Good evening. This will be a bit complex so bear with me. I asked the Yi 2 questions pertaining to the same person. The second question below is one I asked today; the other was recently.
___
How does this man see me? 31.5 >62.
What could this mean mean TO ME? 37.1.5>52.
That's the Q/A. Now my analysis.
___
31.5 -- Wooing. "Thus the universal mutual attractioin between the sexes is represented. In courtship, the masculine principle must seize the initiative and place itself below the feminine principle." Generally speaking he sees me as attractive. So far so good. HOWEVER. Line 5, being a changing line, overrides the generality of that statement. But I can't make sense of the line in this context.
Line 5 : The influence shows itself in the back of the neck. No remorse.
Influencing one's neck. [Lifting one's head and stretching the neck implies purpose and preparedness.]" ... (he sees me as purposeful and prepared?)
Hex 62: weakness, excess Yin. Tread carefully, allow feelings full expression, but don’t pour resources into the grave.
62 .."is about 'passing, going by, exceeding'. The central idea is crossing a line - whether that's a standard of morality or of customs, or a border in time (such as the change of the year)... tends to describe transitions: complete this crossing, go beyond what's familiar or expected, and you'll find yourself in a whole new landscape.
"You can't make the transition called for in Hexagram 62 on the basis of your personal strength and power to bring about change; you have to do it as a small person, one who responds and adapts to a bigger reality even as she travels."
In sum, would this mean he finds me attractive but is afraid to approach?
___
Second reading: What could he mean for me? 37.1.5. and 52.
I have to say as a longterm (now) single female, I saw this hex and saw exclamation marks in front of my eyes (!!!). Family? Is that right?
The Judgement - The Family. The perseverance of the woman furthers. (this is not good. I'm not the pursuant female type...or rather, I dont want to be. Its way too easy to be, and I think it upsets the natural order of things).
Line 1: Being restrained to one's own house/safety/seclusion. And "A noble man has substance through words and perseverance through actions: can also be translated as: his words have substance and his actions have perseverance."
Line 5: There need be no anxiety; there will be good fortune.
A king is the symbol of a fatherly man who is richly endowed in mind. He does nothing to make himself feared; on the contrary, the whole family can trust him, because love governs their intercourse. His character of itself exercises the right influence.
They associate with one another in love.
Hex 52: Thus the superior man Does not permit his thoughts To go beyond his situation.
Therefore, he could be my future husband, but it is not my place to even let my mind GO THERE.
___
If the second reading is more or less accurate, I dont get why the Yi would give you an image of family and then say "dont think about it." Ideas?
