hexagram 39 for present and 31 for future

[roxanne]

Hello,

I've recently reconnected with an old friend online. There was always a strong attraction between us, but never acted on. He lives in another country and is in a relationship. Through correspondence, talking and communicating online in the last four months, he has told me he has fallen in love with me again and has to see me, so he is coming for a visit. I've never entered into anything like this before. At first I found the whole situation bizarre, but there is an intellectual/sexual/spiritual attraction between us - there always was and it was grown through our communication. But I am wary and see this thing fraught with complexities and limitations.

I consulted the I Ching and asked what can I expect if I pursue this relationship and I got 39 for the present and 31 for the future.

Any views?

Hex 39 speaks of obstacles that need to be overcome together, I suppose his current gf and the distance that separates you.

Hex 31 is about courtship, girl meets boy.

Thanks Willow Fox

Yes, 39 talks about obstacles and the mountain being in the way and to find another way around and to seek the counsel of the wise one. So I guess that's why I came to the forum. I have consulted the I ching before and I find that's it's always so direct and relevant, as it is in this situation. But my understanding is it's telling me despite the difficulties, I should persist.

And 31 looms positive for the future: establishing the right relationship and finding the life partner!

That's basically what I said but you need to work together to overcome the current obstacles.
