I'm onymous because I'm not anonymous -- some of you know my name. I'm Chironymous because I've taken the role and name of Chiron, the archetypal Wounded Healer and a fellow centaur (being that I am a Sagittarius). I wish to help others, and your positivity helps to treat my wounds.
I will gradually read everyone I can, posting back anywhere from 20 minutes later to by day's end, so check back. I just need cheering up* and as much of the following as you're comfortable giving me:

I just don't want to see her suffer, if I could change places with her, I'd do so in a heart beat. If she passes away, all I want to do is join her, I don't belong here.
>>17398709
It's unfortunately not a choice/trade we get to make. And it's definitely understandable to feel that way about wanting to join her or like you won't belong here without her as part of grief. I spent a lot of time on the phone with grief counselors myself last week and found it to be helpful, then ended up here trying to help people in order to distract myself and otherwise deal with my own losses, guilt, and suffering. In people's responses to this I've found a lot of positivity that I didn't know was there.

Hello! Sure!
Your reading first revealed the words "Gentle Restraint". Next, it included this text:
No matter what you do, the fruit of your labors never seems to ripen.
Your reward remains just out of reach.
Men have gone mad from such anticipation.
Don't lose your balance lunging for the brass ring.
While the Fates continue to restrain you, go them one better and display a self-generated restraint and grace.
Look for the humor in the situation.
Most relevantly, it continued with this text:
He turns back to his proper course.
No harm done.
In fact, good fortune comes of this return.
This all culminates in:
Transformed Hexagram:
57 - Fifty-Seven
Sun / The Penetrating Wind
Wind follows upon wind, wandering the earth, penetrating gently but persistently:
The Superior Person expands his influence by reaffirming his decisions and carrying out his promises.
Small, persistent, focused effort brings success.
Seek advice from someone you respect.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance.
Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident.
Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation.
Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation.
All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent.
Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.

“The future is so bright – at times I feel the need to cover my eyes with my hands for fear of being blinded. But, as quickly as I can cover them, something will tear them away, and I’m forced to momentarily gaze into the explosion. What I see is almost too much to bare – I see the absolute truth. That there is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing that can hurt me or anyone else. That my place in this room is the same as my place in the universe. That these things are not to be looked down upon, but to be looked up to. And suddenly, all that ever once was is not any more. And all the stuff that I was worried about is no longer upsetting, and all the things that I was afraid of seem safe and warm. The truth has everything inside of it – EVERYTHING. And it is O.K. and it is good.
>>17398801
"I will work everyday to feel O.K. To truly feel O.K. is to accept everything as such and that you have a place inside of it all. And that place is a miracle, not something small. We can do so much, so easily, so fast. We have so much power, and so much ability. Human beings are one of the greatest achievements in the history of the world. We are our own achievement. So many people have dedicated their lives to working for our benefit. So many things that we have now came from people before us. We owe to them to make the most of our times now.
>>17398805
"We can create things of such beauty and magnificent dimensions, and we have the potential to destroy and tear down and deplete as well. This is so simple and so clear. The future holds everything. In my life I want to feel as good as possible and help as many people as I can to feel the same. I want to do everything and I want to help as many people do everything too. Everyone is invited. No one is turned away here. This music is about freedom and this music is much bigger than just me. I don’t own it – I couldn’t try to keep it all to myself even if I wanted to. It belongs to human beings. It belongs to you. The music is perfect. All it wants is for people to be happy. It doesn’t even exist except as a moment of time. The more you believe in it, the stronger it gets and the stronger you get. The music is your best friend, and it will never turn its back on you or let you down. It loves you unconditionally and thinks that you’re great. It wants to do whatever it can to make you smile and feel good. You can do no wrong. There is nothing you could ever do or say or feel or think that would make it leave you. It will always be there for you – from the first time that you hear it to the last time before you die. In the morning when you wake up, and right before you go to sleep. And it will visit you in the dark, in your dreams and it will make you’re happiest wishes come true, and in your nightmares it will protect you and fight for you and keep you safe.
>>17398808
"The only thing happening here is acceptance and excitement. This is real and true. It is the truth. I will work everyday, and be patient, and have endurance, so that I can give to others what has been given to me. It is not instant. It will take time, and when I’m dead it will continue on without me. This is not mine alone, and I did not begin it. It was begun when the first baby smiled and it will NEVER END. NO ONE CAN STOP THIS – this is still just the beginning. The start of the beginning. This has never happened before. We have never happened before. You have never happened before. There are new horizons and new frontiers that belong to us. These are our trails to blaze. THIS IS OUR TIME. I LOVE YOU.”

Um... The philosopher Nietzsche once wrote that laughter is what causes humanity to move forward. Another man once said that if one can laugh at oneself then they shall forever be amused. Whenever sadness enters your life it is smart to allow yourself to be sad, but as the feeling happens you must look back and at the foolishness of past action or ignorance and laugh. Recognize what once failed, laugh, and in laughing allow yourself to move on. Hell, sometimes the solution is easier recognizable after a good laugh. Laugh to admit the past mistakes and keep them in the past where they belong.
So uh... was... was any of the above friendly, cheerful, helpful, upbeat, encouraging, caring, positive, or the like? Because if not I could just say kittens. Kittens are pretty nice, especially when they're fluffy... Cute tiny meows and whatnot. Oh, pic related is also cheerful or happy! Remember, always add sprinkles cuz you're worth it.

You (Significator): King of Swords
Pros / Cons: The Moon / 9 of Pentacles (Reversed)
What to Expect: 2 of Pentacles (Reversed)
Challenges / How to Overcome: King of Cups (Reversed) / The Lovers (Reversed)
Projected Outcome: Strength
The Moon signifies your latent potential you should tap upon in your endeavour: your intuition, which shall develop over time as you do readings. With the two reversed pentacles (9 of Pentacles, and 2 of Pentacles) in this spread, I’d suggest not investing too much time in learning the tarot or reading as this may cause some imbalance in your life. Balance and management of time is key here, and it seems that some financial quirks are indicated here, so don't blow your dosh on a pretty deck you can't really afford.
Now, as far as the challenges goes: it’s all pointing to your internal emotions and behaviour. With some readings you do or some cards you draw, you may be inclined to doubt yourself over the accuracy or interpretation of it. It seems that, with The Moon in this spread, you’ve got a solid foundation to build upon, in which you should draw from: when doubts are in place, shut out external voices and follow your honed intuition which shall lead you away from stray.
The projected outcome in here is the Strength, which I don’t think requires additional interpretation.
Pretty straightforward spread-- you're in a very good position to start with a solid foundation to build upon; keep going, mate.
>>17399019
Thanks anon. The reading sums up my thoughts on the endeavour too

Well that's ominous/coincidental. Thanks!
As for temperament, he is literally a basket case. He will run and attack any dog he can (his like a fish on a line) but the moment he nips them, he realises he dun messed up and comes fleeing back to me going "sorry sorry sorry MAAAAATTTT SAVE ME I DINDU NUFFIN"
He's a funny one that dog, but I wouldn't change him <3 just a shame he's so antisocial with other dogs

Thank you to everyone in the last thread who prayed for my friend. I heard back from her right after I finished doing readings last night, so I at least know she's still alive.
I'm doing another round. Pray for her, send good energy, do whatever it is you do, but try to help in some way, and I'll read for you.

How will my current creative projects progress in the next few months? Is there any advice as to how to deal with them?
>>17399465
Person who told you about the sigil here from last night. Funny you mentioned the phrase being "heal ___" as that's exactly what I was able to sense.
My question to you would be why perform a field of magic you're not proficient in for something important? As an idle curiosity.
Anyway, on to the magic, always my favorite part. You are wanting to save this woman, or at the very least make her remaining time / passing more pleasant. What are you prepared to give? Pain? Blood?
The most effective thing I could think of, which would be doubly beneficial in this case, would be thus: if you wish to hold on to this, you must let go of something else. An idea that didn't work. Someone you used to want but something happened. Something from your past that you value, even though you know it's time to let go.
To counter this despair, you must fight it with acceptance, a resignation to balance the fight you're attempting. He who chases two hares catches neither, etc.

