Hi!
I drew Hexagram 33 unchanging in regards to an inquiry of whether or not a friend was lying to me.

I've felt that she has some issue with me for some time now which she won't talk about but I think it has to do with her feeling jealous and a guy situation. That is why I'm wary of trusting her completely. The issue has to do with her telling me she was robbed the night she was supposed to come to my friends house party. It was very loud and rowdy so noone heard the bell ring and I didn't hear my phone from the other room in time so by the time I noticed her missed calls 20 minutes later, she had already left somewhere else that night. I called to apologize profusely and wanted her to come back that night. She had some of my stuff with me that I forgot at her house a few days prior; my phone, iTouch and some clothes. After that she was impossible to reach. Her phone was off and I contacted her via email and she told me that she was robbed that night.

This is what I found online in regardsto Hexagram 33:

In hexagram 33 we find that deference to the enemy through a structured retreat is the best path. This is a form of trickery, where we lead the enemy into believing we are retreating, only to return at another more opportune time. Contextually, we combine pulling away (49) with pretending (62), leading to apparent withdrawal.

Follow-up hexagrams I cast to clarify the issue further are: Hexagram 16.3 to 62 and Hexagram 49.1.5.6 to 56.

Can anyone here help me to decipher this??

Much thanks,

sibyl

of 33 static-- chill out, withdraw, let the issue sort itself out. Trying to force an explanation only energizes a difficult situation.

16.3 confirms that you're wrestling with a situation that only become more intractable the more you wrestle with it.

49.6 -- "he molts in his face." The other person is/will lie about the situation, which you apparently already suspect.

Disengage. Disengage. Disengage. Truth will out.

This is your 16.3: tardy action on your part.

She was invited; she came by; she knocked; she called; nobody answered the door to let her in. You responded 20 minutes later. That is your 16.3.

She has probably retreated so as not to get more mixed up with the "loud and rowdy" lifestyle of the friends you have at this time.

My guess is that you'll probably never hear from her again.

Thanks for the advice elias. I am totally disengaging from this. I asked one last question though in regards to how I should proceed with this 'friend' and got Hexagram 51.1.4.6 to 23. Ouch!! So basically yea, I'm sorta breaking up with her. To tell you the truth she was never really a good friend(flakey, narcissistic and an alchie) but I did care about her nonetheless.

Ginnie, that's an interesting hypothesis but I doubt the "loud and rowdy" crowd was what drew her away as we are pretty tame compared to the chaos she's used to. She is a bit of a party girl after all.

Whatever the case with her is, I am going to listen to my intuition and say good riddance!

It is important that you don't withdraw in anger, annoyance, out of revenge, etc. Without getting too cosmic, if you've established a connection with this person then you should honor that.

51.6 confirms the need to simply withdraw into neutrality; to let this other person find her own way even if into danger. 23 suggest that you are anxious about the consequences of this course of action. Nevertheless...

Sorry

Truly sorry about the judgmental tone of my post, Sybileyes. How could I possibly know enough about the situation to speak that way ...

Just wanted to say that hex 33 with no moving lines usually signifies leaving a situation permanently -- or having some time away to recuperate from a certain kind of lifestyle, because the situation is sort of impossible to cope with or extremely draining ...
