X's role in my life? 30.1 and 56.

[elizabeth]

There is a children's book I recall from my own childhood, called "Are you my mother?"the story of a little bird who gets lost and asks every animal in the forest if it is its mother. He doesnt yet know how to recognize her.

My questions to the Yi bear a resemblance because usually I'm asking what someone's role is, why they have suddenly appeared. This is that sort of question too. A man just appeared in my life. We've met only once but have a friendship of sorts. I would personally like much more.

Q: Show me a picture of X's role in my life.
A: 30.1 and 56.

He is a radiant flame but a wanderer, just passing through. Is that correct? What is the symbol of the cow? Or is the Yi flipping this around and saying I am the flame? Does this imply unreliable, a fire that flicker and then burn out without warning?

Q: What does he most want from me now?
A: 34.4 Power of the Great -> 11 Peace.

Line 4 = Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. The hedge opens; there is no entanglement. Power depends upon the axle of a big cart.

"Righteous persistence is duly rewarded" -- persistence, in what?

Q: What does marriage mean to X?
(out of curiosity, wanted to know what he is looking for now)
A: 28.1.5 and 34

line 1: To spread white rushes underneath. No blame.
line 5: A withered poplar puts forth flowers. An older woman takes a husband. No blame. No praise.

(having trouble with these two lines)

Image of 34: Thunder in heaven above: The image of The Power of the Great.
Thus the superior man does not tread upon paths That do not accord with established order.

He would want a traditional, ordered marriage, or sees it in a traditional way?


Many thanks in advance for any input on these readings.

Hi elizabeth,

Q: Show me a picture of X's role in my life. A: 30.1 and 56.
It sounds like his role in your life has not been clarified yet. Either he
is confused, or the situation is confusing, there is no clarity for now.

Q: What does he most want from me now? A: 34.4 -> 11 Peace.
Obviously there are some real obstacles between you two, but by the
sound of this he's probably determined to slowly work on them. And/or
you should also persevere quietly, to slowly help remove them. The
message is not to give up, but keep on working on it 'quietly' and
steadily. So he probably wants you to be patient and not take any
drastic action.

Q: What does marriage mean to X? A: 28.1.5 and 34
28:1 is either telling you to leave such heavy questions for now, and/
or that he has a burden he needs to slowly let down first. Line 28:5
says "no blame, no praise", so perhaps he's fine with the notion of
marriage, but perhaps not crazy about it either. 34, big and strong,
it seems he would be fine with it, when the timing is right.

The general theme seems to be one of slowing down, and taking things
really easily slowly and softly. 30:1 may also be speaking directly to you,
as you don't know him well at all yet, so you'll need to get to know him
a lot better before you form an opinion yourself. Perhaps then the
perseverance is meant in this manner, persevere in observing him,
in slowly getting to know him a lot better.

Hi Diamanda,

Good to "see" you again.

Interesting reading - take it slowly. I was expecting something more negative like "dont waste your time" or "he is not for you". So from that perspective, this is a positive interpretation.

When I asked about marriage, I meant how he sees it generally, not specifically with me. He's an older man (not in his 20s or 30s) so that is why I asked. He also seems to be pursuing someone who is after his money and foreign citizenship -- that's why I wondered what his view on marriage is. Unfortunatley I'm not in a position to ask him about this myself, or I would!

Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate it and will take the advice.

Best,
E.