That's funny, I'm getting something about distance between the two of you, and that distance might cause difficulty to ensue. If this is something you'd like to pursue, I would suggest that it behoove you to hold on a bit to the things that want to come out: you've a propensity to shout when push comes to shove, and thereby is your love threatened a bit.
As far as how he deals with it, there needs to be open-mindedness. Something about you doesn't inspire as much confidence in him as you'd like it to, and it might thereby some obstacle construe.
How, precisely, would you think it might come to you if two hearts were joined, but they could never coin the right word? It would be to me understood that something here might require some struggling, but the fates heralding the marital bells won't be ringing.
Sorry, too far? Anyway, I sense a bad start here. Something about you two just makes it clear that something long-term won't come to steer.
Bad cards here; sorry, dear.

Hah. Things might seem bad right about now, lad, but you can push through this slump of yours, I think. I would say you're on the bring of breaking through, but you lack energy because of a lack of someone supportive to you. Maybe find a good friend to help stave off some of the feels that are damaging your progress a bit?
Back to your project, I see something circumspect in terms of inspiration to spew something a bit more helpful to you. There's a paucity of motion I feel, and it seems that you'll get the better end of the deal if you start putting a few more points into second-guessing. It might seem a counter-productive thing, but protruding towards the thoughts you might want to shut off might help you in a way. See, there's actually some self-examination that would help you make your way, and I would be quite inclined to say that sullen consideration might work out better for your than you might otherwise think it too.
Feel stuck? Well, friend, your thoughts and secret strength might come to buck profitably if only you would be able to see that the answers you seek are already there in considering some actions from before.
But I see something good for you in store: The Emperor at the end says that a good outcome shall come to wend itself to you. Taking control! Friend, it's a good way to stroll through the chaos and fog if you would not be convinced to stop. Cool, keep going, you've got this.
Best of luck to you, and I hope I've read true.

>>17399569
Thank you very much. This is a very interesting reading and gives me a lot to think about.
Hoping things go well for you also.
>>17399521
I see those cards as different in some key areas.
>not to second guess your reading, but I enjoy reading other readings to learn how others read.
I agree with the distance, as the hermit is fairly straight-forward here. But the 10 of swords reverse usually means growth, or regeneration, does it not?
So here a hermit against and a R10S would indicate a prior emotional wound, one that this relationship is perhaps already working on healing... or perhaps it's a stupidly straight-forward interpretation of there's literal distance serving as the main problem.
Her four of pentacles taking the meaning of 'if you don't hold onto something, can you be surprised if it slips away?"
So, not different here, but perhaps an extra dimension to it. After all, if a person doesn't let another know they likes them, it's not so difficult to imagine that he may not be confident.
As for the happiness potential, there are so many ways to interpret a reversed high priestess, such as a person who doesn't have any faith or belief in herself, etc.
When it comes to "negative" outcome type cards, I see these as things to work on, instead of things that are, if that makes sense.
>>17399553
I'm the anon that posted the magic trade off thing. I post about other things, but whenever it's involving magic there's always a post or two as such. Perhaps its my wording choice, I tend to embellish a bit on the subject.
>>17399511
>dubs of completion
>why perform a field of magic you're not proficient in for something important?
I'm a shitty healer. I am a shitty and terrible healer, but I'm desperate.
>What are you prepared to give? Pain? Blood?
Wewlad, if only you knew. Blood and pain I've already given on multiple occasions, mine and that of others.
>if you wish to hold on to this, you must let go of something else
I have many things I am holding that I could feasibly discard
>Someone you used to want but something happened. Something from your past that you value, even though you know it's time to let go.
While this is quite accurate and applicable, it's not the hardest bet to make on me, as there are multiple people and multiple things
>To counter this despair, you must fight it with acceptance, a resignation to balance the fight you're attempting.
I shall keep this in mind.

My style is weird. I look at the spread and see common themes, then I zone out and let the story come to me, then I explain it in pieces. Some of the insights you provide seem very reasonable, though, and they perhaps fill in some gaps I've left in my reading.
>Her four of pentacles taking the meaning of 'if you don't hold onto something, can you be surprised if it slips away?"
Well-put, and that is likely more accurate than the way I took it. I obsessed over that 7 of Cups in his position as sort of looking at fantasy things and needing to believe in fairytale endings and such. I latched on to the idea of him having to be a little silly about things, so I got the idea there was something he doesn't like, and maybe he just needs to accept it and do the whole fairtytale thing, like I said.
As far as the High Priestess, I connected back with the Hermit and that distance, but I was thinking of distance of thoughts and mentality. Seeing the High Priestess in reverse made me think that the unconscious thoughts would not really align correctly or maybe just failure in communication or understanding. The happiness potential is contingent upon ignoring something inside in a way.

Fuck yes! Fuck yes, anon, this is a great reading! I'm actually really excited about how awesome this is, because I might know the feeling, and somehow you're reeling, but the universe isn't being completely shitty.
Literally, the universe is fucking with you because it is /forcing/ you to grow and prosper. Things suck, right? You've been screwed over more than one time? Lad, it's alright. Diamonds are born under pressure, and trees become stronger by contrary wind. This is why the universe is doing it.
Look at the obstacle the universe is presenting you: Ace of Wands means that you're challenged to start on something new and powerful and wonderful, but you're being challenged to find little holes in the wall where you can stick your presence to call upon something good too ensue, and it shall turn out quite well for you if you use your insight and intuition correctly!
Good anon, I know it feels shitty, but you'll be better if you're willing to depend on the light that shines through the darkest night even if it feels like it can provide little light. A candle I see, and it's flickering incessantly, even if it might not be lighting sufficiently: it lights where light needs to be.

>>17399714
Haha
>>17399799
(cont.)
Get it, homie? These little things that seem insufficient, and maybe you're thinking “fuck it, they help nothing all!” Friend, those are the best advantages upon which you can call, and they appear obvious only when you fall low enough to grasp at them with tired and futile hand that might otherwise reprimand you when little else comes to construe!
Friend, there are forces looking out for you. Those constant beatings you face are actually preparing you to embrace something bigger than you have now. You might call the little support you have not enow, but consider something of seeing a bit more than what you're weening, for knowing and seeing are a bit more divorced than it might seem.
Buddy, this all looks good to me. Hold onto the little things, those things that maybe your pride and self-esteem might keep you from reaching, for they shall be that candle flickering and that poor light that is lighting your way through the dark night. You'll know a good result from the fight when you have that insight, FINALLY.
You see, there is an epiphany...and epiphany lies at the end of the road you currently wend, and it will hit you like a sledgehammer against a brick wall, and you'll suddenly realize why all of this happened to you.
You're good, friend, you just need a little bit of repositioning, and the universe is doing that for you. I hope I've read true and been of some help to you.

My young friend, let's now contend upon a meeting with a lass that will be pleasing to your kind ass!
I see a girl with light hair with the most blank of stares! A bit confused she actually seems when you finally get to the task of talking to her. It feels like a blur when the idle words come and go, but some of those words stick by her, you know, even if you feel that nothing lands when you throw.
Difficult difficult girl...it might be a bit hard to take when you unfurl in a manner most positively, but she might not be quite as unwilling as you might think her to be. But yet, some words might be manifesting a secret desire in her. Friend, you'll think that you reach no suitable end because she seems completely unwilling to consider at all the words that you're dealing. Some game you might drop, and you might be inclined to stop because your failure might cause you to be reeling and suffering.
But she digs it, actually. Look for the blonde girl who is confused when you drop some game, dude.
Best of luck to you.

Anon, if I've ever seen a “this could be better” spread before, it's this one. These thing could be much better done if you think about this more romantically. You see, there's thing thing about lack of permanency, and somehow the whole home life thing isn't quite bursting right now as it should.
Nevertheless, I have it understood that good thought can come to creeping towards you upon good planning. Good thoughts, considered maturely, will be eventually upon some good dealings. Now, it seems to me that good things won't come easily. You want a long-term dealing, but it won't come to you too freely. He'll have to ignore the thing that's bothering him, it seems, and you have to keep doing the 10/10 girlfriend thing.
Do you want this to lead to something? Be romantic. Be stupidly and exceedingly romantic, I'd say, and you'll find yourself better set upon your way. You two could legit get m...nevermind, but you two could happy if only you do this thing. The attachment, though, is unhealthy. You're set upon a superior thing, but somehow it won't too well bring what you are so strongly craving.
You can change this, though. Do your thing and flow towards your man. Do what you can, and you two might be an item about which someone might brag.
Best of luck to you, and I hope I've read true.

