Hello friends, I havent heard from this person for awhile after I stopped communicating with him. He did something to upset me and Im sure he knows Im angry at him. The resulting hexagram was 45.4 to 8. Im not sure what that means other than us gathering together for a meeting? Dont know how we will be gathering together unless he texts first, line 5 seems positive in regards to his feelings for me. If anyone can help me figure this out id be grateful.

How does he feel about me and will he text me? 45.4

living situation options: 55.1 > 62 / 15.2 > 46
Hello :) First of all, as Ive been reading this forum for a good few years but havent actually posted anything until now, Id like to say thank you for this space and everybodys insights, since its been a great deal of help on my life journey with the I Ching.
I have a big decision to make, thats to do with my living situation, and been postponing asking I Ching for help almost up until the agreed with the other party deadline. And, as its kind of a complex story, I simply had the biggest trouble formulating the right question. Eventually I ended up going back to the beginners section for help and, still having all related issues in mind, just asked the I Ching - what best to do about the apartment? The feedback was surprising and a little confusing: 55.1 > 62. I took it as more of an indication about what best not to do, or how not to act, instead of a solid direction, though the initial abundance moving towards preponderance of the small, in simplest terms, after all, brings sizing down to mind (and most likely having to move at some point).
I felt a bit uneasy with the warnings of repeated misfortune, so I wrote down an offer Id be comfortable to make during a meeting later this week, as the final decision will have to eventually be compromised and the meeting itself marks the deadline. I then asked what if I stand by this offer and 15.2 > 46 was the answer.
In both cases I feel that the meeting has a great chance of success, especially with the 2nd reading which in one line seems reassuring, that my preparation and what I bring to the table is just enough, or maybe just right. Im still not sure how to read the overall advice, though. First answer, hex 62 seems to tell me that maybe I shouldnt assume anything in my further actions, thus maybe do not let myself fully trust the other party? The other, hex 46 warns me against pushing too blindly. Could it mean pushing too hard for my own vision? Or would it rather mean pushing ahead without a clear vision? :confused: Maybe both? :D
I also seem to read from this, that Im currently in no position of authority and, as ownership is at stake, my initial gut feeling, that led to decision to let go of owning a place and possibly go back to renting, feels in line with the lines But then as I read my own words, seeing the verb downsize brings yet another idea to mind - that of remaining (a partial) owner but somehow swapping my apartment for another one. In most options however, I seem to remain somewhat dependent on the other party
Do you have any suggestions regarding ways of gaining more understanding into my best options? Would you recommend asking consecutive what if questions, to learn more about possible outcomes of each? I often find it ever more confusing, hence avoided it in this situation so far
And although the pressure for making some final decision is high, I need to take into consideration that the matter might remain unresolved for quite some time. I personally see it in both readings, with each giving a first direct one-line answer regarding now - making up my mind and coming to a conclusion during the meeting. And resulting hexagrams then serve as illustrations for later dealings with that conclusion.
I really hope some of this makes sense... :bag: I would love to hear your words of wisdom.

About a football match: 1.3.4.6 -> 60
One month ago I asked I Ching about a football match, here in Italy, between Inter FC and Lazio FC, crucial for Champions League. I Chings answer was 1.3.4.6 -> 60.
Inter FC had only to win to achieve Champions League, for Lazio FC a draw was enough. Inter FC won the match 3-2 in the last minutes, after Lazio FC was winning 2-1. Inter FC risked to lose for a long time of the match, but didnt give in and catched the victory at the end.
Im a fun of Inter FC and read I Chings response from Inter FC point of view: the question was what will happen to Inter FC in the match with Lazio FC?. Before the match, I interpreted 1.3 as a dangerous situation for Inter FC, who (line 4) will dance in the abyss for a long time. I meant 1.6 as a final adverse result for Inter FC, overbearing dragon that would regret. Instead, the overbearing dragon was ... Lazio FC.
The response of I Ching was not from the point of view of Inter FC: if I mean, I Ching gave me a scenic overview of the match, not defining which team was the overbearing dragon ...
What do you think?

