Fellowship with Men

[louise]

Hi anon, this is a tricky one, maybe thats why no one has answered you yet. Perhaps as you got the same hexagram twice, even though you were asking about different men, means Yi is talking about something a little beyond the bounds of the question - that is common to both relationships ?

Hi Anonymous

I know this may be a little late, maybe no one will read this, but if so...I think the second reading, #13 changing to #22 is a little better.
The fourth and fifth lines indicate someone coming to their senses, and realizing their hostility was silly, and after great struggles they succeed in meeting. Also, #22 often depicts a situation where we are accepted, as opposed to being rejected. Line 5 speaks of gifts that are inadequate, but it does not matter, because the heart is in the right place. We are accepted. Hexagram 13 refers more to friendship and brotherly/sisterly love than true romantic love. With #22 though, it reinforces the love a little deeper. For romantic love, I would rather get hexagram 31 or 53.
