Return to Bonding 24.1.5>8

[yxeli]

Sounds good right?

Although, I read here that hexagram 8 is not necessarily to do with 'wooing'?

Is 8 a more general bonding in a social sense, or could I read it as the guy wants to return to me in a romantic way?

Thanks

Hi Yx,

I find bonding applicable for 8 in a social sense, economic sense, emotional sense and in a military or defensive sense. I don't see bonding in the same way as in 37 or 11, whereas blood and natural ties make one body, but in 8, a unifying purpose for individual entities or groups to pool and trade resources for mutual benefit.

In a common sense that I apply it, simply: "keep it together". That is, keep my sense of order, purpose and direction unified, all working in the same direction.

45 is a "get it together" companion to 8's "keep it together".

However, I have not found either to necessarily mean to get it or keep it together with a particular person or group, so much as within myself. If it's together there, the decisions I make concerning others will also be together.

Hi there
Just a note when i personaly have recieved 24 when asking the yi when I have been in a breakup its really the time to get back to you, start thinking about what you enjoy and possibly where to from here questions 24.1 is advising you to stop this train of thought and 24.5 I feel is advice on not making the same mistakes again in future, if you have feelings for someone I could see how you may interpret this reading as wow we are getting back together but I totally agree that hex 8 is advisng you to keep it together especially when you look at the lines.
What do you enjoy is the question now , this is me time, meditation will def help to relax your mind

hope I have helped
Steve