"Either/Or" questions...
A few days ago I put an "either/or" question to the I Ching, and I'm a bit stonkered with the answer it returned.
Background:
I study Yang family tai chi as my primary martial art. Yang tai chi is mostly known for its graceful "empty-hand" form but it also has a form for the Chinese straight sword (called a jian). There are other such forms for the jian, one of which attracted my interest. It is a Wudang style and as such, is more "lively" than the one used in tai chi. I find each style attractive in its own way but I also understand that I should learn one first and then the other.
My question to the I Ching was which one I should devote my time and energy to first. It returned the following response:
12:3:4:6:39
I get the impression the I Ching is giving me a completely different way to look at the question, but I'm at a loss as to what that different way might be.
Normally, if I have such a binary question and there's no clear advantage or hazard to either choice, I'll flip a coin (reserving veto rights if I reconsider or get new information). I suppose I should have known the I Ching would point me in an unexpected direction.
Grateful for any insight - thanks in advance!

49.1 to 31, Debt owed?
Hello, I am confused with this reading. This guy owes me something and Im waiting to hear back from him. I asked the ic if he would pay back his debt to me (its not a monetary type of debt, but just something he has to complete for me) and received 49.1 to 31. I understand 31 as some sort of attraction (he does like me very much), but I dont understand line 1 of 49. Is it telling me to wait because he will pay back this debt? Please let me know your thoughts, thanks!

15.3 - to - 2 - Going to court - and very worried about making the right decision
Hello,
Could someone pls help with interpreting this? I have to go to court, and need to make a decision. I have been offered a settlement for my apt. its low, my lawyers suggest it and id be happy to be done with it. However - settling would mean losing my rent-stabilized apartment without a buyout. Upon friends advice I sought 2 additional opinions from lawyers - both said the settlement is terrible, and though it would involve more court appearances etc, I should stay the course for an adequate buyout.
Ive had a horrible year with my apt and a friends death - I want to move on (it feels right in my heart), but not in my mind, bc a buyout would be great, and I dont know what the future holds. 15.3 seems to advise wrapping things up? Unsure about 2. Thanks very much.

How do they know? 22.2.3.4..5.-10
The birds always wake up and start chirping here at 5:00 a.m. You could set your watch by them. I asked the I Ching, "How do they know how to do this?" If you consider 10. Treading on the tail of the tiger to represent the power of universal wisdom you get a pretty sweet answer:

What should I know about buying this boat? 64 changing to 17
Hi all,
I haven't consulted the iching for quite sometime. I'm thinking that maybe I asked two questions that are too similar, which in the past I avoided doing.
I've been looking for a new sailboat. I want to change up life and spend my time traveling the world. I found a unique situation in which the owner who built the boat for sale would mentor me while gaining experience offshore sailing. I've already put down the deposit for it, but upon looking for a surveyor I received a buyer beware speech which made me take pause. I can still back out but should decide soon.
I asked: "what should I know about buying Horizon?"
I received: 64 changing to 17.
So I immediately interpreted that as there's still another step before completion, which I assumed means the survey has to be completed before finalizing the deal.
So I asked another question in hope of getting clarity: "what should I know if I decide to purchase Horizon?"
I received: 58.6 changing to 10
Any thoughts how I should interpret line 6?

