Hello
Among lots of questions I have asked the I Ching, two received the same result: 55.1 >62.

First question: Describe my love life during March.
Second question: What is going to happen between me & X [in near future]? Context: I have a crush on X but am unlikely to meet him, unless someone introduces us or so. I like my feeling, but there is nothing to do practically.

Hexagram 55 is abundance; being at one's best, like the sun at noon. I'll interpret 55.1 as having a very good & fruitful relationship for a limited length of time. I don't know how to interpret the hexagram 62 in my case.

So I'll meet my "lord & mate" in March, and the relationship would be honorable even if short-term (I hope so). As for the guy ... I don't see any chance to start a relationship with him in real life. Is there any other way of interpreting the line, such as considering it metaphorical rather than actual? I've read threads about this line & nothing abstract was mentioned.
And, could receiving the same answer for both questions indicate a unique happening; in other words, the guy being the mate I'm to meet in March?

Thanks

hi marybluesky :)

to me 51.1, in both cases, sounds rather promising but it also seems to hint at possibly having to make the first move of some sort, yourself? only recently i started paying a lot of attention if the translation (Wilhelm's usually) is mentioning going vs coming - here it clearly states that going meets with recognition > one may go forth, in order to make one's influence felt.

the resulting 62: PREPONDERANCE OF THE SMALL. Success. Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done.

this might be saying not to expect too much at once (basically not to put your hopes up too high) but enjoy the little things that the situation brings instead? maybe no great fireworks, but first establishing the boundaries and mutual respect (as reverence is mentioned).
ooor... even just setting such boundaries for yourself (in some interpretations the superior man refers to our "higher self", here - in his conduct the superior man gives preponderance to reverence - maybe once you know within yourself what you're ok with and what not - something in lines with that will appear in your life)?

i think the 62 might be viewed as general advice as well on how to proceed if you want to succeed and not scare the guy off - small steps & cherishing the little gestures first.

and i really like the idea of limited time period you bring to the interpretation of 55.1, thus maybe a fling? though i think i often got this line also in relation to actually spending a lot of time with somebody, whom i'd meet kinda cyclically - for a lack of a better word...

And, could receiving the same answer for both questions indicate a unique happening; in other words, the guy being the mate I'm to meet in March?

one of my favourite quotes by milan kundera is “Chance and chance alone has a message for us. Everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out, is mute. Only chance can speak to us.”

i don't believe in coincidence but i wouldn't know if getting this reading twice means - this is the very guy. i will surely come back here in spring though as you made me really curious now :D

Hi marybluesky,

55.1 to 62 Twice ~ A window of Abundance will open for you from March 21-31.

A chance to escape obscurity is coming.

Be active and in circulation during that time, perhaps in support of the publishing of your book?

Is it possible that you could use the occasion of becoming a published author to catalyze a meeting with your guy?

All Best!

Hello Mary.

I may have missed it, but what are you asking here?

For example, do you want us to offer our understanding on two of your queries (which happen to have the same cast)? Or, are you asking us to comment on 55.1 > 62 in general? Or do you want us to offer ideas about why these two might be the same or how they coincide with each other, or something else I might be missing?

As an aside, did the March month in your query already happen or is coming up?

Legume I'm not likely to make the first move. Me, too, am curious to see what happens or what kind of opportunity shows up. I don't want to have a fling. The duration isn't important IF the relationship has enough depth & emotional intimacy that flings often lack. I'm not willing to put energy on superficial, unstable relationships at this stage of my life.

Freedda, I don't think anything is vague if you have read the entire post. Two questions are clearly asked at the end of it, and in the "Shared Reading" forum people also write their comments about the cast.

Radiofreewill, do you see any correlation between the book and my romantic life? As you wrote a similar comment on the book thread. Just curious.

i can relate to what you're saying and would think the reading might actually indicate a high potential to meet those expectations?

also, maybe it's not necessary then to make a first move in order to make one's influence felt but could be that 62 in this case describes the attitude one should take on to make the right impact. and it seems you might already have it - as in, you know exactly what you want and so just let it be your guide:

In the mountains, thunder seems much nearer
He is exceptionally conscientious in his actions
In personal expenditures he is extremely simple and unpretentious.
In comparison with the man of the masses, all this makes him stand out as exceptional.


*he refers to the superior man, as it's taken from Wilhelm - but again, to me it's usually more about the inner voice / higher self. fingers crossed and hope you find what you're looking for!

Okay Mary. Thanks. As I said, I may have missed it, which often happens for me when people 'bury the lead' as in putting their question in the middle or at the end.

I understand now that you've sort of combined the two into something like:

Will i meet the mate I'm to meet in March?

I believe the 2 separate questions were:

First question: Describe my love life during March.*
Second question: What is going to happen between me & X [in near future]?


to both of which result was 55.1 > 62 (to the first one 55.1 > 62 and to the second one 55.1 > 62, in case you didn't catch it). this raises an open question, if the guy from the 2nd question (mr X) might pop up in the spring (referring to 1st question - *and here my intuition as well as Mary's response tell us it's about the future, not the past) as the "lord & mate" from the reading...

don't see an issue or anything confusing with the original post and find it quite interesting, actually.

