Hi all!

I recently did this reading asking if i can expect a certain person to re-surface in my life
and got
12.3 -> 33

I'm quite new to I ching and not sure how to to intepret it, though it sounds quite negative to me. It talks about feeling sheepish, feeling shame, I'm not sure it refers to me. I dodn't do anything wrong or anything that would make me feel that way. On the other hand, I read somewhere that this line may just reflect how I feel, unhappy and stuck.

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks a lot!

HI tali,

Hmm. Yes it does seem quite negative. My impression is that this certain person feels ashamed and so is in retreat - quitting while they're ahead. Could it be that this person is afraid of you rejecting or attacking them hence protecting himself?

In any case, sounds like this person, or you, are currently dealing with negative feelings in the relationship. Is this the case? If so, it could be a misunderstanding, if you don't feel ashamed or that this person has anything to feel ashamed about.

Maybe you should contact them if you want to find out?

Dear Em Ching,
hope things are well for you in China.

It actually makes a lot of sense what you've said. It's not the first time I hear
about him afraid of me :)

Imagine a guy is afraid of me, a girl....how crazy is that :)

I'm curious if anyone has another take on this reading.
I can't figure it out on my own.

Hi Tali

A couple things here. First, as far as the reading, while I don't totally disagree with what has been said above, let me add that line three is the point in hexagram 12 where things actually take a turn for the better. The person in line 3 "bears shame because he/she begins to realize their actions or activities have not been entirely above board. Now their attitude is beginning to be somewhat repentant. They still may need time though to feel comfortable approaching you.

The other thing, not I Ching related. Imagiine a guy afraid of a girl. Do you have any idea how much damage a woman can do to a man's social life? She can totally destroy him. If he shows an interest and she backs away, other people will notice that, then they will back away from him too. Women can totally destroy a man's social life with as much as a cold shoulder. Men have very good reason to fear women. Men have to be extremely, and I mean extremely careful about their interactions with women. I don't know if anything like this could apply in this case, however.

I wouldn't count on it, but then I don't know the situation. There is a bigger story here than has been given us. I am just talking about the meaning of the line in relationship to the hexagram. You will have to decide which part of it applies. What is it he needs to repent of? And if you like him, why do you call him a bastard? Never mind, I know the answer to that one, although it has always been a source of amusement to me that we refer to our loved ones that way.
