Positive experience with 28.3 > 47

I just wanted to put this here because often this line gets a bad rap, and rightfully so. I asked about a txt I wanted to send. Got this line. 28.3 > 47
That freaked me out so I asked how the txt would land meaning how would the receiver feel after reading 8.1.2 > 60

the results were exactly that. In this case 28.3 simply revealed barriers coming down. It resulted in more openness, deeper communication and increased connection. (The text itself was about barriers (I love when YI does that) .
I think sometimes it’s read as buckling under stress or other variations but I haven’t found many interpretations that that buckling is actually positive and refreshing. Happy Holidays y’all ❤️

Collapse under stress. Traditionally said to fall because of a lack of support.

I know this is old, but I see you're still on here. I just got this for my "reading of the day" that I do pretty often. This looks really bad. I hope you're right about it being occasionally positive. Or at least whatever happens might be over by tomorrow :/

Goodluck. This did work out positively for me but in hindsight the relationship did not survive . We had already broken up and I responded to their holiday text. I wasn’t sure if I should because I had gone no contact. I responded kindly which lead to a brief and fun text exchange plus a meet up for a few weeks— that only made healing from the relationship more difficult. It was positive. But temporarily so.

The moral of the tale ;) is I don't think we can head too fast towards 'this is what this answer means' because immediate experience in a situation isn't always indicative of the longer term direction of something.

I've noticed this a good few times. So for example I asked about auspices for a night out with a group I was in and got a rather 'ending' kind of answer. After the night out the reading really didn't seem to apply at all since I had a good time and things went well. But I knew from experience that the 'ending' answer wasn't all about the immediate experience of the night out and it wasn't.

Likewise often in SR I'll read threads where in the short term someone has said "no, all you people who said this wasn't going to work are wrong because actually everything is going fine....
....so there :tongue2:" ....well not quite like that but anyway....
....one will often note 6 months down the line there's another thread where it is revealed that it's not going fine at all. If one is restrained and humble one tries not to say "well we told you that but would you listen???".....but seriously it happens to everyone because we naturally believe in the latest experience in regards to a matter, naturally we do. If Yi gives me a doleful reading about a friendship and I go out with the friend that night or that week and we have a great time I'll think 'well that line played out well maybe 29.6 isn't so bad'....actually that has happened to me....but then 18 months on with hindsight I can see the 29.6 play out in that time.

It begs the question of when do we really ever know for sure what some answers mean. Some for sure are very clear, others one reassesses over time. I notice entering readings from a year ago into my journal that I see them quite differently now to how I did at the time because I have more of a view in time, more perspective to assess meaning with. That's when if one has entered the experience in wiki one needs to go back to edit and so on. But will the entry need editing again after 2 years or 3 years when I see even more clearly the ramifications of that reading?

That is one reason I tend only to put fairly vintage readings in wikiwing. Readings do 'ripen' they are not always fully ripe at the time of plucking. It is very useful in term of learning to watch how they ripen but not always so helpful to believe we know the point when they have fully ripened.

And actually that's one good reason not to adhere too much to other's experiences of casts in the 'hexagram search' for example. We only see up to the point they have recorded not what came next. It's still useful to look at that and at wiki but it's not always as it seems, not always where the story ended or came to fruition.
