Is 58 a YES or a NO?

[mary f]

Dear all.
Would you please share your impressions with me on the following?

I'm trying to find out whether a work colleague got angry with me due to my absence in an event. I got 61.6 changing to 58.
In order to narrow the reply I asked if I'd rather go to him for a frank talk and got again hex.58.

I'm sometimes confused whether Yi's responses are direct (like a yes or a no) or whether it shows the full picture and something else too (e.g. "You should be or do more of this or that...").

Thanks in advance.
Mary F.

I don't see that he was angry but in future don't make commitments that you can't honour, anyway better say nothing.



Edited to correct a mistake.

61.6 changes to 60.

Thank you so much Willowfox for your always clear responses. The more I read your answers to threads here the more I have my eyes sharpened and my intuition to agree with you.
What would be your opinion on 61.6 to 60?

:bows:

 

[mary f]

Yes Dobro you are right. Thanks!!! I was so tired last night that misread the changing hexagram.
Then, what are your impressions on 61.6 to 60??
Cheers.

He might crow a bit but take no notice as the whole issue is rather insignificant.

Thank you very much Willowfox.

What was this event about? Were you supposed to attend? was it mandatory?
As i see it, 9/6 shows a cock striving to achieve more than he is suppoed to, and 60 talks about putting a limitation. So, you could interpret it that if you continue to act like this, there will be limitations put upon you. Either way, stop what you are doing.

Thank you Kit.
It was a couple of working meetings which I could not attend due to health a problem. I know it is not a very serious one but he does not.
I actually talked to him this morning. It was a good conversation and he showed comprehension to my problem. Anyway, I feel I should not do it again.

I don't know... if you say it was a serious health problem, than maybe it's something else. The answear is pretty straight forward. But you need to put it in the correct context. I mean...if you are home sick, you are in your correct position. You could have dificulties with other persons, and the divination should picture this, but It's unreasonable to say that you should not do this, take care of your health. We don't live in the middle ages.

 

[mary f]

LOL.
I mean I should not make commitments I cannot honour. I admit the health problem was bad in the beginning, but I think I could have attended the last part of the meeting series...
Anyway I am glad this did not turn into a bigger issue.
And thanks again Kit.

Be Sincere

61.6 can mean talking too loudly, talking too much, crowing about oneself, getting into conflict with one's superior -- something with words. You need to moderate yourself and always be sincere and worthy of trust in what you say. It's a warning against getting carried away when there is no real substance involved.

When we speak is also important. The cock crows only in the morning, and it only crows once.

Being someone who talks a lot, I have gotten this hexagram a lot, so I know it is an admonition to limit or otherwise moderate the verbiage.

What we say is never the important thing, anyway. The important thing is what we do.

Thanks a lot Barbra.
