Q: will I be able to handle school and a baby? A: 32.4 to 55

[One Water Star]

Hi!
So I’ve been accepted to school and in 33 years of age. Just reconnected with an x that I’ve loved for ten years now. Question is, will I be able to handle both at the same time as I’m kinda running out of fertile years but need to get an education also. This is a very personal question for me because I didn’t think I wanted kids (in truth I didn’t believe I was capable) for most of my adult life. Now that I understand my mental illness I can see all the negative talk that I’m not enough and that it isn’t true. I know this is far off from right now as I have just reconnected but I can’t help but notice how he inspires me to want to procreate.
Thanks for your help! I’m new to this but I believe this answer is an interesting answer which seems to say “go for it”.

I don't see this as a comment as to whether you could juggle it all that but more as a comment about your concerns re-conception. Is there any medical reason why you would be unable to reproduce? Or possibly your romantic interest doesn't see himself as having a kid.? If I had to make a judgement based on this reading I think you are being advised not to try to do it all at once. Meanwhile congrats on re-connecting with the old flame. That's lovely!

Doesn't this line sometimes indicate there are no obstructions so you can go through it? So since the question was "Will I be able to conciliate this and that" it could be that yes, no problem.
If you want a child just stop using contraception and let nature do its course perhaps, without actively seeking it (not thinking about days and stuff like that).
At 33 you would be considered a young Mother in my country
The last three friends of mine giving birth were 43!

Hello Water Star!

Reading your post made me glad; as it marks the coincidence of two (three?) happy events.

I'd like to comment on your readings; just 32.4 changes to 46, not 55. Can you write the exact cast?

Thanks so much for you input! I think I was having trouble seeing because this matter is close to my heart. Appreciate your response and with a few days of reflection I agree with you. I don’t have any medical reasons that I know of and he does want kids but to be honest I always had a feeling I wasn’t very fertile. However, I’m going to school for TCM so I’m sure I’ll be all balanced out and fertile by the end of my schooling

Thanks for your reply! I have the same outlook, if nature supports it, I have little to do but wait. But I do want to discuss not using contraception with Jesse because I don’t know how long it could take to get pregnant.
What country are you from? I’m in Canada

Hi! Sorry I’m new to this I’m not sure what the “cast” is exactly. I’ll attach a screen shot maybe that will help.

Ah, your reading was 34.2, not 32.4.

The Wilhelm translation for 34.2 is "Perseverance brings good fortune" - not so much a yes or a no but encouragement that as you stabilize where you are with each step then the next step is revealed. I read this as a caution not to over commit in any one direction but to assume you will be given guidance as you need it.

Water Star;
the cast means the answer the I Ching gives you, in other words, the hexagrams & changing lines.

You've received 34.2>55 which is really good- you can do it!

oops! Typical of me to mix up the numbers. Thanks for noticing! I feel a bit sheepish... but this does sound more like what I had interpreted. Thanks again!
