50 uc

Hello.
I got out of a relationship last april. I haven't heard from him since. Now there is a week that I'm still thinking about him, I'd like to meet him or to call. But I will not do that, because he is not a shy or indecisive guy, if he want something, he act...and he never called me.
So I asked: Why do I keep thinking about him?50uc
I don't know what to think...
I'm working on myself, to change some things. And the decision not to hear him anymore, it's a part of this work.
I think hex 50 is positive, but I don't want to move towars him. I'd like to move towards something new: new thoughts, new ways to behave.
Maybe I'm putting wood under this fire that should be extinguished...
Thank you for any suggestions.

so the question for my friend is : will she learn quickly how to drive the car?28.3.5.6>64 Third line: The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. Misfortune.5th line: A withered poplar puts forth flowers. An older woman takes a husband. No blame. No praise.Line 6th: One must go through the water. It goes over one's head. Misfortune. No blame.to me she there will be paranoia exceeding or she will be under pressure and do bad The guide says that if there are 3 lines we can consider the second hexagram. The second hexagram is 64, so: Success. But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing, gets his tail in the water, there is nothing that would further.Yes I think she will learn but has to be very careful not repeting mistakes again or being in a rush. Rush is the worst alliance

Hex 60.2.5 to 24 - what is the urgent warning in line 2?

Hello everyone, some of you may be familiar with my long-term situation as I have posted on here about it many times before. Cutting a long story short, I have been in conflict with the father of my son for many years but especially over the lat 2 years, since my now 11 year old son reported at school that his father has been hitting him, which resulted in social services involvement (with are based in the UK) and multiple court battles to try and get my son to be listened to by the legal system (my son has been asking for a reduced contact). A social worker (my son's guardian) has finally produced a report, recommending a reduced contact, the father does not want to accept it so we have been in and out of court. My son suffers as a result of this conflict and seems torn between two parents fighting. One day he says he doesn't want to see his father any more, the next he says that he does. His behaviour is deteriorating, he is suffering socially and becoming more and more insecure. We were supposed to have the final hearing at the end of June but as the guardian was on holiday and could not testify, the hearing was moved to November! The last judge was very unpleasant, criticising both parents for not being able to agree but I made it clear from day one that I am happy to accept the social worker's recommendations.

Anyway, I'm tearing my hair out at the moment, unsure how to help my son. I am considering trying to move the hearing forward so this conflict could be brought to an end, I am also considering changing my legal team. It hurts me to see my son in the middle of it and struggling.

I have asked the Yi: What would your best advice be regarding my son at present? I received Hex 60.2.5 to 24. I'm worried about the urgent warning associated with line 2: "He who hesitates is lost" Wu Wei says: There are opportunities at hand that require immediate action, but you are not acting... Limiting your activities at this time time will cause you to miss your chance and could have dangerous consequences"

What am I not doing? I'm trying to be as proactive as possible, trying to bring this horrendous conflict to an end. The judge said that I am to promote my son's contact with his father so I am not allowed to say anything to him, although I know he is at a risk of emotional abuse. I cannot see any obvious opportunities I am not acting on, so I asked again: What urgent opportunities should I be taking advantage of? I received Hexagram 17. 3 to 49. I know line 3 tends to be interpreted as a need to take a more adult approach (perhaps I'm overprotecting my son, where it is not needed?) but perhaps I should interpret this line as a more direct translation - Bound to the mature man (my ex, who is quite a bit older than me), Lets go the small child (my son), Following gains what it seeks, Harvest in constancy in settling". How on earth am I to interpret this? Should I try to agree to my ex's demands and let him have my son more?? This situation is bringing about too much anxiety for me so I cannot see clearly. Your input would be much appreciated! With gratitude.

Hexagram 26.2 to 22 - relationship question

Hello everyone! I am new in this forum and this is my first post.
So, I asked the Yi "What should I know about whether my ex cheated on me while we were still together?" and I got hexagram 9 unchanging. I interpreted it as "restrained", meaning he didn't cheat, but the word "minor" disturbed me. Could it mean that he did not restrain himself completely? Or that I should not pay attention to details? I decided to become more specific and I asked the Yi "What should I know about whether my ex slept with or touched another woman?", so that I can exclude the possibility of harmless flirting and I got 26.2 to 22. Okay, major restraint probably means he did nothing, at least to my mind. But what about 22? Could that mean that he admired the beauty of women around him but did not act on it?
He broke up with me years ago and we are currently friends on the way to something more. I asked him if he cheated and he said no, but I don't know if I can trust him.
I would appreciate your thoughts and interpretations!

Hexagram 24 - What do the dead think of the living?

I've been incredibly sentimental lately ... the anniversary of a friend's tragic death is just days away, and so I asked all of the requisite questions regarding his souls' journey, etc., but I thought that it'd be helpful to someone to share what Yi had to say when I asked "What do the dead think of the living?"

Yi answered: hexagram 24 (Returning)

This has me wondering about reincarnation, of course ... Hilary describes it as being similar to breathing, and in my experience getting this unchanging hexagram, there is this feeling of being in a natural atmosphere to it, as well.

