Does this mean to retreat from progressing in a situation? Or does it mean in a situation of great progess, it's best to hold back?

33.3.5 to 35

Please help.

Hi Millie...

35 isn't just about advancing or progress. It's about a partnership. Look at the hexagram statement without all the commentary. It's about horses mating and multiplying. The ancient Zhou loved their horses. Horses were prize positions. Wilhelm got it (I believe) and alluded to it when he said basically great progress depends on a relationship between a master and his servant. It doesn't have to be a master/servant kind of partnership. It can be any kind of partnership... complementary relationship.

You've got two changing lines. You can choose to read them both... read only the nine in fifth place or not read either of them. Follow your intuition on this one.

Line 33.3 is telling you to get support before you retreat. If you're leaving a job, get another one first or start network... or something like that. If you're leaving a husband, get with an attorney first... etc.

Line 33.5 is interesting. I referred to Freeman Crouch's book, and he says: "Now that you have addressed the concerns of the previous lines, you have successful hunting. Celebration is in order."

Good luck!

Love,

Val

Millie, a bit to add to the above - I think that the advice given *is* to retreat. The retreat may be temporary and may lead to further progress later on, but for the time being retreat.

In a case like this I'd try to recognize the aspect of the situation expressed by that negative 3rd line and find ways to deal with it, quite possibly in the manner recommended in the line text ("nourishing servants" more or less).

The "admirable" aspect of the retreat per line 5 might be because the retreat takes inner resolve - it's not necessarily what you want to do, but it's what you should do. In a way that's not so different than moving line 4 in this same hexagram.

My 2 cents,

- Jeff

You are probably going thru a situation where a series of events consolidates along a central axis. On the surface, things may not appear smooth and promising, but it is a process that fleshs out the old blood, restoring new order to welcome the coming new.

Now, you are halfway thru.
It is time to prepare for the coming new - to meet the Great Person that could help and grow the value in you. A time of retreat is indeed a great time of learning process before the call for action of coming new.

wow. thanks everyone, this situation is actually about a relationship. he misplaced some anger towards me that really belongs to someone else. I was contemplating how to best respond when i received this answer. i'm going to say something eventually, the question was more about when and how.

yes, there are a serious of events involved in this situation. the 35 is such a great hex, i simply didn't know what to do, or what it means, to have that 33 right next door.

Hi again Millie...

Well of course his anger belongs to someone else (other than you). It belongs to him. And my anger belongs to me. And your anger belongs to you. Emotions belong to the person who feels them. To 'blame' anyone else for them is not being responsible.

Love,

Val

I didn't say he did any blaming Millie. And I didn't say you did either. As long as the 'someone else' you referred to (in the statement I quoted) was him, as long as you meant "he misplaced some anger that really belongs to him," then no one did any blaming... no one misplaced any ownership... no misplaced any responsibility.

It's about ownership and personal responsibility. That's all.

Love,

Val

it means let things cool down for a while. You may be able to start a new chapter with your friend with (52) if you stay where you are now and let things take its course.
