17.5 to 51 Another relationship question

[anton]

Hi Everyone,
I asked the question at the beginning of January

?What will happen between X and I in the next month??

I ended up with 17.5 > 51. 17.5 seems to be a good hex from what I can tell from the translations I have read and I have no idea how 51 fits into it. I did a search on the I Ching community search engine for 17.5 and didn?t find much on this line. I know everyone must be getting tired of giving help with all these relationship questions but it someone could find the time for some input, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Anton

Relationship questions are like lovers--fascinating to themselves, boring or even downright annoying to everyone else. ("What on earth do they see in each other?") But relationships do make the world go 'round (verrrrrrry slooooowly to onlookers), so tally-ho!

You don't see how an arousing shock might fit into the notion of a relationship, huh? C'mon, use your imagination.

17.5 line 5 is representative of having a personal direction or a goal; a load stone is a magnetic rock, a compass; possibly a map to you desired goal? A well thought out plan of action.

The comentary in relationship issues? This is only a gut feeling here OK? The very nature of you posing you question in a vague mannor may have a bearing on 51. 51 may say if you or X have a fear based attractions in the past or now for any reason it may well be you should face them and clear out old personal issues. Fear is always of the unknown or a parallel bad experience, Shock is a reaction to the unexpected and not always unplesant.

Calumet, its funny how when you read someone else?s relationship question, you think to your self why are they even asking the Yi that? Then two months later you meet someone and you?re asking the same thing. Two weeks from now I will probability be laughing about it.

Jerryd, 17 line 5 is dealing with a goal or plan? The translations I have gone threw say thing like

?You have made the connection. It will lead you on to real achievements. Have no doubts. Follow it. The way is open? (Karcher)

?Aim high. Do not settle for anything second-best or mediocre. If you sincerely want the best, you will get it? (Dening)

I find the line interesting and it seems that not too many people have received the line or have not asked about it if they did from the searches I?ve done. If you two or anyone else has anything more to add about the line or the question feel free.

Thanks
Anton

From the I ching on Love by Guy Damian Knight:

17.5 "You are following a star of love with utmost faith. You will be blessed for your constancy, for such a calling is rare indeed."

51: the shock and thrill of new found love?
Good Luck to you.

For what it's worth,
In the past I have received 51 regarding a couple of relationships, and it has been good. Very good. You know the song, "I feel the earth, move, under my feet, I feel the sky tumbling down, I feel my heart start to tremble, whenever you're around ..." You get the meaning.
