How to communicate? 41.3.5 > 9

[manitoba33]

I asked the Yi "what is the best way to approach communicating with H?" and I got 41.3.5 > 9

The third line doesn't necessarily favor communicating at all, saying there are 3 people and one walks alone...does this mean I should walk away? Not sure. The fifth line says 10 pairs of tortoise shells cannot oppose it.

Between 41 hex which seems to say decrease, patience, self discipline and 9 which is minor restraint...is the Yi telling me to sit back and not communicate at all?

Asked will H contact me soon? 25.1 > 12. Reading this as yes, he will sincerely and out of the blue after a long wait or standstill? Thoughts?

This combination indicates the need for sincerity, simplicity and gentleness. 41.3 suggests to me one-to-one communication, without the interference of third parties. 41.5 promises good luck. However, hex 9 is a warning: you can exert influence, but don't expect great results.

Will H contact me soon? 25.1 > 12.
I received hex 25, albeit with changing line 2, in reply to exactly the same question. In my case history has proved it meant "don't have expectations" since the contact never happened. I believe in your case the Yi is still replying your previous question. Hex 12 points at the situation as it is now, lack of communication, standstill, with 25.1 inviting you to follow your heart without expecting any gain as already suggested by your first reading.