41.3.4.5 > 1 What about buying land in Oregon?
Hello, it's been awhile since I've actually posted but I use the resource of this website pretty often.
So a couple friends want me to buy some land in Oregon. I live on the other side of the USA currently, but I love the west coast. It is a very rural piece of land in the high desert, but there is a lot of green and a fresh spring. My friends have gardening and perhaps farming ideas for the land. There is 1.5 acres that they don't have the cash-flow for, but they don't want to lose it to somebody else as it is adjacent to their land. It's $110 per month which i can afford, but it's still a big commitment. Although I've known about this for about 6 weeks, we haven't had the time to sit down yet and completely iron things out. But I guess it's pretty cut and dry. I need to make a decision possibly today, as the other person that took over a few payments had to let it go because he has kids to support. Apparently this other person missed 2 months of payments, so the landlord is ready to move on.
I would most likely not be moving there any time too soon. But when I do, I don't think I'll be living there year-round. It would be ideal to have two residences someday, one in this very rural area. And another in closer to a bigger city. I actually have plans to travel the west coast this October. I wish I could make my decision then, because I haven't actually seen the land yet!! I have seen pictures, and I completely trust my friend. It is great land. Perhaps I'll look for a cheap flight and fly out in a few days to look at it. The timing of that isn't great, either though. I wish I had another 2-3 weeks. Perhaps we can talk to the landlord and work something out. I did suggest to my buddy that he and I split one payment in order to buy time.
As for the reading, I don't remember the exact question i posed. It was something like "what are the prospects of buying this land in Oregon" or "what about buying land in Oregon?" Hex 41.3.4.5 > 1. The part about the trio is interesting, there are three of us involved. And the image of "below the mountain is a lake" sure is fitting, since there is a spring below a hill to the front of the property. This reading seems like it's saying that buying this land would be a good move on my part. Am I right? Are there any warnings or anything I'm missing? The changing hexagram I take to mean either get on with the deal before it's too late, or it could also mean that buying this land will help me creatively because it is a dream of mine to have something to do with owning or being somehow a big part of a farm to table experience, as in either having a restaurant on the property of a farm/garden (or very near) or simply supplying a restaurant some food.
Thanks for your time and attention!

Will it be beneficial if I contact her back again? Hex 33.1.3.4.5>27
Good morning all,Here's the situation (I try to keep it short and sorry if the formating goes bad)Approx 8-9 months ago one of the female colleagues at my workplace left- I sensed that she is deep down negative and somewhat toxic (she claims to be abused sexually when young and I felt she hates men). I invited her for a tea, just out of curiousness to double-check my understanding of I ching - the Oracle advised me against the meeting. And it was right (d'oh!) because she wad cold, closed and after I opened myself up a bit (as a colleague, shes married and there was no sexual attraction) as we shared a bit of a connection. I don't like to be personal entertainer of anyone, and so I was deliberately waiting to see if she will say something to me. She never did. She never ever contacted me back afterwards. Not even a single ''hello how are you doing'' on FB. Time passed. Due to not having any strong ally at my workplace and my local friends being also undeveloped and somewhat weak, I had a rather silly thought, maybe I should contact her back. Of course, I expected I ching to scald me for this reason. And the thing I don't fully understand in this casting is that it looks to me like the meaning I am reading is somewhat mixed. That doesnt make sense, so it must be my own error in reading.
Will it be beneficial if I contact her back again?
I received: Hex 33.1.3.4.5>27 I always read the top unchanging line if the casting shows 4 changing lines, this is one of the systems and I have found it to be somewhat logical.
Hex 33 LINE 6 Legge: The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect. Blofeld: In this case, there cannot be the smallest doubt. Wing: You are sufficiently removed from the situation and able to Retreat without guilt or doubt. Here you are blessed with great good fortune. You will find rewarding success in your endeavors.
Hex 27 Line-6Legge: The sixth line, dynamic, shows him from whom comes the nourishing. His position is perilous, but there will be good fortune. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream. Wilhelm/Baynes: The source of nourishment. Awareness of danger brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
So this to me sounds like I should retreat, withdraw from the situation and have no doubts about this. Crossing the great water means starting some big projects, actions etc - so this part I don't understand. But I think it says 'don't do it'. Then I asked again...
Will it be beneficial if I do not contact her back again?
I received: Hex 1.3.6>58
Hex 1 interpetations , Line 3- Legge: In the third line, dynamic, we see its subject as the superior man active and vigilant all the day, and in the evening still careful and apprehensive. The position is dangerous, but there will be no mistake. Legge: In the exercise of his caution he will refrain from any improper action. Siu: The man's fame begins to spread. Such periods of transition are always unsettling. There is tension in the air. But the man retains his integrity and avoids being swept along by the masses, which flock to him. He remains active, vigilant, careful, and apprehensive. The prevention of mistakes under perilous circumstances is ever on his mind.
Hex 1 Line-6Wilhelm/Baynes: The source of nourishment. Awareness of danger brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water. Legge: The sixth dynamic line shows its subject as a dragon exceeding the proper limits. There will be occasion for repentance.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent. Blofeld: A willful dragon has cause for regret. Wing: Your ambitions far exceed the possibilities of your Creative Power. If you pursue this dream you will lose touch with reality and lose contact with your community. You will no longer know how to behave appropriately and will ultimately regret your actions.
This is the part I dont understand. Who is the arrogant dragon - me or her? I would say its her. But nevertheless, it doesnt sound right.
Hex 58 Line-3 Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows its subject bringing round herself whatever can give pleasure. There will be evil. Wilhelm/Baynes: Coming joyousness. Misfortune. Wing: Total abandonment to outside pleasures and diversions is only momentarily fulfilling. These indulgences in idle distractions will surely bring misfortune. True happiness will be found in the person full of his own nature.
Hex 58 Line-6 Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows the pleasure of its subject in leading and attracting others. Wilhelm/Baynes: Seductive joyousness. Wing: You are totally given over to external conditions. Your sense of well-being springs not from within, but from what satisfaction you can find in the outside world. Because of this you are subject to the mercy of chance and the fates of others.
I believe I should not contact her because it won't be based on anything honest, only the need of my ego, and that she is indeed toxic and there's nothing for me to find there. Again I apologize for the formating posting in bulk like this but somehow the Chrome doesnt cut the lines correctly.

