if 29 will always be inherently a part of this situation ? I can't say I think this may be a case where a little more detail on the situation behind the question may help people here to give more feedback ? I'm interested in what others think too. How do we take 29 unchanging ? You could have a look in the hexagram index to see what others have said about it inthe past. If you haven't found that yet go to the top right of the page and click search then hexagram index. Hilary says often an unchanging hexagram is asking you a question. I checked out what she wrote the question for 29 was in her book and she has suggested you ask yourself what you are sure of in this situation and how can you keep on moving through it. Because in 29 you have to keep moving, responding as you find yourself in danger over and over again. As for leaving the situation well its not that 29 advises withdrawal exactly, it can be quite an exhilerating ride, if scary...but if i threw it unchanging over a situation I guess I'd either take it as "This is how it is, you have to deal with it as it is and theres no easy way around it, it means negotiating each challenge as it comes up with full awareness..and aliveness " I say aliveness because theres nothing like 29 to let you know you are alive
