Welcome to Clarity, Speedlight. What it means depends on the situation -- your focus of concern. A casting transform perception of the situation. In I.A. Richards' terms, situation is tenor, casting is vehicle. Although the hexagrams and lines have definite meaning, how the situation is to be interpreted is indefinite unless it is somehow identified. Although the situation is not directly given in your presentation, the connotation of your presentation suggests to me that situation relates to work rather than to health or relationship.

Thanks pocossin:),
for your introduction. Well has to do about a relationship, to wait or not, how to move. So the answer to my quetion is how i realize what the hexagram and the lines say to me ? Because it is a little complicated.

I think that i have to focus on the target but i must be calm beacause there are difficulties and also there are different chances. Am i close to the way of thinking?

p.s. from what I understand the answer is different in a question about love and has another meaning in a question about work e.t.c.?

You realize what the casting (hexagrams, trigrams, line text and associations) says to you by dwelling on it and by finding features of it that parallel features of the relationship. My opinion, of course.

It's a good practice when posting at this forum to say what question you asked. Also, we usually would record your reading this way: 15.1.3.5 > 3.

I am most familiar with line 15.3, which means it will be arduous to follow along that path, and the path itself is a good one. And hexagram 3 means that there will be difficulty at the beginning. I guess you are now experiencing that difficulty and that is why you threw the coins ...

Hexagram three indicates a situation in its early stages, and everything is somewhat in a state of chaos, and things must come together so we can make sense out of the situation. Hexagram 15 line one carries on this theme in a sense, as the first line usually shows a situation in its incipient stages. The lines mentions that in the early stages, one should be unassuming. In other words, don't assume that more exists within the relationship than does. Be realistic about the status of the relationship in the early stages, and, as the commentary on line one says, "he imposes no demands or stipulations..." Do not assume too much about the status of the relationship at first. The third line says, "...carries things to completion." In other words, while it is unwise to assume to much in the beginning, one can quietly go about removing any slight resistances, and build a relationship in a friendly manner. Again, the commentary on line three says, "Wins the support necessary." Thereby, one can not assume early on, but can cautiously build a relationship and
gradually, and win his support.

Line five carries this even farther, saying, "No boasting of one's wealth before one's neighbor. Once again, do not assume until it is clear, but then, it says, "must make certain of the people around him." In other words, once you are certain about the status between you, then you can make quick progress. The line says, "It is favorable to attack with force." First, define things, then you can move forward.