Shall I soon start to look for another job? Hex 4.2>23
So I am still in the same work due to slight pay rise.. but the people are negative and toxic and on some days its just too much. I asked the oracle and received this casting... I think that line 2 in Hex 4 says that I am a person competent to handle the situation
Wing: The person in this position has indeed developed in himself a true appreciation of humanity in all of its folly and beauty. Such a person can lead others with wisdom, compassion, and inspiration, and attain all the success attributed to the great and wise historical leaders.
but then Hex 23 line 2 says:
Wilhelm/Baynes: The bed is split at the edge. Those who persevere are destroyed. Misfortune.Blofeld: He continues peeling off at the edge of the bed. There is no steadfastness -- misfortune! Blofeld: This implies being left without friends.
So this sounds somewhat terribly bad. What would you say?

Should I go to my job summer party ? LOST READING Hex 2.6>23
Hello! The question is whether I should go to work party organized by my workplace at a different location in the city. The thing is that I've lost the casting details yesterday and I am not sure whether it was
Hex 23.6>2 or Hex 2.6>23
... I know, my bad .. Anyway I believe that the casting says it will be beneficial for superior man - which I aspire to be
Confucius/Legge: The superior man finds himself in a carriage: he is carried along by the people. The inferior men have over-thrown their own dwellings, which can never again be of use to them. Wilhelm/Baynes: Dragons fight in the meadow. Their blood is black and yellow.Wing: The forces of Deterioration have ended. The power will return to persons of worthwhile vision, who will again win the support of others. Inferior persons are destroyed by their own evil, for without power, negativity is self-consuming.
but what is the uneaten fruit?
Liu: A large fruit not eaten. The superior man acquires a carriage. The inferior man's house falls apart.
and why the other Hex talks about fighting dragons and exhaustion of merit?
Cleary(1): Dragons battle in the field; the blood is dark yellow. Confucius/Legge: The onward course indicated by The Magnetic is pursued to extremity. Wilhelm/Baynes: The way comes to an end. Blofeld: The dragons contend, for their stock of merit is exhausted. Ritsema/Karcher: Their tao exhausted indeed. Cleary(2): The path reaches an impasse. Wu: Their destiny has come to an end.
does this say there will be conflicts with negative people from my team?
Quote:
Hex 23.6>2 or Hex 2.6>23
Quote:
Confucius/Legge: The superior man finds himself in a carriage: he is carried along by the people. The inferior men have over-thrown their own dwellings, which can never again be of use to them. Wilhelm/Baynes: Dragons fight in the meadow. Their blood is black and yellow.Wing: The forces of Deterioration have ended. The power will return to persons of worthwhile vision, who will again win the support of others. Inferior persons are destroyed by their own evil, for without power, negativity is self-consuming.

