60.4.5>54 and 13.3.5>21 -- enstranged from a friend

Hello,

a dear friend of mine is very stressed and aloof these times. I was also not in the best mood when we still were in contact months ago and unfortunately couldn't deal well with her, so we had a mild conflict and are enstranged these days. I decided to accept her withdrawal completely and also withdrew, in order not to complicate things between us. Now, missing her, I am still and again tempted to contact her just for showing her that I still like her and that she is always welcome. That may sound like no harm could be done with such an innocent action, but I am not sure if she wouldn't find me intrusive.

I asked the Yi if I should just say hello without asking for further contact and it gave me the following answer:

60.4.5 > 54

I am not sure. Hex 54 as a background talks of my 'subordinate' position in our friendship right now,
line 4 suggest indeed to 'restrain' myself, but doesn't line 5 say that it would be okay to go and to contact her as long as I don't ask for anything? Or am I wrong and the Yi says that leaving the situation like it is will lead to successfully approaching her later?

I asked for further clarification and received 13.3.5 > 21

Okay, line 5 clearly speaks of the heart connection and that there is a great chance that eventually everything will be okay between us, but I am not sure about line 3. Does line 3 say in this context that the situation is too messed up to overcome and I should leave it for now? Or is the Yi encouraging me to 'bite trough' the obstacles and to try overcoming the enstrangement (at least a much as possible)

Thanks a lot in advance for your opinons - as you surely know it is often difficult to see clear when you are in the middle of a situation.

Best regards, equinox

53.1.2.6 > 5

On my previews post I wrote you about the unstable situation between me and my ex and I posted a question about my parent's reaction If I talk to them that we are back together.
Yes, we are trying to make a new start but the situation between us confuses me a lot. It's still so complicated and unstable and of course it is so difficult to fix something broken.

Will the situation between us be fixed?
Hexagram 53, changing lines 1,2,6 to hexagram 5

53 Gradual progress -
the marriage of a young lady

53.1 At the beginning there will be danger, there will be talk and the son (my ex)will be in danger. It could be obvious that there will be talk because of our reconciliation.
53.2 But after that we will eat and drink joyfully and at ease.
53.6 and we will perform the sacred dance or a sacred ceremony. I was always thinking that line could mean the ritual of wedding. I'm wondering what it means here.

I noticed the similarity between line 2 of hexagram 53 and that of hexagram 5.
Both are referred to eating and drinking happily.

I think the answer is really auspicious but I would like to know your interpretation. I don't want to raise false hopes.

Hello everyone,I just cast a reading for a question (I have been using the IChing for years) that it's pretty straightforward and received the most cryptic reply. I have been separated and now divorced for the last 3 and half years. I am done with the mourning period and I am so ready to move on,and start dating again. So I asked: What is the best course of action to attract a new love into my life? I received 47 with no moving lines!! I can assure I am not depressed, I don't feel constrained in any way, in general quite happy with my life, and I really do not know what to make of it. Sometimes I am so tempted to throw Wilhelm book out of the window,but of course I will not.
Can anybody help me to understand this reply?
Thank you very much in advance

Hello,
following an old post of November related to the job of my husband today I asked the help of the I ching again and I received hexagram 46.3 to 2.It seems good to me, maybe even too good to be true. But maybe I am wrong.
what do you see?
thanks as usual

Hi all! I have been out of work for quite some time now (no regular income) and I asked Yi to show me an hexagram to understand my present situation. The hexagram describing was 28.5 to 32 (You are exhausted and nothing bears fruit, but life is change?) So I asked what behaviour did 28.5 to 32 need from me: 33.3.4.5 to 23!(Retreat and watch it/yourself degrade/die?) So I asked What should I retreat from, exactly? Answer: 31.4.5.6 to 52 Retreat from your intent to influence the situation and calm down?)Can you help me make sense here?Thanks in advance!

Scenarios with a preliminary condition

Hi all,

I have a fairly technical question here, and since I wasn't able to word it in general terms I will just put an example (wait, I was eventually able to actually word it :D... go to the last paragraph if you want to skip the example):

Let's say I want to go with my son to a particular place in a trip, and that if we go he will need to skip a day of school. Since I only have shared custody of my son, I will need to ask his mother first if she is ok with him skipping a day of school. So, if I ask the I Ching about the outcome of my trip with my son, and the answer is about "discussions", "being on the same page", "be able to agree", is the answer referring to the trip (where if could be read as a bonding experience where there are interesting discussions), or that I will need an agreement with the mother first before considering this question.

On the other hand imagine that same question and the outcome of the reading is about friendship, bonding, journey, etc., but that it turns out his mother is not ok with me having this trip with him and it doesn't happen. Was that reading referring to what it could have been, ignoring the fact that there was a preliminary condition for it to happen?

So I guess my general question is: when we ask a question about a scenario that has a preliminary condition in order for it to happen, your experiences are that the I Ching is usually discussing the outcome of the scenario, the probability that it happens, the way of handling that preliminary condition?
In those cases does the question need to be worded differently, split in two different questions for example?

Thanks for your input!

Dear all,

hope you all help with your interpretation and would appreciate very much if you give me advice.

I have very stressful situation at work place and I asked advice from Yi to overcome.

got answer as below.

Hex 64.4 > Hex 4

As i see it, it is the time to have more awareness and should do work in balance.

.4 told me that

9 at 4: Determination auspicious, regrets disappear. Zhen benefits of attacking the Gui region. Three years he gets rewards in the big state.

It is worth to get regret at the present and after 3 years, it will become reward.

how do you think?

