I asked Yi "Is the 4th puppy about to come?"
Mary F, when you say "image," do you mean the diagram of the hexagram, or the "Image" section of the I Ching?
Since you're contrasting "image" to "text," it sounds like you mean the diagram, but I just wanted to make sure.
I think you have to look at both the structure (xiangshu school) and the words (yili school).
But it's also important to not go overboard with either. That's an easier trap to fall into with the structure, but it's also easy to be misguided by the words, which tend to be taken literally rather than metaphorically.
The problem here is that maybe there was a mistake in interpreting the ultrasound, so there wasn't a 4th puppy. 37.6 could be read as end of family and 63 is "Already Complete," implying there was no more, but in the stress of the moment I doubt that I would have been able to make this interpretation.
(...)
Even then it's always a good idea to chew your food.
Meaning?
