I would like more clarity on this reading. I am interested in the potential of a romantic relationship with this person.
What is the potential of a romantic relationship with C?

Your reading resulted in the following hexagrams:

changing to
38 19
Hexagram 38, Opposing



Key Questions

What if the difference were not a threat?
How could this tension be creative?
If you can't see eye to eye, what can you see?

Oracle

'Opposing.
Small affairs, good fortune.'

'Opposing' describes irreducible differences – desires, motivations and especially ways of seeing that diverge from one another. 'Opposing' people see differently even when they're looking at the same scene; they are utterly strange to each other, as if they came from different planets. With an inner state of 'Opposing', you contain mutually contradictory impulses – like two siblings under one roof – or see from two angles at once. You might see things not only for what they are, but also for what they mean, as if they were omens.

In small affairs, this kind of difference of view means good fortune. It's a challenge, a source of comedy, or a creative stimulus. In matters of great personal importance, though, where people's sense of identity is threatened by a different way of seeing, it will stir up survival instincts and trigger conflict. If you can scale matters down to 'small affairs', it becomes much easier to give space to both visions.

Image

'Fire above, lake below: Opposing.
A noble one both harmonizes and separates.'

Sequence

Opposing follows from Hexagram 37, People in the Home:
'When the way of the home is exhausted, you naturally turn away, and so Opposing follows.'

Changing Lines

Line 4
'Opposed, alone.
Meet an inspiring man.
Joining together in truth and confidence.
Danger, no mistake.'

Line 6
'Opposed, alone.
Seeing pigs covered in muck,
The chariot loaded with devils.
At first drawing the bow,
Then relaxing the bow.
Not robbers at all, but matrimonial allies.
Going on meets the rain, and so there is good fortune.'


Hexagram 19, Nearing



Key Questions

How does this want to grow?
How can you take responsibility for its development?
What would your greater self do?

Oracle

'Nearing.
Creating success from the source, constancy bears fruit.
Reaching an end in the eighth month means a pitfall.'

'Nearing' means drawing closer and gazing down over what you approach. There are two strands of meaning here: the approach of a greater spirit or presence in an ongoing process of growth, and your approach as the one who pays attention and takes responsibility. Like the creative drive of Hexagram 1, this great, growing energy comes from the source, asks for your full participation, and seeks to reach fruition and be realized. But its surging growth can be disastrously interrupted by 'reaching an end in the eighth month'.

The eighth month is the month of harvest. If this comes round too soon for what Nears to reach full growth – if the situation demands that you produce a tangible result prematurely – then this means misfortune. Or if you focus exclusively on results instead of watching patiently over developments – if your expectations are out of touch with the pace of growth – then there is misfortune.

Having something to show for a process of growth doesn't mean you've arrived at its outcome: harvest is not the end. As each harvest is gathered in and stored, the seasonal cycle of growth continues; you need to stay present to its ongoing changes, wherever they might lead.

Image

'Above the lake is earth: Nearing.
A noble one teaches and reflects untiringly,
Accepts and protects the people without limit.'

Sequence

Nearing follows from Hexagram 18, Corruption:
'With work to do, greatness becomes possible, and so Nearing follows. Nearing means greatness.'

Pair

Nearing forms a pair with Hexagram 20, Seeing:
'What is right for Nearing and Seeing: someone reaches out, someone seeks.'

You do not need to copy the entire thing, Brilliant! You might just write 38.4.6>19. That is the shorthand we use, and it's good to do this, because the moving lines are shown clearly.

This is a good reading for a romantic alliance, although things start off with many mis-perceptions and misjudgments. At first you don't like him, but after a while you see that he is a good man.
