i rarely look up Legge but in this case the mention of the relation between line 4 and 3 feels useful. 3 is yang, 4 is yin. 3 is dynamic, 4 is megnetic. i'm the female (4) and need his (3) help, so i need to draw him closer somehow and hopefully he'll respond and help. still not sure about the how. and although 3 is not part of the reading, the relation between the lines gives me hope he'll want to reconnect with his "former associates", simply by his dynamic nature.Legge: The fourth line, magnetic, shows its subject advancing, but only to greater difficulties. She remains stationary, and unites with the line above.
i also see 33 could be the background here, we've been retreating for long enough. not sure how to go about the maturity bit. it seems inappropriate somehow to just reach out and say that i might need his help and ask him how much he charges, though after looking at the lines pathway... 31.6 kinda tells me that beating around the bush is not the way to go and maybe best to be quite forward, actually. otoh, 31.6 doesn't say good fortune or misfortune, maybe trying to influence him first by "superficial talk" could work? i'd rather stick to my gut feeling though and probably say straight what's up and what i need, while offering to catch up as well... he did help me once already, after the quarrel, with free tax advice, hence i feel extra awkward bothering him again but it seems business is what he responds to best. and this time i actually do mean business and not just picking his brain.I see 33 as the context of your question: the long time retreat. The reading encourages you to get closer to this man, now with more maturity.
that's pretty much my gut feeling re. this cast. i also came across this thread that explains better the idea of going and coming as well as LiSe's article here. so i guess drawing from the past is a no-go in this situation, it's best to look into the future.I think it suggests you not bring up any of the personal issues but simply contact him
If you already were friendly with him then asked about legal advice it probably would be fine, but here I think rushing straight into the legal situation may be a problem hence 39.
As a side note I've often heard it's a bad idea to go into business with friends. Not sure about your country, I'm in the US and here lawyers will bill you for literally every word you exchange with them. So the fees rack up fast.
I've been plugging along looking at questions and advice about asking them. Somewhere I got the idea that asking "how" is bad framing, because it presumes that you should. If you already have made up your mind, without asking something like, "Yi, what can you tell me about this situation?" then I'd expect a difficult answer. A walk through your assumptions in the above posts is suggestive: you want something, but you haven't asked if it's good for you, and I get the sense there's a huge unstated assumption. Maybe more than one?thank you rosada for the voice of reason, indeed seems like the best way to go
i also have some other ideas based on another, seemingly unrelated reading, but will see how it all goes and i'll update this in a month or so.
i see your point and i'll definitely consider it more in my future casts. this time however it was more of a "how to approach him (if i actually do)", there's no assumption that i will or that i should, though definitely something i considered while thinking it's possibly the best option, especially regarding legal stuff.Somewhere I got the idea that asking "how" is bad framing, because it presumes that you should.
You want to take things forward with him, but 39.4 and 39.6 and 33 all advise to back off.