>>17400426

Yes, they change over time. Some people who are particularly "awake" or the opposite, repressed/skeptical, have a strong animal that stays for a long time. Other people who are more wishy-washy might be only loosely tied to an animal, and change frequently. In my experience. I have absolutely no real background with spirit animals, I've been able to read auras forever and a little bit before I learned to scry, I learned to perceive "auras over time" (like a lingering imprint) as animals
I'm pretty sure it was me who told you housefly
>>17399400
The reading is unclear to me. Perhaps the results will be more meaningful to you, being the only one who knows the exact details of your situation:
Cast Hexagram:
49 - Forty-Nine
Ko / Revolution
Fire ignites within the Lake, defying conditions that would deny it birth or survival:
The Superior Person reads the Signs of the Times and makes the Season apparent to all.
The support you need will come only after the deed is done.
Renewed forces, however, will provide fresh energy for exceptional progress.
Persevere.
All differences vanish.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
A revolutionary Change must be made forcibly.
There is no negotiating with the Established Order.
Perfect timing is essential.
Let the abuse of power become apparent and oppressive to those around you before making your move.
Lay the groundwork, sow the seeds for Revolution without tipping your hand prematurely.
You will need a strong foundation, because you will have to bring about this necessary change alone.
You cannot count on popular support, so you must wait until there is massive dissent.
Then the avenue for your assault will be cleared.
Your honor is redeemed.
All impediments fall away and the path ahead is clear.
Transformed Hexagram:
63 - Sixty-Three
Chi Chi / Aftermath
Boiling Water over open Flame, one might extinguish The other:
The Superior Person takes a 360 degree view of the situation and prepares for any contingency.
Success in small matters if you stay on course.
Early good fortune can end in disorder.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Victory at the expense of another is a merciless taskmaster.
The precarious balance here is reflected in the lines of the hexagram: each of the yin lines rests upon a strong yang line -- a seemingly perfect arrangement.
But the scales will be tipped with the change of any one line.
And there WILL be change.
Tireless vigilance and an answer to every challenge -- that is the uneasy Seat of Power occupied by the conqueror.

The first part of you reading reveals the hexagram for "Attraction"! An auspicious start to a love reading, but let's see where it goes... We must remember that it is a powerful force either way things go...
Attraction powers the atoms and the structure of the Cosmos.
It is Attraction that fuels procreation and furthers our species.
Yet it is also Attraction that spawns greed and covetousness, threatening our extinction.
Attraction is the underlying force of the situation in question.
You are refined or debased by the objects of your desire.
What gravitational pull are you now under?
Around what sphere of influence do you circle?
Can you use your own ability to attract?
BEWARE OF:
A wagging tongue and working jaws.
All sound and fury signifying nothing.
This CRUCIAL ELEMENT could result in:
Transformed Hexagram:
54 - Fifty-Four
Kuei Mei / A Loveless Marriage
The Thunderstorm inseminates the swelling Lake, then moves on where the Lake cannot follow:
The Superior Person views passing trials in the light of Eternal Truths.
Any action will prove unfortunate.
Nothing furthers.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is at best a Marriage of Convenience.
You have found yourself in desperate straits, a position of weakness, and you are tempted to pay dearly for a remedy.
A drowning man isn't picky about who throws him a rope.
The rescue offered to you now is undesirable.
It may pull you out of this sticky situation, but it will cause even greater predicaments down the road.
Don't obligate yourself in this way.
You are selling your future for a quick fix today.
>>17400484

A general reading please
>>17400506
The first part of your reading is the hexagram for "Compulsion"! A strong, addictive temptation, much more dangerous than it seems!
"You are ignoring a clear and present danger to your well-being.
If this threat emanated from a heavy-handed oppressor, you would see it coming.
But this danger comes to you in the form of a seduction, an amusement, a diversion, an indulgence that is eating away at the fiber of your secure little world.
You are too cocksure.
You underestimate the tribute this dalliance will demand."
The next part of your reading:
"No fish for guests; none even for yourself.
Misfortune."
If you can avoid these fates, the final part of your reading reveals:
Transformed Hexagram:
57 - Fifty-Seven
Sun / The Penetrating Wind
Wind follows upon wind, wandering the earth, penetrating gently but persistently:
The Superior Person expands his influence by reaffirming his decisions and carrying out his promises.
Small, persistent, focused effort brings success.
Seek advice from someone you respect.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance.
Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident.
Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation.
Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation.
All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent.
Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.
>>17400491
Damn, this situation analysis made me wonder of what path it is talking about... So many questions and thoughts...

>>17400527
Not sure if this helps but it seems to me that the key to persuasion is honest intention. Properly communicating your intentions and desires in a way that is not demanding or insecure usually brings favorable results in life.

>>17400544
The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "The Caldron"! An auspicious start to your reading! Let's expand upon it and then see where it goes...
The Caldron
Fire rises hot and bright from the Wood beneath the sacrificial caldron:
The Superior Person positions himself correctly within the flow of Cosmic forces.
Supreme Accomplishment.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos.
Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law.
Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao.
You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.
The next part of your reading is makes this even more positive:
The caldron you cook in has yellow handles and golden carrying rings.
Good fortune if you keep to this course.
Much, positivity, but also an equal element of PERIL!
BEWARE OF BEING AT...
Critical Mass
The Flood rises above the tallest Tree:
Amidst a rising tide of human folly, the Superior Person retires to higher ground, renouncing his world without looking back.
Any direction is better than where you now stand.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Several high-priority concerns demand immediate attention.
All are crucial.
None will be denied.
Yet some demand the denial of others.
Like two atoms seeking to occupy the same space, these irresistible forces and immovable objects threaten to ignite a cataclysm that could irreversibly alter your world.
This is no time for fatal heroics.
You are at Ground Point Zero.
Remove yourself from this situation without delay.
Find sanctuary.
Later you may deal with these concerns on your own terms, from a position of strength.
KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU!
Breathe. Stay calm and positive. Be confident and consistent. Do not always rush in. Make slow and steady efforts. Prepare now.
Good luck!

