Would it be reasonable to say I am able to read people but that I should avoid behaving as if I can? Don't react to what I see, but rather put it in my pocket and continue on like I didn't notice?Hi Froranova, as per my understanding, Hexagram 36 deals with a situation in which the person's capacity for action is hindered, totally or partially. I think the meaning of the hex itself contains already your answer.
It is not the adverse moment for any undertaking; it is about the personal situation of the subject of the consultation, which can range from partial hindrance to the total annulment of the subject.
The oracle says that, during a great adversity, such as this one, the only right thing to do is to remain firm and faithful to one´s ntuition, to one's principles, to one's desires, but hiding from others one's true capabilities and intentions.
If you are concern about the future, the prediction is not to act openly, not to reveal oneself, not to show all that one knows, but not to deviate from the planned course either: simply to act with reserve, in the dark.
I don´t know if this is what you intuition tells you, but it´s what the hex tells to me.
Best.
Exactly, that´s what I think.Would it be reasonable to say I am able to read people but that I should avoid behaving as if I can? Don't react to what I see, but rather put it in my pocket and continue on like I didn't notice?
I've had some experiences in the recent past that have made me feel like my ability to sense how people feel and their intentions is actually a lot weaker than I originally thought.
I don't know if I'm supposed to do this but I did another reading asking "36 in what sense? Other people's brightness or my own?" And got 47uc. Could that mean my own? I have been very depressed and isolating myself due to these experiences. Hopefully I'm not pulling a hex 4 and asking too many questionsFood for thought:
When a person is 36-ing, they are hiding their intentions. Some people are very good at this. When someone is very good at it, they are hard to read, some times impossible to read.
A big lesson I've learned lately is not to take action based on someone's subtle cues and to go more based on what they express openly. Even if there *was* something there and they're hiding it, there's no proving what you saw. On top of that, sometimes I feel like when I pick up on something, I have no way of knowing if it has anything to do with me personally or if they were just in a certain mood due to something else. You can determine very general things based on someone's posture/tone of voice/facial expressions/word choice but if I try to guess *exactly* what it meant, that's where I need to take a step back. I guess it's not fair of me to want to he able to do that when I hide my own feelings for dear life all the time We're all flawed and scared of being seen that way huh?I certainly wouldn't worry about not being good at reading people, people can be obscure, tricky and not reveal their intentions. 36 might indicate you have been hurt through this. In any case there is no cause for self recrimination because you couldn't see someone's motivations. I personally don't think one ever gets this totally right, not ever, we aren't mind readers of one another, well sometimes but it's very difficult. I often think surely I must have come across all the kinds of behaviours there are from people by now but I can assure you I still am taken aback by how far off the mark I can be.
47 I imagine is you being down on yourself here. I don't think you should spend any more time worrying about this. I don't mean stop writing about it of course but I have 90 year olds in my life who still puzzle over 'why did he do that?' and even 'was that all in my head?'. People are complex and they only show us what they can or what they choose to and in turn we can only see bits of them at a time, only see bits of the picture at a time and of course we are conditioned by past experiences with others. It's all fascinating and also difficult, a source of pleasure and of pain.
Another possibility with 36 is one doesn't let oneself know that one knows. Sometimes people know quite well deep down for example that another is cheating or something but they conceal it in their own minds, brush it under the carpet for self protection.