What should I know about being mentored by X? Hex 21 unchanging
I posted recently about trying to decide on whether to purchase a boat. Part of the appeal is that the owner has agreed to train/teach me everything about the boat he built, how to operate it, maintain it, etc. This person is impressively accomplished at what I hope to do in the near future, having written a couple books and magazine articles on the subject--not to mention he built an impressive vessel from a bare hull.
So I consult the IC on what to expect if I go through with it and received 21 with no changing lines.
I found this quote from Sorrells posted here 5 years ago:
"Intention without reservation is needed to overcome obstacles in your path."
As well as this one from Hilary:
There's a time for reaching the truth, and a time for expressing it. Biting through, you take the situation into yourself, 'chew it over' and digest it; Beauty will bring out it's pure plain essence.
And this one resonated the most, especially the last two sentences. It's a quote from Wing posted by Trojina:
There is an inner storm that has been raging for some time around the object of your inquiry. The lower trigram, CHEN, movement, is struggling upward, sparking brilliance in the upper trigram LI. This dramatic coming together of the two strong elemental forces creates a tremendous cacaphony and, eventually, release, just as thunder and lightning bring the release of static tensions before a storm. Without changing lines, a radical REFORM is necessary in your life. It will cause spectacular reaction but will release the tensions that hold you back from your aims.
Something is certainly holding me back in my life presently. I've become very indolent, struggling to accomplish most goals. Hence I'm interrupting 21 as radical reform of my mindstate/behavoir is necessary if I'm going to get anything out of this relationship with the potential mentor. I think it's telling me to stop coping and start forcing myself to work harder to achieve something meaningful. Biting through in the instance may mean working hard in face of my bad habits that have made me soft and lazy.
Any thoughts? Am I on the right track?
Thanks for reading.

Was I right to act as I did? 14.5
Hello All, I am new to this forum. I have been learning so much from reading others shared readings and I keep wondering when I will feel compelled to join in with something. Seems like the time is now, so here goes....I have a friend who I have been fairly close with for about a year. I am a woman and he is a male. To me it has always been a friendship and nothing more, and I have been very straightforward about not wanting a relationship with him, and sometimes had to be more blunt than I felt was necessary. With him, he did want something more and was not shy about expressing it (verbally only). Since we have much in common we would talk fairly frequently and share experiences in the spiritual and psychic realms, and about things in our life, and also work on various projects together. I thought that once I was clear with him that he would get over wishing for something more, and he would insist that he was ok with everything, and didnt feel rejected. But I dont think he was being entirely honest, really, just once in a while I would encounter that he was still holding out hope. I told him that it made me uncomfortable, but that is not what made me very suddenly draw the line and basically tell him that I was withdrawing and did not want to be friends with him any longer, though I did list this as one of the main reasons, that I was tired of feeling uncomfortable about this, along with other things. It was of a bunch of small things that he did which really werent so bad, but taken all together just rubbed me the wrong way. He has been a good and loyal friend and I respect his integrity. But there is a nagging part of me that does not, but I have no proof really. I dont know if the pressure of being on one end of unrequited love was just too uncomfortable for me, and I conflagrated it onto these other things, but in the end I made my mind up to cut him out of my life, at least not to be the kind of close friends who talk and see each other frequently as before. In the meantime that we havent been talking, for several weeks except for when we had to text eachother some logistical things, like about a drawing I did for the cover of his literary journal, or practical matters that needed communicating about. So recently he says I should tell you that I am dating somebody new...I wrote back that I was happy for him. Its interesting because I had often expressed that to him, why dont you ask your co worker who seems to like you out, or someone else, thinking it would be easier for me if he had someone to fill that role. So, here he was saying that he was dating and I texted point blank, I still do not want to be friends with you. I felt (slightly)bad or mean. in the first place like it was maybe overkill, and then another tiny bit bad in the second place when he delivered the news, because he had apperantly poked a giant hole in one of my reasons for absconding- that I felt uncomfortable with his inappropriate feelings. But I still wanted to stick to my guns...it is kind of mysterious to me I just feel I should follow it. But I have been known to make wrong decision before. (Many, many of them). Even though I dont feel I should my mind so much, I thought I would ask the Yi...my exact question was was I right to do what I did towards him?The answer 14 line 5 Your truth interacts, strikes awe, good fortuneTo hexagram 1 the creative.So I suppose I can take that as a yes?I dont think I struck any awe in him, I know that not every word is supposed to be applied so literally, but who is supposed to be having this awe?Does this reading seem to give validity to the undercurrent of discomfort and vague distrust I have about him, that I cant really put my finger on? Or does it only mean that for whatever reasons, it is correct for our friendship to end, at least for now.Or is there another aspect of this that I am missing maybe?

