I asked the I Ching to comment on me and someone having a relationship. For the 1st person I got Hexagram 47. No changing lines.

For the second person I got Hexagram 55 into Hexagram 21. I have a little idea of what the I Ching is saying. Maybe you can add on? Thanks.

OK, Cassius, I'm a beginner at this, so I'm not sure how helpful my insights will be, but since no one else has tackled it I'll give it a try.

47 for the first person doesn't sound too promising, does it -- it seems to indicate that a relationship with this person would be draining and oppressive.

I think with 55 it's saying that a relationship with the second person might start out gloriously. But changing lines 3 and 6 suggest that you'd run into big problems, perhaps as a side effect of one or both of you achieving professional or financial success, or because the relationship itself had an addictive quality. You'd find yourself literally or figuratively alone and it would take great decisiveness (21) to get over the problem.

I'm glad to see someone else using I Ching for guidance with these matters.

You could ask a question like "how can this person and I benefit by being in a relationship together?".

I am using the Stephen Karcher book "Symbols of love:I Ching for lovers,friends and relationships".


I suggest you ask further questions.You should look into this further.

Based on what I?m seeing here, neither of these relationships look balanced or stable. These sound like two very different types of people you?re considering courting. Near opposites, in fact.

The first reading shows a great deal of restraint and inhibition, prohibiting easy communication or exchange; as though neither party feels comfortable being themselves with the other, or that one or the other has secret ambitions.

Interesting that the second reading exchanges trigram positions for fire and thunder. This would seem to say there is either lots of passion or power, or both; as they tend to go together. What I don?t see here is much harmonizing or agreement.

I?d stay open for a more compatible mate or g/f.

(added note) Competitiveness is what comes to mind for 55-21.

I have done several readings for myself in relation to my ex. here is my recent.

Primary - 22 - Grace
Relating - The Clinging, Fire

My question is basically a reconciliation type question.

If anyone can assist in interpreting this it would be of great help

Hi Voodou93,

I guess you might have thought to ask relationship questions here, because the tread was called that way, but this is someone else's tread :-D. You could have started a new one yourself... But since you wrote...

On your first answer the Yi tells me that towards your ex you look to much to the outside instead if the signals send... (22 is grace, and by reading the lines, especially line 4 who's changing, you start to wander if the message is of much more importance then the way it was put...). By changing towards hex. 30 the Yi asks you back by trying to look for what 'clinged' you two together, and why you are afraid of letting it go...

I can't answer the second post properly as I have no background information, and then 53/42 can mean anything... In average it can mean that it's taking some time before profits are there....

For now...
Frank
