There responses with unchanging hexagrams

[thys]

Hello,

I just joined this forum. I'ts great. I am starting my I Ching studies and hope to learn more and more every day.

I made some questions today about a relationship. I hope you can help me with the responses.

My questions:

What does he wants from our relationship? I got Hex. 2 unchanging.
Where is our relationship going? Hex. 31 unchanging.
Is he attracted to me? Hex. 32 unchanging

I thought that unchanging hexagrams were more easy to understand, but this is not the case, unless for me.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you.
Thys

Hi

Just in case the comment could be of any use

Something is just starting (see if you can recall anything relevant to the relation within August 1st and September 15, 2009); but it is too soon to know.
He wants to remain open to the posibilities, and wants to know if what he see is real. But he doesn't want to take any initiative yet.

Best wishes

If you got these three answers with no moving lines by doing consecutive readings, then a very unusual thing has happened. There is roughly (depending on divination method) a 25% chance of getting a moving line on each coin toss. Thus there is a 75% chance of getting a non-moving line on each coin toss. To get 18 non-moving lines in a row, I believe the probability is .75 to the 18th power, or .00563771011. This number is approximate, but it should be close and it means that receiving three hexagrams in a row with no moving lines happens only 5 or 6 times out of 1000 by chance.

What the significance of receiving three hexagrams like this not from chance but from Yi, I simply don't know.

I mention all this in case, since you are "just starting your I Ching studies", that your technique of calculating the moving lines may be at fault.

On other matters, I agree that hexagrams with no moving lines are often harder to understand, not easier, in most cases. There has been discussion about this in the past, and perhaps others remember where the links are.

Thank you, Tigerintheboat. I am pretty sure I have the right Hex. and lines. I made other two questions during my reading where I've got moving lines, but I more or less understood them and didn't post them. So, as weird it seems, it is.

Yeah, something happened early in September (for the first and last time...) and after that a new situation that changed things between us. So I've been pretty confused lately about us. And still confused. Thank you, Jesed.

What does he wants from our relationship? I got Hex. 2 unchanging.

He is being passive to you. He is in motion, looking for signs.

Where is our relationship going? Hex. 31 unchanging.

From the Wikiwing: "Implies mutual openness, an influence deeply felt, being moved, attraction."

Is he attracted to me? Hex. 32 unchanging

Persevering, Enduring, A cycle of nourishment, Creating Success. Wing says: "Personal relationships will now develop most comfortably within the structure of enduring social institutions such as marriage or family."

Best,
Tiger

I see it as a very stable situation for a young relationship.

What does he wants from our relationship? I got Hex. 2 unchanging.

Dedication, openness, willingness, loyalty.

Where is our relationship going? Hex. 31 unchanging.

Headed toward courtship, but of course no guarantees of it. Mutual attraction at least.

Is he attracted to me? Hex. 32 unchanging

For the long term, yes.

Thanks a lot to all of you!
