Is there any hope for relationship with my ex?
9 changing line 6 to 5

I am not sure.
Hexagram 9: Dense clouds, no rain from our western region. Finally, rain is coming and rest (line 6)... "the superior man eats and drinks, is joyous and of good cheer"
Rain sympolizes the union of Heaven and Earth. Do you see a hope?

I think I have my answer. I searched on the forum: 9.6 says the situation has gone about as far as it can go. The potential is realized, and will not go further, and in fact may decay from here. So for the woman to persevere, danger. For the superior person to go forth and act, misfortune.
It's over.

It says there's nothing more you can proactively do for now. It doesn't say if it's totally over or not it's just saying there really is nothing more you can do to make things right or make things progress any further so let it go for now.

Trojina just pipped me to the post on this. I had been looking through my journal and seeing what had come up for me - your title Hope made me think.

I agree totally with Trojina on this one. There is nothing more you can do to swing things one way or the other - BUT it does not mean that it is necessarily over. That is outside of your control.

An example that came up for me. I had been going out with someone and things were a bit sticky - where things were going along OK, but not exactly swimmingly. We had had an argument and sort of broken up, but I had left my jacket in his car. Now, I thought of using the excuse to get the jacket to go and see him. I got this casting and in the end left him a message on his phone (there were no mobiles at the time). He came to my house a few days later, we made up and of course I got the jacket. By going round I was going to make no difference to what happened - in fact I could have made matters worse. So your casting is about letting things develop, or not, I think. Go and enjoy yourself - almost put him out of your mind (which of course you may not do, but at least have an intention).

Yes and I think this line is in a roundabout way an assurance to you that you have done all you can. You have already worked hard enough or thought enough or done enough so trying to do more is no use and weakens you. So rest for now. It's nice line to get because it puts an end to all that 'what if I did xxx' kind of thinking where you keep thinking you should have done this or that. This line assures you that you really have done all you can do for now.

Yes, I think you are both right. I did whatever I could and indeed I feel I need to let it go for now. I am not sure it is over.. I asked:
what it's going to happen with us? 63 changing line 2 to 5
Interesting one more hexagram 5!! Just waiting and you will see!
And... is it really over? 13 changing line 5 to 30.. together after great struggles?
But... Will I have relationship with my ex? Hexagram 18. 18 seems as 'no'..

Letting it go includes stopping asking about it I'd think. I know you can't help asking but I think Yi really is advising you give it a rest

What you don't want to do is cast a lot of answers and then build a picture up in your head about what might happen between you and your ex. Don't do that to yourself....give yourself a little break from it all and try to have a nice time. Hexagram 5 is also about having a nice time while time passes

It is so important to give an update - it helps everyone understand the casting, I find, even several years down the line.
