Hello, I'm new here. Not sure if I'm doing it correctly. I just wanted to know what people can tell me about how they'd interpret 44 lines 2 and 3. My question was in reference to a potential boyfriend. I'd appreciate any advice. I can't find the interpetations for the lines anywhere. Thank you. Chloe.
44 is by far the most misunderstood hexagram in the Yi (22 is second). This is mainly because people jump way too quickly to the wrong conclusion about the "woman power" thing and will twist every subsequent word in the text to fit this misunderstanding.
It may help to think of this as being about the effort to resist dissipation, distraction or untimely action - an act of self-preservation.
especially where my own inner bitch is concerned.

44 was the relating hex. Don't recall the initial hex or line but I recall it was saying about being myself.
25.1.2.3 > 44?
to MY eyes 44 often coincides with what's known as 'confirmation bias' . .
Another good word for 44 is Restraint -
.
THE IMAGE
Under heaven, wind:
The image of COMING TO MEET.
Thus does the prince act when disseminating his commands
And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.
do you mean in terms of how people interpret it? or that 44 describes 'confirmation bias' situations?... because if you mean the former then you could say that about every hex and could find plenty of examples in the forum archives.
Bradford, could you elaborate your pov regarding 44 image?
I understand the "restraint" and I can recall reading with such a message, but what confuse me is the 44 image. Disseminating and proclaiming sound opposite to restrain. What the prince do here? Is he restraining through proclaiming?
add: An additional question . I have read in this forum that the word "prince" from some is translate as ruler/prince/ princess/queen. If we switch the gender in the image's text , then is it safe to assume that the woman does the restraining ?
For me it's still the good fight - against entropy. That wind is going to blow his words away and get them all confused and turned around. So he's extra careful and practices redundancy, speaking to all four quarters, with a message that may be tailored to each. So to me he's being careful with his proclamations, minding what the winds of time can do.
Apantomacy, from the greek 'apontomai' for 'to meet', it is the art and practice of divination by omens drawn from chance meetings with animals or things.
The old superstition of the black cat bringing bad luck when it crosses a person's path is one example of Apotomancy which has survived to present day.
Forecasts were usually made from chance meetings with animals, such as birds, cats, dogs and hares, making Apontomancy closely related to zoomancy....Another branch of apotomancy dealt with prognostications made from any objects which happened to present themselves, or that were 'at hand', so to speak. It could be argued that these were chance meetings with inanimate things.
Chance encounters with animals have been, and in some parts of the world still are, believed to be full of meaning. In medieval Europe, accidentally meeting a hare or a goat foretold imminent good luck.
But according to Henry Waton's Gospelles of Dystaues (1507), it was an evil sign to meet a rabbit or hare. By the 19th century, a magical method of protection against the hare was devised. It consisted of spitting over the left shoulder and reciting the following charm:
"Hare before, trouble behind.
Change ye, Cross, and free me."
Would someone please tell me how to delete a thread please? My questions have been answered. Not sure if it's possible to delete or not.
Thank you, Chloe
I was web surfing and this page made me think of 44, certainly I have felt superstitious energies and come across as 'bad omens' when casting 44, feelings of anxiety over unseen energy. Its interesting to think of coming to meet as something unexpected crossing your path and using that chance meeting for divination.
anyway this is from www.occultopedia.com...
Now a small disclaimer, dont use this against Topal, s/he (I only know you as a hare Topal) is a good omen hare.
Hi, Chloe:Wow, thank you everyone for your replies.
Have decided to just go the path of least resistance and be present and watch grasping tendencies. I don't think I can go too far wrong with that.
