Hello again,
I posted last week and Rosada, Peace, and Millie were extremely helpful. I hope someone can clarify a few readings for me again.
As Millie pointed out, my desperation is probably more of an issue here than other things, but I asked the oracle this weekend how can I find someone, and it gave me 49.Revolution/Molting (3rd line changing) moving to 17 Following. I took that to mean that I shouldn??t be hunting or looking myself now; starting brings misfortune, I should just sit back and wait, go with the flow and ??follow??. Basically I??m not in control and there??s nothing I can do but sit tight.
Since I??ll be waiting ??, I asked ??what can I do more of at this time to be happy??? and I received a very interesting response.
54 Marrying maiden, changing lines 3 and 6 ?? 51.Chi??en/Modesty. I read all the threads I could find on 54 to get some background on this.
What I gathered was 54 is:
-temporary condition of transition, use the time to continue your progress
- surrender, subordinate, accept Fate as it is; become part of one??s environment; ??bloom where you are planted??, live within your limits. Keep an eye on eternity while you gather strength (wait/be patient) while taking refuge in the temporary transitional ??now?? phase.
Someone wrote that 54 appears when what we want isn??t appropriate at the time. What I want is still for this man to ??come back?? to me, to develop a relationship with him; but I didn??t tell the Yi that in this question, which I find curious.
Line 6: devoid of direction: gifts given as sacrifice aren??t sincere and one should be sincere in both word and deed. You??re going thru the motions but not ??feeling it??. (this is true, I??m not feeling my ??moving on?? in my heart, although I??m going thru the motions, trying to be social etc, and meet others. How else, what else to do if I??m in ??waiting mode???)
Line 3: the maiden marries as a slave/concubine: my personal dignity has not been recognized; I??m in the position of a disabled person, or one in the shadows following this relationship with the man in question; I have been humiliated but ??thru progress?? I will reach the place I belong (But how to progress?).
Ironically in the ??triangle?? of my reality, this man??s mother is a strong force in his life. The mother here could replace the ??First wife?? idea. (If I??m understanding the symbolism correctly). However again: this question wasn??t posed about the relationship but about me being happy without it. Does anyone else see another meaning for Line 6 here?
Line 3 also: it says all things come to those who wait (I confess I??m impatient in my singledom!); he who craves will take the first that comes along but he who waits will get one with dignity. The Yi may be saying in my craving for rel??ship I jumped at this person and I need to reevaluate. I see that (but it doesn??t help me move past it). (I also read something about the transition to being a woman is cosmetic in this line, that when the maiden??s hair is shorn, she is exposed being not a woman but rather still a girl. I don??t know if this applies or not).
Interestingly, the information I read about 54 relates more to my state of mind and being than the question I asked. Rather I don??t think Yi is answering my question directly and I??m curious how 54 is an answer to the question what to do to be happy.
(I haven't paid much attention to 51 - i assume it means just stay modest?)

Finally: I asked two followup questions (tsk tsk I know) one regarding how I should act relating to this man who is not so present in my life anymore. I have been pondering our ??friendship?? and since I??m not contributing to it, we have a mirror situation going on. I see him pull back, so I pull back, then he pulls back more. I wonder if I come to the table, if he would. And I wonder what the right thing to do is. My last reading/post confirmed I need to step back and find someone else. But when this gentleman calls to touch base, I??m not sure how to act. Part of me wants to suggest meeting to say hello and that fights with the ??if he wanted to he would ask!?? part.
Yi gave me this:
62 Preponderance of the small ?? 15 Modesty.
I would assume that means accepting contact but not initiating, being polite but not suggesting we hang out, etc.
I asked how he sees me now and it gave 16 Enthusiasm with ch line 6 to 35 Progress. (!!)
Does this mean I??m being (Mis)led by enthusiasm and need to progress further on my own?
Or, does it mean he would welcome contact from me, and it would progress to something? I read that 35 is progress together in partnership, not apart. But right now we don??t really communicate.
I have a feeling I should not be asking the Yi these things?K but today I couldn??t resist, I miss this person terribly and honestly, was looking for a sign that things would pick up or that at least our friendship could be maintained.
Thanks in advance for any replies and apologies for the length of the post.
