hi all,

today I toss coins and I asked: what want that person from me?
the Yi answered with 19-> 48 1.3.5 moving lines

what I understand from the lines... is that this person want that I must be more present in it's life. that I give some more but not directly info about my feeling... and I must understand that our behavior must be adequate in every situation.

I have also 2 ideas about the meaning of 48 as transformation but I'm not really sure about.

any one have some idea bout?

thank you

The Well of the judgment represents invariance over change:

The Well. The town may be changed,
But the well cannot be changed.
It neither decreases nor increases.
They come and go and draw from the well.
If one gets down almost to the water
And the rope does not go all the way,
Or the jug breaks, it brings misfortune.

The person may want constancy from you, constancy like a well. Wells provide water. What does the person find refreshing about you? That is what is wanted. "Almost to the water" suggests that matters should be carried through completely.

thank you pocossin,

but is my analysis about the lines of 19 right?

also what 48 in this case suggested me was.........

48 talk about the well... you can change town but not the well... it's like to say you can play another but still in your hearth you're the same one.
this mean that how we communicate in the presence of other doesn't express/mirror our real feeling.

Yes, I think so. You said

The hexagram concerns presentation of oneself, or as WikiWing has it, "Nearing." Legge says: ". . . action must be governed by rectitude, however, and by caution grounded on the changing character of all conditions and events." Line 1 suggests nearing in company. Line 3, anxious caution. Line 5, an approach that is well informed.

Hi Patro,

Yet another angle on this:

I find it helpful to use the reading system where, if there are three changing lines, you only look at the original hexagram and the resulting hexagram, disregarding the individual lines. This makes for a simpler reading, for example, in this case one would say:

This person wants to get close to you (19) so they can "draw from your well" - sounds like they are looking to build a long-term relationship with you.

For me, the Well hexagram with its various changing lines often comes up for relationship matters.

Let us know your thoughts.

thank you pocossin & hooliganetta.

well hooliganetta your method is helpful in some case for me... I use it only when the hexs suggest me to read it this way. but this was not the case.

your thought about is very nice and very nice expressed.. but I must admit that hex 48 also could be intend "talk behind back" (?)

thank you
