    1       7       ---------         ---------
 Hexagram number    063 (61)          061 (41)

Interpretation of answer:

Negotiate with care. Keep things simple to help communication. Show respect, be patient & cheerful. Message may need to be repeated many times. You have good vibes & people are drawn to you.

Be careful not to get angry, stay calm & be organized. Have a destination in mind & take the necessary steps to make it happen. No shortcuts!

Ask for advice from experts but be sincere & respectful when you do so.

Things look favourable for a positive outcome if I Ching’s advice is carefully followed.

Good news! The eBook edition is now out-there!

Posted on 2011/03/30 by Michael


The eBook edition is available in all the major eBook formats; ePub, Kindle, Adobe PDF etc.

So far I have tested a production version of the eBook on Amazon’s New Kindle and the kindle apps for the iPhone/iPad and the PC. Overall I am very happy with it.

The layout changes and sequence still work in this format. Go to the table of contents then select the hexagram index. Once you get that far, the method is the same as if you were using the paper copy.

Please see the ‘About’ and ‘How to’ tabs for details.

Michael.

What’s going to happen to my daughter?

Posted on 2011/01/28 by mongi19

Background Info:

Daughter has not been able to get out of a rut – stays home all the time and shows no interested in looking for work and only lukewarm interest in studying though she is very bright. Does not understand the importance of preparing for the future though she may not know at this time exactly what field she’ll go into. There is a tendency to unrealistic thinking and little self discipline. I’m very worried and don’t know how much to push because most of my efforts in the past have been fruitless.
Thank you.

         Hexagram number    037 (44)          077 (1)

Interpretation of answer:

Not really sure. In the face of it:

No 44 – She needs to be curbed and guided to a healthier path.
No. 1 – there is the possibility of success.

Interpretation of answer:

Be careful what and how you do things. Importantly, simplify life plan ahead and stay calm. Be patient and do not show anger or indignation.

It is good to have a destination in mind. He should be sincere and make an effort. Heed this advice and good fortune will follow.

Changing line: My Husband should complete his own obligations before jumping in to help others with theirs. He should carefully consider how much he is willing or able, to take on.

Correct persistence is good but don’t keep asking the same question over and over. Be grateful to the teacher.

Will my son be well balanced?

Posted on 2010/11/13 by author

Background Info:

This is a follow-up from the last question.

           Line   Count   First Hexagram
            6       7       ---------
            5       8       ---   ---
            4       8       ---   ---

            2       7       ---------
            1       8       ---   ---
         Hexagram number    021 (4)
Note: No changing lines, hence no second hexagram.
This is normal it shows that for the moment your situation is stable.

Interpretation of answer:

You have asked your question now stop asking more about your son. When seeking guidance from my Son’s Teacher, be concise and ask my questions once or I will insult and anger the teacher!

Will my child will grow up to be a bully?

Posted on 2010/11/13 by author

Background Info:

Phone call from teacher, child scratched another boy.

            6       6       --- X ---         ---------

         Hexagram number    010 (15)          023 (59)

Interpretation of answer:

Address the situation; focus on the present situation and not what will happen in the future. Use this situation as a teaching experience.

Don’t be hasty & rush to resolve the situation it was dealt with already, let sleeping dogs lie. Ask for help on how to address this with my son.

In the future should this happen again if I were to use a bold approach it will work out in my favour but this solution may cause some grief.
