I've been doing a lot of inner work in therapy lately. My relationships have been well, non-existent mostly. I rarely date and when I do, they fizzle out quickly. I knew I had issues to work on so I've been doing the work. It's not easy work. There are some deep wounds and I'm uncovering a lot of feelings that have been buried for a long time.
In my life I am, for the most part, happy, but still, I yearn to have a companion. someone to share my life with. I asked the Yi.
"What do I need to do to meet my soul mate?"
Hexagram 19.5 > 11
I would love a translation. To me it seems like it's saying just keep doing the work, keep growing. Don't rush because if something (a relationship) happens too soon, it's not going to work out.
Hexagram 19, Nearing
How does this want to grow?
How can you take responsibility for its development?
What would your greater self do?
Oracle
‘Nearing.
Creating success from the source, constancy bears fruit.
Reaching an end in the eighth month means a pitfall.’
‘Nearing’ means drawing closer and gazing down over what you approach. There are two strands of meaning here: the approach of a greater spirit or presence in an ongoing process of growth, and your approach as the one who pays attention and takes responsibility. Like the creative drive of Hexagram 1, this great, growing energy comes from the source, asks for your full participation, and seeks to reach fruition and be realized. But its surging growth can be disastrously interrupted by ‘reaching an end in the eighth month’.
The eighth month is the month of harvest. If this comes round too soon for what Nears to reach full growth – if the situation demands that you produce a tangible result prematurely – then this means misfortune. Or if you focus exclusively on results instead of watching patiently over developments – if your expectations are out of touch with the pace of growth – then there is misfortune.
Having something to show for a process of growth doesn’t mean you’ve arrived at its outcome: harvest is not the end. As each harvest is gathered in and stored, the seasonal cycle of growth continues; you need to stay present to its ongoing changes, wherever they might lead.

‘Above the lake is earth: Nearing.
A noble one teaches and reflects untiringly,
Accepts and protects the people without limit.’
Sequence
Nearing follows from Hexagram 18, Corruption:
‘With work to do, greatness becomes possible, and so Nearing follows. Nearing means greatness.’
Pair
Nearing forms a pair with Hexagram 20, Seeing:
‘What is right for Nearing and Seeing: someone reaches out, someone seeks.’
Line 3
‘Sweetness nearing,
No direction bears fruit.
Already grieving it, no mistake.’
11. T'ai / Peace
above K'un
below Ch'ien
PEACE / HARMONY / CONTENTMENT
In T'ai we see the little gone and the great come. It indicates that there will be good fortune.
GREAT SYMBOLISM
The trigrams for heaven and earth in communication together form T'ai. The sage sovereign, in harmony with this, fashions and completes his regulations after the courses of heaven and earth, and assists the application of the adaptations furnished by them, in order to benefit the people.
