Hi,
One of my friends had a successful business during 2024. Question: will she have the same success in 2025?
Response: 9.3 -61.
Any idea?

I am going to make a try to interpret. Of course we wait for the answer of the master or expert in the field, but maybe we can all learn through trying and maybe other members can join.
Hexagram 9, Wind and Clouds/ Passive Restraint, changes, by the changing line 3, into Hexagram 61, Inner Truth.
Hexagram 9 predicts, based on others' interpretations (Legge, Wilhelm/ Baynes, Blofield, Liu, Ritsema/ Karcher, etc) success. At least to some extent, as, according to Blofeld, "The wind blowing across the heavens does not have the nourishing virtues of rain, but it refreshes us and makes us feel better. Thus, if things are going reasonably well with us, we may expect an improvement, especially in the future when, presumably, the nourishing rain will fall."
For Liu, this means: "Taming the Small Powers: success. Thick clouds come from the west. No rain. [This situation symbolizes the preparation which precedes a new development.]"
Maybe the business is going towards some change, towards a new phase, maybe your friend needs to consider change management, as projects and businesses always need this, and she should take into account the context and competition from similar businesses.
When it comes to changing line 3, though, according to Confucius/Legge: "Line three is like a husband who cannot maintain correctly his relations with his wife." Not sure what this means, Maybe relationship with sponsors?
Hexagram 61, refers to sincerity, inward confidence, "Take the middle road and avoid extremes." -- D.F. Hook. Maybe your friend needs to consider the situation carefully. Legge says, "There will be advantage in crossing the great stream. There will be advantage in being firm and correct." I am thinking firm and correct refers to taking rules and laws into account? They are crucial for businesses and projects. Or maybe this refers to relationships with team members, collaborators? Aspects a project manager should take into account at any time.

Thanks for your interpretation, Ana.
It seems to me that line 3 is a bad prediction. Still I don't know how to connect it with 61 which offers a good prediction.

Hexagram 9 line 3.

The third NINE, undivided, suggests the idea of a carriage, the strap beneath which has been removed, or of a husband and wife looking on each other with averted eyes.

Hexagram 61 Judjment.

Kung Fû (moves even) pigs and fish, and leads to good fortune. There will be advantage in crossing the great stream. There will be advantage in being firm and correct.

Any other idea?

I think the I Ching IS not so much predicting as describimg a situation. 

Like saying:"that eay things are there WONT be inmediate progress, but It is going that way. "

Line three is pointing at the boss not being able to handle humain resourses properly. There is a changed of attitude needed.

Hesitation IS bad. They need to know exactly what they want, explain It clearly to the crew and then go for It!

The fact that they needed to consult the I Ching at all points to this.

Enjoy!

Teo

The i ching was use as predicting device since its incipit. There are many instances as proof for this.
Anyway fact is that my friend business is one person business, therefore there's no crew involved.

We may consider, from my point of view, that it is not a prediction saying that everything is doomed to failure and nothing can be done about it. Line 3 shows that your friend can have difficulties but there is always a solution which, once found, can help keep the business successful. It may not be as easy as in 2024, though. If the problem is not addressed and ignored, the business may no longer be successful. There may be issues beyond human control in a business, from the political and economic situation to natural hazards, even the way we interact with the others, and human relations are always involved, and should be considered, as dealing with other people can be difficult. The other people may be clients or stakeholders. We depend a lot on the others all the time, and on their reactions.

I am not sure you understand what a prediction device is and do.
Anyway it doesn't care about philosophy but facts. What is and what will be. It is a magical/ mystical tool, and doesn't care about logic.
One must translate its answers in actual facts and not err talking about general principles.
I ching may direct one to a specific acting   but we have to discover what is about.
This is called interpretation. The most difficult part of the divination.

If you´re not open to opinions different than yours, maybe you shouldn´t ask .
