37. is he my family?

[Azul77]

Hello, I wanted to comment for the first time in this community with a reading that has touched my soul. I want to share it because if you have other ideas, ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.

I would like to clarify that my mother tongue is Spanish and that the translator helped me.



I asked the teacher:

"What did Roberto and I meet for?"



I will tell you a little bit of this story.

He and I met 26 years ago, we had a series of very beautiful and almost magical encounters. Then he drifted apart.

Some time later, when I had another partner, I found out from a third person that he spoke of me as "a special girl".

He is that story that he could not forget despite all these years of silence and not seeing each other again.



The hexagram I came up with is 37, the family. Unchanged. At first I went blank.

Then I went for a walk and thinking about the result I came to these conclusions:

I think he and I met to create a family but it remained in the air, that's why it comes out unchanged. Or we also met to find out what it is to be a family beyond blood, chosen of our own free will. Or that we also met to know where we belong or always want to go back.

But I think I'm missing something. A lot if doubt...

What do you think?

Thank you so much.

I like your interpretation a lot. I drew a blank, but then saw what you wrote

and thought, that makes a lot of sense, especially since it's unchanging as you pointed out.

It also sounds a lot like what Hilary says about 37 in WikiWing:

'People in the Home.
Harvest in a woman's constancy.'

Why the woman's constancy? Maybe she has the earth-like capacities of Hexagram 2: she provides/ creates a space in which all can grow into their natural form, find their place, find connections with others. Also there is space for new things to enter and take root, be integrated into the whole inner ecosystem. That's the home: a space for living in.

(Hexagram 2 isn't part of your reading; I think Hilary mentioned it because 37's oracle says "woman's constancy," which is a big part of 2.)

If you haven't found it already, you might like to read Hilary's essay on 37

Hexagram 37, People in the Home

Its name and nature The name of Hexagram 37 is simply 家人, jiaren, 'Home People' - which also means the members of a family. Here's the old form of the character -- where you can see that a 'home' is an animal - a pig - under a roof. Home is where the pig is; it's the safe place to keep what you va

I have re-read Hillary's explanation, thank you for pointing out such a good explanation.
And thank you for seeing that my interpretation resonates with you as well.
It's one of those readings that stays in the heart and soul.
I dreamt something related to this tonight but my memory is fuzzy....

I see this hexagram as saying that rather than lovers, you two were close like family, like brother and sister or "kindred spirits". So don't feel bad thinking you were somehow "supposed" to marry and have children!
