I found An interesting article and share ..

" The simple answer is that astrologically and astronomically, it makes much more sense. The Western year and its start on the 1st of January is a convention. Not to say that customs have no effects on our lives, far from it. They connect to the human part in the concept of the cosmic trinity: the taoist 3 lucks. But they change over time and reflect cultural rather than cosmic forces. For a long time the start of the Western year was on the 1st of April – and I am not joking! The start of the year on the 1st of January is based more on the logic of people who wants to control natural cycle and impose a human vision on it. And at a time when we discover how much manipulation there is in our world by the elites, including with magical ritual, a date that is not aligned with the cosmic order is not helping us to live in synch with the Universe. A start of the year based on the movement of the planets is a different logic; one where we, humans, acknowledge that there are greater forces than our will influencing our lives, and that we want to be in harmony with them.

So to summarise the Western start of the year is more a control freak logic, with possible vested interests, while the Chinese start of the year is more attuned to natural laws.

The further proof that the date of the 1st of January is a civil one rather than astronomical, you can look at the history of civilisations. Depending of whom you consider – Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks, Celts – the date for such celebration was based on the different equinox and solstices, which make more sense. The vernal equinox around the 20th of March, the autumnal equinox around the 20th of September, or the Winter solstice around the 20th of December. The Romans at some point celebrated their year on the 1st of April, close to the Vernal equinox. And for a long time it was the date chosen to start the year in Western calendars. The custom of celebration on that day was somehow kept with the April’s fool, but the move to the 1st of January is something else. It was introduced in 1582 by the Gregorian calendar, a decision made by Pope Gregory XIII. And so as you can see it is a papal decision that reshaped Western civilisations, but as nothing to do with the greater movements of nature and the Universe.

And so which dates should we logically consider to start a new year? Solstice and equinox were indeed a good logic. The boreal Winter solstice is now around the 22nd of December. In the Northern hemisphere it is the shortest day of the year; after that, the days get longer. Which means that the Yang energy grows again from this point onward, until it reaches its peak in summer. So astrologically, a date around the 20th or 22nd of December could be the start of a year.

The Yin-Yang movement as seen through the year.

However this is not what Chinese people use, however. That would be too easy!

Based on lunar and solar movement now, the two dates that start a Chinese year are aligned with a new orbit for the moon around the earth, or for the Earth around the Sun. Those two dates chosen for the Chinese year therefore also make sense as they represent a real shift in energy.

You will notice that this year, like last year, both dates are quite apart: there is actually 9 days separating the lunar and solar start. It is therefore ideal to already by in the shift of energies from the 3rd of February but also mark with a celebration on the 12th of February. I will soon publish my annual article to be lucky and prepare for the shift.

To summarise, the movements that represents change of Chi between September and February are:

    The autumn equinox, around the 20th of September
    Samhain/Halloween, half way through the autumn equinox and winter solstice (31st of October)
    The December solstice. On the next day, the Yang energy grows again and the Yin decline in the Northern hemisphere. A good case could be made for this date to be the “real” beginning of the year.
    The lunar start of the year in either January or February. To be technical: it must start on the 11th lunar month and is based on a new moon during this period. This is the time of the year when the moon starts a whole new cycle.
    The solar start of the year in February, when the Sun is at 315 degree exactly. It usually falls on the 4th of February, but can be on the 3rd or 5th. This is the beginning of the new solar cycle for a year and for Chinese the beginning of the Spring season.

Culturally of course the 1st of January has a weight, but it has more to do with cultural customs. In term of real shift of the Chi and start of new energies, those astronomical events which are the lunar and solar start of a cycle are more logical. This is also the reason why the influences of the Chinese New Year can already start after the December solstice (Yang energy rising) but this is foreplay; the real shift is with the lunar and then solar starts. The Western date can still be used for numerology however, another metaphysical practice based on human’s influence.

By now you understand that the dates of the Chinese New Year represents a change of Chi, a new energy; the Western date is a human decision less based on natural movements. And so back to the question: why should you celebrate the Chinese New Year?

Simply put, to have a good life, your intents and actions must be in synch with the flow of the Universe. We all have the power to create part of our lives, but we are also part of something much greater. By following the movements of nature the Universe and aiming at being in synch with it, you will then be in the flow of the New Year and its energy. It comes to: swimming with the river or trying to swim upstream. Which one is effortless and will save your energy? Why one takes you somewhere else faster? Going with the flow of the river of course. You then have much better chances to bring prosperity, abundance and even love within your life by aligning your intent with the “music of the spheres”, the movement of the planets influencing us all.

