38>53

[wind]

Good evening all. I come to you with a tricky reading.

I asked the Yijing to show me an image of myself and a person being together and received 38.1.2.3.4.5- 53

I typically would not read the moving lines when there are so many and just read the judgment from the hexagram alone and the resulting hexagram.

Am I wrong to read this as, "You're completly estranged right now, but progress is being made"?

Your thoughts and feedback are much appreciated

When a fish has many bones, fillet it?

Personally, I still think lines play as important a role whether there's one or six. It's just a progressively changing or evolving situation. I've also found that 38, along with it's lines, can be an entirely internal event rather than opposing something outside. If 53 is seen as the nursing wisdom factor here, it could be providing the antidote for the restless nature of all these opposing symptoms. Within is stability, even tranquility; without is penetration. This is shown even within lines 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of 38.

Hi wind I wouldn't say completely estranged but certainly separated on many levels but at the same time something is getting sorted out.

38.1 → 64 (Not Yet Complete), Richmond:
Regret disappears. Do not chase after the lost horse, it will return.
Although there is evil company he does not mix with it.

I take it you are at a disagreement with someone right now.
If I'm right then this line asks to just wait for emotions to calm down.

64.2 → 35 (Progress), Crowley: Retire in the face of overwhelming odds.
Reinforces that.

35.3 → 56 (Journeying), Daniels: Progress depends on encouragement from others.
When he is ready he'll let you know and your relationship will progress.

56.4 → 52 (Keeping Still), Daniels: Things are going well, but you are not content.
Appreciate what you get, and don't ask for more.

52.5 → 53 (Gradual Development), Daniels:
Curb your tongue. Choose your words carefully.
Maybe just an advice to avoid further conflicts.


Looking at the hexagrams - I agree with your interpretation. You are opposites, yin/yang, + and -, which is a good thing, but you'll have to work to make a lasting union, to develop yourself slowly, working out the quirks and polishing the sharp edges.

It's the kind of cast that might be seen in many ways. My first impression FWIW was being struck by the yang change pattern here as 43, yin 23. Almost has an 'all or nothing' feel to it in it's current state. There certainly seems to be a strong theme of you needing to be who you are and the other who they are because you are very different. Seeing the 38 then the 43 yang pattern I felt there's a strong bid for being an individual here, stating what you want, what you feel you belong with and what you feel you don't. How that might play out between you I don't know. I wondered even if just by being together you make a statement to others ? With so many change lines, looking to the change patterns 43 decides and 23 sheds. The yang pattern can be what bought you in to the question, the yin pattern may be another way through the situation.

But the 53 here casts quite a different light on all that work with differentiating happening between you. It might almost look like a picture of 2 people who are placed together in an on going situation in which they gradually comes to terms with one another ? Such situations might be for example work colleagues at the same desk, kids put in the same dorm at summer camp....and yet the 53 suggests far more eventually. 53 takes it's time and goes through all the preordained procedures and might all those lines in 38 also look like steps taken towards or within this union in 53 ?

I don't know to be honest. It isn't a reading where it's immediately very clear what it's saying. I think you might do well to see those lines as steps taken within the whole 53 process. Can you recognise where you are now in those lines of 38 ?

Thank you all!

I really should have specified that this relationship is with a colleague that was very close to me and our difference of opinions had separated us for some time. He is indeed a male. Now in the turn of events and the stipulations of the business world, there is a great chance for both of us to advance professionally if we group together. We are able to achieve great things together and I can't help but feel excited over this prospect!


I have a tendency to agree to disagree with people and I guess that can be taken as being snarky, even when it wasn't my intention. I just see no point in arguing after the facts have been laid out. Sure there's always room for interpretation, but I refuse to ever engage when the other party tends to get hostile. It goes no where quickly.

I feel the years between has made him mild. That's good- for him and to be mindful of what we'd like to undertake. After much thought, I truly feel this union will be a great benefit to ourselves, but more so a great resource for our community of patients.

I totally see where I am in the stages of 38, Trojina. We're somewhere between 38.4, cruising over to 38.5. It's more of a Sunday drive on its way over, but I guess that where that 53 comes into play. There is a benefit of two like people working together toward a goal. We just need the last bit of opposition to fall away.

So the answer still lives within yourself, and the opposing ideas and how they are carried out. This, more than anything, is what the Yi speaks to, no matter how far we may wander to find fault in the other, the solution is within ourselves.
