerity mixed in there as well...
all in all i'm going to do the gig if the circumstances are right... i like the idea of either me or S (or both) being sages returning to the world after a retreat...
