4 moving lines

[meganj]

Coming from my most recent posts I am at a point now where I have decided to finally move forward from my ex, I eventually figured out what I knew all along anyways..
and am coming to a place of happiness and being more sure of myself and what I want.
Anyways so I went ahead and asked the Iching "Is there anything in store for me romantically?" and recieved hexagram 58.1.2.3.5 moving to 62
Now I don't necessarily see myself as getting into a relationship anytime soon (actually If it was to happen I think it would take quite awhile for me to commit) but maybe something like a summer fling.
The reading sounds pretty good but was wondering what it's actually saying.
It'd be good to put what I know together with how other people interpret it.
I look forward to hearing about this


Thanks

Don't ya just hate it when that happens?

Imo, your question ["Is there anything in store for me romantically?"] is a bombshell just waiting to go boom, no matter what Yi's answer was. Nonetheless, spot on as usual, Yi spoke of the nature of joy. I'm with Wilhelm, on the idea that within joy there is also melancholy, twins and opposites.

Your lines show the fluctuation and various ways you can experience this lady (girl really) of the lake.

I have a prejudice view of 62. Contrary to the reference to small, it can seem very big at the time. Small pass, or something similar, is how it's apparently translated, but there is nothing small about a mountain or thunder. Those are big images. What is small is you in that picture. Your path is small, and your way is cautious, and you pay attention to every detail, as though your life may depend on it. Emotionally, it can feel like that, very big, or else feel as though you should be doing something big, but it is not the time for that. It's time to pay attention to small things.

Btw, my signature was inspired by 58.3, a response to it.

Haven't been able to get to a computer lately, been so busy!
But yes I see what you mean.
Small as in what though?
And how do you read a hex with 4 moving lines, it's an in between number..........
Thnx

Oh and, the trigrams in the hexagram show the image of the lakes.. 2 lakes coming together as in a meeting?
Things being brought together?

"under certain conditions, intimidation without gentleness may achieve something momentarily, but not for all time. When, on the other hand, the hearts of men are won by friendliness, they are led to take all hardships upon themselves willingly, and if need be will not shun death itself, so great is the power of joy over men."

I seem to take this as saying to me take things slow, too much too fast and you'll be left with nothing before you know it.

Lakes resting one on the other:
"The image of THE JOYOUS.
Thus the superior man joins with his friends
For discussion and practice."

"A lake evaporates upward and thus gradually dries up; but when two lakes are joined they do not dry up so readily, for one replenishes the other."

.... and just going over the lines again, hah (and confused again)
wondering what they are trying to say really, the first 2 sound like virtue, but the other 2 seem to be a warning?

again thnx

That's ok. At least you returned to respond.

Small as in details, things you might overlook as unimportant, but which mean a lot to someone. That could mean a whole lot of different things to someone interested in attracting a romantic partner. Anything from being interested in, what may be to you, small talk, but is important enough for him to mention it, to paying attention to your appearance or your sensitivity level, or his. They're really not small, or they don't feel small to the one who is feeling it, but they could seem not important to others. Those are things that small can refer to, but by no means are limited by.

The lines of 58, rather than making one distinct answer or action out of them, consider them as moving, changing things, posing different perspectives to consider, and possibly different times to consider each.

lake over lake I don't take as happy
but a deep hollow that begs to be filled

read 62.4
Nine in the fourth place means:
No blame. He meets him without passing by.
Going brings danger. One must be on guard.
Do not act. Be constantly persevering.

wait for the right moment

Oh, I guess I thought it looked pretty good, but it isn't apparently :s

62.4 isn't even in the reading.

Not good or bad, Megan, just images of what you're dealing with, not a prediction. This is a conditional situation, and you provide at least half of those conditions.
