Yes 57.5 to 18

[River1980]

I asked yi a timeframe question. I asked when would I meet a particular person? I got hex 57.5 to 18.

I don't understand about this 3 days before and after issue. Please can anyone give me insights.

What does the corruption mean. Does this mean some kind of obstacle. Please help.

who is the particular person?

I think the three refers to a timeframe that is not immediate but neither too long, so it wont happen straight away. 57.5 > 18 as a whole seems to be saying there are issues to be cleared up first before meeting this person is possible. And give time either side of clearing up. Now that is my non expert, intuitive approach opinion. Line 5 says it will end favourably. The translation says the 3 days are before and after 庚

庚
gēng
age
seventh of the ten Heavenly Stems 十天干[shi2 tian1 gan1]
seventh in order
letter "G" or roman "VII" in list "A, B, C", or "I, II, III" etc
ancient Chinese compass point: 255°
hepta

Placing that to the cycle of the 7 day week used by most that it has something to do with three days before Sunday and three days afterwards. Sunday's are a good day for meditation, a very 57 way of 18'ing

You can get super technical with timing in yi readings, I don't have that kind of mind but there are some truly valuable posts which explain how you do it:

I also remember a couple of threads where users gave their experience of what three days mean, but don't know where they are on here. Did you do a hexagram search on 57.5?

I'll add that the 255 degree of the zodiac is 15 degree Capricorn, mercury the messenger was at 15 degree Capricorn yesterday (from where I am in the world) probably close to when you posted your reading. It would be super cool if you met this person in three days. Or something literally mercurial, like a text, email etc.

a very creative association I'm making there

Thank you chingching for your response. The person I am asking about meeting is an old flame. Thank you for the links and the suggestion to do a hexagram search. I will do that and check out the links. I do hope it is as soon as you say is possible.
