I am extremely tired of my relationship with X now. Is it worth it to continue our relationship?
An: 18 → 64
Qn: How much does X still wants to be in a relationship with me now?
An: 19 → 59
O dear, let me go look for my best "angry" face to put on...
How should I proceed with my relationship with X now?
Hex 16, Enthusiasm. Something I am definitely not feeling, nor have the energy to feel now at the moment. Is Iching poking fun of me and my stupidity? What do you make of this?
This is what I make of H16 unchanging: It would be a good idea in general to proceed with your relationship, but do you have the strength right now? The answer to that is "no."
You see, Elk, H16 is the hexagram of music. And this relates to a theme in the I Ching of when is the best time to do things and when is the best time to stay still, rest, and gather your strength for the future. Now is a time when you ought to be resting and building up your strength for the future.
Don't go so much by the titles of the hexagrams, as the titles can be misleading. Sarah Dening has written a translation of the I Ching, and she calls hexagram 16: Thinking Ahead. It means building up your strength for the future, when you will be able to move in a spontaneous way, as if responding to music enthusiastically. But that time is not right now.
To start all over again, you would need to find the strength. But line 18.4 indicates you might be a pliant and obedient type of person, not someone who'd really shake him up and make him see the light. If you tolerate his aloofness, if you let him get away with that, you won't be able to rectify what is really bad behavior on his part.
O dear... I'm getting confused abt hex 16, whether it's a "NOW" hex, or a "wait, build-up before you launch" hex.
Is there anyway to tell? I do know some more experience readers can tell base on trigrams, the months or seasons or something like that...
Question is, when should I then make a stand for myself. When will I know I am ready and move from just preparation and rest into enthusiasm (Hex 16) and speak up, stop tolerating X's aloofness and subjecting myself to indignity and silent tears (Hex 18.4)? Do any of the readings indicate a time?
Hello Cardioeros,
I did one last reading before I stepped away and kept my coins. I asked how to proceed in my relationship with X now? Got Hex 16 unchanging. Not meaning to offend sincerely, because I really do appreciate your comments and insight very much, but the final reading seems to go against what you said of "to grieve - let go - open your heart and soul to the great unknown this life has to offer" Unless Hex 16 means to do what you suggest enthusiastically??
