51.1.4. to 2

[manfredk]

Dear community,
I am reading here for quite a while and this is my first posting.

My native language is not english, so please apolgogize ....

Today I introduced the I ching to a colleage of mine. I told him about it a while back and today he wanted to know more about it.
I told him to formulate a question in his mind and he seemend not to be too serious about it. After taking the oracle he read the corresponding articles.
Which left him quite puzzled. I told him that he has to get a feeling for this ancient sounding words.
His interest got stronger and he told me that he had a serious question right now and ...
the very same oracle returned again.

that was really something ....

I just told him to think the words over, the conversation was in german so I gave him the Wilhelm translation for the two signs resp. lines.

Any ideas ( without knowing the question) ?

thanks and regards
Manfred

Without a question it is extremely hard to give an accurate answer, so I am only guessing here.

Hex 51.1,4 > 2 suggests that your friend will receive some news or information that puts him in a bad light with his associates but later when the truth emerges he will be found to be not guilty of any misconduct. The news or information will certainly upset him at first but in the end he will come out of the situation successfully.
