Love advice- 2 different results from online reading vs coin reading!

Hi there,

Okay I'm slightly confused as I did both the online clarity reading plus a coin tossed reading the old fashioned way. If you read the attachment it describes a particular reading result.

I did the coin toss (30 mins after the online one) and got this instead.

Present 28
Future 44

Could it be that they are both correct from different perspectives? Do you have any advice in terms of asking the same question e.g. if you ask once is it best not to ask again for a particular amount of time? Is it common to get conflicting advice when done two different methods or within a short space or time? Advice please!

Well yes if you cast a reading twice you're likely to get different results, and yes, it's definitely best not to ask the exact same question twice within 30 minutes. It also doesn't matter to Yi what method you use to cast your reading. People have found that Yi will speak meaningfully through many methods.

Each of the two readings you cast is telling you something. The second one might be a further comment on your question, or it might be a comment on the fact that you asked the same question twice, or something else - but there will be some message there for you.

It's probably best at this point to concentrate on the first reading for a while, until you understand what it's saying about your question, and then look at the second one again.

Think of it like talking to a person, and asking them (for example) what they think of your new car. You ask the first time, and they might say, "It's a pretty color." If you ask the same question again 30 minutes later, how do you think they'd react? They might repeat exactly what they said the first time: "It's a pretty color." Or they might say, "Well, I think it's too small for your family of 5." Or they might look at you funny and remind you you just asked them that. And so forth.

28.6>44 just means that you got over-involved in asking that question. That is not blameworthy, according to Yi. But it is really best not to pester the I Ching with the same question over and over, because Yi remembers all the questions you ask and all the answers you got, no matter which method you used. :)

Thank you, appreciated, that is what I thought. I had another friend who told me something similar.

In general is there a rule you think in terms of how long to leave it before asking the same question?

I think that I Ching is something that must respond with our energy in order to have any kind of truth, so when I receive an answer to the same question that conflicts or contradicts another I find that this is the Yi telling me that the explanation lies within what is not expressed by the I Ching, so what lies within myself in regards to the question. What was unsatisfying about the first answer that led you to ask again? The answer to that question will reflect in the nature of the second answer you received.

In times where I've been emotionally distraught I have consulted the Yi more than once. I agree that the Yi can be looked at as a person, and in times of grief or deep confusion the Yi has been patient with me in giving me several answers that eventually led me to the middle way. Between both seemingly conflicting answers there is a way, and that really is the true answer to your question if you can find it :)

You can read the rule in the judgement of hexagram 4.
Wilhelm: ...It is not I who seek the young fool; the young fool seeks me. At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity. If he importunes, I give him no information....

Or another way to think of it:
Try to understand the first answer,
especially if you don't like the answer or are confused by it.
