Is he single? - Hexagram 1 changing to 2

[yibee]

Hello,

I just received an interesting reading with hexagram 1 changing to 2. The question was not very intelligent. I asked if a certain person is still single as they've been subtly showing interest on social media. It's all very subtle. However, I couldn't figure their relationship status.

What could this possibly mean?! Any thoughts?

I'd take 1 as a single male, and 2 as available. However, what concerns me is that this reading would mean that every line in h1 would have to change for it to change to 2, and this has intense ramifications, so I doubt it's as simple as my first statement. It's generally referred to as line 7 - a flight of dragons, a flock, without heads. With such a complete transformation, other possibilities arise, some which challenge the imagination, such as, is he gay or transgender? Or, has he been married several times before? Is he a male without any sense of direction? It's an extremely dynamic reading, which leads me to think this is no ordinary guy.

Hi soo, Thanks for that insight. Yes that's right. Every single line changed.

Hello friend:

According to I Ching's rule, when there are six changing lines in Hex 1 or Hex 2, you should consider the special code of these two hexagrams(In the 64 Hexagrams, only Hex 1 & Hex 2 have special code).

The special code of Hex 1 says "There are a host of loongs, no one of them always be a leader." It seems that he had several girlfriends before, but now he is single.

Thanks Xuesongyu. Yes this person has had many girlfriends, flings etc.

Do all lines changing in hex 1 mean action of some sort because there's nothing direct coming from him. All subtle and implied. So I continue to ignore him and rightly so. Or maybe creative forces are at work in full swing assuming Yi was giving me an insight into the situation!

Perhaps hex 2 is suggesting that you allow yourself to be receptive like the earth, and also to be patient without compromising yourself (the constancy of a mare). Hex 2 also says at first, confusion; eventually a lord arrives to give direction. Perhaps, within time, he may make a direct move. The end of the Oracle states that by sticking to familiar ways of life, you will gain partners. Be yourself, be patient. He'll make a move when he's ready

I can't help being a bit tentative about the point of the Yi's answer and whether it's directed to your question. This is a very rare reading, and it seems uncharacteristic of the Yi I've known to "spend" it regarding a question about someone else you know only vaguely, or as you said, subtly. If I received this reading I'd at least consider the possibility that Yi is speaking to me about me, or about my mentality and emotional need to ask such as question. I'm not certain this is the case, just as I can't be certain it's about this mystery man. Heaven is no simple subject, and with all lines changing, it' seems anything but. This dragon begins beneath the surface, either hidden in the earth or in an abyss, such as deep waters, and only gradually emerges with due process, then somehow dances in the abyss, and is awake while others sleep, to finally appear in the heavens, and continues his ascent to the beyond, perhaps aspiring even beyond his means and proper place, and then either meets up with or multiplies into a flock or pack, all flying without heads. A dramatic metamorphosis to say the least, and ultimately transforming to the exact opposite, in the form of the open earth. I'd tread lightly on this one and consider that all of the above can occur within ones own psyche. I'm not saying it can't be taken at face value, which all interpretations offered thus far have have done, but I'd be inclined to take my own thoughts and imagination into consideration, and take refuge in the open and humble nature of the receptive, where upon I'd meditate upon it for a good while before reaching any conclusions. I'd ask myself, is this the kind of dragon I am safe opening up to, even if that dragon exists within myself?

Hi Soo. That's great insight.

Oops but no. This isn't someone I know vaguely. I'd actually typed a long detailed response earlier but edited and deleted most of it. This is an ex-lover from a very passionate affair 2 years ago and there was always a feeling its not quite over as earlier too we had parted ways once to kiss and make up. Not a stable pattern. Also, there were lies, secrets, fear, baggage from his side. Time passed. I began to recover and a while back I got back on a dating site and to my surprise got an I want to Meet YOU request from none other than Mr x. I didn't want to respond to a Meet ME button click pretty much like the Thank You button we have on here and expected atleast a few lines . So I joked that maybe he didn't recognise good ol me from my pics and wished him the best in his search. But I must say here that on his dating profile he had poigant letter addressed to the love of his life where he said he wasn't ready back then, he is now, and talked about his fears, vulnerabilities and having life kick him in the ass to appreciate you (the love of his life).

So after that failed attempt, I noticed he had deactivated his dating profile. But now very active on social media and very obviously looking me up as I don't want to say 'stalking me'! So with this background I asked my very unintelligent question if he was still single!

Hi Yibee,

That certainly does fill in the missing parts and lend greater emphasis to the significance of this other person. It's been my observation that relationships seem to be a high priority to the IC, yet it can be a bit cloudy since sometimes our own thoughts and emotions can be so strong that Yi speaks to us about ourselves rather than our question. I don't think your question was unintelligent, especially not after reading more abut your history with this dude. Your description of his past and present can be likened to the evolving lines, which are read bottom to top. Line 7 (meaning all lines) may have a facsimile to the folk expression, running around like a chicken with his head cut off. He may be quite beside himself, so to speak. He may also be thinking with his little head rather than the one that ought to be on his shoulders. You'd know if that was likely more than anyone here would.

The only advice I offer, which you're likely already well aware of, is to tread carefully. Watching his actions from undercover may be wise. The dragon illustrations and the old Cherokee man's words may still hold true. I repeat, 1 can be a very powerful hexagram, and 6 change lines (line 7) is not something I'd take lightly.

Best wishes to you.
