I just received word that an old roommate of mine is looking for a new roommate. We lived together about 10 years ago and have stayed in touch throughout the years.

I asked the yi "How does she feel about living with me again?"

I received Hex 41 Unchanged.

Hex 41 Reduce/Increase

This doesn't sound terribly positive. Can anybody tell me what they think this means in regards to my situation? She lives in an ideal neighborhood and I am very open to the idea.

Maybe she'd feel less than you? Diminishing is the theme of 41.

Or maybe something like: her means are modest, she is willing to make do with some inconvenience in order to strengthen her living situation . .

There seems to be an feeling of discontent there . . was your living together a positive experience for her? Is this why you have asked the i ching first and not her directly?

I feel like it was mostly positive when we lived together. We never fought t or anything like that. I did go through a tumultuous phase in my life but we weren't living together then.

If it was only about compromise, I'd expect a 54 and/or 15.

If the direct question was directly answered: "How does she feel about living with me again?" - she feels small. The individual diminishes to the benefit of the whole. Not a bad thing necessarily.

I'm reading this as as yet she doesn't know you are even thinking of living with her again so are you asking the hypothetical question "what would she feel about living with me again if she were aware I was thinking of living with her ?

I find before an event has come to a certain level of manifestation then the Yi can answer quite directly 'not known' so to speak.

Anyhow if this were a direct answer to the question of how she might view living with you I'd say she regards sharing as a necessary sacrifice if she needs the money. Not something shes crazy about doing but something she feels must be done. IOW basically agree with Rodaki except I doubt theres any personal discontent to do with you more likley around having to share at all. Most people I know tend to share not because they want to but for the sake of economy - which of course is what 41 is all about.

It doesn't sound personal, as other posters said. It's either that she doesn't like
sharing much, in general, or it could be something else, unrelated to you. Maybe
she liked her previous room-mate very much, and is sad to see them go, maybe
she'd like to live with a guy, but can't, or who knows. Can't see what harm it
would do to just ask her.

She feels okay with the idea of having less room in which to move around in, and she feels okay with the fact that she must give up part of her freedom when she shares an apartment with another person and she is quite prepared to do that even when it means that she will have to get rid of certain possessions in order to accommodate you or you she. A successful outcome will be the result, so just carry on.

hello everyone!

ok, let me explain and correct (myself):

I mentioned a feeling of discontent (not necessarily personal but still there) that will be willingly put up with mostly because of the image commentary:
The lake at the foot of the mountain evaporates. In this way it decreases to the benefit of the mountain, which is enriched by its moisture. the mountain stands as the symbol of a stubborn strength that can harden into anger

But then of course there is absolutely no reason why this should be directed towards you specifically Openheartsf and not, as others said here, towards the situation itself or the fact that she lost her roommate or anything else implicated in this issue.
And, as Willowfox stressed before, the overall attitude is positive here . .

So I guess there is an empty spot there for you . . :)
good luck with it!

Thanks all! I've learned so much more about Hex 41!

We have been in touch via email and she likes the idea. Her previous roommate was a great situation for her because she was NEVER there, so this will be a bit different for her but I think it will be good. And she had thought the landlord was going to raise the rent significantly but it turns out they aren't and it's perfectly within my price range. I have great hopes that this will all work out. I was feeling insecure which is why I consulted the yi but I guess I didn't need to be.
