I CAN DEFINATELY SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE NOW... i have read the left side, The Marrying Maiden (mistress?) something like The Joy Luck Club

The right side, Following, i see that it shows a changing of the heart, events unfolding in accordance with their own schedule, and failing to keep to yours meaning, let the universe take over?

please advise and tell me if i read this correctly? thank you so much.:bows:

Hex 54.2, 5 > 17

Line 54. 2 This indicates your situation well, the man of your dreams will still be with another but it says that you will never lose hope.

Line 54.5 Yes, he will be back but I see this as you being like his mistress so to speak, the need to keep rather a low profile.

Hex 17 therefore suggests that you will have to wait for him for a few romantic interludes but overall nothing really special will happen, like in what you asked before of him.

Willow!

Ithought of you when this was cast last night. I said to myself WOWAHAHHAHA

This is pretty freaky huh?

I knew you would say that. But DANG!!! this was pretty IN MY FACE huh?

When I read, in several sites, of The Marrying Maiden, it was pretty much STRAIGHT FORWARD,

But Willow, I tried to understand the Hexigram 17, Following...

can you shed some light on this for me.....what does this mean - besides the romantic interludes, which are difficult because we live in arizona and california.

Just also wanted to tell you Willow.

this guys is a childhood friend of mines and my family. we have a history together and we are from the same "Soprano" neighborhood in Brooklyn. We are also, very good friends. we can be like brother and sister besides lovers as well, its just that through the death of another friend of mines, who we also knew back in brooklyn in the 70's, we jus so happen to find each other again.

we have always been coming/going into each others lives. for years, and he has followed me to san fran in the past, i was the one who kept pushing him away.

but i also date, have a job, a family, a home and i go to my acting classes and my workshops are in CA. so please, don't think i am just "a mistress" (LOLOL - ) he and i are also very much friends who share cheescake and coffee as well as kisses and hugs. I think its an amazing gift to have a friend from the past come back into your life and you get to have a second look at them in their senior years and get to know each other again. i think its a blessing. but, since this dude is taken, i only enjoy the friendship and the twisted sense of humor that we both have with each other. we are still "the kids" from the neighborbood.!


thanks Willow!

True romance?

EWEHHH

AND I ASKED FOR "TRUE ROMANCE"

WOW....Has the I-Ching a sarcastic sense of humor?

why would it give me this answser?

 

[arabella]

I believe that the IChing isn't cheekily commenting on what you deserve [which is apparently better than you realise], or on the possibility of a true love happening this year. I think that by presenting you with the Marrying Maiden, the IChing makes reference to what you have preferred for yourself: the transitory over something lasting.

Each of us fills our life space with friends, family, material goods, work, hobbies, and other things. When the space is stuffed completely to the brim with the elements we allow to occupy our time and love, there isn't much the Universe can do to add to that. Especially not the love of a lifetime. There just isn't room anywhere [emotionally or spiritually] for that to happen.

Willow Fox has read the lines for you here in a very practical way, as you had asked, explaining the possibilities you have left for the appearance of "true love" in the jam-packed scenario you have accepted and acknowledge when you say that life is brimming over -- "i also date, have a job, a family, a home and i go to my acting classes and my workshops are in CA." And then in the midst of your hectic life there is this fella who knew you for donkey's years and never got serious, who already has a partner, who apparently takes up the remaining space for "love interests" in a somewhat random way. Why this poor substitute for the love of a lifetime? Because that's what will fit in the psychologically available space I would imagine. That's what you have prepared to accept.

When the IChing throws up the hexagram 54 to you I would think how I am filling my life and whether I am leaving an appropriate amount of room, energy and joy for the "love of my life" to appear. If you allow randomness to occupy your time and space, there isn't room for gifts from the Universe like a true love. Which is the way you have gone along for a while -- and just fine to be that way -- so long as you realise the deal you have made and what you are settling for.

