Insight for 8 > 4

[libralee]

Hi

Could somebody clarify for me what 8 > 4 means? I looked on google, but I still scratch my head to what it means. It's a relationship question with the question "How does she feel about me?". Even though we don't see each other anymore and broke up suddenly, I still feel that we are "together", but silently since we shared so much together.

Thnx

Can you please identify the changing lines? It takes time to reverse engineer them, and I'm pushed for time these days.

Oh! Excuse me, sorry, im new to this ^^

Line 2, 5 and 6 changed in Hexagram 8

The Royal Maiden (4) is Seeking Union (8) with the Foolish Youth (4)

Simply algebra. [4 + 4 = 8]

Uuh, in laymans terms, would that mean she misses me? :/

Honestly, I think the blunt answer leans toward no, but with the addendum that some knowledge is hidden from you and it pays to contact her if you want to know for certain (but then back off if the answer from her is no).

I get this from the fact that 8 is about a focal point, line 5, around which everything gathers. Since the subject of your question is her, line 5 would represent her. The text mentions that "whoever comes too late suffers misfortune", because they've missed the opportunities. Line 5 changes to yin, indicating that the opportunity for this relationship has been lost. 2 other yang lines show up, changing the hexagram to 4: meaning youthful folly, ignorance, or simply concealed knowledge. The 2nd line must seek knowledge from the changed fifth line.
