Hi everybody,
I'm happy to come back here for discussing and asking some help in figuring out three casting I got recently about a situation I've discussed in May 2022.

Long story short - that you can read here - I have posted in the past about my difficult story with my moody and immature long term girlfriend (six years). In these ten months of my absence here, the situation took a particular turn: in January, period in which we have been together more due to holidays and her contract expiring in the other distant location she was living in, she asked for a momentary break to sort thing out between us, cause she felt unhappy. I agreed to her decision only to find later, during a meeting to get back some of my stuff from her house, that she was contacting two of her ex boyfriends (two really abusive people, one of them is mentioned in my previous post), and I got really upset about that, we got into a discussion and I stopped all the communications.

During this period of separation, two weeks, she contacted me on several occasion to check on me, which I shortly replied since three days ago, when she told me that she has found my band T-shirt in her house and wanted to give it back to me. We met in my house, and went to stay together as a regular couple for all the weekend, intimacy comprised. After, she told me that the time we spent was beautiful but she fears to do it again because she is still attracted to me but she need a change in her life and cannot commit, even if we both have feeling for each other. Next morning I found out she took (by mistake?) and usb charger I need and left in my house a shirt that I want to give her back.

So yesterday I asked the Oracle three question to help me get a grip in these confusing times:

1 - I asked first to the I Ching to give me his take on the state of our relationship after the weekend and got 40.2 > 16.
The response seems so talk about liberation and enthusiasm, and maybe line 2 refers to her ambiguous behaviour with her toxic exes and my determination in saying no. I have already read that maybe be even that some negative elements are been caught and removed, so that we may enjoy a period of enthusiasm together again.

2 - As a second question, I asked how I should behave to make things work again between us, 'cause I still love her but I cannot accept anymore her indecisive and immature nature. I got 53.5 > 52.

Now things are getting a little confusing: I've read that this line in particular talks about marriage, so my attitude should be that I have to calmy accept the fact that "marrying" her will be a long and difficult trip, but eventually things will sort out. It is a strange, obscure line to my knowledge, a sentence that talks about deceitful people like the foxes of the previous hexagram, so I feel like the I Ching is saying to me "stay cool and collected because you have been deceit and defamed, but eventually you will have what you want". I don't know...

3 - As third and last question, I asked the Oracle how should I act in these particular difficult times for me and I got 24.1.3 > 15.

Return transforming in modesty or being in the context of modesty. Both lines seems to point that I've made mistake that I can correct, in particular line 3 seems a little obscure, talking about a "mistaken recurring pattern" that will solve through repetition that I cannot still completely understand, tough place to be but will shape me and make me improve.

Thanks in advance for the help and please, feel free to give me your take on the readings: I loved the insights and the real life experiences you all bring to the table to help me understand better the I Ching fascinating wisdom.

Take care and I hope to hear you soon.
Cheers from Italy!

'Loosening' through 'Riding the Elephant'

Yi sees the weekend as being a period embraced by spontaneous acts of pleasure (16). Relaxing in this way brings forward opportunities to forgive past excesses and transgressions in the relationship (40)
2 - As a second question, I asked how I should behave to make things work again between us, 'cause I still love her but I cannot accept anymore her indecisive and immature nature. I got 53.5 > 52.

'Gradual Advance' through 'Keeping Still'
Stay focused on acting only in ways that are pointed towards maintaining your own power and virtue. Don't allow your lower self to gain a foothold in proceedings. Rise above the triggers.

3 - As third and last question, I asked the Oracle how should I act in these particular difficult times for me and I got 24.1.3 > 15.

'Turning Back' through 'Authenticity'

Standing squarely in a growing understanding of your true self (15) will naturally allow you to turn around from the paths you have erroneously walked down before (24).

... or these interpretations might mean nothing like this at all for you.

Good Luck

my_key thanks for the reply! Like ten months ago, your interpretations resonate and mean a lot to me, in particular in seeing angles in my situation that I cannot properly see being in the middle of that scenario.​

I guess I overthought too much the moving lines if the hexagram without focusing on the general and proper meaning.​

We will see how things will evolve.​
