First-time post. Read disclaimer.Joined just to ask. Situation as follows:
Old Story: Boy Meets Girl. He is married (happily he thinks). She is recently unattached and a highly-placed state officer. He is a private man. After third encounter and very unexpectedly to both of them, they make love and find it beautiful. During fifth meeting and after making beautiful love again they toss the coins, taking turns, for a reading on stilll warm bed. They are not very experienced with IC interpretation, although not new to it. They get a very (to them) disconcerting reading: Hexagram 7 with changing lines 1 and 2, changing it into Hexagram 24. Can you illuminate us on this?. The question we asked is this: How should we go about this? What is next?

Thanks in advance four your input. Sorry about my broken English.

Hex 7.1 this line tells you not to get carried away with your enthusiasm and excitement, take this relationship step by careful step.

Hex 7.2 says to take care and look after each other, keeping sharing what you have together then you will be able to overcome any problems that may arise in the future.

Hex 24 you will find that this relationship is a turning point for the both of you, a chance to experience new love and happiness.

To Willowfox

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We find them much pertinent. In fact, her reaction on a mail to me past sunday night went along with your comments for lines 1 and 2.

Another perspective, same disclaimer.

The Army, Returning. You're marching out with the concentrated force of an army on campaign. What's the campaign objective? Who - or what part of you - is in the lead? There has to be some leading, guiding principle, something you are headed towards.

To Return is - amongst other things - to walk on your path. Venturing out for new experience and insight, coming back home to re-integrate it all into the context of your life, but always on your path. How do you recognise your path? It has to do with introspection, not losing yourself in routine, listening hard to the smallest inner promptings.

The Army, Returning: try to keep your march, with all its intense power and fierce focus on one another, on the path.

‘The army sets out according to pitchpipes,
At odds with the strength of the army, pitfall.’

What are the rules and requirements, the conditions under which you have to move forward? Do these help you to use your natural strengths? I would guess that they don't, and this is likely to cause problems. (An obvious example: secrecy, lying, constantly thinking about how not to get caught... these things don't support the development of a relationship.) Is there a way you can create harmony between your strength and the 'pitchpipes' you have to march to?

'Positioned in the centre of the army.
Good fortune, no mistake.
The king issues a mandate three times.'

The army leader's line: the one who is responsible, and knows he is, so instead of watching things unfold from a safe distance he is there in the centre. And so he is ready and willing to receive the mandate from the king: he is the one who will be doing the important things, participating in the changes and making them happen.

'How should we go about this? What is next?'
Army, Returning. Have the focus and clarity of the army, know you aiming for and what you are creating. Make sure you keep that 'forward march' of events connected with your personal path. Don't allow yourself to be 'frogmarched' along by the immediate demands of the circumstances. Stay at the centre, know you are the leaders, be ready to change direction.

How should we go about this? With organized, well-led force. This doesn't refer to the love-making; it refers to the relationship. You should direct what's happening now, the powerful energies that your meeting and love-making is generating, with responsible and mature guidance.

What is next? Returning to where you belong.

Perhaps you could ask Yi to clarify what "returning to where you belong" means in your circumstance. How do these events and your actions relate to your values? How might they change the way you feel about yourself? other parties who have a stake in the issue....