So it doesn’t matter if you are Chinese or not: celebrating the Chinese New Year properly will give you higher chances to be lucky and manifest the life you want in 2021, year of the Yin Metal Ox. Celebrate it both on the 3rd of February 2021 (solar calendar) and on the 12th of February 2021 (lunar start). "

Liu Yao / Moving - Quiet lines SPECIAL (LYYG)
« on: November 20, 2020, 10:20:04 PM »
Hi dear fellows ..
On this thread I will try to formulate all possible principles of Moving - Quiet lines of Hexagrams frequently used.
I based this research from the works of :
A.Chiu (AC),  J. Chiu (JC), R. Lo (RL), Joseph Yu (JY) , S. Shepherd (SS), Wild Crane book (WC)....

A. Category of Moving line in usage  (just as Ti-Self, Yong-Other, Yongshen line etc. )

(AC)
Scope: Original Moving line VS Bounding with " Present - Future time"
1. If a moving line or its changed one at Present (when tossing coins) doesn't bounded (Liu he), don't have the same branch or don't clash with Month or Day ... then its current change doesn't start ..!!
Will start its movement and become effective :
a.) when (in future ) reach a month or a Day to bound (Liu he) with it..
b.) When (in future ) reach a Month or day that have the same branch with it..

2. If a moving line or its changed one at present (when tossing coins) is bounded (Liu he) or have the same branch with Month or Day its current change doesn't start ..!!
Will start its movement and become effective :
a) when (in future ) reach a month or a Day to Clash with it.
----------
☆. On above Bounding Scope occurs mostly with Day and less with month branch, unless month Bondage is fitting well with a moving line if this is weak ..!!

Scope: Original Moving line VS clashing with " Present - Future time" [Struck Loose case ]
1. If a moving line or its changed one at present (when tossing coins) is clashed (Chong Po ) then  current change doesn't start ..!!
Will start its movement and become effective :
a) when (in future ) reach a month or a Day to bound (Liu he) Or have the same branch with it.
(Become effective due to regaining strength ..

2. If a  changed line at present (when tossing coins) is Empty (Kongwang) and clashed (Chong Po ) by the day then is out of empty but  current change doesn't start ..!!
Will start its movement and become effective :
a) when (in future ) reach a Day to bound (Liu he) Or have the same branch with its Original line.
(Become effective due to regaining strength ..)


(JC)
Scope: Original Moving line VS ability to inpose effects...
1.  If Original Moving line is conjunct with Day branch loses its ability to move .
2.  If Original Moving line is in Opposition with Day branch loses its ability to act (not engendering,  not insulting )
3. An original Moving line has the ability to impose the 4 effects to Other Lines .. ( vitalization - devitalization- opposition - injunction ).
4. An original Moving line has the ability to impose effects onto quiet lines, such as Self line, Other line,  or Yongshen line.

5. An original Moving line loses its ability to impose effects onto other lines if is devitalized by its changed line.
Remedy:
A). Is good if Original Moving line is vitalized by (the coming) day branch .
B). Is good if Original Moving line is vitalized by its Hiding line (Fu Shen ) .
C). Is good if changed line (Bian Yao) is devitalized by (the coming) day branch .

5a). An original Moving line loses its ability to impose effects onto other lines if is in opposition by its changed line.
Remedy:
A). Is good if Original Moving line is being conjunct (bound) with a day branch. (then there is a restoration of the ability for the Original active line to act onto other lines ).

6.  When an Original line is  being in Opposition with month branch (this is called Yue Po) this line is in prison or Death which this considered as weak and have very limited ability to impose any effects to Other lines..
Scope: Changed line (Bian Yao )
7. The changed line (Bian Yao) have all 4 effects (vitalization - devitalization- opposition - injunction ) onto its Original Moving line and if so not to Other lines.
(WC)
8. If a changed line, is capable to produce, inhibit, Clash, conjunct, with its Root line position [Ben -Yao],  [but] Not capable to produce or inhibit another line, (...but can conjunct, clash with other lines ...  my own infer )

9. If changed line (Bian Yao ) haven't any of 4 effects on the Original line then is applicable to all other lines including Hiding line (Fu Shen ).

