We're very close, but there are many obstacles preventing us from having a serious full-on relationship, which I've decided not to go into here. I love him and want to move forward, but I've realized that it's going to take time. I'm willing to take it slow, but I wonder sometimes if he's really capable of giving me what I want. So I finally asked Yi if it will EVER happen!
I asked Yi about a relationship with a male friend... We've been seeing each other periodically for 2 years now. We're very close, but there are many obstacles preventing us from having a serious full-on relationship, which I've decided not to go into here. I love him and want to move forward, but I've realized that it's going to take time. I'm willing to take it slow, but I wonder sometimes if he's really capable of giving me what I want. So I finally asked Yi if it will EVER happen! A scary question to ask, because of course I want so much for the answer to be YES!
I got Hex2, lines 2,3, and 4... changing to 32. It looks positive-ish. However, I could read it 2 ways... and this comes down to what a "relating" hexagram's role is in a reading. Discounting the meaning of the lines for a moment, If the answer means H2 LEADING to H32 - responsiveness, openness leading to duration I think that would mean a big yes! But if the meaning of the relating hexagram is the place I'm coming from in asking the question - i.e. a very long time waiting - enduring in my desire - that seems to change the meaning for me. Especially since the lines, while not exactly contradictory, are a little ambiguous.
I would appreciate any thoughts on this! Thank you...
Hi,
I was so confused with you two (your answers), I kept going back to translations reading over again, to see it I could GET it. Then it clicked ... (I think) "enduring waiting"... as if what you are doing now, will be what is. And what you have been doing is indeed waiting. Trojan, just out of pure curiosity and learning, if her situation is that this guy is married, or taken, wouldn't she have received 54, 23, 33? Or something like that? And then if she was to be waiting forever why not receive 5? Have either you Trojan or Rosada experienced or seen others experience a reading that pertained to something of this nature that is not one of the obvious hexagram answers? If I'm even making sense. Or maybe I am not understanding your views. This is not really a debate, its for learning and
understanding. Sorry Lilita, I don't mean to
take over your thread, but I think being open
to others views, having a wider view helps in fully understanding Iching. So since this came up, I thought it was a perfect time to ask about it. I hope you are not offended, I do wish you the best, and hope you will come back and
share how your reading related to you.
Best wishes,
Blue_Angel

So I've heard different things here about the relating hexagram - some of you seem to regard it as the "result" of the changing lines (that's what I always thought!), but some of you regard it as the "context" within which the question was asked. How can we know? It really does make a difference in the meaning of the answer.
The traditional way of seeing this is to say that you receive one hexagram, some lines change, and this results in the second hexagram, later on. This should really be in another post… but in brief, I find it more helpful to see it as receiving the two hexagrams together as one – simultaneous, superimposed, mapped onto one another. The changing lines show the points of difference between the two hexagrams: they are the places of movement, or tension, or exchange. They light up because this is where energy is flowing.
Yeah, I wish I could do that No, this is a song by Cathy Burton - "Hearts connected".lilita said:Ash, did you write this poem? Beautiful!
lilita said:Also, I don't understand where 7.3 and 46 come into this. I'm sure you're talking about some system of reading that I'm unfamiliar with, which isn't surprising!
Even if the relating hexagram is the context, getting multiple changing lines that are contradictory is still a confusing situation.
