The marrying maiden - Context

[serinasioux]

I did some research around on the forums first but I didn't really get what I was looking for. Can someone put the image of "The marrying maiden" in context for me?

I have been struggling with a decision for a little while... In my previous thread titled "home" I think I mentioned that the place I am staying has been foreclosed and I have 1 month to move and figure out what I am doing. The person that owned the house I am staying in is moving as well of course, and she and I have developed a pretty strong relationship over the last 6 months or so(she considers me her daughter). She has told me that no matter what I decide to do, or where I decide to go, if it doesn't work out I always have a "home" with her and can return if needed. (This conversation happened after my previous thread coincidentally. Those of you that were following and responding may find this interesting.)

Things I have been stressing about;
1. Do I move with her or fly free and become more independent?
2. Do I stay here or move south to pursue artistic dreams
3. Am I ready to make that kind of transition?
...Just to name a few. The Yi tells me I am in a transitory state, I believe that as I can clearly see and feel that. I have a little issue with lack of faith, I have a hard time accepting things as they are and not trying to direct the outcome.

The Yi has been telling me things to the effect of "it is not entirely in your hands, it is not time for you to act, get out of the way...

So I asked "what if I just stop stressing out about what I am going to do when it comes time to move and let fate do it's thing?"

The response I got was 53.2-57 which I take to mean that that is exactly what I should do for the time being. The bit about the "maiden is given in marriage" is throwing me a bit, I am not sure what context I should be putting it in. I don't think that it literally means I will become the marrying maiden seeing as how I am not in any type of relationship that would result in marriage...as far as I know.

Any insight or perspectives you have to offer would be much appreciated.

Hi Sirenasioux,

Was the reading 53 or 54?
53 is 'Development' not 'The Marrying Maiden'.

Not qualified legal advice, but I believe if you have a lease with this person, the Bank cannot evict you just because of foreclosure as long as you continue to pay the rent. If you have been paying rent but have no lease, you can be considered in most States as on a month to month agreement. There has a been a lot said lately about the rights of renters vs. foreclosing banks, and renters have been winning out in most states.

And why would the bank want to evict you anyway? They probably would rather have you there then have the house sitting empty, along with all their other foreclosed properties. You might look into this, maybe you can stay. Maybe even your friend can stay - with you! Worth checking out anyway.

( Btw 53.2 does change to 57.)

Anyway, if you stop stressing maybe you two should look for a place for a while, if you can't stay any longer.

53. Gradual Development
Line 2:
The geese gradually advance to the cliffs.
Eating and drinking, glad, glad. Good fortune.
The gradual development is at a stage where it feels like reaching solid ground. This makes the situation pleasurable, and one can use it to gain strength. Things go well.

>57
THE GENTLE. Success through what is small.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go. It furthers one to see the great man.

Maybe also see if she can delay the foreclosure longer through small, legal tactics. Banks are under much criticism these days, if you get a Tenant's or Public Interest group to back you up.

To clarify; I don't hold a lease with this person so there is nothing shady happening here. I stay in her home for free in exchange for caring for her daughter. Being a Property Manager by trade I am aware of the legal proceedings involved with evictions...that is not the issue here. The owner of the home wants to take this opportunity to move as the home is attached to the life she shared with her now ex-husband. Moving for her is actually a convenience and they will pay her enough for clearing the property to afford move-in costs associated with signing on to a rental. We just didn't think it would happen this quickly. The bank actually wants the property because it is a historical landmark (we live on the site of what used to be the center of an 1850's mining town, complete with the original graveyard that I can throw a rock to from the front door...The home is quaint and it sits on a really b*tchen piece of land) There is speculation that BLM wants to buy the land considering they own everything that touches it already.

My concern with asking the question in the first place is my own restlessness to move forward with my life goals. I was looking at this as the Universe's way of telling me that it is time to move my ass and make a decision whether to stay or go, but the Yi as mentioned above seems to have been telling me in previous readings that this is "not a time of doing but rather a time of being and for me to get out of the way of the things that have been set in motion. To "have faith", that there are forces at work that I have no control of. (I had asked earlier what I should be doing and got the response "remaining blameless") I have been wanting to move south and pursue my art there but I have had questions about whether or not I am overreaching my current abilities. I keep asking "what if" questions that are leading me to more confusion. That is why I asked if I should just back off and let fate do its' thing. Perhaps I should just plan on moving with her to her new place and continue as I have been with faith that the timing and circumstances to realize my dreams is already set in motion to present itself to me, rather than me stressing out about how out to look for it.

My question to the forum about the "marrying maiden" was not about that hex specifically, but a line in hex 53.

"The maiden
Is given in marriage.
Good fortune.
Perseverance furthers."

I just shortened it to the marrying maiden. I was looking more for a contextual relationship between my question and the meaning of the phrase. Unless I am mistaken, I read this Hex to mean that yes, I do in fact need to just let things be as they are for the moment and everything will work itself out in time.