10. The changed line (Bian Yao) isn't subjected to the effects from other moving lines, including Hiding lines..

11. There isn't any interactions among changed lines (Bian Yao).



B. Category of Quiet Line in usage  (just as Ti-Self, Yong-Other, Yongshen line etc. )

Scope: Quiet line VS Bounding with " Present - Future time"

1. If a Quiet line at Present (when tossing coins) doesn't bounded (Liu he), don't have the same branch or don't clash in current Month or Day ... then there isn't any start ..!!
Will start its "intention " to become effective and valid :
a.) when (in future ) reach a month or a Day to bound (Liu he) with it. (in the course of producing )
b.) When (in future ) reach a Month or day that have the same branch with it... 
Agreement: (AC) (WC).

2. If a Quiet line at Present (when tossing coins) is bounded (Liu he) and productive, or have the same branch with current Month or Day ... then there isn't any start but there is accumulation of energy..!!
Will start its " Secret movement " and become effective and valid :
a.) when (in future ) reach certainly a Day to Clash  ( Chong ) with it..

Scope: Quiet line VS clashing with " Present - Future time"
1. If a Quiet line at present is strong by Month (when tossing coins) but is clashed (Chong Po ) with a day branch ..
a) then Will start its "Secret Movement " and become effective
(JC) (JY) (SS) (WC) (RL)

2. If a Quiet line at present is not strong (when tossing coins) but is clashed (Chong Po ) with a day branch ..then  current change doesn't start, has lack of strength and also at this moment seems useless ..!! [Due to sudden shock of this clash .. my own infer ]
Will start its movement (or Secret movement ) when become strong and valid ..
a) If (in future ) reach a month or a Day to bound (Liu he) Or have the same branch with it.
(Become effective due to regaining strength ..)
 Agrrement : (AC) (SS) (WC) but not to other authors ..!!


Expectative date that something may happen according to Liu Yao Yi Gua. .
According to (SS) .. agree mostly with (AC)
If the type of Query is : When a Change may occur ?

1. A Yongshen's line branch is on month break >>>> Then changes may occur :
      1a. When reach a day having the same branch with Yongshen.
      1b. When reach a day having a branch that bounds (Liu He ) with Yongshen .

2. A Yongshen's line branch is Void (Kongwang ) >>>> Then changes may occur :
      2a. When reach a date having the same branch with Yongshen.
      2b. When reach a date having a branch that clashes (Liu po) with Yongshen .

3. A Yongshen's line branch is strong but constrained (by other moving lines ) >>>> Then changes may occur :
      When reach a date that can constrain the line that is constraining the Yongshen.

4. A Yongshen's line is weak without any support and constrained (by other moving line ) >>> Then changes may occur :
     4a. When reach a date with the same branch of constraining line you must be more cautious .
     4b. When reach a date with an engendering branch of constraining line you must be more cautious .

5  A Yongshen is strong and found in Month or day branch >>> Then changes may occur :
     5a. When reach a date that is in "Tomb" of Yongshen
     5b. When reach a date that is clashing with Yongshen.

Miscellaneous / Prayer and how does it differ from Divination?
« on: October 16, 2020, 12:07:32 PM »
Opinions from a friendly forum ...
https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/index.php?threads/what-is-prayer-and-how-does-it-differ-from-divination.26249/
....
I keep reading books etc that tell me about the power of prayer and talk about praying but I never really can understand what is meant by praying. Is it talking to 'God' (whatever that means), is it asking the universe for stuff, is it just sitting in silence, or what? I wondered whether my interactions with Yi could count as praying since divination is, literally, or etymologically at least, communicating with the divine. Not when you simply ask future questions, but if you really sit with the energy that us almost palpable through yi.

Anyway, I asked 'is prayer being in contact with the divine or is it asking for something?' 49.1 > 31 (bound with the hide of a yellow ox...?)
Then I asked: 'What is the purpose of prayer?' 12.5 > 35 (cease the hindrance)
'How does one pray?' 11uc (peace, heaven and earth unite)
'How does one find peace?' 25uc. (truthfulness, innocence)
'Is communicating with Yi a form of prayer?' 9.1.4 > 44 (return to the way, fear gives way - 44 is an encounter - with what?)

What I understand from this is that communication with yi is a means of dealing with anxiety while prayer is a way of actively transmuting a problem into its solution. Prayer is achieved through oneness with heaven (or the divine), which isn't the same as asking for things (or even speaking at all).

I'm not sure I'm totally clear on what prayer is but I've got a little food for thought, at least.