I need to re-read this a couple times, still trying to discern the reading hahaha.
>>17400548
According to the reading's first hexagram, the next big change in your life seems to tend more fitness/study than a relationship. You will be using this time to prepare and ready yourself to be in the best mental and physical shape to take on the opportunities that will follow. Remove yourself from any bad situations you find yourself in and avoid any thoughts/actions of fatal heroics. You will be using this time to build a position of strength to deal with things on your terms.
The next part of your reading urges you to take some time to consider your role in when finding yourself in the following position:
You come to the rescue and reinforce the supporting structure.
Order and good fortune is restored.
But does your help carry a price?
All of this culminates in the final part of your reading:
Transformed Hexagram:
15 - Fifteen
Ch'ien / Modesty
The Mountain does not overshadow the Plain surrounding it:
Such modest consideration in a Superior Person creates a channel through which excess flows to the needy.
Success if you carry things through.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The Cosmos is moving toward equilibrium.
Extremes are being tempered, excess is beginning to shift toward the empty.
You can use these moderating influences to strike a balance in the world around you.
Remember, though, that this Leveling will not come about through an arrogant confiscation of excess, but through subtler persuasions.
Modesty and moderation are the keys.
>>17400552
I think that is a great place to approach it from, but you must incentivize it if you are to be effective: if possible, get them to see that a) your goal is not working as an opposing force to them and/or b) how achieving your goal can benefit them.
>>17400373
I guess you could say I'm dwelling on a guy. I know he's not the best for me, thanks.
>>17400602
Thanks for the hasty reply. You're a legend!
So what I got from this is that I need to stay the course I'm currently on, and try not to do anything to brash or hastily.
And when it comes me offering my help, to understand that it could have negative repercussions even if it is for the greater good.
>>17400567
Thank you for saying that! You're very welcome!
The first part of the reading reveals the hexagram for "Aftermath". It would seem you are currently or just about to be in the aftermath of some situation with which you're dealing. For more about Aftermath, do see this post:
>>17400547
As for the situation you can expect with love, the next part of the reading deals with this very topic:
The woman has lost her screen.
She will remain exposed seven days before it is returned.
What this means is:
The woman loses the curtain of her carriage.
Do not run after it;
On the seventh day you will get it.
(The cultural context is that it was regarded as a breach of propriety to drive on if this curtain was lost.)
Applied to public life, this means that a man who wants to achieve something is not receiving that confidence of the authorities which he needs, so to speak, for his personal protection. Especially in times "after completion" it may happen that those who have come to power grow arrogant and conceited and no longer trouble themselves about fostering new talent.
This as a rule results in office seeking. If a man's superiors withhold their trust from him, he will seek ways and means of getting it and of drawing attention to himself. We're warned against such an unworthy procedure:
"Do not seek it." Do not throw yourself away on the world, but wait tranquilly and develop your personal worth by your own efforts. Times change. When the six stages of the hexagram have passed, the new era dawns. That which is a man's own cannot be permanently lost. It comes to him of its own accord. He need only be able to wait.
The final part of your reading: Calculated Waiting. The Superior Person nourishes himself and remains of good cheer to condition himself for the moment of truth. Great Success if you sincerely keep to your course. Endure. Embrace what fate has in store for you.
>>17400613
Sage advice my friend
>>17400577
Thank you!
The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Dissolution":
Sage rulers dedicated their lives to serving a Higher Power and built temples that still endure.
The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated. Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch. Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms. Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.
The next part of your reading urges you to take some time to consider the following:
When your dreams evaporate to mist on the breeze, you return to your well of strength.
Regret is washed away.
The final part of your reading? Be dutiful. Have faith and be faithful. Be consistent. Be keenly aware of your influence on others. Maintain a healthy respect for the ripple effect of your words and deeds. To some you serve as a role model. You can either help shape their world or tilt them into chaos. Show temperance and consideration to all.
Take these things into your character, and you will find the success you seek!

>>17400587
Amusing, thank you!
The first part of your reading is auspicious so far:
Social Mechanism
Heaven reflects the Flame of clarity:
The Superior Person analyzes the various levels and working parts of the social structure, and uses them to advantage.
Success if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is a matter of Positioning -- not only yourself, but others as well.
There are niches to be filled, potentials to be realized, right livelihoods to be found.
You are not building a new organization, but shoring up an existing infrastructure.
It's worth the effort, because it will provide union, community, and an ironclad alliance.
Auspicious indeed, but BEWARE OF:
At first, the warm attachment that springs from the heart is lacking here. We are by this time actually outside of fellowship with others. However, we ally ourselves with them. The fellowship does not include all, but only those who happen to dwell near one another. The meadow is the pasture at the entrance to the town. At this stage, the ultimate goal of the union of mankind has not yet been attained, but we need not reproach ourselves. We join the community without separate aims of our own.
SO TAKE THINGS SLOW. BE PATIENT AND FIRM IN YOUR RESOLVE. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED OR UPSET.
If you can do that, the result will be:
Attraction:
The joyous Lake is cradled by the tranquil Mountain:
The Superior Person takes great satisfaction in encouraging others along their journey.
He draws them to him with his welcoming nature and genuine interest.
Supreme success.
It is Attraction that fuels atoms and the Cosmos, and fuels procreation furthering our species.
Yet Attraction also spawns greed and covetousness, threatening our extinction.
Attraction is the force at hand.
You are refined or debased by the objects of your desire.
What gravitational pull are you now under?
Around what sphere of influence do you circle?
Can you use your own ability to attract?
>>17400596
This is a wise course of action. It is urged to re-read and contemplate to get everything out of the texts.
Am i going to have any more problems with the guy who beat me up yesterday? A very worried pisces
>>17400729
Did a simple reading, resulted in Puer. Symbol of youthful masculinity, violence, rashness , impulsiveness. You should be wary of both your impulses and that of your enemy, however in terms of violence this is a favorable symbol. Not much else I can say.
>>17400753
Favorable as in favoring violence or peace
>>17400718
Eh the flame and boiling water seems to be referring to my ex and I. In this case pretty sure I'm the boiling water and the superior person who looked at the situation from every angle.
From what I can gather of the reading, it's more of telling me to continue down the path I've chosen, being vigilant to myself and my goals as I face more struggles.
As for the hexagram lines I'm assuming that's my current state of mind. For now I'm back to normal and have cut my ex out completely, so hopefully the changes you alluded to have nothing to do with her.
Still completely unsure of ".....Seat of Power occupied by the conqueror."; never really saw myself as a conqueror, just wanted to get my goals accomplished.
>>17400753

>>17400688

>>17400774
Favorable as in if there is violence, it will be in your favor. That's not to say you should necessarily jump to violence, merely that you shouldn't worry about it to much. It's hard to say with such a simple reading.
>>17400779
I'm sorry, I don't normally do requests, I just respond to the ones I feel a connection with. However, in my experience, getting back with someone is usually a good way to repeat past mistakes.

>>17400695
Welcome!
According to the results of the reading, all signs point to no!
The first hexagram that was cast was for "Retreat"!
The Superior Person avoids the petty and superficial by keeping shallow men at a distance, not in anger but with dignity.
Such a retreat sweeps the path clear to Success. Occupy yourself with minute detail.
Retreat in this instance is not a desperate flight in disarray, but a conscious choice to distance yourself from forces that would rob you of your peace. It is not a surrender, but a regrouping. Retreat from this conflict is actually an advance toward your own center. You move toward balance, and thus a much stronger position.
The next part of your reading indicates that you tend to throw yourself into things, latching yourself to your cause. Realize when this is a strength and when it is a weakness! Loyalty and perseverance are good. Dependence is not!
Resist compulsion! It is a strong, addictive temptation, much more dangerous than it seems! You are ignoring a clear and present danger to your well-being. If this threat emanated from a heavy-handed oppressor, you would see it coming. But this danger comes to you in the form of a seduction, an amusement, a diversion, an indulgence that is eating away at the fiber of your secure little world. Do not underestimate!
>>17400820
Thank you so much for your reading. Have a wonderful day and I will ponder what you have told me.

Wow, your reading resulted in this single, definitive hexagram:
Cast Hexagram:

Ch'ien / Creative Activity
Heaven above and Heaven below:
Heaven in constant motion.
With the strength of the dragon, the Superior Person steels himself for ceaseless activity.
Productive Activity.
Potent Influence.
Sublime Success if you keep to your course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The time for action has come.
You now have the focus and the stamina necessary for accomplishing great tasks.
The path before you is being cleared and reward lies ahead.

You / Him / Union Significator: 3 of Swords (reversed) / 9 of Swords / King of Cups
Cultural Discrepancy / Solution: 10 of Swords / Ace of Swords (reversed)
Projected Outcome: 4 of Wands
Girl, you've got this. I know it hurts to have something like this come between you two, but love, at least in your case, shall lastly ring true. All those sword cards spell out some pain, and the advice one tells you not to seek to gain something new. KEEP GOING. The 4 of wands is a card showing a couple who is happy and in front of a home standing. That's you're projected outcome if you stick it out. Looks like you'll have something to smile about if you just ignore the naysayers and keep going. I would say more, but this spread is so exceedingly straightforward that it's not necessary.
>>17400818
Thank you!
I don't want to necessarily get your hopes up, but the reading was generally favorable in terms of love! If not this girl, then definitely with another one! Let's look at the results of the reading. First:
Grace:
Fire illuminates the base of the Mountain:
The Superior Person realizes he has not the wisdom to move the course of the world, except by attending to each day's affairs as they come.
Success in small matters.
This is a good time to begin something.
The emphasis now is on form, not function -- on the sizzle and not the steak. The environment around you is not one of depth, and you are appreciated now for your image, not your essence. You perfectly fill a role, and no one is seeing the genuine you. Still, you are being listened to and watched. Use this influence to further your goals as much as possible. Even if you don't feel understood, you can perhaps connect with a few isolated hearts. Relax and enjoy the attention.
BEWARE OF:
Vanity, superficiality, and the superfluous.
Your reading/situation concludes with:
Transformed Hexagram:
17 - Seventeen
Sui / Following
Thunder beneath the Lake's surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.
Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Thunder from the Lake -- the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?
I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!

