do I hurt or oppress her?
I, personally, think your first post says it very well. The only thing I might add is that 36 isn't always wounding the light, though sometimes it can be. To me it's more about guarding the light, which is a good counterbalance for 1.6, which has a tendency to use energy in excess outwardly, sometimes a mere display. 36 is the opposite of displaying this energy or light. You could say that 36 grounds this uncontrolled electricity, power or light.
For one, I see 28 as the situational/feeling hexagram more than anything that will happen. Hexagram 28:
"Wind below lake.
The marsh submerges the trees: Great excess. The noble one stands alone without fear, retreats from the world without melancholy." Bows with gratitude, and leaves the pressure.
Just a minor detail, which you're probably already aware of, but Sun/Xùn also represents wood. This gives the feeling of a flood, the lake rises over the trees. In addition, the image of a bending ridgepole. Both ideas give the impression of impending doom, too much to withstand. The tree is rooted into the earth, the ridge pole holds up the entire roof. It tests ones mettle.
I also like to think of 11 in terms of fruitfulness. Peace can degenerate into stagnation, but participating in a plant/tree's fruit growing or a garden's flourishing is rewarding. Only heaven and earth can make a tree, but it requires the seed, and a little help from a friend doesn't hurt.
Actually, one thing that has occurred to me is the description my friends have had of my attitude to this. They describe it as excessively generous and peaceful.
Could it be that an excess of peaceful response is actually an intense and overwhelming pressure?
How I seen it at the time was this huge amount of potential energy. The actual situation was as Pocossin described though. I did feel hurt over a lack of communication. I also felt hurt over some things that were said. I remember reflecting, wondering"am I seeing this correctly? How can I see this without feeling so defensive?"
I picked up on the idea of release from: "I can see it as 'breaking free' .."sooo, thank you for your comment. It hasn't been a release so much as a process. A way of finding balance - you might say, using a state of harmony to very gently allow the process of what's happened in excess to fill out the excess of what existed in me. So, yes, you're right, a paradox, or even a puzzle, allowing the time it takes for all the little pieces to settle or clear out. This has felt like agony/ecstasy, loss gain, fullness through emptiness (because as I emptied of things that seemed to connect to nothing or appreciated the time others took to connect and settle, I felt wealthier of being, somehow).
When you reference the commonality of excess, 1.6 and the Golden Dragon, what do you mean?
I really enjoy 51 as a hexagram. Very beautiful idea.
sooo :bows:
The extreme energy darkened the light causing a wound... Or you could say the exteme energy and emotion caused one to become weak and less creative... Or you could say the extreme energy and emotion eventually caused one to hide, so as not to be further injured. Acceptance... in a way of not allowing the little spark left to burn completely out...

Golden Dragon is a bit of poetic license, a play off your handle, and from the more positive side of 1.6 - another image that is nearly always seen from only a negative perspective. Also based upon your friends' observations. There are quite a few of these that are consistently cast as Yi-devils, but to me, everything positive or negative depends upon context, desired results and self-sculpturing character.
I thought 1 > 36 was a very interesting answer and it seems like you got a good handle on it. Perhaps she sees you for the complex person that you are. I notice you actually didn't ask about getting together with this lady, only how to get over her, so perhaps the reading reflects this - you may very well just be looking for help in letting go.
With that, hex 11 is flow, I think 'peace' is completely misleading label for it. I hope it doesn't come to the flood seeping everything away, the pressure of 28 having reached the breaking point; although it may be that you are already in the process of this as we speak.
I wish you good luck. It really impressed me how you saw that the fisherman had no context for his life. Context, as I am fond of saying, is everything.
Sooo, this is interesting and I've not gone deep into 1.6. I created the handle GoldenN based on a concept taken before the experience I describe in this post. Golden now, for me, is the golden mean or golden ratio, something about weighing for balance while moving over terrain.
I will soon, then, conduct greater study into 1.6 and see what's deeper. In the work that I do, interestingly, based in understanding conflict and resolution, conflict resolution, in itself, feels a huge amount like 1.6. It's incredibly difficult to find solutions/resolution because the very act of seeking this becomes dragon force against dragon force - it's active energy against active energy. Perhaps a deeper study of 1.6 and you're pointing it out is fortuitous!
In reference to conflict resolution and 1.6, do you have thoughts? How do you resolve a 1.6 before leaving the line? :bows:
