I'm still really worried about this friend of mine and I'm thinking of getting on a plane and going to see him in person. I asked,

What can I do to help him?

39.5 to 15

In the midst of the greatest obstructions,
Friends come.


Answer seems obvious. I need to go to him and offer my help.

How does he feel about seeing me again? (Haven't seen him for some time)

14.2.5.6 to 49

He sees it as something valuable(14) and something that would bring about change.(49)

I think this is a good move and one that I need to make. I'm making a reservation now. Any other ideas? It seems clear to me what I should do.

You Have A Big Wagon

Hello...this is the first time I've ever chimed in, so I hope I'm helpful. It seems pretty plain to me that this is a very positive thing to do; I'm still navigating my own relationship with the I Ching, so I'm not totally comfortable with the notion of divining what others may think or feel.

But reading it in terms of you, it seems like you're doing the right thing and your efforts will be successful regardless of your friend's initial feelings about seeing you, so don't hesitate. I'm using the Wilhelm trans., and 14.2 talks about "a big wagon which will carry a heavy load, and in which one will travel far" -- your friendship? Your regard for your friend? (It also talked a lot about blessings descending from heaven, which I thought was kind of cool since you're taking a plane up there!)

As far as the change in 49, might it mean a positive change in your relationship with your friend?

Hope it helps.

Thank you Mercury.

I thought the 14.2 and the 39.5 might both refer to the fact that I will be able to help him in some way. Perhaps I am the "big wagon for loading"...or is that the plane? :) 39.5 seems very straightforward to me...assisting a friend in trouble.

I agree with you that it seems like a very positive thing to do. The 49 I think must refer to the fact that this will mean a big change in our relationship.

FWIW I find 49 is more about renewal than some huge change.
