Things have been rocky for the past month with my relationship. We are nearly two weeks from being together for one year. Our communication is horrible right now but not on my behalf.

I asked the I Ching to show me an image of where my relationship is headed & I received: 27 with lines 2,4 & 6 changing it into 54.

I am having difficulting understanding how these apply to my question.

Could anyone help me with an interpretation? Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi Annie-
If combining the meanings of lines 2, 4 & 6 makes no sense to you, the Transitional Hexagram method will take you through the following sequence of lines: 27.2, 41,4, 38.6, to 54.
I'm going to guess that either way this condition is temporary, it won't drag on, and the way you're going to learn whether or not this relationship is what you need is by watchng it fall apart. Maybe communication will improve as things get more confused. Meanwhile, keep your long term goals for your life in mind.

Another thing to consider: you asked where the relationship is headed. That's okay, but perhaps a more pressing question is how to handle it right now.

Thanks both of you.

I am still a little confused but I will let it marinate for a while & even us your suggestion Dobro about asking for the present time.

Thank you again,

Annie

OKay i asked that question & received: 6. Sung / Conflict with lines 2, 4,5 changing into 23. Po / Splitting Apart.

Should I take that literally?

Literally as an option
Again, transitional hexagrams take you through 6.2, 12.4, 20.5, to 23
I think you should at least start discussing the possibility of a separation in terms of (both of) your long term objectives. 12 is also separation, and 20 recommends objectivity. If that doesn't precipitate communication and clarity it's time to find closure and move on. It's not going to heal itself.

Annietyme...

I once listed the names of the people on this forum who have taught me something and thanked them. You were one of the people I was thinking of, but it had been so long since you posted, and I'm short on memory, and I couldn't remember your name. I did a forum search trying to find it... tried to remember the thread we discussed your relationship in... the thread from which I accessed your profile and learned some interesting things about you from your blog. I just couldn't find it, so I ended up adding a thank you to those whose names I'd forgotten.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you as I meant to do then. I have learned much from you... especially about love. I enjoy the way you love this man. You love him well. I'm so sorry you're having communication problems now. I want the best for you, and I sincerely hope you prosper and grow from your 6 to 23.

Love,

Val

Annietyme -

6.2.4.5 is really positive. Here's why I think so.

First, it establishes the issue as one of contention, which is exactly what's going on in your heart right now.

6.2 talks about not being up to the contention and therefore abandoning it, abandoning the contention (not the man necessarily, but the conflict in your heart or the conflict between you and him, for sure).

6.4 talks again about not being up to the contention, and returning to where you should be and pacifying your heart. Again this means abandoning the conflict, not necessarily the person.

6.5's a wonderful line - it talks about contention being supremely in tune with life. Sometimes' contention's just what the doctor ordered.

Finally, I never consider the so-called 'resulting' hexagram as a legitimate part of the picture. I've got what I think are good reasons for that, but this thread isn't the place for me to soapbox about it. So I don't think 23 is part of this picture at all.

So, to summarize: abandon contention, either in your own heart or with him, as often as you can, but hey, if after taking that approach, contention comes up, it's a legitimate expression of what really needs to be said. Spare your heart.
