38 > 39

[Pure_Heart]

Sorry, Rosada, I have created a muddle of excitable Yeekery and derailed your thread.

Sooo, by 'opposites' on this thread we only mean 'the hexagram that results if you change all 6 lines'. A boring structural fact about hexagrams is that each has an opposite. What this might actually add up to in terms of those hexagrams' meanings is a whole other kettle of fish. 38.1.2.3.4.5.6 changes to 39. All the other hexagrams have at least one line in common with 38, but 39 is different at every line. Make of this what you will!

A pair of hexagrams is odd-numbered followed by even-numbered. 1 with 2, 3 with 4, etc. You're right that most pairs aren't also opposites; only a few are: 1-2, 11-12, 17-18, 27-28, 29-30, 53-54, 61-62, 63-64.

Hi Hilary

Appreciate this is an old thread however I can’t find anything anywhere else that will help me with translating this exact oracle that I have received today - 38.1.2.3.4.5.6 changing to 39.

I’ve only been undertaking I Ching readings for 18 months and this is the first time I’ve had all 6 lines changing, it feels extremely significant, and obviously a very rare occurance

My exact question was - What type of approach should I take towards X (significant X who I am currently at an impasse with)

Wasn’t sure if I should post this here or in SR, seemed relevant to this thread though and like i say I am so far unable to find anything else that covers this exact sequence

Would be most grateful for any guidance

Hi Pure Heart,

You originally posted this in this ED thread

Hexagram Opposites

We've been discussing hexagrams and their opposites over on the "Major difference between 25.1 - 25.6" thread. It led me to want to look at all of them as it seems by looking at a hexagram and it's opposite you can get a clearer sense of it's meaning. So, just writing my thoughts out here...

so that tells people what you are referring to in your quote.

I think you will get more replies for your specific reading here in your own thread as that thread was about opposites but as it is relevant hopefully people will see the connection.

Hello Pure Heart. I was wanting to review the the original thread you posted this on but now that this has been moved I don’t remember what it was. Can you tell me?

First impression of 38 39 is it seems to describe the struggle to detach and go forward on ones own. 38.is like when when you have an older sister and everything you do is compared to what she did so you’re trying to be your own person yet 39 says that’s kinda lonely going off by yourself and besides you’re still connected to Sister - Like 38 is “Me and Sis” and 39 is “Me and not Sis” but it’s still a connection with Sister. Maybe describing a love/hate relationship eventually getting to 40 where you Release and forgive all and really move on.
As for how this might apply to your connection with X it says to me you are somehow closely intertwined with the guy - maybe even a karmic thing where he has traits that remind you of things you don’t like about yourself like two siblings sharing the same DNA - and likewise maybe there are things about this sibling that you really enjoy. Sort of a “Can’t live with him, can’t live without him” situation. Anyway, seems your attitude towards him should be to recognize and strengthen where you do agree or where the connection works or is helpful and be careful about burning bridges because 39 suggests you may need to come back and ask for his help down the road.

Can’t get into the lines right now. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

Thank you Liselle, and for Rosada it was specifically page 4 of that thread where yourself and Hilary were discussing 38 to 39 specifically

The reading still feels very significant and profound, all 6 lines changing (a first for me) the sequence of 38 to 39 and opposing hexagrams. Trying to understand what I should take from all this especially in relation to my question

Thanks Trojina for moving to the correct location

Happy New Year to all

What type of approach should I take towards X (significant X who I am currently at an impasse with)

38 <> 39

'The Shadow Lands' through 'Limping'

The approach to undertake will be quite a drastic one for you, as you will need to modify completely the approach you have adopted within both your inner world and your outer world. There are things that you are accepting of that you would be wiser to reject and things that you are rejecting that by accepting would help you through the impasse (38). This inability to embrace wise discernment and discrimination means that you swim in a dark and stormy sea of hardship, perhaps one even of your own making (39).

Your approach is being directed by the nuclear influences of 63 'Already Fulfilled' towards an inevitable unfolding of circumstances that will allow for the correcting of your approach regarding matters between the two of you.

... of course, there may be other interpretations that hold more meaning for you.

Good Luck
