INTERPRETING THE I CHING
It is not possible to interpret most I Ching oracles without practical experience of what occurred after previous predictions had been made. If I receive hex 17 line 5, I know what this means because I have had it many times before and I know that its meaning is consistent. The first time I received this oracle, I followed the traditional text. The second time as well, but this was not successful and led me to misfortune. After that, I changed my interpretation and avoided further problems. See this post for details: A DANGEROUS WOMAN. Hexagram 17: Following, line 5.
I call this, 'verifying a line'. Before you can truly master I Ching, you must verify each line in this way. Personally, I have verified about two-thirds, so I am a two-thirds master!
There are many sites offering electronic predictions, but the advice is almost identical, as all are based on the same traditional text. Where this text is clear and good, they work. Unfortunately, most of the oracles are far from clear and of no practical use, as they merely confuse the consultee.
To anyone who is interested in helping me to 'verify' lines in this manner, I will offer free personal predictions.
