Hello All 
. The latest development in the job search is a meeting with an acquaintance of my ex boyfriend. He is a well connected man in the Seattle area, and my ex said he offered to help me out finding new work... So, I gave him a call this morning. He is also a local jeweler, and when I spoke with he seemed more informed about a ring I would like to sell than the job search. Although he did seem open to helping me and aware I was looking for new work, I certainly got the impression that the ring was what stood out in his mind from his conversation with my ex. So, I aked the IC
"What is the potential of my meeting with X?" and got 60.3>5
Surprised at the responce, I followed up with,
"What are X's intentions to help me out?" and got 13.1.3 >12
60.3>5 doesn't sound good. I'm not sure how it relates to this situation though. It talks about restraint and not indulging. Perhaps is suggesting not to give him too much info about my situation maybe? Especially with my ex boyfriend? Also, doesn't sound like it ends up anywhere spectacular. End up waiting... I'm just not sure what to make of this. Any ideas here. I've never had this line before.
I was also nonplussed by13.1.3>12. Doesn't sound like he intends to help out much. Sounds like our interests in the meeting are at odds and will just lead to some kind of impasse. I was really hoping this meeting would be a good start in my networking, so I hope I am wrong. As always, any insight about either of these readings is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... :bows:
Here is the text I've used, the lines according to Wilhelm, right here below:
Hexagram 60, line 3
Six in the third place means:
He who knows no limitation
Will have cause to lament.
No blame.
If an individual is bent only on pleasures and enjoyment, it is easy for him to lose his sense of the limits that are necessary. If he gives himself over to extravagance, he will have to suffer the consequences, with accompanying regret. He must not seek to lay the blame on others. Only when we realize that our mistakes are of our own making will such disagreeable experiences free us of errors.
Hexagram 13, line 1
Nine at the beginning means:
Fellowship with men at the gate.
No blame.
The beginning of union among people should take place before the door. All are equally close to one another. no divergent aims have yet arisen, and one makes no mistakes. The basic principles of any kind of union must be equally accessible to all concerned. Secret agreements bring misfortune.
Hexagram 13, line 3
Nine in the third place means:
He hides weapons in the thicket;
He climbs the high hill in front of it.
For three years he does not rise up.
Here fellowship has changed about to mistrust. Each man distrusts the other, plans a secret ambush, and seeks to spy on his fellow from afar. We are dealing with an obstinate opponent whom we cannot come at by this method. Obstacles standing in the way of fellowship with others are shown here. One has mental reservations for one’s own part and seeks to take his opponent by surprise. This very fact makes one mistrustful, suspecting the same wiles in his opponent and trying to ferret them out. The result is that one departs further and further from true fellowship. The longer this goes on, the more alienated one becomes.
