Well, I guess I'm not used to how western people react since us Asian people tend to be more serious. And you have to agree respecting each other will be a nicer way to communicate isn't it?

I worked in Taipei for nearly a year, and I have worked in China, and in Singapore and in Malaysia and in Hong Kong and in Thailand.
So, maybe I don't know about Asian people as I have only lived there, and studied there and worked there.
And believe me I know how rude and arrogant some Asian people can be.
Crape-Myrtle?? That's the translation of "ziwei" Is that a Yijing school? Curious...
Chiahsieh, as you might have noticed, Westerners tend to be more frank and direct in their opinions. Sometimes, even stepping into the terrain of "impoliteness." That should be one of the first lessons to be learned when you come fresh from an Asian set-up. Once that is learned, then you would take things from where they come and accept them as the way people expresses. So, don't take things here too seriously when they come in the form of a criticism as they should not be personal attacks.
Also, remember that many of the people here have spent decades using and studying the Yijing, both from the Western as well as from the Chinese/Asian perspective. Not always a Chinese/Asian perspective or take on the Yijing is better than a Western one, regardless of the origin of the oracle. That's why is good to share information and discuss it, without the pretense, as some do here, that they are always correct.
I like to learn what you've learned from your teachers and I will take the information in the context of where it originates. And respect you for that.
Yijing school?? Not sure what you are talking about, but I'm not in yi-jing school, my master taught me face to face, one to one. Do beware of many yijing schools in asia, a lot of them are gold diggers. Be wise, be selective.
LOL! No, no... I was asking you if "crape-myrtle" was a good translation for 紫薇. Another possibility would be "purple fern." How would you translate those two characters? And more important, what is 紫薇? Can you explain that for us?
Other than that, I agree with you about "schools." Nice for you to have found a good teacher.

The reason the example you gave illustrates your style of reading so well is because the example is about time. However, how would you interpret the same hexagram and lines you used in your example if your question had been something like:
"What do I need to know about marrying this girl?"
Hi Dobro,
I would suggest everything has a time or sequence to it.
