How do you interpret hex 22 ?

[melissa91]

Hi again there dear Iching readers,

I asked the IC about " what do i need to do to end the indecision over this relationship?" and got hex22 " grace & beauty" with no changing lines as an answer? don't quite understand/ relate the meaning to the situation Any ideas?

thanks :bows:

Fire under the mountain.
If the mountain is something that stops you from moving, shed some light on it. What's this indecision saying to you?

Another case of the translated name being misleading.
It's only grace and beauty in the sense of ornamentation and bedazzlement.
It's nearsighted, which isn't as pejorative as shortsightedness, but could become this.
And it has its place, in culture and in enjoying life - just not for important decisions.
You're too close to see the big picture. Step back, then look at the long term.

Just some friendly advice about readings: do not expect for an answer to be handed to you; look around, be inquisitive of everything, study and be patient but make up your own mind. There are those who prefer to separate things in big and small, there are others who prefer to find greatness in the small and the smallness of the great and then there is truth in acknowledging that each moment carries its own character and imprint . .

22-wise and if I were you, I'd be looking into offering myself some healing/cleansing space before venturing into a decision

First thing, thanks a lot for answering, second thing is that i completely understand the term of " step back & see the whole picture" & looking into ones self", i've done that and yet still unable to act on them! Everytime i make a decision and try to maintain the change it would be blocked of some kinda " outer force" and go back to where i was = indecision ....here where i asked the IC again bout " What is the appropriate action to approach what i want with X ?" and got hex3,2,6 changing 61? Which could mean " Avoid lunging at perfect solutions and wait until a good course of action becomes clear. Do not start a new relationship before thinking it through. A careless step in the beginning can easily cause events to spin out of control later. Enlist the advice of a wise friend or counselor)! or it could be "Keep going despite difficulties and you will manifest the relationship you desire" :/ any idea?

Nothing in this answer says 'keep going despite difficulties', where do you see that ? I see the answer as pretty much the opposite of what you say. In 3.2 something here is just not mature enough to be sustainable currently. 3.6 it's all over already really as there really is not enough to keep it going,

You don't have to take my word here of course, I may be wrong.....but I don't see the answer the way you do.

ETA looks like the quotes you have copied are just from commentaries....don't rely on them. 3.6 is pretty stark....this doesn't even get off the ground. Has it ever even got off the ground ? It doesn't look like it has. Am I wrong ?

I asked the IC about " what do i need to do to end the indecision over this relationship?" and got hex22 " :

Before you can satisfactorily decide, you need to let the relationship flourish, flower, open up, let the beauty of it show itself (as well as exposing the not so beautiful).

It's also a state of mind, a way of looking at it: relaxed, natural, undirected or forced into a mold of some design, and just let it be as it is. Then, after seeing its beauty and potential, you can decide more clearly.

I get your point completely! I have just one more question, is possible to do/ address an IC reading for someone else? As far as i know that isn't possible. :bows:

It's certainly possible, and some of us do on a regular basis. However, it is still up to the one asking the question to determine accuracy.
