Going through a period of self-reflection, I was curious to know what I am not seeing honestly in my life / about myself. Essentially trying to gain an objective perspective of where I may be keeping rose-colored glasses or blinders on in my life. I received 13.2.3 > 10.

The way I interpret it is something about my social life, friend group. But I’m confused as to whether to interpret it more internally, as the way I socialize or view my social group. Or if it’s me lying to myself about the friend group I’m currently in.

Line 2, from Lise’s website, tells me I am too cliquey, not seeking social contacts outside my pre-established one, keeps me in a box. Or I put my friends in boxes not seeing them for who they really are...?

Line 3 tells me there’s too much mistrust. I have a hard time trusting people, this I know, and it’s preventing me from true connection.

But other interpretations of these lines make me wonder if it’s the friend group I’m with that is too cliquey, they don’t open fully to me, due to mistrust or self-serving agendas.

In hopes of helping me clarify the way I should interpret this (is it me or them?), I asked “What can I do to see this honestly?” And received 41 Decrease unchanging. It didn’t really clear anything up for me because I can see this advising two ways still. (1) decrease my interaction with the friend group. Pull back. Or (2) decrease my way of thinking like that (putting them in “boxes”, being cliquey and mistrusting others.

Your guidance is most welcomed and appreciated. I thank you in advance.

13.2.3 ....
Lately, I've been looking at the hexagrams' meanings and imagery and less so at the Yi's text. So, with 13 you have the trigram (three-line symbol) for Fire below, and the trigram for Heaven - or the Creative - above.

Fire - with it's two moving lines - might be showing you the stuggle you're having with your own clarity and your ability to see things objectively; and here is it possible that you might have a tendency to cling too strongly to your own views - perhaps even when you suspect they are getting in the way of your clarity?

The two moving lines give you the trigram Lake. In it's most basic form, Lake is about joy and here it might be advising to keep a positive attitude. It might also be asking: is your clinging and not seeing things clearly (e.g. your 'blind spots') just not fun anymore? And this might be a simple but completely valid reason for wanting to change.

For Heaven, the Creative above, this trigram can be about planning and goal-setting, which we usually want and need with whatever journey we embark upon. But here, I wonder if you are also being offered a reminder: don't make your transformation be just about the (your) goal, but instead it also needs to be about the journey.

After all, to cling too tighly to what the outcome is going to be (or is supposed to be) is a sure way to miss out on the journey and not see what's right in front of you.

all the best ....
