I have recently cast two 11uc.
For one question, the answer Flow meant a very simple "no".
My recent experience chimes in with knot's--I asked (as a follow up immediately after interviewing), "Will I get the job?" and Yi replied with 11 unchanging. I got the job.
Oh... 11 was one of those hexagrams I considered "very" positive, as is described in all the I-Ching books.
To be honest, the experiences scared me.
Oh it’s so fitting to read that! I just asked Where is my him?, meaning where is my soul mate, the man meant to be mine, and got 11un. And you write engage.It was a big mistake for Wilhelm to name 11 "Peace"
A better name might be "Engage," with Picard's accent
Maybe equilibrium, but, more often than not, dynamic.
Hi, Olga:Oh it’s so fitting to read that! I just asked Where is my him?, meaning where is my soul mate, the man meant to be mine, and got 11un. And you write engage.
Makes me smile.
Maybe he is engaged to someone else!
Hi, Olga:... The advice would be «stay alert to catch the opportunity at the fly, don't let it escape». Uncle Hanzi says that the original meaning of 泰 tai4 was «SLIPPERY» which can have a double meaning, a very positive feature in practice or a tendency to avoid relationship engagement...
My experience with 11 uc is, that there are possibilities, but that's it. It is up to you to grab them. If you don't, then nothing at all happens, or things glide off steadily into the gutter. If you do, then everything glides just as easily upwards.
Hi CharlieIt could be understood as a TRUE GREAT PERSON, a CULTURAL HERO, or a DYNASTY FOUNDER, somedoby saved from the WATERS, like Moses or like the Great YU.

Hi Olga:Hi Charlie
Would it be him to have a tendency to avoid engagement or me?
Since slippery is the original meaning of "big man", then it should be him.
Years ago I was told exactly the opposite by a friend of mine, who was studying the I ching deeply at the time. I can't recall any time when 12 UN meant yes, go for it. But I recall that 11 UN has often brought a feeling of there being too much flowing, scary almost, so in the end I didn't follow the flow either. To me 11 means the door is open wide. It's up to you to decide whether you want to go beyond it and see what lies ahead. 12 is more like a door closed.in 11uc, Heaven is below Earth, contrary to their expected position, and that means no, even though 11 usually elicits a positive response; in 12uc things are where they should be, Heaven is above Earth, so that means yes
Years ago I was told exactly the opposite...
It was only when I was writing this that I remembered what a Taiwanese Daoist teacher had told me many years ago: there are 4 hexagrams in the uc form that actually clearly answer yes or no to our questions: in 11uc, Heaven is below Earth, contrary to their expected position, and that means no, even though 11 usually elicits a positive response; in 12uc things are where they should be, Heaven is above Earth, so that means yes; in 63uc, all the lines occupy their proper places (1 yang, 2 yin, 3 yang, 4 yin, 5 yang, 6 yin) so the answer here means yes, whereas in 64 uc all the lines are out of place, which means the answer is no. It was actually a relief to remember the lesson from my Taiwanese teacher because the feeling upon seeing the answer was clear, I shouldn't go.
But then why these four yes/no uc hexagrams evoke different responses in different people? When I studied Feng Shui and learnt how to use a pendulum, I was told that we have to establish our own communication with it: we decide if the pendulum rotating clockwise means yes or no, and same with anti-clockwise. And from this foundation, we develop a communication with it.
It's nothing like the pendulum, we don't entirely make up our answer
Yi has 4096 different meanings for you to discover and learn, not make up.
I think that based on our pattern of experiences with the Yi Jing, we get conditioned to interpret the hexagrams and lines in a certain way. That is why I find the forums here so useful in helping us to get in touch with other views, experiences and interpretations.Years ago I was told exactly the opposite by a friend of mine, who was studying the I ching deeply at the time.

I will pay attention in the future to see if I can find some order and "yes feeling" in a 12 UN.
Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take the full Yi Jing course with the Taiwanese teacher I mentioned before, because he was teaching other things and then he died. He had a very traditional way of reading things. I know it's difficult to associate 12uc with a yes answer. But here the meaning is not in the name and images it brings: blockages, stagnation, etc. The yes comes from the fact that everything is in its proper place. It's just a technique of getting a quick yes/no answer, in case you get the four hexagrams in their unchanging form.I think that based on our pattern of experiences with the Yi Jing, we get conditioned to interpret the hexagrams and lines in a certain way.
