does this mean there is no family now or there will be no family after this event takes place.
Do you understand the diference between 56 and 23?
The Yijing says 23 means something "spoiled"; and 56 someone "with no family"
Hi,
I asked the Iching if I will have romance in the month of February and received Hex 13.1.5>56
I interpreted this as someone I already know coming thro my door and its joyous but we end up in misunderstandings then with 56 as one of us going off on our own.
So that doesn't make sense to me because I wld have thought it wld have been 23 splitting apart.
Athough sometimes I note that the hex that follows is read as preceding?
If anyone can make sense of what I am trying to say cld u plse help.
I am not so interested in the romantic bit as I am to understand the following hex 56 not being 23.

The Yijing is a text. The text says what i quoted.
Another thing is your claim that no one should use the text, but your own interpretation, aka Emotional I Ching.

No, I didn't. I just quoted the Yijing.You presented the prose as if representative of the WHOLE ("The Yijing says 23 means something "spoiled"; and 56 someone "with no family"",
No, I didn't. I just quoted the Yijing.
I'm not saying those phrases from the wing are the WHOLE meaning of the hexagram.
Best wishes
There is only one Wing about the general meaning of each hexagram. So, I can't say : the I Ching say that 23, amongst other things, means something "spoiled". Because the text named Yijing (or I Ching) doesn't gives any other meaning for 23.perhaps better to write "The I Ching says that 23, amongst other things, means something "spoiled"...
Good grief, Chris, if I say -
Chris says, "23 covers an overall focus on pruning/houskeeping which can include reference to the price of NOT doing such."
- then is anyone going to assume that this is all Chris has to say about 23? I think it's reasonable to quote from a body of written work without needing to state at every turn that there is, in fact, also some text you haven't quoted.
A note - for "newbies"! - about the interaction between Jesed and Elvis (Chris) here. Jesed quoted from the Yijing itself, from one of the Wings, the Zagua, that offers a simple definition of each hexagram's meaning. My personal opinion would be that this Wing was written to help students grasp and remember the contrasting meanings of the hexagrams, and there's quite a lot of subtlety in its simplicity at times. So it's not just that when Jesed writes 'The Yijing says...' he's being literally accurate, he's also made (IMO) a good choice of text to quote for someone trying to get hexagram meanings clear in their mind.
Chris objects to this, because he feels that his own work has superseded the words of the original Yijing.
bollocks.
FALSE - my complaint was to the assertion of prose in a thread started by a newbie where the assertion had no references, no qualifications and presented the quote AS IF an absolute assertion of the I Ching. Such an act is MISLEADING to newbies, and the newbie concerned even acknowledged my comments. You really need to be careful on you assertions re my points of view Hilary, read more carefully what is being covered rather than try to symmetrise information into 'competitive' formats ('me vs you') etc etc. The MANNER in which Jesed wrote was at fault IN THE CONTEXT of this thread being from a newbie. Simple.