Li / Igniting
Fire sparks more Flames:
The Superior Person holds an inner Fire that ignites passion in every heart it touches, until all the world is enlightened and aflame.
With so searing a flame, success will not be denied you.
Take care to be as peaceful and nurturing as the cow in the meadow; you are strong enough to be gentle.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
A Promethean flame is delivering light and heat to the situation at hand.
This radiance will cause such an alchemical transformation of circumstances that the changes will seem magical, miraculous.
Yet they are only shifts of perspective and attitude that bring clarity.
The passions kindled by this fire must be harnessed and used judiciously, or they threaten to consume your hopes and dreams.
Doing two or three tarot readings. I'll need your gender and your query; no inane and silly love queries and vague queries like generals will get a vague answer, but I'll try my best.
One requirement though: post a picture of something that's related to fantasy or preferably magic. Wizards, mages, magic rituals, etc and etc.

Fucking money. Ugh, it's a matter of money that will keep you from getting that honey. I gather that you're the romantic sort, or at least good emotionally, but somehow that isn't enough to keep her from leaving. These cards tell me that quite advantageous is to you the whole emotional and passionate thing, and you've richness in that sort, obviously.
Here's the thing. You may need to get a bit more wealthy to secure her a bit more concretely, but being passionate and mad and wonderful might be just the thing that would get you in her good graces in the first place, and offering the gift of deep emotions and beauty might get you well in her face to give her something more to crave.
See, lad, you may not be the kind of dude who can command quite as much as she'd like her man to, but she does like that you're genuine and true. Nice guy and such, that might help out a bunch, and you need to exploit that to the extent that you create an air about you that comes well to consent to comfort in your presence.
But it looks bad in the end. Sorry, friend, but The Lovers in reverse is about a clear a sign as you can get; sorry, friend. Sinceras condolências, meu amigo.

I see a pretty brown girl with datass, but Brazil so kek. Anyway, she looks pretty, but she may not be willing. She's...she looks nervous, like anxious, like something a girl that pretty wouldn't be expected to do, and failing to understand that fact is what may most confuse you.
So lad, it seems like you'll have a hard time making sense of her by virtue of how she comports herself because she can be confusing at times, but nevertheless she seems well in the mind if you can convince her that you're not just feeding her lines.
So, self-conscious and anxious and nervous pretty brown girl. Good luck to you.

All fair and fine. As long as there's an image, I'm content.
Two of Cups (Love), III - The Empress, Four of Swords (Truce).
I chuckled at the fact that the cards came up in the order of two, three and four. Anyhow, the primary card is the Empress, supported by the left and right, Love and Truce. It seems that it was received quite well in the emotional aspect, especially tempted to say it because of the appearance of the Empress and Love. Truce would signify some sort of a mental ''truce''. While mentally this may not last for too long, but any sort of arguments or instability should calm for the time being.
To sum it up even shorter: good in the emotional aspect, and it will bring a certain kind of truce, even though it may or may not be short-term.

Light skin, light hair, in front of a computer, looks like you'll meet her online, I guess, or maybe that's just what she does for a living. Maybe? In front of a computer she does something. She looks very serious, and she may not have much of a sense of humor. Not my type of girl, but I've fallen for worse. Anyway, I get the feeling she's into something very technical or sciency. Maybe something she's studying or doing for a living? All I see is serious staring.

You / Situation: 9 of Cups / 3 of Cups
Internal / External Challenges: Wheel of Fortune (reversed) / The Sun (reversed)
Advice: 2 of Swords / The Magician (reversed)
Projected Outcome: Death (reversed)
Not feeling it as much as you used to? You're fine, dude. You may think things are coming down and crashing around you, but your state seems to endure, and considering how much you're freaking out about everything, it's a pretty damn good outcome I'm seeing.
9 of Cups, some permanence for home you're building, and it seems that you have to do some cooperating (3C) with others in a manner that makes you a bit nervous, right? Nevermind, you're good. You're going to feel inclined to make a crazy decision here and there, but it would be best if you not dare to go there. See, pulling the trigger when hair comes to stare upon you by standing up straight isn't going to work out too well for you, mate.
Hold it. Don't be so impetuous, for that impetuous nature of yours might cause you to run a foul course. Just relax now, man, you've got this. The cards say that you're trying to overreact, and that sort of thing might bite your ass. Just relax.
Just

>primary card, the focus: Five of Disks (Worry)
>supporting left card: Queen of Swords
>supporting right card: Three of Wands (Virtue)
>internal influences: Four of Swords (Truce)
>external influences: Seven of Swords (Futility)
My right eye started twitching when I flipped over the external influences and saw the Futility. The first three cards, to put it shortly, seem to make me think that she just wanted some sort of change. At least there was something going on in regards of stability that she did not like, and she decided to change it. The Worry is the destruction of stability, the Virtue is the will to actually do something and well on it's way to do so, and the Queen could very well symbolize her.
The influences, well... An shaky, internal truce, with trickery and lies from the external. Could very well even symbolize something along the lines of cheating. This would probably be the one and only card which would directly answer the question of ''did she cheat on me or did she not?''.
Make your own interpretations from this. What I see is that she just wanted to do it, and there's probably even cheating going on. Or lies. If she didn't do it at that time, she would have done it later.
>>17400934

>>17400968
Thanks!
I'm sorry that happened to you, anon. I was just in a similar situation, so I know that it hurts, but that pain will lessen in time.
Here's a rather positive reading I did on you to help encourage you for the future when you are done focusing on feeling your wounds:
Expansion:
Whirlwinds and Thunder:
When the Superior Person encounters saintly behavior, he adopts it; when he encounters a fault within, he transforms it.
Progress in every endeavor.
Get ready to ride a tide of accelerated growth toward self-actualization. A joyful awareness of the best within you, coupled with an acceptance of your Shadow, will provide a greater repertoire, a much bolder vision, and new depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons.
BEWARE OF:
Being blindsided by something of which you are totally unaware! Remain calm, cautious, and careful. Take the time now to prepare/ready/fortify yourself for any trying times that could lie ahead, both those you can and cannot anticipate. Find strength and peace now to best deal with anything that can come your way. Be confident but not cocky. Exercise your best judgment. Stay positive.
RESULT IF YOU STAY TRUE TO COURSE:
Your benevolence has been recognized by those above you.
Your plans will greatly benefit all, and the favor you seek is as good as granted before you even ask.

>Galdrabok, 35
>To Find Out A Thief
>”Carve these on a man's leg bone and then he will come and spit out whosoever stole from you.”
Lack of trust, lad? It may have gone bad before and you may be yet a bit sore, but not all those lasses are complete asses, believe me; there are still some good ones out there, you'll see. Not all of them will be unfaithful or cheat. Not all of them will comport themselves dishonorably.
You'll find better fate if you reignite your faith that women can be good too. One or two may not have been too good to you, but one will soon.
I see a skinny girl, light tan with brown hair, no curves (hey she's nice, tho) and reading a book when she catches your stare. You'll be too shy to talk to her at first, but it's fine. A slight smile, because she's likewise shy, and she thinks more of bettering herself at the time.
I saw her on a table or something, so maybe that's relevant. Best of luck to you, friend.
>>17400911
Ace of Wands, Prince of Swords, Eight of Disks (Prudence).
These three cards would represent the results of you following the path of trying to create a clothing line. It doesn't seem to be an outright failure, so there's a good start. Lots of planning and lots of will are there, with signs of you being careful. It seems that if you will go for it, some mishap *may* happen, but you'll learn and keep going for it nonetheless. On the matter of success, I drew Two of Disks (Change). I would like to say that it's a yes, it would be entirely possible, but it would take a considerable bit of time and things happening, planning and energy put before you'll be able to pull something off.
Good luck, I suppose.