What is 14.1.3.4.6>7?
Hello again,I'm continuing my struggle with making the right decision regarding staying in the US or going to my home country when my visa expores.The reason is that things are not that easy with the company that can help renew my visa in a month, with relationships with some people in it, other fears and doubts. So I casted today:How would I feel within a year if I go to my home country? 53.4>33 How would I feel within a year if I stay and work on this job?14.1.3.4.6>7Well, it seems like if I go home, I will retreat? Things will develop slowly? And if I work here, I already got 14 in relation to this work, and then changing lines mean there will be different changes and developments and eventually I will be disciplined? Or feel controlled or in conflict? I am confused here I'd appreciate suggestions

How can I have Career Clarity? Hexagram 24.1 &3 w/ supporting hexagram 15
{{DATE: 01/07/2018}}{{TIME: 04:27}}{{TYPE: Yijing Reading}}{{TITLE: how can i have career clarity}}{{PRIMARY HEXAGRAM: 24}}{{LINE(S): 1 3}}{{NOTES: }}I like how both hexagrams are earth with something within: thunder within supported by mountain within. This seems like an auspicious reading and like I will soon know and attract beneficial people to help develop me. A bit concerned about the tone of 24.3 - perhaps it is a warning that I will regress or be complacent (too much "returning" and not enough forward movement). I am currently approaching my 5th month of sobriety so I am starting to fear relapse rather than desire it! The phrase "returning" makes me also think that I may return to the American town that I left or perhaps return to China (I'm chinese-american) --- in any case return to places that I have left which brings me joy because I miss most/all of them. I have been meditating and praying for geographic, relational, and career clarity for a long time and I feel like I have too many questions/intentions so in today's meditation I just set it all aside and opted for a simple request to the universe for self-acceptance (funny that I receive the supporting card of Integrity). I find it auspicious that shortly afterwards I gave a friend an I Ching reading and stumbled upon this website while researching the reading I was giving her. I decided to cast a reading for myself and I love that there's an option to share! I would be most curious to hear what other, more experienced readers think of this reading about what the most important thing I can do right now to achieve career clarity would be.:claps:

Remedy and hexagram 11 to 33
My dear Ichingers,
I have a busy busy life, lots of things to take care of, lots of goals to attain,
and I have this feeling that for me it is going verrry slowly, no fast or immediate results,
this bogs me down.
I asked the Iching if there is any cure to this and got 11.2.4.5.6 changing to 33.
Even this reply looks like my current situation!
What does this mean?
Any ideas are appreciated,
P.:bows:
