How does Hexagram 6 apply to my question?

Judgment: "CONFLICT. You are sincere and are being obstructed. A cautious halt halfway brings good fortune. Going through to the end brings misfortune. It furthers one to see the great man. It does not further one to cross the great water." Image: "Heaven and water go their opposite ways: the image of CONFLICT. Thus in all his transactions the superior man carefully considers the beginning." In Shao Yong’s reading, the opposing forces of Heaven (☰) and Water (☵) signal a clash now, while the changing lines transform the hexagram to 58 (Lake over Water), whose autumn/west timing (2‑3 months) predicts a shift toward harmony by early autumn if you heed the advice of the ‘great man’—your skilled lawyer.

Changing lines: 5, 6 → Hexagram 5

Act with measured counsel; a positive shift is likely by early autumn (≈2‑3 months).

The Hexagram Speaks

Hexagram 6 (Contention) shows a clash between your sincere defense and obstructive forces. The upper Heaven and lower Water symbolize opposing currents, warning against forcing a resolution now. Changing lines turn the hexagram into 58 (Joy), indicating a turn toward harmony, but only after a period of waiting. Expect a decisive movement within 2‑3 months, likely by late October.
