hi,

i asked what's holding me back in a relationship - i kind of feel i'm as afraid that it might work out as i am that it might not - and got

42, 2 and 4
changing to 41

i find it quite confusing, as 41 and 42 seem to be opposites. also, both lines of 42 sound extremely positive yet the outcome/background is 41?
help, please?

love,
sugar lobster x

42.4: . . Harvest: a sacrifice to inspire confidence in shifting the city.
You lack confidence in the shifting of your own city, your heart, so bring a sacrifice. No need to get a sheep and an altar, I think opening your mind up to fate and simply await with confidence whatever will be, is a very good 'sacrifice'. This line changes to 25, innocence, not having an end in mind, not awaiting success or fearing failure. 25.4: 'permits determination', determination is asking and receiving an answer from the gods, and having perseverance as a result.

42.2: Someone's increase. . . The king presents an offering to the Supreme Being. When you have an open and receiving heart, ready to unite with the supreme being, you will be increased, because you will also be able to make a true and lasting union with another being. It changes to 61.2, which talks about the crane and its young, being so much one with each other, that the young recognizes its mother even when she is invisible and far.

42: you have to give up your personal fears and limitations. An empty heart can receive, but filled with all your personal ideas, it will not be able to.

Seems to me a very positive answer.

hi liSe,

thank you so much for your comments. first of all i want to say that i really love your website and relate very much to the way you interpret the i ching and how you approach it.

i have realised, however, that i gave a wrong line -maybe i just needed to be told what you just wrote about 42.4 anyway!- but it was actually 42.5 - would be great if you could comment on that.

and i still don't understand 41 in this context...

with love and gratitude,
sugar lobster xx

42.5 changing to 27.5: The only thing you can do, and have to do, is being kind and true. It is the best way to make things work out positive, the only contribution which counts. Forget all about how things should be, ought to be, can be steered or could go wrong. Your heart gives you everything you need, just give what is in your heart.

I also made a typo (at the end): 42 should be 41.
