Hi All-I keep getting this in response to how I'm relating. My brain gets the text but I honestly don't get what its saying to me. In a reading about where I'm at and where I'm growing towards: 48.2 then 48.6 I asked to help me understand 48.2 and it was Hexagram 44. Help me understand how to progress to 48.6 and I got hexagram 1.1.5.My questions were: "Please give me a reflection of myself in regard to this relationship?" 48.2"Please show me where I'm growing towards in regard to this relationship?" 48.6 [this is a recurring response, like at least 6 times regarding this relationship exact same hexagrams over and over and over ] I'm on the cusp of grasping this but not quite there. Here's my attempt at interpretation. 48.2 [Hex 44uc] I'm being swept up in the energy, and allowing my baser emotions to get carried away. I'm placing my worth in this and am grasping for the first available gain, when I should instead....48.6 [Hex 1.1.5] Be nourishing myself. Not seeking outside myself. Utilizing the energy for creative growth that benefits my life and those around me?Honestly I'm not sure. Anyone with more objectivity want to take a stab at it? I'm particularly interested in experiences with 48.2. I'd like to mature out of this spot if I can, but I don't quite understand the energy of that spot so I'm blind to myself being there. thanks!Chelsa

Sorry. I had it spaced all prettily but in the submission process it gets all jumbled and now I can't edit it. Anyone know how to ensure correct spacing prior to submission? I always end up with one long paragraph every time I post. Chelsa

Hi, Chelsa:

I believe that maybe you had to be more explicit in your question if you want a more accurate answer. You are asking about a relation but we canot be of much help without some cues about the context.

Chinese traditional text 0f 48.2 says:

井谷射鮒
jing3 gu3 she4 fu4
WELL VALLEY SOOTING CARPS
In the hollow of the well people could be shooting small fishes (1)
There are so many little carps that shooting an arrow surely will catch one.

甕敝漏
weng4 bi4 lou4
EARTENJAR BROKEN LEAKS
If people throw a broken pitcher it shoul come back leaking fishes.
Of course, a broken pitcher leaking water doesn't deserve a mention.

The image of great abundance: fishes in China have this sense. They also mean WOMEN and FERTILITY.

Now what? All depends of the point of view:

If one were a BOWMAN it will be of good omen: will pick-up many girls. To have many wives or many children is well seen in China. (2)

Not being the bowman (3) one can only be a FISH, maybe the shot fish! It means to fall in a trap, to be caught, to be eaten or, if female, to get pregnant (another sense for shooting, also in China). (4)

Of course, there is an alternative: can be one of the not shot fishes or one that escape from the broken pitcher, maybe with some injury but alive.

These are only a few of the many possibilities of reading the same text. That's why we need more contextual information. Of course, you will have the last word.

All the best,

Charly

_____________________________
(1) fu, currently means the SILVER CARP, but hardly many 100 lbs. fishes could fit in a well. I believe that it meant small fishes, not easy to shoot if not many and very close one of another.

(2) In the Changes a string of FISHES means a raw of CONCUBINES led by the Queen, according wth Wen Yiduo.

(3) Shooting ARROWS have sexual connotation in chinese. Handling arrows was part of FERTILITY RITES performed for getting offsprings (the outskirts sacrifice, «jiao mei» or «gao mei»).

(4) In curent chinese there is an idiom ending with the word fu whose sense is «poor people» «in difficult situation».
涸轍鮒魚,涸轍涸鮒 (allu. of poor people) hard up (like fish in dry pond)

Thank you for taking the time to reply! :) still mulling this over. Unfortunately because I kept receiving 48.2 as an answer for every question regarding my actions in this specific relationship I was trying to get a generalized understanding of it. But I think you’re right a better direction would have been a concise and clear question.... maybe this in itself is an example of 48.2? Lol grasping for the quickest possible answer.

Charly explained it awesomely and very accurately.

Here's my summarised view on your questions.

how I'm relating
48.2 > 39

You're in a bad relationship with a guy who doesn't care, and it's not going anywhere.

where I'm at and where I'm growing towards
48.2 > 39 then 48.6 > 57

You're in a bad relationship with a guy who doesn't care, and it's not going anywhere.
You're growing towards being a female available and open 24/7 if he ever sexually needs you.

Help me understand how to progress to 48.6
1.1.5 > 50

It's the man who has full control in this situation, he will bring you to that position.

