56.3 to 25

[phroney]

I am love with a woman and have consulted the I Ching to see if she will ever requite my love. I received the Wanderer. There were multiple changing lines, but line 3 is the line for the situation. Can any of you offer an interpretation for this?

Hello
Just to clarify - you must have had more moving lines than 3 in 56 - if you could put them down please that would help. Why do you think that line 3 has more relevance than the other moving lines - maybe you understand how this could relate to your situation, but if you got more than this, then they need to be looked at, otherwise you would not have had them. Also, it can be very tricky asking about relationships - from the other person's perspective, not your own. How will the situation develop, how best to deal with... may be more useful.

56.3 does feel rather like you have behaved in a way that is not unfamiliar to you - and you have not learned from the mistakes you have previously made. Just a hunch, but I do need to see the entire changing lines...

The other two lines were 1 and 5. I choose 3 because I thought when there are three changing lines, the middle one is the one to read. I'm still pretty new to this. Thank you for your help.

No, you look at all the lines. My overall impression here is that things are on too casual a footing for you to expect her to return strong feelings at the moment. The traveller is passing through in 56, not making a home. The relating hexagram is 25 so this all kind of looks a bit down to chance as if you only get to see her if she happens to be where you go, it doesn't look like you have any proper dates set up or any arranged way to engage. I could be wrong but that is how it looks.

So if you haven't yet had any arranged dates or meetings the relationship is too loose, too casual to expect strong feelings to be reciprocated. I guess the way forward would be to try to get to know her better and try to set up a date, an occasion where you can properly get to know her. I think line 5 would be consistent with that

Of course if you already did this then that won't apply but overall I think you are a bit ahead of yourself here and that the relationship is much more transitory, on less of a firm footing than you imagine. It's up to you if you want to try to make it on more of a firm footing

Thanks! She is in a big transition period right now in her life. We are actually best friends. I have been love with her for 5 years. I'm reading this basically to let her transition period pass and then see where the path takes us from there.

So....where did your path with this person end up?
