The question "What do I do about this relationship?"
Hi, sollina.
-
What kind of relationship is it?
The question "What do I do about this relationship?" I got hex 42 with all changing lines. I'm a bit confused with line 6.
42 > 32: Increase, expand, strengthen > Enduring, persevere, make constant, marriage.
Your question was about what to do regarding the relationship.
The answer seems to be: strengthen the relastionship and make it endure.
The fact that all lines of 42 are changing suggests a multifaceted situation. If only line six were changing, you would encounter # 3, difficulty at the beginning.
The fact that line six is changing suggests that you may need to face lack of support opposition from others regarding this relationship. Legge says it clearly in his translation, to which I have added my own grammatical understanding in parentheses { } :
"we see one to whose increase none will contribute, while many will seek to assail him. {IF} he observes no rule in ordering his heart, {THEN} there will be evil."
I think it means to be clear about what you want rather than to keep changing your mind. Be sure it's what you want and go after it. Don't be fickle. Etc.
Hope that helps.

Here is a good example of overreading, and reading into, a hexagram. This is due to anxiety. We want to make it work. Believe me, I have been through this many times. I know how anxiety can wreck a reading. I've been there. I know how anxiety can cause you to try to read over and over again until we get a hexagram that seems very clear, and tells us what we want. Etc...
...
If we take all the meanings of all the lines, we get carried away with a deluded enthusiasm. (See hexagram 16 line 6) If we try to act a certain way, be more this way, or be more that way, what happens? We stop being natural, we stop being ourselves. That has got to stop, ha ha. We must be natural. Now that doesn't mean there aren't things we shouldn't change. But when you start to analyze every little move, and make something of it, we are letting our analytical mind get too much in the way, and it destroys our spontaineity.(sp?)
Interestingly enough, the nuclear hexagram in 42 is 23, stripping away. The trigrams are k'un, the mother, and Ken, the youngest son, your friend.
I say just get out there, be confident, and be in control of yourself. Then let it flow.
