not sure how to interpret . . .

[clarionbodhi]

recently i have "re-encountered" a relationship that i had almost given up on. i say almost because "y" and i have maintained contact with each other for over the past 4 years never really calling it quits so to speak (we live some 1200 miles apart at this time) but not really having a relationship either.

so, over the past three or four weeks we have both expressed an interest and desire for getting back together. therefore curious about what potential there is for a relationship i asked:

"what potential is there for a relationship with y?"

and received 43 unchanging.

not sure how to interpret this. this hexagram seems to be giving direction/guidance on expressing intent but not sure what it is saying on the 'potential' for the relationship? reading bradford hathcher's version of the i ching, he cross references this hexagram with the tarot's 10 of cups which is overall very positive as it points to abundance, joy and family.

i then asked:

"how then do i help bring about a relationship with y at this time?"

and received hexagram 3.3.6 changing to 37.

and this seems to say there is nothing i can do at this time to make it happen and if i tried to make or encourage something to happen it would be a grave mistake (3.3.6)

but to remain receptive or devoted to the possibility of a relationship?

i am a bit confused. i don't think the i ching is telling me that there is no potential for a relationship but on the other hand i don't feel i have been given the green light either to help bring it about.

please help if you have any insights. thank you for listening.

p.s.

i just recieved hexagram 22.2.4.6 changing to 34 in response to my question:

"what advice do you have for me at this time regarding y?"

and am further confused . . . is the i ching saying to lighten up and remain strong?

well it is late here in the states and i suppose i should put this to rest now and get some rest

thank you again for any help you may have to offer.

Yes, indeed there is potential providing that you are both completely honest with each other.


"how then do i help bring about a relationship with y at this time?" hexagram 3.3.6 changing to 37.

It's going to prove to be a very difficult task and is going to take a lot of preparation and planning, you face a hard struggle which means that you must persevere at all costs.
