12.2.6>47 Strange Result

[galatea11]

Happy New Year to all! I wish everyone many blessings and much success in 2017. Many thanks to Hilary for this wonderful site.

Tonight I continue a long tradition of staying home on New Year's Eve to soothe my animals when midnight fireworks and gun shots begin. My mind keeps floating back to a recent reading. I had asked for guidance on whether I should contact a man who had given me his number at a coffee shop. Response was 12.2.6>47. Thought that 12 and 47 both suggested that I wait for a different time to contact him. Noticed that 6.6 was a transitional line and speculated that maybe man was having conflict (?)

Several days later I did text him and we met for coffee this past Wednesday. Turns out he had been experiencing conflict with a roommate and had consequently been getting very little sleep. We had a nice conversation and, upon parting, he gave me a peck on the lips. Kiss was a bit forward but I was pleased that he liked me. He and I continued to talk on the phone and exchange text messages until last night when, pretty much out of the blue, he started sending me explicit messages and bragging about his sexual prowess (good grief.) I permitted myself a few sarcastic responses and have since resorted to ignoring him. Thankfully he does not know where I live.

Did I miss something in that initial 12.2.6>47 reading? Was it a warning not to contact him? This may sound strange but - even though man turned out to be unsuitable - I had fun putting on makeup and a nice outfit to go meet him. Haven't done that in ages. Mainly just wondering how I should view 12.2.6 in the future should I happen to encounter it again. From the start it seemed like a puzzling reading. Thanks in advance for any help and insight.

12. Standstill describes a situation where there is no mutually shared vision, no empathy. I think you were being alerted that there was no inner, instinctive intuitive connection between the two of you.
12.2 says when there is not a shared energy flow or connection it is hard to read the other person so there can be misunderstandings or those with low intentions can get their way. I think you experienced this when the fellow gave you a kiss and you hadn't seen that coming and you found it intrusive.
12.6 explains that times of Standstill can be brought to an end if a person is strongly motivated. I wonder if this fellow was trying to generate some empathy - get things going - by sending you the insensitive emails?
Anyway, I don't know as the I ching was warning you not to contact him, maybe just pointing out that there wasn't much for you in this.

Hi Rosada,

Thank you very much for your interpretation. I received it yesterday as I was departing on a road trip so I had plenty of time to mull it over. 12.6 had initially seemed an indication that the situation would have a positive outcome. Lol.. I think the positive outcome is that this guy revealed his idiosyncrasies very quickly and I know to stay away from him. We had a fairly intense conversation during our coffee date but nothing of a sexual nature was discussed. For him to start sending sexually explicit text messages was just plain weird, maybe desperate. Then again, other women might view such communication as harmless banter. In any case you are 100% correct about this part:

Thanks again for your time and insight. Happy New Year!
