Show Me the Increase!

W.Fox, Please Show Me the Increase!

I've been getting a lot of 42 lately. I believe 42 has to do with self-improvement and "readying" oneself for opportunity, but I thought the opportunity is supposed to show itself once those preparations are made as opposed to making opportunities for oneself, which is more how I see Hexagram 35. Yes? No? Basically, I am growing and changing quickly, but have not had any doors lunge (or even squeak) open in my face, so am looking around for increase, but not really seeing any. Maybe I'm just being impatient, but believe you me, I've waited a very long time for outside change so if waiting is the blessing, i'm now looking for a curse!

Within the past 2-3 weeks I asked,

What do I have to look forward to romantically? 42.3
What can I do to be happy? 42.
Is 'X' happy? 42.4
How does 'X' rank amongst all the loves I will experience throughout my lifetime? 42.2

Now 'X' happens to live in a different city, but also happens to be looking for a job, one of which could bring him to my city. The Yi refuses to discuss my future with me, however, because the Yi knows how I am. So when I asked about "our" future, I got 52 moving to 50, which told me nothing other than one way or another, the bloke's very existence is enough to help me transform....which is what I'm doing...while I wait for increase.

Hex 42 says that if you see something that is good then copy that attitude or behaviour, make yourself more appealing to the opposite sex by bringing out the best in yourself. If you look special and are special then doors will fly off their hinges for you. So, it is down to the power of positive thinking, you have to work at it to get the effects that you want. Increase in you comes through improvement, you grow, you mature, you blossom. That in turn brings increase to others as they will want to be a part of your life.

What do I have to look forward to romantically? 42.3 This says you have a lot to look forward, there are strong forces working in your favour, so expect the unexpected but never fear whatever happens will happen for the best and you will always come out ahead.

What can I do to be happy? 42. You have to help yourself as happiness lies within you and not in external things. If you are happy and contented then everything in life will go smoothly, so don't be greedy for anything.

Is 'X' happy? 42.4 X looks contented with what he is doing at present.

How does 'X' rank amongst all the loves I will experience throughout my lifetime? 42.2 One of the best. Someone you will never forget.

So when I asked about "our" future, I got 52.2,4 to 50 It suggests that you are relying on him far too much at the moment as it seems that he is making some big mistakes with his own direction in life, so you need to wait for him to settle down and find ht e correct path. So, the relationship is still in its preparatory state, it has potential but it depends on the two of you to blend together to form a whole.

Thank you for your time, that was helpful.

When you say he is making mistakes with his direction in life, what do you mean? I once stooped and asked how he felt about me and got 27.4. I'm thinking you're going to tell me he probably feels 27.4 for most women and so it could be a while before he develops something more along 42.2 for me?

Thanks again for your insights-very appreciated.

 

[willowfox]

He is doing something wrong at the moment but maybe he will correct this error later on.

Line 27.4 was about you and thus he does feel somewhat protective.

Follow Up Q: 3>15

It's a little rough trying not to think about what you said so today I asked,

What is the nature of his wrong-doing?

(No sure if it is about being "wild" as in bachelorhood...or career-related since, as I said, he is looking to change jobs at the moment and perhaps has interest in the "wrong" one?)

The answer I received was 3.1.3.5>15, which doesn't make much sense to me. Is the "difficult beginning" about his new job, starting a relationship with me (we aren't currently in one) or something completely different? Or do I just not know his life well enough to decipher the details being provided through the changing lines?

Any help much appreciated. This is my last question for this thread.

What is the nature of his wrong-doing? 3.1.3.5>15

It would seem that he is stuck and is therefore trying to force the issue which is the wrong way to approach his problem, perhaps this is job related, as line 3.3 says that trying to find a job in a different city without any inside help is going to prove a waste of time and therefore he should stop. It further suggests that he is unable to prove that he is a good employee as people just don't want to listen, difficult times.

42.3 (above) might refer to his loss being my gain because the one city where he does have an inside contact is my city, and last we spoke, it sounded like the least exciting job of the bunch.

Really then I think his big mistake right now is failing to recognize that I am here, what better direction am I?

I'd be happy to update you after something gives-let me know if you'd be interested and thanks, sincerely, for your thoughts and time. Thanks to you I'm keeping my options open and my eyes on the doors coming off their hinges.

Yes, it might, as I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, him wasting time and resources, searching for the unattainable, and in the end having to come back to home base a bit worse for wear. But you gain whatever happens.