I asked to help me understand 48.2
44 unchanging

This relationship is a temporary, sex based one. He doesn't want a proper relationship.

Please give me a reflection of myself in regard to this relationship?
48.2 > 39

You're in a bad relationship with a guy who doesn't care, and it's not going anywhere.

Please show me where I'm growing towards in regard to this relationship?" 48.6 [this is a recurring response, like at least 6 times regarding this relationship
48.6 > 57

You're growing towards being a female available and open 24/7 if he ever sexually needs you.

What were your questions?

Chelsa,

Chelsea, I have been informed that there are posting issues for newer members, so what I've said here -- in brackets -- may not be right [First, you need to hit Return twice to put space between your paragraphs / sentences ... You should be able to edit your posts. Are you not seeing an edit button at the bottom of your post? Or is there an issue when you click on 'edit'? If the latter, you might try opening Edit in a different tab or window. ]

It seems that charly and diamond have deciphered your queries, but I am having a hard time understanding what you've asked and what the responses are. You mention 48.2 five times and 48.6 four times (along with other hexagrams and lines), but I am really not sure what questions these are related to, or even what the questions are?

I don't intend to be mean-spirited, but I get the sense of a somewhat frantic, scattershot approach to you queries. Take that as you will, but for me it would be easier if you gave some background, then fully told us each question and then the full response, and what you think it means for you:

"Y and i seem to get along, but i am now wondering where this relationship is going. So I asked 'how can I best move forward in this relationship' and got 12.2.3 changing to hex. X. This feels like. ...'

... and so on, and then another question, separated, if you have one ...

As an aside, (and you can take this as my personal pickiness if you wish) I am not a big fan of the many-questions-all-in-a-row approach to Yi inquiry. It's like going to a counselor and saying 'in the next 50 minutes I'd like to inquire deeply about the dozen following questions,' which you then read aloud, now leaving you about 35 minutes for your 'deep' dive into your issues. I suspect a good counselor might say, 'let's pick one of these to work on,' or 'do you see a thread or theme with all of these,' or 'tell me about your mother.'

... so my general advice is -- maybe try starting with one question, then take the time to delve more deeply into what the answer is telling you (and this allows us to do the same). Then go on from there.

Best, David.

Hi -Thank you David for your response. And thanks for being patient with me while I learn. I do have an edit button but it is ineffective. Pressing it does nothing or crashes my iPhone or computer. :/ argh I’ll keep at it til I can figure out the formatting process. It drives me crazy and at least I know what I wrote... I can’t imagine how it makes everyone else feel. C :)

hi Chelsea, you asked where you are at present in regards to this relationship? and you received hex 48.2. if we use wen wang gua approach. your position in the six lines contained in hex 48 -the drinking well -is at line 5. line 5 is icy cool clear water ready to be used by everyone. it changes to 46 if line 5 is activated.

From my experience. When the perfect lady is sitting at line 5 of hex 48, the boyfriend is usually the jealous type. He feels he needs to control your social life so that he can have you all for him self but he can't, hence line 2, where he is sitting looking at you at line 5. .

You asked Yi again to have a better understanding of 48.2. Yi gave you 44. He thinks that you attract too many male attention. He even uses you for sex out of spite because of his jealous streak and the need to control you. .

Line 48.2 shows that whenever he feels that you are unavailable, he seeks other women. hex 48.6 is not a good position either but you are not sitting on that line. you are sitting on the king's line which is line 5-cool (based on yin position for female querent who gets hex 48), clear water available for those who seek it..

if your boyfriend has a better opinion about you, he will view as you as something precious and treasured because 48 line 5 changes to hex 46, this is where the relationship grows into more positive energy.

I have seen women who have had drawn hex 48.5 as marriage news or deeper commitment. unfortunately, you are getting 48.2, 48.6 and 44-all telling you that your boyfriend doesn't think he should marry you because you are too strong for him. in other words you are better than him. relationship is a two way street. talk to him, ask him if how he feels about you? is he trying to control your social life. does he put you down? trying to dampen your enthusiasm for life because 48.2 is what is all about- his feelings about himself and you. he feel jealous and left out.

another interpretation is that 48.2 tells you to pay more attention to him because you at line 5 , a well ready for everyone to drink, is busy entertaining your social life. He tries to get a hold of you but can't because of some restraints.
