! Of course, the second possibility that I could handle is that unexpectedly maybe he will have sorted out the emotional difficulties that led to the breakup and maybe he'll be clearer in himself about building something lovely with me for the long term (that's the way we used to talk about our rship, we both saw real potential in it). Anyway, I guess time will tell who the guests are and what unexpected thing will happen. If it's unexpected, it implies that maybe it's neither of the above, and then I go a bit cross-eyed

Show me Mr. X’s role in my life.
Hex 5. Nourishment, changing lines 1,2,5,6
and hex 52. Keeping Still Mountain
First, the lines:
Line 1: Waiting in the meadow. It furthers one to abide in what endures. No blame.
=Danger is still far off. The prudent man does not take cover, but he does not make himself vulnerable by advancing into the open. Conditions are still simple, yet there is a feeling of something impending. One must continue to lead a regular life as long as possible. Only in this way does one guard against a premature waste of strength, keep free of blame and error that would become a source of weakness later on.When difficulty appears in the distance it is best not to go out to meet it, but he stays alert and lets it come to him. Water is seen in the heavens as clouds. But clouds, though they give promise of rain, also indicate that one must wait for that promise to be fulfilled. The Superior Man bides his time. Waiting with sincerity there will follow brilliant success. Perseverance brings great good fortune. It is advantageous to cross the great water at the right time. Patience, strength, and avoiding rash action overcomes difficulty.
Line 2: Waiting on the sand. There is some gossip. The end brings good fortune.
= The sand is soft and does not afford good footing. The danger gradually comes closer. Disagreements crop up. General unrest can easily develop in such times, and we lay the blame on one another. He who stays clam will succeed in making things go well in the end. Slander will be silenced if we do not graitfy it with injured retorts. Steadfast calmness in the face of danger will bring success at last.
Someone else posted as well that line 2 can mean one is picking on oneself,(maintaining a negative self-image or self-destructive notions) and confusing one's ability to wait and relax while maintaining some healthy focus. I presume this means if you DO wait it out, things will be fine (good fortune).
Line 5: Waiting at meat and drink. Perseverance brings good fortune.
= Even in the midst of danger there come intervals of peace where things go relatively well (this is such an interval?). If we possess enough inner strength, we shall take advantage of these intervals to fortify ourselves for renewed struggle. we must know how to enjoy the moment without being deflected from the goal, for perseverance is needed to remain victorious.
Line 6: One falls into the pit. Three uninvited guests arrive. Honor them, and in the end there will be good fortune.
= The waiting is over; the danger can no longer be averted. One falls into the pit and must yield to the inevitable. Everything seems to have been in vain. But precisely in this extremity things take an unforeseen turn. Without a move on one’s own part, there is outside intervention. At first one cannot be sure of its meaning: is it rescue or is it destruction? A person in this situation must keep his mind alert and not withdraw into himself with a sulky gesture of refusal, but must greet the new turn with respect. Thus he ultimately escapes the danger, and all goes well. Even happy turns of fortune often come in a form that at first seems strange to us.
About Hex 5 in general, I found this:
I also found a rather old but very intriguing post from Jesed about the timing of this hexagram, which I presume is the same for each calendar year. He wrote:
This coincides with the meeting of Mr. X that I have had. Today is June 4. Since I drew lines 5 and 6, I would presume in July things will be happening but it isn't clear what,exactly, those things are.
Finally Hex 52. The still mountain. THe only lines that strike me are these:
Thus the superior man
Does not permit his thoughts
To go beyond his situation.
To me that implies keeping in the "Now" and not thinking longterm, not *worrying* about long term? I am confused about coming involved with this person (at all, plus when) and looking for insight from the Yi. This last hex seems to suggest not thinking about it and just living in the moment? (Is this like reaping ye wild oats? Or being more careful???) Also, the Yi seems to be giving me timelines of events rather than explaining Mr. X's role in my life per se. Do others see something else here?