David, I got 55.1 >62 for the questions Legume mentioned:

1- Describe my love life during [coming] March.
2- What is going to happen between me & X [in near future]?


I'll be happy if members write their interpretation of the result regarding (any of) my question(s).

In the end, I asked:
1- May "meeting the lord & mate" in 55.1 refer to a metaphorical rather than actual meeting?
2- I have the same answer for both questions. Could it indicate that both readings refer to a unique happening; in other words, is the guy the mate I'm going to meet in March (or something like that)?

I ... I don't see an issue or anything confusing with the original post ...
I am not sure if you are implying that I found the question confusing. I did not, once I saw what the questions are - which Mary has clarified for me. However, what I did say is I often find it confusing when people put the question(s) in the middle or end of as post, that's all.

David.

Hi marybluesky,

I know I'm an outlier on the book thread ~ I read your 52uc toss as saying that it will get published by the end of Winter ~ March 21st.

In addition, I read 55.1 as a ten-day window of opportunity to meet a very influential person ~ one who could raise your profile and possibly bring lots of attention to you ~ including new opportunities for romance?

So, I see the book, romance and X as all in play in March, but particularly the last ten days of March? Perhaps the combination of the book and the influential person will lead to being introduced to X?

All in all, it looks like an exciting March coming up!

All Best!

Hello Mary ... for 55.1 > 62

55 is named Abundance, Plentiful, but also (at least by one author) Overwhelming.

The Oracle text mentions abundance and fulfillment, but then tells us, 'Do not be anxious. It suits the sun to be at midday.' I take this to mean that whatever abundance may come to you - be it romance, or a special person, or something else - that it will come when the time is ripe, when it is ready to.

I guess that still leaves you wondering, when will this 'middday' happen, and how will you know when that is?

Unfortunately, I can't say, and I don't have the interpretive skills to know if the Yi knows (or is willing to telling us). However, it does seem to suggest that it may not happen according to your timeline .... And as an aisde, I wonder too if that sense of being ready, or of things being where they are supposed to be, might be something you know - or will come to know - or could have a sense of?

Line 55.1 is a bit obscure to me, so borrowing from Hilary, it might suggest that you will have some type of encounter or 'relationship' (meaning relations with someone, not necessarily a romance), and it will only last for a finate time (which could describe all our relationships I guess!) - it is 'for now,' not necessarily 'for-ever.' Perhaps it is a caution to not look for a "and we lived happily ever after' type encounter here.

The related hexagram 62, might suggest an attitude of being able to accepting small victories, perhaps less 'intense' relations, maybe small, 'tender mercies.' But just like with a fireworks-and-sparklers type romance, we have to be ready to take in these 'minor concerns.'

When I look at the trigrams of 62 we have Thunder above, so it makes me wonder, that if even with the stillness and boundaries of Mountain below, is there still plenty of room for movement, energy, insights, adventure ... all stuff that might be included in romance, but might also come in some other form?

As to the synchronicty of having two readings with the same cast, I don't have an ultimate answer: on the one hand, I think each reading has to stand on it's own, given the specifics of time, place, and the questions asked; but on the other hand, I'd never completely ignore such obvious synchronicty - in fact, in looking at it, my 'reading' here seems to have blended the two without me even thinking about it - at least until now. Synchronicty perhaps?

Best, David.

Update:
55.1>62 twice didn't indicate a unique happening indeed. Starting with the second one:

What is going to happen between me & X [in near future]? He liked my replies to his Instagram stories:D. That's all.
51.1, in both cases, sounds rather promising but it also seems to hint at possibly having to make the first move of some sort, yourself? only recently i started paying a lot of attention if the translation (Wilhelm's usually) is mentioning going vs coming - here it clearly states that going meets with recognition > one may go forth, in order to make one's influence felt. this might be saying not to expect too much at once (basically not to put your hopes up too high) but enjoy the little things that the situation brings instead?
Yes- I started reacting to his stories and I was welcome. I got excited by his likes. It made my moments to be honest :)

As for the other reading:
Describe my love life during March. While I met a few people who could become my partner, I see this "lord & mate" as a special person- the guy I consider to be my soulmate and talked about in this post. We went on a short journey alongside others, where the conversation accidentally led to our emotional life & we finally confessed that we had feelings for each other, although nothing happened because he is in a relationship: "meeting my lord and mate" for a short but effective period.
Radiofreewill's comment was very interesting:
A window of Abundance will open for you from March 21-31.A chance to escape obscurity is coming.

Be active and in circulation during that time, perhaps in support of the publishing of your book?
Is it possible that you could use the occasion of becoming a published author to catalyze a meeting with your guy?...All in all, it looks like an exciting March coming up!
After the journey, the guy asked me to give him a volume of my book. All happened during the last 10 days of March, shortly after my book was published.
I couldn't believe this comment to come true so exactly! Very exciting, abundant & unusual March!