>what can I do to get better (mentally)?
Perfect for bibliomancy
>Norse Mythology Dictionary
>”Son- The name of one of the containers of the mead of inspiration that the giantess Gunnlodh guarded. (4) See also 'Bodn' and 'Gunnlodh'”
The mead of poetry! Did you know that you can pull yourself out of the deepest of misery simply by doing something crazy and beautiful that you can remember subsequently? You don't have to create a demon and call him “The Crazy” like me, but using your inspiration to feel something divine for a moment can fuel the touch of divinity towards you.
A large drink took Oðin of that mead. Do you think gods never get depressed too? Think of Frey for a moment, won't you?
Frey said:
>“How, then, should I seek to explain
>to such a youth of my puissant pain?
>Though the elfwheel upon all things shine,
>it casts no light on this longing of mine.”
It's okay.
It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be depressed. It's okay to cry. Cry your ass off until gone is all the pain, and then get up and laugh a bit. Accompany the wiping of your tears with jokes and shit. You've got this.
There's something you've always wanted to do, right? Get up and do it right, and scream to the sky “victory is mine” when you've claimed it true and you've called for yourself a good step to you!
Seek inspiration in something beautiful that inspires you more thereafter; then, let out some laughter, for it is the best companion of tears, and you shall carry good companion of lessons for years in something...
beautiful and crazy
Do it, and just push your hand through the hazy air. Push through and reach without a care. I know that quite well you'll fare.
You've got this, girl. Prepare to unfurl something mad and beautiful to paint the sky with the deepest of reds from the shattering of the way you cry.
Remember, beautiful and crazy is the precise thing you need.
>>17400973
The first hexagram of your reading calls for Gathering! You must seek out groups of people.
The King approaches his temple.
It is wise to seek audience with him there.
Success follows this course.
Making an offering will seal your good fortune.
A goal will be realized now.
This is an important Convergence, and you must be part of it. Look for the Center of this convergence. Like waters running to the sea, like an astronomical convergence of planets revolving around the sun, you should let the gravity of this Center draw you near. Others are also drawn to this Center, and among them you will find shared bonds and kindred spirits. This tribal convergence will give you a clarity of purpose. You will no longer be alone.
The next part of your reading urges you to take the time to consider the following:
You strive to find common ground that doesn't exist.
Sighing in sadness and walking away would be understood, though you may think less of yourself.
If you follow this course of action and take these things into your character, it will ultimately result in:
Attraction:
The joyous Lake is cradled by the tranquil Mountain:
The Superior Person takes great satisfaction in encouraging others along their journey.
He draws them to him with his welcoming nature and genuine interest.
Supreme success.
There is no greater natural law in the Cosmos than Attraction.
From the magnetic pull of an atom's nucleus to the centrifugal force that spirals a galaxy, the face of the universe is shaped by Attraction.
On a human scale, it is Attraction that fuels procreation and furthers our species.
Yet it is also Attraction that spawns greed and covetousness, threatening our extinction.
Attraction is the underlying force of the situation in question.
You are refined or debased by the objects of your desire.
What gravitational pull are you now under?
Around what sphere of influence do you circle?
Can you use your own ability to attract?
GOOD LUCK!

You've got a friend in Pennsylvania.
As for your reading, continue your good works and add to them! You will be rewarded for them when you are not expecting it! Hone and refine your brilliance and you will be a Godsend to the people. Your aspirations will be met with promotion! Accept all gifts graciously, be they from high or low places. They may differ from what you want / need / hoped for, but appreciating them for what they are will move you forward on your path. And be aware that some may bestow more than they can afford to give, but you must realize that they need to feel that they have repaid you.
The next part of your reading urges you to take time to consider the following:
You advance in sorrow, but this path leads to good fortune. Accept the boon of a wise woman.
The final part of your reading/situation reads as follows:
No matter how large or diverse the group, the Superior Person remains uniquely himself.
Small accomplishments are possible.
You are working at cross-purposes with another.
The distance between you is very wide.
The gap can be closed, however, with no compromise of your integrity.
You are not adversaries in this case -- just two persons addressing individual needs.
Ask yourself: are these needs mutually exclusive?
Is there common ground here?
Must there be one winner and one loser?
Could you become partners in seeking a solution that would allow for two winners?
GOOD LUCK!

Your reading resulted in a single, definitive hexagram:
Cast Hexagram:
20 - Twenty
Kuan / Contemplation
The gentle Wind roams the Earth:
The Superior Person expands his sphere of influence as he expands his awareness.
Deeply devoted to his pursuit of clarity and wisdom, he is unconscious of the inspiring, positive example he is setting for others to emulate.
You have cleansed yourself; now stand ready to make your humble, devout offering.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The situation marks a rising to new heights.
As you climb for a better view of the panorama, you make yourself more conspicuous to those below.
This hexagram is also known as the Watchtower, because the shape formed by its lines resembles the ancient guardposts manned by Chinese soldiers.
These towers were placed on mountainsides to give a better vantage point.
To those below, the watchtowers served as landmarks to help them find their way.
The quality of your search for clarity in this situation serves as such a guidepost for others along the Way.

The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Gradual Progress":
The Superior Person clings faithfully to dignity and integrity, thus elevating the Collective Spirit of Man in his own small way.
Development.
The maiden is given.
Good fortune if you stay on course.
Adaptability mixed with integrity will bring a calm, steady progress.
Move from your center, always faithful to your principles, yet with the flexibility to weather any tempest.
Yours is not a meteoric rise to the top, but the solid, confident footing of one who has a clear vision of what can be, and who is willing to climb the distance to reach it.
The oracle foresees companionship along the way -- a Divine comfort on any journey.
The next part of your reading reveals the following text:
The geese draw near the cliff.
There will be feasting, peace, rest and joy.
The final part of your reading:
Transformed Hexagram:

Ching / The Well
Deep Waters Penetrated and drawn to the surface:
The Superior Person refreshes the people with constant encouragement to help one another.
Encampments, settlements, walled cities, whole empires may rise and fall, yet the Well at the center endures, never drying to dust, never overflowing.
It served those before and will serve those after.
Again and again you may draw from the Well, but if the bucket breaks or the rope is too short there will be misfortune.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is a Source common to us all.
Jung named it the Collective Unconscious.
Others hail it as God within.
Inside each of us are dreamlike symbols and archetypes, emotions and instincts that we share with every other human being.
When we feel a lonely separateness from others, it is not because this Well within has dried up, but because we have lost the means to reach its waters.
You need to reclaim the tools necessary to penetrate to the depths of your fellows.
Then the bonds you build will be as timeless and inexhaustible as the Well that nourishes them.

Wow, This was unexpected.
Ive recently started working out, four people has joined with me.
Ive been open about my, well, feeling other poeple and their emotions, and a few people have been eager to learn. More have shed tears and found aid in my words. My sister has gotten stronger in her path with me helping aswell. My friend is going clean on drugs and ive taken him in to hang and be 'normal' to not stray back to drugs-
I have been trying hard to get reaquinted with my feelings and my senses.
I dont mean to sound like an ego. But it is good to hear and to reflect back and see that i can truly help and be a good example to others.

Hello! Thank you for your positive presence!
The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Durability":
Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind.
Close companions in any storm:
The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course.
Such constancy deserves success.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Endurance is the key to success in this situation.
However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity.
True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core.
Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance?
Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist?
Then you will endure to reach your goal.
BEWARE OF:
He pledges his love too hastily, and awaits her promise in return.
This stunts the natural growth of affection.
Seeking duration too hastily brings misfortune persistently.
Nothing that would further.
Whatever endures can be created only gradually by long-continued work and careful reflection. In the same sense Lao Tzu says:
"If we wish to compress something, we must first let it fully expand."
He who demands too much at once is acting precipitately, and because he attempts too much, he ends by succeeding in nothing.
If you take this information into your character and apply it, it will result in what's indicated in the final part of your reading...

Opportunity will arise along this course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The Awesome Power available in this hexagram stems from what the Taoists call your Te, a term not perfectly translated into English.
Roughly, it is your Integrity -- not in the Western sense of honor -- but more in the psychological definition of a full integration of Who You Are.
This Awesome Power is achieved only by fully embracing both the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, the masculine and the feminine -- all polarities within you.
Such self-knowledge spawns a Mastery tempered with the humility necessary to rein in and harness this Awesome Power.

