9.5.6 > 11 Romance?

[Retro158]

I recently ran into someone I'm very attracted to and who I haven't seen in quite a while. We've had some sparks in the past and she seemed very pleased to see me. We're planning to get together to 'catch up' in the near future.

I asked about the potential for romance this time around with her.

9.5.6 (Taming Power of the Small) > 11 (Peace)

My sense is that this is quite a positive reading, albeit saying that it a time for small advances - some restraint, but I'm uncertain about the top line. It seems to speak of being content with where things are. Does that suggest that what is here is as far as it goes or just not to push at this time?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi retro158,

"What is the potential for romance this time around with her?"
9.5.6 to 11 ~ Take it slow, overcome a problem together, and you will have ideal relationship conditions.

Research has shown that everyone asks themselves the same two questions when they meet someone ~ "Can I trust this person?" and "Is this person reliable?" Some people are easier to satisfy than others, but when it comes to romance these are foundational issues that you want to get 'right' from the start. So, it's to both party's advantage to go slow in the beginning.

Line 5 ~ she has a friend that she relies on for advice that you will want to win over.

Line 6 ~ there will be a challenge to overcome that will require both of you to solve ~ 'how' you solve it together is the key.

So, I'd say an optimistic toss, with a slight caution to temper your excitement until you both have the chance to share some experiences together.

I hope this helps!

Follow up: This situation hasn't unfolded in a romantic direction. Instead I recently bumped into the woman at a concert - with her boyfriend. A couple of interpretations of 9.6 suggested to me that there was a limit to the potential in the situation and that the advise was to 'accept it as it is' - that seems to have been a more accurate take on this situation.
