Umm...return receptively?

[kdedeaux4]

Sometimes I really wonder about the IC.... Do you think it's possible to read its responses in a completely subjective way? I'm starting to think for me it's not That's quite a bummer because I enjoy thet thoughts and deeper reflection the IC prompts in me.

I asked the IC today for some direction and insight into my love life... a very vague question because it's a very vague area of my life right now, full of doubts, questions, fears, ex-drama, and all sorts of wacky stuff. I'm currently on a mission to end a four year ongoing situation with my ex. I'm working hard at acceptance of the past and trying to look forward to a new future minus the troubles surrounding that. I've been stagnant for so long and I'm hoping the changes I'm creating will move to a more promising situation in the future...whatever that might be!

IC response: 24.1 changing to 2. I see 24 as return to myself, which makes total sense given my place in life right now. Line 1 throws me off, as it almost seems to hint at coming back to him (ok, four years is enough, right?)? I wish there were another person/relationship I could interpret this is indicating but again, I've got that "4 years thing" going on and there have been no other relationships.
And hex 2... seems to intermitently surround my questions regarding my relationship with my ex. On some level, this hex seems to regularly remind me of my devotion and receptivity (?)to him. Yes, true, but precisely what I'm attempting to escape!!
Any additional insights into this response? My hope is I'm missing something entirely from this message....and that it's not at ALL what it "seems" to me.
Thank you:bows:

Hi there!
i think you got a really nice reading here, looking at it real quick the answer seems to be on point with your question. You had asked for a direction in your love life and 24.1 i think is pointing you in the right direction. My idea or interpretation of it is that it is telling you to return to the right path and don't have remorse or negative feelings over the past, that you need to return to the right path for you before going any further along in this and to get back on track now.
I've always viewed hex 2 as staying receptive to new ideas or paths as they pop up and to keep my eyes and mind open looking for an oppurtunity. So maybe that is the advice the I ching is giving you, basically to get back on the right path to finding true love and keep yourself open to finding it!
it seems like a very spiritual reading to me, I like it a lot!
i've been there with long drawn out ex drama before and it stinks so i feel your pain!Moving on is easier said than done!
If you still get that sneaking suspicion that the reading may be nudging you back to your ex, you could maybe ask some questions directly involving him and that could maybe clarify the next step for you to take. Because in this question you didn't ask directly about him in specific so it may be hard to tell...

Thank you

Hi Alev,

Thank you for your perspective on this reading. I felt it was positive too, I just needed some help disconnecting my interpretation from the chaos of the past few years and seeing it as pointing to a new future. Seems that if something big and pressing is going on, I struggle to be open to seeing beyond that...everything seems connected to the very thing I'm trying to move away from. Yet, I think that's merely my mind's currently limited(trapped?) perspective My heart and mind seem to insist to embrace what my logic and reason wants to walk away from!
Thank you for helping with this and for your kindness in understanding this kind of challenging situation! :bows:
