I can't figure out how to phrase a question. I don't want to ask it badly and end up with (yet another) answer I don't understand.
The background is this:
An important event is scheduled to occur on a certain date within the next few weeks. My attendance at the event is not required, although I think I ought to be there, and I would like to be. It would require me to do a lot of planning and preparation.
The event itself has gone through a number of stages. I've asked Yi some questions about my potential involvement, and have gotten answers which sounded mostly like "don't worry about it."
I kind of expected to hear that the event was not going to occur (either at all, or, at least, not any time soon) but then the date was actually set.
As I said, my own perspective is that if I wasn't there, it would be like not attending your sister's wedding or your boss's retirement dinner (it's neither of those things, but it's a major event). It is likely that the other people involved don't expect me to come. Whether they would like me to come may or may not be a different matter - I don't know what their innermost wishes are; I could see it either way.
I've been wondering if the reason I've gotten strange readings is because the event really won't happen after all, despite the date being set. I want to ask Yi that. But I'm stuck - how do I ask?
"Will it be postponed / cancelled?" - we're not supposed to ask yes/no questions.
"How likely it will be postponed / cancelled?" - still pretty much a yes/no question.
"Why have you been telling me not to worry about this?" - assumes that is actually what Yi was saying in the previous readings. It sounded like that to me, but mostly I didn't understand them at all. Also, when I ask Yi to explain previous readings I rarely get anything that makes sense to me.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
