[goddessliss]

Hi,
I know this is not the greatest way to question the IChing but I wld appreciate any insight if you can

I still hold a candle for my exhusband(refer to my previous threads if you wld like the rest of the story) so I asked

wld x prefer it if I got a new boyfriend?

I received Hex 39.3.4.5>16

Hi Melissa,
my sense is here that the I Ching is giving you a picture of your current circumstances rather than answering your question directly about your ex's feelings, almost like saying 'this is what you need to be aware of in yourself, because you are the important one here, not him'. I love Lise's take on this:
If the whole world is cold, hostile and frustrating, then it is obvious you are obediently following the paths of the world.
`' Leaving them is frightening; you will be alone, without protection, shelter or comfort.
But if you do leave them, you will find protection, shelter and comfort within yourself, and after a while also around yourself. Make your own shelter and you will find shelter. Make place for friends and you will find friends.
Life is not what life is; life is what you make it. "
you can read the rest here: http://www.yijing.nl/i_ching/hex_33-48/hex_e_39.htm
her interpretation of 16 also fits in this context. Sounds like you need to do what is right for you now, there is support out there waiting for you when you begin to look for it.
Good luck,
E
