Well I think there is an excitement about a romance, all this blushing, which is descripted in hexagram 51 - it also means new beginning. 51.4 says "shock, an then a bog", as far as I can remember. Well, I don't think the Yi predicts a shortlived romance, as you suggest.

It may say that you are all too excited about this and worry too much? 24 as related hexagram may hint that things that are meant to come will come in time, especially as long as you are true to yourself.

What does the bog mean. I thought the shock could mean the person who comes into my life is someine unexpected or encounter happens unexpected. Bit then I asked about a timeframe. Thankyou for your reply.

Hello River!

When romance will enter into my life?Hex 51.4 to 24

After the Shock (51) of previous loves/relationships that has made your emotional sphere muddy (51.4) is over and you Return (24) to your normal life without worry.

River, you asked, 'when romance will enter into my life?' and got Hex 51.4 to 24 as the cast. 'When' questions are interesting. If I were to ask, 'when will I be able to harvest my corn', there could be at least two different answers:

Answser Type 1. 'You will be able to harvest your corn in the second week of September.' Or, if you think you got a 'negative' answer, it could be, 'Your corn will get eaten by rats and you won't have any harvest.' ....

Or ...

Answer type 2. You will be able to harvest your corn after you: till and fertilize your soil, plant the corn seeds, fence off the corn patch so deer dont' eat it, weed around the corn plants so they have a better chance to thrive - and then (and I'm sure I've left at least a few things out) you can harvest your corn when it gets ripe - e.g. when it is ready to be harvested ...

... assuming you are around when it gets ripe and you are not off somewhere on a wild romantic fling with a married man .... in which case you'll miss the harvest.

So ... often it seems that people want an A1 type answer, but I think the Yi more often gives us an A2 type answer, which is about process. So for your reading ....

Hex. 51 could be describing your situation or what got you to a place of looking for love - perhaps there is thunder, shock, a sudden response. In some ways the Oracle text describes what it's like to fall in love:

'Shock brings fear and alarm
And mirthful words and echoing laughter
The thunder startles for a hundred li around
But do not let drop the ladle of sacred wine ....

So, with falling in love we have fear and shock, and also joy and laughter, and it's effect can be far-reaching in our lives, and we can - for a time at least - forget ourselves and what might be important in our own lives.

In your reading, you also have 51.4, which seems to be describing a sort of muddiness, perhaps in reaction to being hurt or betrayed? In this situation, we end up feeingl numb and we protect ourselves. And while this numbness might seem like protection, it also might keep us from feeling fully and keep us from perhaps falling in love again.

So, what might be the way to return to a place where you're more open? One aspect of the related hexagram 24, is the upper three-line character, which is Earth.

So the suggestion could that you have to take action in order to get results (as opposed to thinking the Yi, or another person is going to do that for you), and to make this action grounded, solid, real - perhaps to ask: are the people I'm attracting really right for me, or are they just whom I think will make me happy?

The related hexagram 24, is named Returing, or Returing. Here, it might be a bit too easy to think, 'ah, this means romance will return to me,' but the hexagram also implies cycles; for example, that the Return of the sun in spring is not a straight line, but is part of a cycle of the seasons. So, perhaps for you, it might be to simply know that to be single/alone, or in love/together are parts of a greater cycle that we can't control, but that we can only make ourselves ready for.

Finally I see another underlying message here about Returning - that we don't want to return if where we are returning to was not really working for us. It might be like 'looking for love in all the wrong places ...' or perhaps with the wrong people? In that case you'll only be Returning to more shock and awe.

But, really, this is only my take on things - perhaps more a wild-assed guess than anything else, so I welcome feedback - if any of what I said rings ttue of if I'm just blowin' smoke here.

Best, D.

Thankyou all for taking the time out to reply. I feel you are right that I am not fully over past betrayals and hurts. And love will only arrive when I have healed from this. I agree with Freedda, that an education is needed on my part to break the cycle of bad relationships/bad partners that I am involving myself in.
