47.2 To go forth without being prepared would be disastrous, though not morally wrong. Here a disagreeable situation must be overcome by patience of spirit.

47.4 Instead of proceeding with speed and energy where there is need, he begins in a hesitant and measured way.

Decide what needs to be done and then do it!

You didn't say what your situation is, but I know it's making you feel drained of energy.

47.2. You cannot even enjoy your meals. No help is forthcoming from friends and associates. You may still get some help from someone else.

47.4. Sometimes this line means that you've placed too much faith in someone of much higher position than yourself. You're waiting on this person to help you. For example, you may be worrying about money, even though you have enough money. You are not destitute. Best to leave off thinking that you're down to your last pennies, Edge.

I think the true answer lies in that relating H8 you got. You may be stuck in association with people who simply are not helping you.

Personally, I like to ask Yi about that. I would ask: "What do I need to know about that hexagram 8 I just got?" Yi regards the influences in our lives to be crucially important and always wants to tell us more about our choices in this regard . . .

Thank you both, for your interpretations, definitely made me think! The situation is the relationship with a man who I got back in touch with after we split up a few months ago. We agreed to be friends, and keep an open dialogue in the future (my decision), as he has a lot of emotional baggage and is quite scared of opening up, even though he has strong feelings for me, and I in turn, don't want to be hurt by getting too involved when he may disappear on me again! He lives quite far away, and though answers messages very quickly, doesn't instigate conversation right now. Part of me feels it would be best to walk away but previous advice (is he the one: 53, and what will happen with him: 53: 3,4,5,6 to 16) indicated I should just let things take their course slowly.
So to get more clarity I asked:
Should I give up? 45:3 to 31
and
How is the relationship likely to progress? 37:5 to 22

My impression is this is telling me to chill out and let things take their course, but I would appreciate your thoughts,
Thank you!

Dening says that 45.3 means that the group you want to join is a closed circle. You won't be able to push your way in, but might be invited to join if you make an ally.

Line 37.5 indicates mutual trust and affection within a family or group.

Must be a lot of people around this person.
