36.1.4.6 > 56 does x reciprocate my feelings?

[watersprite2]

Well, I know I should stop asking the yi so many questions dammit.

I'm starting to develop feelings for this guy but it's not at a stage where its appropriate to reveal anything ... He has no clue how I feel since I've played it "cool" according to what is appropriate for an early stage. I don't want to ruin it with my neediness... Circumstances just don't allow us to see each other freely... So I'm trying to be patient.

But my body is having such a hard time from holding back expressing my emotions.

I asked.... Does x reciprocate my feelings?

36.1.4.6 > 56

Jesus this does not look good i know my question wasn't phrased well

I take this to mean 56 i feel like i'm wandering around in the dark... 36...hiding my feelings... The lines showing my struggle??

Or is this about us both hiding??

This reads to me like someone who is trying to not attract attention as they are just passing through and not planning on staying. As a response to your question I see it as saying he is not looking to create a relationship at this time.

Thinking about this some more. Is it possible he is very, very shy?

 

[Matali]

Your reading from 36 to 56 is absolutely accurate... It is clear, for now, it is better not to expect too much from him. But, apparently, as you say, you can't see each other freely, so you know the difficulties... Patience...

Hey guys...

Well the strangest thing is that after drawing this hexagram an ex who had cut me off because the breakup was so painful suddenly appeared again. I was wondering if the yi picked up on that energy (which has happened before to me)... He could be the man just passing through

Rosada... The original guy in question is not shy per se... but he was dumped after 12 years with someone and they have a kid. (it's been a few years since this happened)... I'm in the same situation (other way round)... We both still partially live with our ex's because of the kids..

So yes Matali...not completely free of ties. We have to shack up in a tent together when we meet ...

Anyway thank you both for your replies, I'll keep the result of this thread updated. I'll try to be patient

 

[rosada]

Although patience may be helpful, I don’t this reading should be interpreted as giving advice on what your approach or attitude should be. I think that’s a whole separate question.

 

[watersprite2]

Ok so I asked a separate question. "what should my approach be towards x?"

53.5 > 52

Just keep still and it will progress slowly?

 

[Matali]

Ah ah! That answer made me laugh! Yes, you have to be patient... 53.5 : "In the end nothing can prevent it. Fortune": it's as clear as rock water!! You will live together and your story will be true and beautiful ☀
52 is the current "locked-in" situation, as you know... Don't worry !

 

[watersprite2]

It is quite funny true!! Let's see

 

[rosada]

I see 53.5 - 52 as saying your approach should be one of recognizing that your ability to influence or progress is very limited at this time. 52. advises being in The Now. "Do not permit your thoughts to go beyond your current situation." The Image for 52 is two mountains, like a double border preventing you from seeing into the future.

Hexagram 53. is about something very fragile and the importance of not trying to fast forward. Think of the lyrics to "Nice and Easy Does It":
"We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say, but let's take all the stops along the way."

Line 53.5 says this is not a happy position for you, somehow you have been misunderstood and it is sometime before you can be seen as who you really are. However, then you will be able to progress. I wonder if this is a reference to what you've said about your friend having lost confidence in his ability to have successful relationships? Perhaps it's going to take time for him to realize you aren't like the others.

 

[Matali]

53 is not about something very fragile.... " The girl is getting married. Fortune. Perseverance is advantageous. »
Fortune is the line 5.
53 is gradual development, gradual progress... "The hexagram consists of Souen, wood, penetration, above or outside, and Ken, mountain, immobilization, bottom or inside. A tree on a mountain grows slowly and in an order and that is why it then stands firmly rooted. From this comes the idea of a development gradually progressing, step by step. The properties of the trigrams also relate to the same notions: inside is the rest which preserves precipitated actions and outside the penetration that makes possible development and progress." (Wengu Tartarie).

The difficulty here is slowness, slow and gradual progress...

 

[rosada]

Think of 52. Keeping Still as someone in deep meditation. It's no fun to be suddenly jolted out of this state which is why I say 53. Gradual Progress is about dealing with something very fragile. A gentle awakening that allows one to flow into consciousness is much preferred, but it is not easy to do. 53. describes how the awakening can be slow and yet still make progress.

Thank you both for taking the time to interpret this reading. Honestly I really appreciate it so much. There's a lot of sense in both interpretations.

Line 5 in 53 is quite interesting.

The situation doesn't allow us to form a normal relationship. There's too many obstacles right now. We're not free from baggage and on top of that he's always exhausted from his demanding job - which requires him to be away at sea for long periods of time. In the beginning there was much misunderstanding... he'd be waiting for me to contact him and vice versa hahahaha... I was sitting there for 3 days feeling so sad that he'd lost interest only to receive a message from him asking "are you using me? Why haven't you contacted me?".... Now a month later.....Aside from the amazing sexual connection... in truth I wish I could just give him a big hug and tell him that if he ever needs to talk to me about his problems I'm here for him... but I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable!

Oh well.... let's see!!

Don't worry, keep trust ☀