You id a reading for me yesterday, which I thank you for. But I find I ching to be one of the most POWERFUL and ACCURATE oracles.
Without the sorrow, sadness and distress in life, there would be no point to the joy, elation, light and peace. Let your heart enjoy the sadness, for it is the cold day which makes the cup of tea that much sweeter.
That being said, info:

Will I ever meet Valiant Thor, the alien from planet Venus?
>>17401265
Valar morghulis. Valar dohaeris.
I know that feel. It hurts like hell. I'm sorry anyone else should have to feel it.
Naturally, the first part of your reading seems to describe your current situation, the hexagram for "Critical Mass":
The Flood rises above the tallest Tree:
Amidst a rising tide of human folly, the Superior Person retires to higher ground, renouncing his world without looking back.
Any direction is better than where you now stand.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Several high-priority concerns demand immediate attention.
All are crucial.
None will be denied.
Yet some demand the denial of others.
Like two atoms seeking to occupy the same space, these irresistible forces and immovable objects threaten to ignite a cataclysm that could irreversibly alter your world.
This is no time for fatal heroics.
You are at Ground Point Zero.
Remove yourself from this situation without delay.
Find sanctuary.
Later you may deal with these concerns on your own terms, from a position of strength.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION:
Being overly cautious is no mistake.
Exceptional enterprises cannot succeed unless utmost caution is observed in their beginnings and in the laying of their foundations.
The final part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Calculated Waiting":
Deep Waters in the Heavens:
Thunderclouds approaching from the West, but no rain yet.
The Superior Person nourishes himself and remains of good cheer to condition himself for the moment of truth.
Great Success if you sincerely keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is nothing more you can do to affect the outcome.
You must now submit to the Fates.
Occupy yourself with either relaxing activity or creative and/or productive activity, perhaps something using your hands. Alternate activities to move forward. Good luck!

>senpai remembers
You are fine in my book, friend.
It's just that things outside my control spoop me, having something reliying on others spoops me even more.
Some readings have been telling me that I'm gonna be fine but honestly I'm not feeling it.
Life goes on I guess.

Just before I go to sleep, I have to say - woah have no words
I have thrown some I tjing in the past, but this hits home like nothing else. Excuse my enthusiasm :)
This here I will take to heart, everything said connects with what I have learned and experienced so far. Thank you so much, hopefully till next time. Good day!
This thread is truly blessed today
Cheers, /div/
>>17401272
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for your positivity, kind words, and your message to maintain perspective!
We'll see what we can do to fast-track your path to your goals... because otherwise, your reading indicates "Difficulty at the Beginning", "Needing Guidance", "Knowing your Limitations", and "knowing when to give up the chase".
We'll try to use the I-Ching's wisdom to minimize these things and speed things up a bit, but you will have to exercise patience regardless!
The Superior Person carefully weaves order out of confusion.
Supreme Success if you keep to your course.
Carefully consider the first move.
Seek help.
New ventures always pack along their inherent chaos.
Though this is an annoyance at best, and can even imperil or downright doom an endeavor, it is also the friction needed to polish your project to jewel brilliance.
Learn from these early obstacles.
CONSIDER:
A hunter who pursues his prey without a guide will lose his way in the deeps of the forest.
The Superior Person knows his limitations and gives up the chase: when to advance would bring regret.
Whoever hunts deer without the forester
Only loses his way in the forest.
The superior man understands the signs of the time
And prefers to desist.
To go on brings humiliation.
If a man tries to hunt in a strange forest and has no guide, he loses his way. When he finds himself in difficulties he must not try to steal out of them unthinkingly and without guidance. Fate cannot be duped; premature effort, without the necessary guidance, ends in failure and disgrace. Therefore the superior man, discerning the seeds of coming events, prefers to renounce a wish rather than to provoke failure and humiliation by trying to force its fulfillment.
SEEK GUIDANCE FROM PEOPLE YOU TRUST!
(Continued in next post...)
>>17401368
When meeting an impasse, the Superior Person turns his gaze within, and views the obstacle from a new perspective.
Offer your opponent nothing to resist.
Let a sage guide you in this.
Good fortune lies along this course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The Obstacle lies in obstinance.
An insistence on only one way of proceeding has brought things to an impasse.
You may either continue banging your head with irresistible force against this immovable object, or you might step back and survey this situation from a fresh perspective.
Which is immobile here -- the obstruction or your attitude?
TAKE THESE THINGS INTO YOUR CHARACTER FOR SUCCESS! GOOD LUCK!

It's amazing how insightful these threads can get when the shitposters lay off. I think /div/ is the kindest gen I've seen on this site.
>>17401291
Can these be converted into loosh and/or bitcoins or another form of cryptocurrency?
>>17401296
How I should aspire further in my embodiment of that!
The first part of the reading reveals the hexagram for "Contemplation":
The gentle Wind roams the Earth:
The Superior Person expands his sphere of influence as he expands his awareness.
Deeply devoted to his pursuit of clarity and wisdom, he is unconscious of the inspiring, positive example he is setting for others to emulate.
You have cleansed yourself; now stand ready to make your humble, devout offering.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The situation marks a rising to new heights.
As you climb for a better view of the panorama, you make yourself more conspicuous to those below.
This hexagram is also known as the Watchtower, because the shape formed by its lines resembles the ancient guardposts manned by Chinese soldiers.
These towers were placed on mountainsides to give a better vantage point.
To those below, the watchtowers served as landmarks to help them find their way.
The quality of your search for clarity in this situation serves as such a guidepost for others along the Way.
This seems to indicate that you need to make yourself more visible -- and in a strictly positive light... much like you are doing right now. ;)
The next part of your reading urges you to think upon this:
Your future is shaped by the quality of your influence on others in the past.
Be blameless.
(Continued in next post...)
>>17401407
Finally, your reading results in the hexagram for "Enthusiasm"!
Thunder comes resounding out of the Earth:
Similar thunder roars up from the masses when the Superior Person strikes a chord in their hearts.
Whip up enthusiasm, rally your forces, and move boldly forward.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is a rhythmic force, a world music, that lives deep in the Unconscious of each of us.
It's a primitive drumbeat, a shaking rattle, a tribal chant that invokes the primal self to rise up and join the dance.
This is the enthusiasm that is generated now.
Not rhetorical persuasion, not a play on the emotions, but a charismatic, irresistible Call of the Wild.
Confucius said that the person who could comprehend this could 'rule the world as though it were spinning in his hand.'
This is a time for instinct, not intellect -- the Thunder from Beneath.
An auspicious reading indeed! My best wishes unto you! :)

>>17401420
Thank you! You are a good person for saying so! You're very welcome!
The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Empowering"!
The joyous Lake spans on and on to the horizon:
The Superior Person renews and expands his Spirit through heart-to-heart exchanges with others.
Success if you stay on course.
This is a good partnership!
The principals in this situation exchange energy, ideas and feelings, constantly invigorating and encouraging each other to new heights of Spiritual achievement and Self-discovery.
This exchange is not for the glory of the Team, but for furthering the process of each individual's 'Te', or pure potentiality.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION:
Don't let thrill-seeking comrades divert you from true joy.
Fire distances itself from its nemesis, the Lake:
No matter how large or diverse the group, the Superior Person remains uniquely himself.
Small accomplishments are possible in realms where you or others are estranged.
In dealing with that:
You are working at cross-purposes with another.
The distance between you is very wide.
The gap can be closed, however, with no compromise of your integrity.
You are not adversaries in this case -- just two persons addressing individual needs.
Ask yourself: are these needs mutually exclusive?
Is there common ground here?
Must there be one winner and one loser?
Could you become partners in seeking a solution that would allow for two winners?
May this information help you! Good luck!
>>17401316
I can't thank you enough. I hope you find healing and joy, you have an incredible gift.
>>17401435
All signs point to yes regarding the course of action you are currently considering in terms of medicine:
The first hexagram was for "Durability": constancy driving success. Take this medication regularly and religiously! "Faithfully"! "Such constancy deserves success"!
Endurance is the key to success in this situation.
However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity.
True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core.
REMEMBER:
To submit to insult is to invite injury.
Steel yourself for ceaseless creative activity. Productive Activity. Potent Influence. Sublime Success if you keep to your course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
The time for action has come.
You now have the focus and the stamina necessary for accomplishing great tasks.
The path before you is being cleared and reward lies ahead.
GOOD LUCK!
>>17401443
You're very welcome! Your planned course of action is wise and correct!
Thank you! To you and yours as well!
>>17401470

