32>5

[yxeli]

Heyo--

Wondering if anyone can give me some insight into 32 1,4,5>5.

A guy (different one from the previous threads) has shown interest this past weekend, we hung out together for a few days with a group of friends and it went ok I think... Nothing happened but it was a nice bit of early flirty stuff.

I asked what is his position regarding me? 32>5.

Is this commitment waiting? or waiting in 'sameness'? I know 32 can mean a different kind of duration then a committed relationship. This is the first casting regarding this guy.

Thanks for any thoughts as always,

Bests,

Yx

Hi Yxeli

Im sorry but I don't have a very promising take on this for you. I'll share my thoughts but if you like this guy then you won't like my interpretation

32... Stay on your own course and follow your own path. Stick to your own ethics.

32.1 advises against digging for permanency. If something is meant to be then it will be. Trying to hurry the process along won't go well because things need to follow a natural pace.

32.4 Describes hunting when there is nothing to hunt. There is nothing to be found. You are looking in the wrong place, LiSe talks about fields without wildfowl for this line.

32.5 Speaks of dedication of a housewife. It interprets to me as knowing your correct place and acting in a way that befits your role. Steady your character and mould your own shape.

In general, I read this as there is nothing in this place at this time and you should act accordingly.

As the lines lead to hexagram 5 - waiting, maybe yi advises that although there is nothing here now there maybe something to wait for. Yi advises patience and from LiSe, I get...

"Many things come by waiting, rather than by acting. As if one opens a cosmic door for them to enter. One’s own attitude is the door, if one waits in the right feeling, one acts at the right time. But there is also something inexplicable, which makes things happen without any action on them."

My opinion would be not to rush in but to wait patiently with a good attitude. I have a good feeling about the outcome of this situation but maybe not what you are hoping for at the moment. Whatever you are waiting for will happen naturally with no need for action on your part.

I get the feeling that this is a very slow process if you maintain it.
You asked what is his position regarding you...perhaps he needs an encouragement from you if we read the lines as meant to be talking about his position...maybe he thinks you don`t find him to be "the game"?

"What is his position regarding me?"

32.1
He really wants a long term relationship. He thinks it's better not to rush you though.
32.4
He thinks you maybe aren't really interested in him, or perhaps in the kind of relationship he would like to have with you.
32.5
He thinks you'd make a good wife though, that you have traditional values.
>5.
He'd like to see a bit more of you, and find out if there is more possible.

Thank you all!

Three very different interps, and all quite relevant.

I'm not invested in this at all really, It was a little fun at the weekend and so i'm not hedging my bets, so waiting seems fine to me, for either something to happen with him, or with someone else.

Does anyone hold that the Yi never answers what someone elses position is in regards to you? It only gives advice for your part? I'd really like to know this cos I tend to ask toooo many questions about what others intentions are.

Thank you all for replying.

Yx

Interesting question, especially because I was thinking about it before I opened the net today...I am not sure yet, but as I see it, IChing is working with your energy, your questioning...possibly just clarifying the situation for you...so I would say, mostly about us, how the situation relates to us in these kind of questions, of course.
And also that less is more, in terms of asking questions...easier said then done, when one is eager...trying to adopt stoicism and zen in personal matters is a mastery but as the book says, everything is a Change.
