[Mermaid]

yup!

[stillhere]

I wanted to share this with all of you because it indicated to me that coming to this forum is a good thing to do and was dead-on considering his MLC.

I asked last night "How should I act towards my husband tomorrow?"  He will be stopping by today. 
Cast Hexagram 22 was the answer.

Cast Hexagram:

22 - Twenty-Two
Pi / Grace

Fire illuminates the base of the Mountain:
The Superior Person realizes he has not the wisdom to move the course of the world, except by attending to each day's affairs as they come.

Success in small matters.
This is a good time to begin something.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The emphasis now is on form, not function -- on the sizzle and not the steak.
The environment around you is not one of depth, and you are appreciated now for your image, not your essence.
You perfectly fill a role, and no one is seeing the genuine you.
Still, you are being listened to and watched.
Use this influence to further your goals as much as possible.
Even if you don't feel understood, you can perhaps connect with a few isolated hearts.
Relax and enjoy the attention.

And

Transformed Hexagram:

26 - Twenty-Six
Ta Ch'u / Recharging Power

Heaven's motherlode waits within the Mountain:
The Superior Person mines deep into history's wealth of wisdom and deeds, charging his character with timeless strength.

Persevere.
Drawing sustenance from these sources creates good fortune.
Then you may cross to the far shore.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

There are important precedents in this situation.
Others have trodden this Path before you, overcoming the same obstacles facing you now, and making crucial decisions at the same crossroads.
Study their journals, watch for their trail markings.
Gain inspiration and wisdom from the heroes and learn from the mistakes of those who chose a sidepath.
All were Seekers, explorers whose daring mapped a course you can follow.
The words and deeds of the finest can imbue you with the courage necessary to face what lies before you.

The above told me that I need to keep coming here for advice and learning.  I also need to maintain my strengths. 

[Mermaid]

SH, I've had this hexagram many times since starting on the forum. Coincidence? And it's good advice.

[StillStanding]

Question: What attitude would be best for maintaining detachment and calm right now?

Cast Hexagram:
46 - Forty-Six
Shêng / Upward Mobility

Beneath the Soil, the Seedling pushes upward toward the light:
To preserve his integrity, the Superior Person contents himself with small gains that eventually lead to great accomplishment.

Supreme Success.
Have no doubts.
Seek guidance from someone you respect.
A constant move toward greater clarity will bring reward.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:
You are progressing, rising inch-by-inch toward certain success.
What makes this assured is your refusal to tilt headlong toward your goal, slamming into obstacles and going mad with frustration.
You have a clear map before you of the steps necessary to reach your objective.
With faithful patience and a careful conservation of personal energy and resources, you will run this long, slow distance.

Changing Lines:
There is One Changing Line.
Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Four:
The king continues to faithfully climb Mount Chi and make humble offering.

Transformed Hexagram:
32 - Thirty-Two
Hêng / Durability

Arousing Thunder and penetrating Wind.
Close companions in any storm:
The Superior Person possesses a resiliency and durability that lets him remain firmly and faithfully on course.

Such constancy deserves success.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Endurance is the key to success in this situation.
However, durability is not synonymous with stone-like rigidity.
True resilience requires a flexibility that allows adaptation to any adverse condition, while still remaining true to the core.
Can you maintain your integrity under any circumstance?
Can you influence the situation without giving opposing forces anything to resist?
Then you will endure to reach your goal.

Here is my latest I Ching reading:

Please advise how I should act towards my husband now

 The present is embodied in Hexagram 24 - Fu (Turning Point): There will be a free course and progress. He finds no one to distress him in his exits and entrances. Friends come to him, and no error is committed. He will return and repeat his proper course. In seven days comes his return. There will be advantage in whatever direction movement is made.

 The first (bottommost) line, undivided, shows its subject returning from an error of no great extent, which would not proceed to anything requiring repentance. There will be great good fortune.

 The second line, divided, shows the admirable return of its subject. There will be good fortune.
 The third line, divided, shows one who has made repeated returns. The position is perilous, but there will be no error.
 The fourth line, divided, shows its subject moving right in the centre among those represented by the other divided lines, and yet returning alone to his proper path.

 The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.

 The future is embodied in Hexagram 32 - Heng (Duration): Successful progress and no error is indicated, but the advantage will come from being firm and correct. Any movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.

 The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action.

 The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to penetration and following.

Ive been doing the I Ching: Dont know hoe to move it over here. But I got Hexagram 53 today. Can anyone tell me what ( The maiden is given in marriage means? ) I have gotten this several times.

Thanks!  ((( HUGS )))

[Mermaid]

It means you are probably too anxious to get to a quick solution. It's telling you to be patient, go slow, not to be anxious. Pay attention to the smaller details in life, and learn from them.

[hurt01]

Thank you Mermaid. I NEVER would have gotten that from it. I really dont understand the I Ching: Maybe I just need to leave it alone. It really confuses me. Heck I was wondering who was getting married. LOL.

Again Thank You!