I'd love to know what any of you think ...

As a single woman for the past seven years, i've reached a milestone in career and personal life, content and confident. So, I'm considering now whether I should welcome a partnership into my life. I'll be moving soon, and traveling more in my future. I'm feeling like this is a transition and am excited for some external change to mirror my inner process.Question: Should I opt for my current personal solo life, or pursue and be open to welcoming a partner/husband.Yi's answer, 32.1.2 to 55I'm new to this, but it has given a lot of food for thought and generally is pointing me in the appropriate direction, I believe. Love to hear your interpretation! Thank you from a newcomer!

6 stones / 2-toss method

Hello everybody,Sorry for my poor English, but I will try to be as clear as possible.I started I ching about 1 year ago and instead of using coins, I preferred to use flat round pebbles that I found on the beach. It is easy to set a yin or yang side and if both sides are alike, it is possible to mark them differently.In the beginning, I used my 3 pebbles the same way as coins, but I found it was somewhat tedious and long to throw them six times so as to make a complete hexagram.From there, I searched for other 3 pebbles and eventually got 6 stones (it could be six different coins organized in 3 sets of pairs).The method I use, and have not found anywhere else on the web is as follows :each pair of pebble can represent either Yin or Yang, Old Yin, Old Yang (as I have conventionally determined on each pebble what is Yin, what is Yang) and have a definite place:the first pair (conventionally distinguished by its colors or general characteristics) is the first line of the trigram, the second pair, the second line, and the third pair, the third line of the trigram : each toss can be Yg/Yg, Yn/Yn, Yg/Yn, Yn/Yg.When the six pebbles are tossed the first time, I have a direct reading of the trigram, when tossed the second time, I get the second trigram.It is a great gain of time and it is very simple. Of course, it's important that each pair of pebbles keep the same position in hierarchy and pairing.Has anyone of you tried such method ?Thanks,Eric.

Relationship 36.5>63

Hello,I got into a whirlwind relationship where everything seems to be perfect except I am not satisfied sexually. We have an emotional, spiritual connection and I love spending time with him, everything I'd want in a partner. It is a trusting relationship albeit very new (a few weeks, most days we spent together traveling). One problem is he has some issues with sex and needs more time. At first I agreed to that but it's eating me on the inside. So i'm very torn of what to do here... It is worrying me and both of us, killing my passion a little and i'm more concerned for the future like that. I asked iching, how it will affect me if i keep the relationship going like this? 36.5>63 And asked what how it will affect me if I stopped the relationship now? 28.6>44 So...first it seems that I'd put up with my dissatisfaction now and reach some state of balance? Not sure if it is talking strictly about me or a relationship.What does the second mean for me, that I will give up and 44 meet someone else? Thank you

62, 10 & feeling paralyzed by decision making

I'm at a juncture in life that feels like it requires a lot of bigger picture decision making. There are upcoming opportunities at work that would involve relocating (potentially even internationally) and I am struggling to feel clarity about what I want my next professional steps to be, as well as what kind of place I would be willing to move to pursue those opportunities. My partner of more than a decade wants to settle down and start a family; I always thought I wanted children eventually but now I feel unsure of that (the upcoming job opportunities aren't helping). We have been questioning whether there is a shared future together that would make us both happy; to top it off, I've recently developed feelings for a friend that feel a lot more like love than friendship and have become impossible to ignore. Up until this point in my life, I have tended to feel a good deal of clarity about my direction in life and what I wanted my next steps to be. Suddenly I'm feeling utterly adrift and completely unsure of what I want out of the next phase of life -- who I want it to be with, where I want it to take place, what my priorities are. Life has been simple and stable for me for a long time, and now that is coming to an end and I am struggling to find my direction. I feel a bit embarrassed to be posting this online, even anonymously, but that's where I'm at in my life right now -- boy could I use the Yi's help and boy could I use your help interpreting the Yi's advice.

I asked the Yi what feels to me like the big question: "What is it that I actually want for this next phase of life? What is it I'm trying to move towards?'

I received 62.1.3.5 to 17 - and then upon asking for clarification, received 10.4 to 61.
The first reading seems to be about taking small steps rather than making big changes, and being open to just following how things are going rather than forcing things. The second reading feels like it's reflecting my desire to take some risks -- maybe bigger steps -- and use these experiences to cultivate further insight into myself. In a way, it feels like the Yi has just reflected my ambivalence about what to do next back to me! What do you see in these readings? Thank you so much in advance.

63.2.5 to 11 If I do nothing right now will X reach out?

Hello,I just wanted to know if X would reach out to me if I didn’t do anything. I’m very familiar with 63.2 (last year I asked if I would get contact from someone, and that person texted me 7 days later without me having to act). I got this text twice in a row recently but this time, no contact. Then I get 63.2.5 to 11 today. I hear this is auspicious, and I think line 2 is telling me to wait 7 days again. I’m confused with line 5 though. What is the summer sacrifice? It’s summer right now, and I’d like to know if the resulting hex 11 is telling me not to worry and to wait for him to contact me because he will in a week.

