Hexagram 16

[jadelove]

Hello
Im new on this forum, i have never been on an iching forum, but I have been reading the iching for a while, i do the yarrow way almost always except if im in a rush to know someting immediately I will throw the coins but I perfer the yarrow. My wanting to be on a forum is to hear someone elses interpretation, also to be able to ponder on lines on meanings of the hexagram not only a direct divination of my question.
Ok so this is why im here. I am wanting to make a big move with my partner but we have not have had the most easy time, and im confused if this jump is going to be beneficial for us at the long run.
My question was is x the coreect person for me to go on this voyage with?
My response was 16.1.6 changing into 21
I can understand the lines even though they are a bit contradictory and bitting through a dificult situation ... Arggg im sorry cant seem to hear this one and i really want to understand what its saying to me i feel i want o follow its advice but cant seem to hear what the iching is saying or am i? Please if anyone can shed some light these lines i would so apreciate it.

Thank you again
Jade :bows:

One more thing, in line 6 it says i need to pull back and discipline myself becoming more seriouse as it warns me not to be to enthusiastic for people are looking up to me, could this be my partner? Could it be that he needs me to become more serious and help him on this journey? Any thoughts out there.

The way I understand 21 says you have to bite into life to find out what it's about. On the other hand 16 may be about drama in life. I mean the stuff in our heads, the daydreams and imaginings. A bit is good, too much means we lose touch with reality. 16.1 to me says, control your enthusiasm (sorry, I love that show) but 16.6 is a warning that one is getting too far into areas of illusion and delusion and we need to get our heads out of the clouds and if we do then it says things will turn out okay. So- think about your partner - and the voyage - objectively and steadily for a while, using commonsense, setting hopes and wishes aside. Then decide.

Have you ever taken shorter trips with X? How were they? Was X easy to get along with, or did X make things more difficult? Line 16.6 usually means we are deluding ourselves and maybe indulging in wishful thinking -- fantasies, not realities. Also, the Blofeld translation of line one mentions "exhaustion of the will-power." Maybe you are really not on top of this situation as you should be to make a success of it?

maybe it is just not a good time for doing this trip - spiritual or actual travelling one...
