20.5.6 to 2

[Apotropaicatom]

Hi,
A person close to me suffers from clinical depression. He has stopped communicating with me for almost a month.

I asked the I Ching " What is the nature of this situation and what's the best way to act on it at the present?"

I got 20.5.6 to 2.

What I understand from this two hexagrams is that I need to seek the help of "allies" - hexagram 2 - in order to be able to observe what's coming next.

Is my understanding correct? I feel a bit clouded in my analysis, at the present.

Many thanks for your help.

Two questions??? Ask each question separately to get clear answers.

Thanks ocenagirl. I've structured the question in such way because Jungian psychoanalyst and I Ching user dr Shinoda Bolen advises on structuring questions this way. I'll follow your suggestion , though. Thanks for your help.

What is the nature of this situation?
Hexagram 20.5.6 - Hexagram 2
It is a situation that you are watching at this time but not actively participating in. A Wait-and-See situation?
What is the best way to act on it at present?
Hexagram 20.5.6 - hexagram 2.
Keep an eye on it but don't take action. Wait-and-see.

Dear Rosada,
Thank you very much for your insight. It is very much a wait and see situation. I need to find the path I've lost by over-stretching for the depressed person.

Thanks.
