13.1,4>53 and 46.2>15 about a collaboration

[mythili]

Hx 13 changing to 53 was the response to a question about whether a collaboration I have with someone at work would continue and develop into something fruitful. Although 13>53 sounded optimistic, I interpreted the changing lines in Hx 13 to indicate that it would not be plain sailing, that it might require the two of us to somehow distance ourselves from the existing politics in our respective departments to make the collaboration into a long-standing one. Could the reading be also suggesting what our respective roles should be to make the collaborative effort successful? Hx 53 - let things improve at a pace set by him (my collaborator) and not by me? Looks like a lot of layers in this reading...

So then I asked the Yi to comment on the correctness of my overall interpretation(!!!), which was that the collaboration would work out in the end; and the response was 46.2>15. I dont quite understand this changing line, and particularly the reference to the small sacrifice. Is the Yi just saying yes, the interpretation is correct, or is it perhaps saying that I will need to make some sacrifices before the collaboration can solidify?

Thank you for any help or insight that you can give me on this.

Hi Shobana

Your first question is sort of being answered by saying what you put into the collaboration is what you'll get out of it. High horses need to be tossed aside and clear positive thoughts maintained for the most fruitful outcomes. Common goals are important, not private politics, for this relationship to work at it's best.

So then I asked the Yi to comment on the correctness of my overall interpretation(!!!), which was that the collaboration would work out in the end; and the response was 46.2>15. I

46 - What you achieve will be through your own efforts and your attitudes towards it.
46.2 - Give it your all, don't hold back with the honest approach you give to the relationship. If anything....maybe just lighten up a little.
53 - LiSe calls this Hexagram 'Give and Take'.

It may be that the Yi is answering something unspoken about your thinking that your collaboration would work out fruitfully in the end.

Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply - you've really helped me understand this set of readings. Especially the need for me to lighten up - I've never really seen 46.2 in that light before. I've been getting this pair of readings fairly often in response to this question.
Cheers, and best wishes for the new year!.