Broken friendship? 11.3 and more

Hello, a friend repeatedly invited me to visit him so I bought an expensive air ticket (despite having many doubts myself). After I bought the ticket, he started being colder, we had a discussion and we decided it was better for me to not go, but it was mostly him who - surprisingly - changed his mind. I expressed my disappointment, he apologized and we have not talked since.

I have asked the I Ching:

Is there any chance for us to ever talk again? 11.3 > 19
Is it possible that he will want to get in touch and us to be friends again, despite my NO contact, please? 2.1 > 24
Is he really going to send written explanations/apologies, as he said he would? 6.1,3,5 > 14
Is he seeing someone? 28.2,5
(interestingly, he is younger than me, as in the I Ching's answer here... and he told me he went out for drinks with another woman, one of the reasons I assumed he did not want me to visit him anymore)
Is there still potential for a romance? (besides developing a close friendship, there was a mutual attraction) 58 unchanging

The answers seem contradictory to me, so I would like to hear your opinion about possible interpretations.
Thank you for your help.

hello this is my first post here. My father had a company that accumulated a huge debt. Now it went onto me and my brother. Part of this large sum (and taxes on it) is growing. I am living in another country now and there is a chance that my part will go void due to being out of date, five years are needed for that. So I received Hex 64 changing line 4 going to Hex 4 when I asked shall I wait until it goes out of date? What does that mean? My other question and option is to ask the judge to split the debt into smaller installments and pay it this way when I asked the I ching if I should do that I received Hex 56.3>35 I am a beginner with this system can someone guide me to what those answers mean?

22 as relating hex (from 56)

Hi everyone!I asked Yi to give me a hexagram showing me the place I could take (where I should stand) to face a difficult situation I'm going through, with the idea of getting out of it. I also had in mind something like What my strengths are to hold to here an now. The answer was 56.1.4 to 22. The fire above the mountain is a great image for me in this situation. It is crystal clear: my place is the place of a wanderer, I'm passing by, this is my place. The lines change so that now the fire is down in the middle of the mountain. I'm sure there is so much meaning there that I am not able to grasp.Are there images or ideas that come to your mind and would like to share with me and help me get a broader meaning? I think the answer is so beautiful!Thanks in advance for your help.All very best,

Responding to shared readings: 24 UC

I have been trying my hand at helping people with their readings, but then it occurred to me: should I really be trying to help people? Am I really qualified?
So, I asked "What will be the result if I keep responding to shared readings in spite of my inexperience?"

I received Hexagram 24: Return (The Turning Point)

I have been lurking here off and on since 2013-14ish, but I haven't been consistent. The last time I was on was when I was struggling with school (Mid 2017). Now I've returned. Is this the Yi's way of telling me to go back the way I came? :(

Or is the Yi stating that I have returned to one of the sources of wisdom in my life?

Seems likely this could refer to returning to this forum and to the Oracle in general.

Any feedback is appreciated.

34 2.6 > Holiday worries

Hi everyone,

I've been back and forthing about this issue for some time now and asked the IChing a final time before embarking on this holiday with my girlfriend. Its a bit complicated but bear with..

Back in April, my girlfriend bought me tickets to go to Barcelona (in July/August) with her as a gift for my birthday. I was moved by the gesture as she doesn't earn much, but in a time of financial/job uncertainty, I was also a bit apprehensive about being able to come up with the funds by then. Since then, I've been earning more, things are on the mend but not out the woods yet..Unfortunately, he holiday has fallen at a time where I've had to move out and had to attend to so many expenses, many of which unforeseen, and things haven't been going so smoothly, which has made it difficult for me to go without indebting myself further.

Following this, The problem was also that she also extended this holiday by changing plans slightly by going to another destination first and then going to Barcelona (At first it seemed it would cost us much due to contacts she has, but expenses have amounted since). She took care of the tickets but the holiday has doubled and now that we are close to the departure date, I can only go if I borrow money from her and a member of her family who has organised the first part of the trip. With all my other commitments, this holiday will cost me a lot. And borrowing from her and her sister isn't the best situation to be in despite her assurances.

We argued about this twice, and it transpired that she really needs me to be there for the first part of the holiday for support as she will be receiving her exams results that she's been working so hard for and she's worried if they go bad, she won't have me to help her through it. On the other hand, I suggested to come for the second half (Barcelona) which will give me more time to earn a bit more and not be in so much debt (although I will still reimburse eventually for the wasted tickets). So seeing how she feels strongly about me being there, and having talked through the finances etc, I've decided to go (we leave on Wednesday!).

We've had a difficult relationship and external stressors to deal with. We were both looking forward to this, but the timing isn't great. She says, the love and support is there to make it happen, and finances can be sorted without too much pressure later. But a bit worried how this will affect me further down the line.

Of course, this is the most simplified summary I can give of the situation (believe it or not haha!). But would really appreciate any input to understand the reading further.

I ask the Yi to "Please advise me on the upcoming holiday" and received 36.2.4 > 34

Thank you all in advance!!