Sofia

HiI asked if I should go ahead and book flights for a May business trip.The response is Hex 58, changing lines 1 and 6.In my Stephen Karcher 'Total IChing' book, which I really like, the lines are very positive. "Open yourself to this influence. Dont let go of this opportunity, you will be sorry if you let go".However, I also use www.oracle-of-love.info, which is also a very good site. However the line readings are TOTALLY different. "better to refrain if not certain, satisfaction not attained".Confused? You bet!

53.6>39

As suggested by the previous castings, I'm staying calm, I do not react to things that make me doubts about his sincerity. When we are togheter things are good. But is not easy, because to avoid problems I 'm fine with everything he does or doesn't do. I know he's in a bad moment with his job and has some problems with his daughter, so I'm always available to him. The new question is: what happen if I ask X how things are between us ?: 53.6> 9. Because I'd like to know if it's worth it, because inside me I'm not calm. Sometimes I have doubts, because I don't understand if we are toghether or only he likes to spend time with me occasionally. I know, it would be better if I stopped thinking about it!!! It is the relationship that will take flight or I will take flight alone? Maybe it's better don't move in this moment.

Enquiring about Feelings from a person whom was previously separated from me

February 1, 2018, 12:22 pm

Hi there, This is my first post with regards to anything related to the I Ching. Please pardon me for the rather long post. The background story for the question is that this particular person had a relationship with me for about 6 months, before we separated due to faults on my part. It was not a happy break up, and both of us had mixed emotions about it. She was extremely angry with me for my faults, while I was devastated with the way things turned out as she mattered a lot to me. We did not speak nor communicate for 3 months, before we bumped into each other by chance and connected again. She spent the next 3 months texting me, albeit with extremely angry messages that accused me of a myriad of things. However, we have since resolved that and have moved into an extremely comfortable state with each other. We are not together at this moment, but I have expressed my resolve multiple times for us to continue our relationship. She, on the other hand, does not want to have a relationship with me now as she believes that both of us are focused on our careers, and she is afraid of being hurt by overwhelming feelings that she might have while in a relationship (as has happened previously). Both of us are in a long-distance non-relationship at this moment but we are in a state where we speak to each other everyday, but do not refer to our relationship or question what it truly means. Her mannerisms rotate between a state of hot-cold-hot-cold, and there are instances when I question our relationship, or lack of it, despite our constant communication. On multiple occasions, I have asked the I Ching about this situation. This particular reading is to address the question of her true feelings for me. And I received the Hexagram 9.2.3, changing into the Hexagram 42. When I ask whether she has to plans to marry me eventually (we have talked about it on many instances), I received the Hexagram 12.1.4, changing into the Hexagram 42. To clarify what it means by the Hexagram 42, I received Hexagram 18. Could someone decipher what all these means? I can see a constant here, but it would be nice to truly understand these patterns and what each answer holds. Once again, I apologise for the lengthy post.

Hex 23.1.5 Is a relationship possible with that person?

Dear all,

Hope you guys fine.

I 'd like to ask some views/thoughts on the hex I got.
Would apprciate if you tell me how you think of it.

I asked Yi as below.
Is a relationship possible with that person?

Actually,
We are just strangers and we met each other at the bank every month.
Since I met him, I felt that I was loved with him.
But I dun know whether he has interest in me or not.

I got answer as below.
Hex 23.1.5> hex 42.

Hex 23 says splitting apart.
.1of Wilhem reminds me that the leg of the bed is split
Which means even I continue this feeling upon him,
It doesn't work and it is not worth to go further.

.5 says me that
"A shoal of fishes.
Favor comes through the court ladies.
Everything acts to further.''

What does it ''everything acts to further'' mean?

As I see it,
If I let it go that feeling and face isolation temporarily or permanently, the true man will meet and it is worth to go further.

Seem incorrect with my interpretation. Hee hee.

But i would like to hear your sincere thoughts too.

With many thanks,
Sofia

Holiday dilemma - 40.1 > 54 & 18.3.5 > 59

A: Outcome of staying in mobile home S - Hexagram 40.1. > Hexagram 54

B: Outcome of staying in safari tent - Hexagram 18.3.5 > Hexagram 59


HI all!
I'm trying to book a little holiday for myself & my daughter as she has a full week off school during the off peak season, which is the only time I can afford to go. So going to make the most of it :)
We are planning to go to a camping holiday style park that has it's own accommodations aswell as proper camping facilities. Unfortunately the accommodation we really wanted sold out right as I went to pay for it! So we are left with only two options.

My criteria for our accommodation on this trip would be:
1) Somewhere quieter at night time as I'll have to study over there
2) Enough floor space to throw down a mat to practice (part of my study)
3) A little privacy, particular the outside space. I'd rather not be on top of neighbours etc.
4) A couch/seating area to chill in the evening after a day of activities.

I have a pro/con for each of our options:

Mobile home (40.1 > 54)

Pros:
More floor space (I think)
Sofa to chill in the evenings.

Cons:
Close to the night time entertainment so noisy
No privacy when sitting at tables & chairs in the outside space.

Safari Tent (18.3.5 > 59)

Pros:
Fun! It's something a little different
In a quieter area
More private outside terrace.
Has a dishwasher!

Cons:
It doesn't have actual doors, just zips closed so I feel a little uneasy about not being able to lock up at night & when we're out.
No sofa, just chairs.
The bedrooms are adjoining & not fully separate, so a little lack of personnel space. But this is not a deal breaker.

At a glance of the readings I thought that the 40.1 (mobile home) was the obvious choice.
But I'm wondering if the 18.3.5 (safari tent) is speaking of some mother/daughter bonding time?
Things have been strained lately & we're butting heads alot - she's going to puberty at the moment & very moody & argumentative.
I wanted to bring her on a holiday so she can just have fun & be a kid for a few days :)

Any input into these Hex's is much appreciated!
