Near the end of winter my beloved cat Osiris (who we fondly nicknamed Kiki) passed away due to kidney failure. My boyfriend and I loved him very much, he was the sparkle in our eyes and even thinking about him makes me want to cry sometimes.
It was hard to get over the loss. Our house felt barren without him. We gave him a burial plot in our garden, the night of the full moon when he died.
Well, about 2 months went by and I finally felt ready to ask the iching when we would get another cat. The answer was 51, shock. I didn't know what to make of that so I just kind of set it aside.
Not but a few weeks later my boyfriend and I were lounging in the bedroom and I got the urge to look at the animals on the local SPCA website, and my boyfriend and I discussed what it would be like to bring one of them home. We weren't really looking to get one, but it was progress to play around with the idea and decide what we would and wouldn't want. We decided we'd probably want a kitten, and it would preferably be male so it wouldn't but heads too much with our other cat who is female.
Well, the next day I was browsing the Free section of craigslist, as I often do, and I saw an ad for Free kittens. I opened the ad and right in the plethora of pictures of this little kitten family was a kitten that looked just like our Kiki. To top it off, it was male, and the owners lived close by. I left the ad up on the screen and let my boyfriend kind of find it for himself. His reaction was the same as mine; we were in love with this kitten and we felt it was a little too perfect to ignore.
So after debating for a few days we made plans to pick him up. We're really into astrology so we decided to see what his chart would look like, and we counted back the 8 weeks from the day the ad was posted (as it said the kittens were 8 weeks old) and discovered that kitten was born the day that kiki died, on the full moon.
When we did finally get the kitten home he melted our hearts, he was so sweet, so cuddly. He was unfortunately covered in fleas so we had to give him 2 baths, which was tough for everyone, but luckily he's free of them now and growing and doing very well. We named him J'zargo, but we call him wiggles most of the time.
My question, then, for the Iching was this;
Is Wiggles a reincarnation of Kiki?
Hexagram 50.4.5 changing to 57
The hexagram 50 being about transformation, I think says a lot.
The line 4,
A leg of the caldron gets bent.
The duke's meal is spilled,
and he gets wet.
Misfortune.
I feel could represent the death. This line also changes to 18 (repair), which I think is somewhat supportive of the idea.
Line 5,
The caldron has yellow ears and metal carrying rings.
It is beneficial to persist.
I feel could possibly indicate the auspicious introduction of our new friend wiggles.
Also, as far as the relating hexagram 57, I read on the forum here that it can indicate something fitting right into place, almost as an extension of you or the situation, seamless.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this reading they'd like to share? I also came across a thread here about how animals of the same species might have a spiritual link or karma, I wish I knew what thread it was or who said any of it, but I know there was a story about a man who lost his wife that absolutely loved black labs, and a black brought an apple to his gate in front of him, and set it down and walked away. It might've been on her birthday or their anniversary, I don't remember. He had never seen this dog before or since and it was a small town of which he was familiar with most of the animals.
Not only did all of this really fall into place for us with the kitten's seemingly impeccable timing and ease of integration, but the he does this little 'hug' and pull/squeeze thing to your hand that our other cat did which my boyfriend found very special about him.
I realize the iching could be just describing our situation with the cat, but the question wasn't 'please describe the situation' it was 'is wiggles a reincarnation of kiki'. And I realize this is asking the question under the assumption that reincarnation exists to begin with. I'm really just open to hearing anyone's ideas about what this could mean... It's an interesting reading!
