Hi, Lys:... My ex fiance and I are/were reconnecting and we had an issue with "physical intimacy" where i wasnt so sure about reconnecting...
Anyways, after that happened he became distant, i tried to talk to him a few times during the week (2) but he was dismissive and said he was busy, i let him be... I asked "What should I expect from X and our relationship now" and I got 22.3.5 with relating hex 42... this talks about a time for beginnings, not for results... not being a time to commit, yet the related hexagram i interpret it as a sign of an evolution of the relationship in the future... [I believe, an evolution of YOURSELF. Ch.]
[H.22] ... a fire that breaks out of the secret depths of the earth ...Grace-beauty of form-is necessary in any union if it is to be well ordered and pleasing rather than disordered and chaotic...
GRACE has success. In small matters It is favorable to undertake something.
W/B
[22.3] Graceful and moist. Constant perseverance brings good fortune. ... a very charming life situation. One is under the spell of grace. Hence the warning not to sink into convivial indolence but to remain constant in perseverance...
Of course, a promise of sexual joy (4), but in the future. If you can learn, with grace, from the experience, it will flourish like a seed and will lead you to H. 42 ALL THE MORE.[22.5] Grace in the hills and gardens. The roll of silk is meager and small. Humiliation, but in the end good fortune.
W/B
That's why W/B prefers GRACE instead of ADORN.to adorn / ornamental / bright / luminous // energetic / strenuous // a family name // large / great [Sears' Chineseetymology].
benefit / profit / advantage / increase / all the more // to increase / to add to / to augment / in a higher degree / to a greater extent /[Sears' Chineseetymology].
So the garden in line 5 can symbolize sex. That's interesting.
I wonder if "small harvest" and "success in small matters" can be positive in that it can mean a little goes a long way, less is more?
What confuses me is that the question itself was about the relationship ...
DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
H.22: Take it with grace and celebrate, but don't go too far, don't commit in long journeys.
H.42: Great promise. Go as far as you need, it will be profitable. Even to cross big rivers will be profitable.
Don't you agree?
Yours,
Charly
Hi, Caustic:Hi, Charly.
Ok, so maybe 22 is saying to not take things too far in the beginning (success only in small harvest); but 42 says that later on down the road it should be beneficial for her to make a big commitment with him. Take things slow in the beginning (22), and make a greater commitment at a later date (42). Am I understanding this correctly?
Hi, Caustic:
Not so sure if "with him". I believe that it's only a great promise in the future, I don't see any issue about with whom.
42 implies the sacrifice of personal wishes for the benefit of someone else. So, H42 implies the desire to receive benefits from others or to extend benefits to them. Hexagram 42 speaks of self-sacrifice and ways that benefits flow.
22.3.5; Getting swamped in line 3. Line five advises you not to compare yourself to people who have more material possessions than you have.
"What should I expect from X and our relationship now" and I got 22.3.5 with relating hex 42.