wtf m tarot cards told me one thing and they lied to me they wrong... why do they do dis
>>17401439
What do u use for readings?
>>17401537
I use the I-Ching, the ancient Chinese book of changes, and I interact with a random number generator while posing the query from the post!
>>17401549
I do technomancy too, can you elaborate on your process?
>>17401578
Nice XML hierarchy!
While thinking about the query and the other details in the post, I use the timing that it inspires in my tossing of the coins to generate the lines of the changing and unchanging lines of the hexagram. Then I read their corresponding texts from the I-Ching. I then share relevant texts, interpretations, experience, and advice as it applies to their query.
You can try a complete virtual online Javascript app version of the I-Ching in your browser (and with even more information to read) at ichingonline.net ! I've even done it right from my phone!

Perhaps I am here in part as penance for hurting the feelings of a coward in retaliation for their hurting me by their being cowardly. I did not receive forgiveness, and I have been having difficulty in forgiving myself. I am trying to make up for this negativity with the spreading of positive energy and trying to give helpful, insightful readings, which also allows me to heal vicariously through others.
I will gradually read everyone I can, posting back anywhere from 5 minutes later to by day's end, so check back. I just need positive input*** and as much of the following as you're comfortable giving me:
***Something friendly, cheerful, helpful, upbeat, encouraging, caring, positive, or the like

Rafael, Male, Aries, black hair, short, skinny, south america. Give me one of those long readings about love while i drink myself to death. What's in the future about it for me?
Things will be alright, Chironymous, take your time to let it go.
>>17401639
Thank you.
The first part of the reading reveals the hexagram for "Upward Mobility"!
Beneath the Soil, the Seedling pushes upward toward the light:
To preserve his integrity, the Superior Person contents himself with small gains that eventually lead to great accomplishment.
Supreme Success.
Have no doubts.
Seek guidance from someone you respect.
A constant move toward greater clarity will bring reward.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You are progressing, rising inch-by-inch toward certain success.
What makes this assured is your refusal to tilt headlong toward your goal, slamming into obstacles and going mad with frustration.
You have a clear map before you of the steps necessary to reach your objective.
With faithful patience and a careful conservation of personal energy and resources, you will run this long, slow distance.
The next part of your reading:
All obstructions that generally block progress fall away here. Things proceed with remarkable ease. Unhesitatingly one follows this road, in order to profit by one's success. Seen from without, everything seems to be in the best of order. However, no promise of good fortune is added. It is a question how long such unobstructed success can last. But it is wise not to yield to such misgivings, because they only inhibit one's power. Instead, the point is to profit by the propitiousness of time.
The final part of your reading deals with the hexagram for "Recruiting Allies":
Untapped resources are available.
The Superior Person nourishes and instructs the people, building a loyal, disciplined following.
Good fortune.
No mistakes if you follow a course led by experience.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You must gain support from others.
Find a way to make others want to see your objectives met as badly as you want it.
How can they profit from the attainment of this goal?
Can you command confidence that you are just the person that can bring this plan to fruition?
Good luck, anon!

I've already asked you for a voice sample, right? You feel familiar, but I want to hear the voice that goes with that energy of yours, and I'm just pestering you in case I haven't asked you before. Bad memory and terribly crazy, pardon me.
Anyone dabble in geomancy and want to share some tips/literature on the subject? I have a working knowledge but most of the information I find on the net is either overly simplified or someone's personal adaptation, which is often difficult to understand because I can't actively ask them questions.

The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "Recruiting Allies":
Untapped resources are available. The Superior Person nourishes and instructs the people, building a loyal, disciplined following. Good fortune. No mistakes if you follow a course led by experience.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You must gain support from others. Find a way to make others want to see your objectives met as badly as you want it. How can they profit from the attainment of this goal? Can you command confidence that you are just the person that can bring this plan to fruition?
The next part of your reading:
You are given command of the hunt! The game is in the field, and it would be wise to catch it!
The final part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "The Penetrating Wind":
Wind follows upon wind, wandering the earth, penetrating gently but persistently:
The Superior Person expands his influence by reaffirming his decisions and carrying out his promises.
Small, persistent, focused effort brings success. Seek advice from someone you respect.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance. Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident. Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation. Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation. All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent. Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.
Stay calm, confident, and positive! Persevere! Good luck!
>>17401681
Your reading revealed a single, definitive hexagram:
Cast Hexagram:
49 - Forty-Nine
Ko / Revolution
Fire ignites within the Lake, defying conditions that would deny it birth or survival:
The Superior Person reads the Signs of the Times and makes the Season apparent to all.
The support you need will come only after the deed is done.
Renewed forces, however, will provide fresh energy for exceptional progress.
Persevere.
All differences vanish.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
A revolutionary Change must be made forcibly.
There is no negotiating with the Established Order.
Perfect timing is essential.
Let the abuse of power become apparent and oppressive to those around you before making your move.
Lay the groundwork, sow the seeds for Revolution without tipping your hand prematurely.
You will need a strong foundation, because you will have to bring about this necessary change alone.
You cannot count on popular support, so you must wait until there is massive dissent.
Then the avenue for your assault will be cleared.
>>17401707
I hope this involves throwing a globe at something... although I'm sure that if it involved something like that, darts at a map would make more sense.

Okay, I'm done letting my imagination run wild. :p

Hello!
You're very welcome! Yes, sometimes the hexagram readings can be cryptic or not reveal certain details. Let's see if there's anything else I can extrapolate from your reading...
You will increase your visibility by expanding the number of people with which you interact, likely by meeting friends-of-friends and/or joining more groups. In this new crowd, you will make a good impression/reputation by your continued/growing good deeds. This will facilitate your meeting the people you will want to meet...
You may have even started this process already!
I was born on a Thorsday. ;) ;p
The reading also urges you to be good to people now because it will play a role later toward your goals!
Finally, the reading urges you to become and remain enthusiastic and positive! Rally your strengths, confidence, excitement, and energy! Practice striking a chord in people's hearts for when the moment finally comes! Then move boldly forward!
Put yourself in tune/harmony with the rhythmic force of the world music. It is already there in your Unconscious. Be charismatic, and enthusiastically embrace each step along your path as you would embrace your goal at the journey's end! Act naturally and things will come naturally! Follow your instincts!
>>17401722
The first part of your reading reveals the hexagram for "The Wanderer":
Fire on the Mountain, catastrophic to man, a passing annoyance to the Mountain:
The Superior Person waits for wisdom and clarity before exacting Justice, then lets no protest sway him.
Find satisfaction in small gains.
To move constantly forward is good fortune to a Wanderer.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You are a stranger to this situation.
It is your attraction to the exotic that has led you here, but you will move on to a new vista when this one has lost its mystique.
Because much of this environment is foreign to you, you must exercise only the best judgement.
You don't know the custom here, and it's too easy to cross a line you don't know is there.
Because you are the foreigner in this setting, you have no history to acquit you.
Watch, listen, study, contemplate, then step lightly but decisively on.
The next part of your reading reveals the following:
The traveler kills a pheasant with his first shot.
For the price of one arrow, he has bought himself praise and high office.
Traveling statesmen were in the habit of introducing themselves to local princes with the gift of a pheasant. Here the wanderer wants to enter the service of a prince. To this end he shoots a pheasant, killing it at the first shot. Thus he finds friends who praise and recommend him, and in the end the prince accepts him and confers an office upon him.
Circumstances often cause a man to seek a home in foreign parts. If he knows how to meet the situation and how to introduce himself in the right way, he may find a circle of friends and a sphere of activity even in a strange country.