If you want something authentic, [as Hexagram 17 indicates you might have if you prepare for it], you need to leave room for the authentic to appear. Clear the air space of guys who already have somebody and who want your kisses and hugs, love and attention, in exchange for some cheese cake and coffee. This is the "true love" of nobody's life.

In your heart of hearts open a space the size of an airfield. Paint a huge bull's eye in the centre and put up a sign that says, "genuine article only." Nature loves a vacuum, especially one put in place with intention. If I were in your shoes, I'd make it obvious to your erstwhile friend, to the Universe, and to everybody else that I'm ready for the real thing and will accept no substitutes. This, I believe, is what Hex. 17 is telling you.

Have a look at Hexagram 17 in LiSe's IChing [yijing.nl] where she explains the importance of playing life as though it were a Stradivarius violin and allowing into your life only those relationships and experiences that resonate with the same standard of excellence. You deserve the real thing, but you have to clear the deck of cheap substitutes in order to have it. That's my guess anyway.

Cool thanks

Awesome thanks my friend!

 

[willowfox]

I never said he was happy in his relationship with his wife, I said he was stuck and unable and now unwilling to make any major life changes as it would cost him in many ways, the pure upheaval of going through a divorce would be disastrous.

You say that you want him to stay with his wife but in reality you don't, but he will. Your hope will burn and burn so remember the good times and cherish those memories, try not to get fixated on this, so when you spend a weekend together just live in the moment and expect no future, don't let that thought mar your time together when you are together.

Perhaps you could pay a visit to Cal. in the next couple of months to talk and reminisce with him, a few days of running around LA.

But your quest for answers requires new questions to be asked, okay, we know August looks lively, but if you need to know other things then you need to pose more questions as it is so much better when you yourself ask the questions.

 

[amy luisa]

hi willow!

My friend... i did not know that in I-Ching you could do that.

I am still reading on how to phrase questions.

yeah, you are right...but you know something...you are right. we are so fun together, i still want, like he has always said to me, to stay in each others lives in whatever way we can, because so much has happened in the time we were separated and we found out about each other and our families - my cousin in saN fran is best freinds with his sister as they went to college together and we also have other mutual family aquintences that lost tract. i never knew his mom died and he told me about that.

I think that we also, benefited in a way when we reunitef with each other again. its good to have at least the freindship because we laugh so much when we are together as well as have some very deep heart to heart talks.

yes, i will cast another I-Ching (referring to me, as i have read this was how it was to be best done) what can i learn about this relationship or what can i expect from this friendship.

This is good as Arabela sAid, to have room for someone wonderful and AVAILABLE come into my life. He alwAys asks me if i am dating and he wants to know what kind of guy i like (hmmm) i asked him jokingly....Why? do you have a freind you want to introduce me to? LOL

As i said, i did not know i could ask again....i will.....thank you my friend.

ahhhhhh.....no more of this crying anymore.......no more!!! ground rules......

I don;t know if i will be going to CA this may though, have to see if my actor workshop has an audition i can participate in.

love to you....
\ahhhhhhhhhh willow.......

this is what i accept....good to see him again......
hope that it all works out...

At Peace...?:bows:

 

[amy luisa]

August looks lively??????hahahahaha

 

[amy luisa]

August

this appears to be a strange month......:bows:

 

[arabella]

Maybe it's strange because somewhere inside you are still willing to accept just whatever comes your way without consideration for what you really want and need? Throw aside desperation and imagine what would really be an answer and fulfill your dreams.

 

[amy luisa]

hi arabella

nahhhh - i don't think so.....

that, i have to say - is not true.....

not by a long shot!!!!! lolol

but thanks for the insight anyway....:bows:

 

[arabella]

I say this because you seem to still be attached and grappling with the old loves in life and haven't truly cleared the airfield for somebody new. At least, that's the way it appears from the questions you raise on here. Are you being completely forthright with yourself on this? Much of where you've been seems to be where you still are. I know the syndrome, believe me. It's hard to break but, until you do, mediocrity rules.

 

[amy luisa]

thank you arabella

thank you for your insight.
