Ok, the title's a bit exaggerated, but that's the basic idea - what is the relationship between the relating hexagram 11 and the 51 main hexagram?

I asked recently what the future of my relationship with my boyfriend looks like, having had some other unsettling readings about this lately. 51 and its three changing lines all sound like I'm in for an unpleasant shock.

But what's the 11? I do feel like there's harmony at this moment, though things have been up and down overall. I guess I'm just wondering if there will be a shock but then things will go back to being in harmony? Or alternately, there will be a shock and then our relationship will be over and events/change will flow very quickly from that? I'd be grateful for any input!

The 11 is your relating hexagram, and that usually shows the context in which you are asking your question. Sometimes the relating hex indicates your wishes, and on occasion it shows the result. Since you said you are currently experiencing harmony, the 11 seems like the context.

I would say the 51 points to many sudden shocks. Is he a man who yells sometimes? Hex 51 points to a thunderous, unsettled person, I'd say, and he will bring that unsettled quality into the relationship.

You're numb from shocking/distressful events. Hexagram 11 advises you to seek harmony in your relationships with compatible partners.

Thanks for the input! I guess for greater context I should say that this is a 7 year relationship, though we were separated for part of this past year. I've been moved back in for a couple of months while we try to reconcile, so that is why I'm wondering about the future - whether it will work or not.

Yes, he does have angry outbursts sometimes, which has been one of my main difficulties in the relationship in the past.

Has anyone had 51.3 mean any positive shocks/sudden new activity? Certainly lines 2 and 4 don't sound like a positive outcome. But he also does have these sudden, kind of electric new ideas for work things we could do together, which has been happening lately too. So I don't know whether to gamble on that as positive sudden changes to my life, or whether there will be more personal, negative shocks coming up that would undermine any of that.

I've had 51.3 recently. I was looking for good oranges (not half-yellow-green sour acid ones, ughh), but for real orange coloured at least half-sweet oranges.
I asked Yi about a particular store, went there and the oranges were not ripe enough, but
- surprise - the Golden apples were on sale (-50%) and they were really golden - not the green kind they usually sell.

The price tag was old, and I only found out the real price after getting the cashier's check.
I went there the next day and the price tag was updated, and I bought even more apples.

That's the quality of 51 - unexpected happens.

That's a funny example, thanks for sharing. :) Well, if I think of getting 51 as a main hexagram as purely unexpected happenings, then I suppose I can't really plan or gauge what to do until the unexpected events actually happen. But I guess I just didn't know whether it already had - sudden proposed major work project that we might do together which would be a major new thing - or whether there are other (potentially less desirable) unexpected things still to come in the near future.

I really wish I knew whether the relating Hexagram 11 was only how things are currently or has anything to do with the general outcome, too, since it seems so different qualitatively than some of those dire 51 lines! It's hard not to feel apprehensive or fearful when it seems like a divination tool is pointing to some sort of shock that will happen but hasn't yet.

I think you got hex 11 because you fervently wish for peace and a sort of harmonious flourishing quality to your relationship! Also, as you said, currently you and he are getting along well . . .

Line 3 moving in hex 51 indicates a need for thunderous impetuosity, a need to act quickly. Or it may signify that someone is being impetuous. In any case, no harm comes of it. :)

Thanks! Well, I hope you're right about the 'no harm comes of it.' :) I will try to remember to come report back with what happens after whatever 51-esque events come to pass.
