A close friend of mine asked me to throw the I Ching for his new relationship of four months. Why, I am not sure as he is so captivated by Eros, he may not want to hear an objective answer! But here we go. As an observer, this relationship seems to be careening along extremely quickly and almost desperately on both sides. He is "drunk with love" (lust?) and she is eager to get married again and quickly. This is a bit alarming. (He has never been married, and has often told us--his friends--that "it was time"...she is a very recent divorcee.) They are not yet engaged. It appears that they are like a comet at the moment...and I wonder if this will burn out as quickly as it started. He is aware of how fast this is going, but is throwing all caution to the wind as he thinks this may be his last opportunity because most of his friends are married. He is 34 (not 104!) She is already picking out a dress. (Not really, but it has felt like that at times.) He has, in the past, acted on impulse and regretted it.
I am not sure how to interpret this hexagram (7 The Army) in relation to this situation, love affair, relationship, etc. (And then, depending on the responses, what to say to him!) I asked if this relationship had a future and would be lasting (his question). I got "The Army" with no changing lines. Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you!
