Hey everyone. So I know the whole issue about how it's generally not the best thing to ask the Iching someone's feelings for you... but I've been needing to get into contact with my ex in the next few days about some notes for school he asked me for a long time ago, and I was gonna use it as an excuse to see if he'd try and keep talking to me or at least be friendly. We aren't on bad terms or anything, there's just tension... we haven't communicated in over a week (which is a while for us) and I'm overly curious as to what's going on in his head.

So I asked, "What does T feel for me right now?" And got hexagram 46.3 > 7 (Pushing Upward / The Army)... I've gotten this once before not long ago, but I'm confused as to how to exactly interpret it. (I'm new at this!)

My guess (if the IChing is in fact expressing how T feels, not me) is that it could possibly mean he's not getting anywhere positive with me by being hostile and essentially not talking to me at all, but he's not exactly causing any harm either... so he's "pushing upward" but not really going anywhere. And he's content with that cause he doesn't know what else to do/doesn't wanna cause conflict or confront me.

OR

He's avoiding confrontation with me to avoid fighting... he feels like everything we once had and worked for when we were together (pushing upward), eventually turned into what we have now (almost nothing if we continue on at this rate...)

This is just my guess because I know what kind of guy my ex is... I know how his mind works. I was just wondering if anyone else had an opinion on this hexagram?

Thanks!

Dear ellewoods,

My experience with Hex 46.3 has been as a deceptively favourable situation. It is one of those occasions when you think that you are moving forwards so easily, so you keep moving as though circumstances were in your favour. It is a nice feeling, like "that is good, I am getting there", problem being that there is nothing really "there". For me, this line has always represented some sort of disappointment and results that have fallen behind my expectations.

Sorry:bows:

Yes if you are looking for a relationship an "empty city" may not be the place to find it? Hexagram 7 is sometimes associated with sadness I was told?

Sorry to add a downbeat message....

It's alright, I did ask for yall's input after all...

But after asking the Iching this morning to show me a picture of T and I's current situation... I got Hexagram 8 unchanging - Seeking Union?

Gosh this is all so confusing...

Hello ellewoods,

Just to add something to my post. That is how 46.3 has always panned out for me. But another way of interpreting the image of the "empty city" is to consider it as a place that is not ready for you to live in. You can imagine that residents abandoned the city because the houses were old and needed doing up OR maybe it is a new development and actually the new residents have not moved in yet. Either way, the conditions are not there yet.

Perhaps, it depends on how you decide to approach the situation. You might think that it is worth spending some money to revamp a place for you OR you decide that an "empty city" is a good place to start your own community ;)

However, the main question still remains: whether or not to take the "empty city", where in a way or the other there is some work to be done, some sort of project that has to be developed.

So, you asked the Yi to show a picture of you and your ex's current situation and Got Hex 8. Your reading seems to be saying that the intention of union is present -maybe open as the "empty city"?? - but are you and your ex really doing anything to hold together?

I hope that it has not become even more complicated:D

Thanks guys!

Mirian, I think I understand both your interpretations for 46.3 as being plausible! I guess all I can do is keep track of this reading and see how everything pans out and see for myself what this could mean...

As for Hexagram 8 showing union as being the intention... I'm praying Yin is not just showing me a mirror image of myself, because I'm highly aware that I want union... :confused:
