Please help Hex 52.1.2.6->11

[modesty]

Hi all,

Once again, I am asking for any help out there!

After a three years of struggling to keep my family together. My wife finally told me this is the end. There is no other man in her life, neither have I got another woman. It's just that she is struggling within and now just give up on life !! I still love my wife and like my little boy to grow up with both parents but come to accept that my effort alone will not suffice. I need my wife to fight alongside me.

I asked the I Ching to comment on my Moving on. I got Hex 52.1.2.6 ->11
Hec 52 is about keeping still, and all the moving lines reinforce the idea of stand still.
It's hex 11 that I do not understand. Does it mean my wife may turn around and decide to work on this family. or Does it mean God closes one door and opens another?

Strangely enough, I am feeling quite calm inside and will accept whatever happens to my life. I think I can accept I Ching's advise. This case does not ( I hope) involve wishful thinking, but I want some clarity of mind.

Appreciate very much any help coming my way.

Hex 52.1 you are at the start of a new situation, so before making a move make sure what you want and which direction you wish to follow, so consider your position very carefully.

Hex 52.2 now is the time to make your own choices and to stop following your wife, she is on the wrong path and can no longer be rescued or saved. You are like a servant to her and to continue following her will only bring you more heartache and sorrow.

Hex 52.6 you must win yourself emotional stability, so find that inner peace and all will go well.

Hex 11 so, to move on gains you peace of mind, it is the time to look at your situation in a new light, this will prove to be a good thing for you, a new start, new opportunities, new relationships, so prepare for the future.

Thanks Willowfox

Hi Willowfox,

Thank you for your comment. One thing that still bugs me with the second Hex (number 11). Even at this point in time, I do not regard my wife as "the mean", so the comment "The mean departs, The good approaches" does not seem quite fitting.

By the way, in your experience, does the second Hexagram represent likely outcome or should we use it as supplementary interpretation for the first hexgram? I always seem to have problem working with the resulting hexagram

Regards,
modesty

Take no notice of the word 'mean', it just means that the problems that you have been experiencing will fade away, go away and better/good times will come to you, here it suggests the separation from your wife will have a good outcome for you, a time of peace and harmony. All your posts have always suggested that she has been a very disturbing influence for you and your son, so when she leaves, then you can find peace of mind and prepare yourself and your son to meet the future together.

The second hex, gives you more information about the situation and suggests the outcome if you follow all the advice given, so here it would mean that if you finally let your wife go and not follow her anymore, then you can expect a better and more fortunate future without her. Hex 52.2 is saying what to do concerning your problem with your wife, so better you finally heed it.
