Today's iChing reading 1 changing to 33 - the question I posed was simply "help?"
1. Sunrise
Line 1:
A submerged dragon is of no use.
There is potential, but the time is not ripe. The idea is not yet ready to be carried out.
(The dragon is submerged in it's pond, hibernating. It won't do anything. It is like the sun that hasn't come up yet.)
Line 2:
Seeing a dragon in the field.
It is beneficial to see a senior person.
There is potential (an idea or inspiration) that is becoming manifest, coming to realization. Some form of guidance will be beneficial, like the help of an advisor or mentor, or information from a book.
(The dragon in the field is like the sun that has just come up.)
33. Withdrawal
Withdrawal.
Progressing.
Little benefit in persisting.
Withdrawing from a situation. This is progress. There is little need to keep withdrawed.
