53.1.2.6 > 5

[SHONNA_D]

On my previews post I wrote you about the unstable situation between me and my ex and I posted a question about my parent's reaction If I talk to them that we are back together.
Yes, we are trying to make a new start but the situation between us confuses me a lot. It's still so complicated and unstable and of course it is so difficult to fix something broken.

Will the situation between us be fixed?
Hexagram 53, changing lines 1,2,6 to hexagram 5

53 Gradual progress -

the marriage of a young lady​

53.1 At the beginning there will be danger, there will be talk and the son (my ex)will be in danger. It could be obvious that there will be talk because of our reconciliation.
53.2 But after that we will eat and drink joyfully and at ease.
53.6 and we will perform the sacred dance or a sacred ceremony. I was always thinking that line could mean the ritual of wedding. I'm wondering what it means here.

I noticed the similarity between line 2 of hexagram 53 and that of hexagram 5.
Both are referred to eating and drinking happily.

I think the answer is really auspicious but I would like to know your interpretation. I don't want to raise false hopes.

Hi,

Line 1 shows an inexperienced person suffering difficulties and not sure how to handle them.

Line 2 shows eating talking and exchange, honk honk.

Line 6 shows a relationship that has ended.
The geese aren't the dancers here.
(The geese have left the building)

Hex 5 says to make the most of the mean time.

Thank you Moss Elk. I was hoping that the cast was more auspicious.
My intuition says something different. Anyway, I will update in the future.

Could you clarify?
I am confused.

Did you mean you wanted to know about talking with your parents about the relationship status?

Promise me you will write a book of commentary 'The geese have left the building' had me chortling for a good 20 minutes.....

Deal.

(You helped me understand 53.6 a few years ago via PM, about that one that got away.)

Hexagram 53.1.3.6 - hexagram 5.

I think you are being advised to "wait and see".
53.1 Don't be too hasty. You're just starting out to repair things and you yourself don't know where this is going.
53.2 So far so good. Perhaps this is why you feel you want to share the good news and tell your folks the match is on again?
53.6 This line has gotten a lot of mixed reviews. While it looks positive, it is the last position suggesting that the Gradual Development doesn't develop any further. Perhaps enjoying each other's company as friends is as good as it gets.

5. Waiting. Eating and drinking and being of good cheer.

All in all I think you are being advised to enjoy the reconciliation but not to assume this means you are back on track as a committed couple. Wait a bit and see how it goes. With a calm eye you may then be able to see why the initial separation happened and when you fully understand that you wont need an oracle, you'll be able to see for yourself what needs to be done to fix things - or perhaps you'll get that you don't want to fix things - that the relationship has gone as far as you want it to go and you can part as friends. Either way it sounds good for now.

I believe hex 53.6 can be a 'break up-line', but I rather regard it as a a 'letting go-line'. Letting go of what, is the question. There was already a lot of discussion about it, which can be found in the archives. Maybe it's not necessarily the relationships that ends, but the 'gradualness' of its former character or the courtship stage, which is overcome indicated by terminating hex 53.

 

[Trojina]

53.6 is a line of transcendence. Whatever the problem is it won't matter any more because you have moved on, transcended the situation in it's current form. The feathers may be what you have learned from the experience that you can leave behind for others.

When the geese have left the building they go somewhere else.

So if it did manifest as a break up then it would be a break up that allows you to move on. The geese don't fall down dead, they are on the move to beyond and beyond and beyond. It's a beautiful ending to 53 and an inevitable one.

It doesn't have to be a break up as equinox says, it can be the relationship takes on a new form, transcends what it was before.

-Update-

The situation went much worse. As a result, I left and I moved on (53.6)

(Overall, you were right)

This comment is very late I realise, but I hope you have moved on to something better.
