11.6 > 26-- Relationship question

[mousse]

Hello,

I casted the IC last evening and I got 11.6 > 26. My question was: given the situation with my hex, if I wait to have a relationship with him, what will happen?

Gosh, now i see my question is weird... anyway... I got 11.6 >26 . 11.6 sounds not that good. I read previous threads about hex.11 and 11.6. LiSe mentioned it is not a bad line. Maybe not since it moves to 26.

I understand it as: don't do anything right now, things fell apart and if you do anythingelse, it will bring shame. So, if I don't do anything and don't force the situation it will bring good things (hex.26). I'd like to have your advice/insights on both hex 11 and hex.26. Also I try to figure out one thing: my question was about a potential relationship with my ex boyfriend. Does the IC say, forget it and it will bring good future. Or just don't do anything for now and it will bring you nice thing with him ?

I apologize for my broken english. Thank you very much :bows::bows:

Hex 11.6 suggests that there is no point in waiting for a relationship with this guy as things have taken a bad turn, you will only make a fool of yourself if you persist.

Hex 26 wait, prepare and be ready for someone new to enter your life.

Thank you very much Willowfox for your interpretation.

I threw 11.6 last night - even reading everyones commentaries I wonder what the actual counsel is ? The situation is the walls that were your defence have tumbled into the moat so its no time to attack, but does that mean the counsel is one should or should not try to defend what one has ? Is the counsel just to lay low not to do anything to help yourself at all - or is laying low all you can do ?

Just wondering what others views of the advice of this line is - seems a bit hopeless, maybe thats the message of the line ?

I recall getting it once when asking if i should take some antibiotics - seemed quite literal, defenses down etc so i took them - but wasn't that sure that was the advice

Hi Trojan,

Just a thought. 11 is a state of perfect equilibrium, which when reached, is volatile. Perfection is the easiest thing to disrupt. When line 6 is stressing, the upper trigram changes from earth to mountain. It becomes hardened and inert: the image of a fortress. Since the power of heaven is beneath, there can be an inclination to war and conquer. But such warring would topple the structure of equilibrium; so the council is: do not advance ones army now, but rather reestablish equilibrium from within.

Hmm I see, I think i get thrown off by the references to 'army' and 'attack' when my questions have no element of confrontation in them. Just maintaining equilibrium would make more sense. Maybe its something like 'you have your hands full don't try more' ?

I've got 11 a lot recently. I was wondering about 11.2 over in the Divination discussion a few days ago too. ( http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?t=4486 )

I think this line is very much to do with not pushing your luck - bit like 62 - yet with this hex and this line perhaps it's changing into 12 as a natural cycle. Not much you can do except ride the wave and maintain the harmony within yourself so that it does not get disrupted by the disharmony without.

“Army” can simply be, using a offensive posture to maintain ones stronghold of peace: it’s contrary to the peacekeeping mission. Best not to use it now.

 

[bruce_g]

In contrast, 26 holds back and tames force.

Trojan, please keep in mind, I'm not commenting on your reading, only on the line as it stands. We can't just throw half of it away because we don't see how it fits our reading, right?

Peace/balance/equilibrium/unity (11) rely half upon the strong yin element on top. If the top line changes, that changes the entire structural dynamic.

Would "don't be proactive now" fit your question better?

Hello all,

Well so I'm not the only one confused with 11.6! I think to lay low would be better for my question. For trojan's I odn't know. Maybe I shouldn't push my luck (anyway there's nothing I can do now except go with the wave and see what happens). Should I understand that if I go with the wave and don't try to forces things, it will bring good things : hex.26? I'll able to see things clearly and/or tame the (my?) forces? The more I think about it the more I get confused.

Thank you :bows:

Sorry, Mousse. Didn't mean to talk around you or leave you out of the loop.

I think that's safe to say, yes.

For me, 26 always seems to be good advise. Can't think of a time when it can't be applied well. 11 is a nice ideal to shoot for, but it's a little illusive most of the time, as though it is the culmination of time and work.

Try to find your inner equilibrium despite not getting what you want right now; don't get in a state and act with restraint. No confusion there just too much anticipation

Yeah I know you weren't commenting on my reading, I'm just thinking over how to think of 'peace keeping forces' so to speak when one can see no need for such in ones question


Mousse my personal opinion is that 11.6 doesn't of itself promise good fortune if one lays low so to speak, I get the feeling more that one just avoids disgrace/trouble.

Actually 'avoiding disgrace' might be fitting for my reading - I could see it as 'let this matter drop' which yes like Bruce said could be advised as not to be proactive in it.

So to return to your specific question Mousse, with my understanding of 11.6 so far it would seem more in your interests not to wait for your ex because you would be waitng expectantly and i can't see that 11.6 encourages that. As i recall your ex is now with someone else, yes ?

oops crossed posts with Topal - agree with that

Hi Trojan,

Yep unfortunately he told me he met someone. So yes I should try to forget him...not easy though. Thank you guys for your help.
