Your reading resulted in the following hexagrams: changing to 40 45Hexagram 40, ReleaseKey QuestionsIf nothing could bind you, where would you go?Do you 'have to'? Who says?Which path leads to where you want to be?Oracle'Release. Fruitful in the southwest.With no place to go,To turn round and come back is good fortune.With a direction to go,Daybreak, good fortune.'To 'release' is to liberate, to solve problems, to untie knots. The first step towards release is a move 'southwest': no longer battling on to pursue the mission, but going back to your roots and reconnecting with home and allies. When you know where you're coming from, it becomes a lot easier to be clear about where you're going.If your path has no real destination, turn back; if it has purpose, start your journey as early as you can. If you have no good reason to continue on as before, come back to your starting point and let that cycle reach its end; if you have a goal in mind, why not start exploring ways to attain it right away?This would be such simple advice, if only we didn't spend our lives being 'pulled' down paths that lead nowhere, as if by invisible strings.Image'Thunder and rain do their work: Release.A noble one pardons transgressions and forgives crimes.'SequenceRelease follows from Hexagram 39, Limping:'Things cannot end with hardship, and so Release follows. Release means letting things take their time.'Changing LinesLine 2'In the field, taking three foxes.Gaining a golden arrow.Constancy, good fortune.'Line 5'A noble one, bound, is released.Good fortune.There is truth towards small people.'Hexagram 45, GatheringKey QuestionsWhat is asked of you?What are you investing in?Oracle'Gathering, creating success.The king enters his temple.Fruitful to see great people, creating success.Constancy bears fruit.Using great sacrificial animals: good fortune.Fruitful to have a direction to go.'The old character for 'Gathering' shows people gathered like grass, or perhaps gathered to bring in the harvest: they have a shared identity, and invest together for a purpose, looking for what will bear fruit. Sometimes this is an external gathering, sometimes an internal one – collecting yourself and integrating your many roles and strengths, getting yourself together. Many people, roles, energies and issues are concentrated in this single focal point.The king enters his temple to connect his people with the ancestral spirits. This is a time to strengthen shared roots, and understand mundane daily activities as part of a larger story and identity that gives them meaning.With this connection made, it is time to see great people. Originally this might have meant consulting with diviners, to ensure your offerings were made in harmony with the time and the spirits. Seeing great people (whether in the flesh or with your inner vision) gives you longer- term guidance to align your efforts with your purpose. Then a steady persistence will bear fruit. And you are making great efforts – and an act of faith – investing the best you have in this gathering. You need those good, deep roots, and clear-sighted guidance, and you need to know where you are going with it all.Image'Lake higher than the earth: Gathering.A noble one sets aside weapons and tools, and warns against the unexpected.'SequenceGathering follows from Hexagram 44, Coupling:'They meet one another, then they assemble, and so Gathering follows. Gathering means assembling.'PairGathering forms a pair with Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward:'Gathering means assembling, Pushing Upward means not coming back.'

What was your answer, 40 unchanging?

I think her answer was hexagram 40.2.5 - hexagram 45.

45. Reads to me like it would be good to sign up to be a member of a group like Match.com.
40.2 There may be some wily foxes trying to pass themselves off as suitable partners but they wont fool you.
40.5 The emphasis here on independence makes me think you should not be focused on marriage or even commitment, just on presenting yourself as you really are and see what happens.
