Hex. 5.1.2.5 -> 15 about relship possibilities

[elizabeth]

[This thread isn't related to the other one by me currently nearby.]

I have an old friend, just a friend, who I have wondered about in terms of a romantic relationship. As we may be seeing each other again after a long separation, I asked the Yi about possibilities with this person . It gave me Hex 5.1.2.5 and hex 15 which seems to be saying "do not be aggressive, hold back, be patient, bide your time." Kind of more about how to act rather than what is possible.

Does anyone see anything in these hexes regarding friendship versus other kinds of relationships?

Hex5 Judgement: Waiting. If you are sincere, You have light and success. Perseverance brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
Line 1: Waiting in the meadow. It furthers one to abide in what endures. No blame.
(lead a regular life, dont jump to any conclusions?)
Line 2: Waiting on the sand. There is some gossip. The end brings good fortune. (danger approaches but stay calm?)
Line 5: Waiting at meat and drink. Perseverance brings good fortune.
(common theme: waiting!) (ënjoy the moment w/o being deflected from the goal?)

Hex15 Judgement: Modesty creates success. The superior man carries things through.

Thanks in advance for any help with this,
Elizabeth

Well, I would interpret this reading as to consider the relationship on a friendly basis at the moment. The way I see it, the Yi is saying "don't jump the gun, stop thinking about what might be in the future and enjoy each other's company now". I would try "not to do" anything about it, I would just give it time.

Hope it helps
