I like the readings that FHO has got....  I haven't done this for a while; I wonder if there is a difference if you use a website, or a book?  Will different websites give different info? 

I got the 'stagnation' one as well; can't remember now in response to which question....

T&L, I got basically the same info for the same questions from different websites; I just like the way ifate.com words their responses.  As I stated, I am not really philisophical and the responses on the other site require me to think about it too much - haha!  Let me know if you use ifate and what kind of responses you get.

Hi guys

FHO-I went to ifate.com and asked the same question you did "please advise on the status of my relationship with my husband"...I want to post the answer I got but it won't let me copy and paste.  Any ideas?

CW, I usually highlight the text in the scroll and copy it.  You have to make sure you are on the text when you highlight it.  I ususally have to have 2 windows open at the same time (1 with ifate website and 1 with MLC website).  Let me know if that works.

 My question was about making contact with his son. This is a good reading for a reminder about the MLC process.


A transition from chaos to order is referenced by this hexagram. You have come a long way but the journey is not over. Like a traveler who has traversed a difficult and wide river, you appear to approach your destination. But the river bank is not the final stopping place. The most difficult work is over, but the wise person never stops moving onward in incremental steps. You are entering new territory and it will be smooth going at first. A new relationship or project will get off to the perfect beginning. But stay balanced internally and externally, or else the road ahead could become bumpy.  Completion and beginning are deeply connected. Only one part of your journey is ending.

Ok...I finally got it copied...here is what I got to this question "Please advise on the status of my relationship with my husband"

A transition from chaos to order is referenced by this hexagram. You have come a long way but the journey is not over. Like a traveler who has traversed a difficult and wide river, you appear to approach your destination. But the river bank is not the final stopping place. The most difficult work is over, but the wise person never stops moving onward in incremental steps. You are entering new territory and it will be smooth going at first. A new relationship or project will get off to the perfect beginning. But stay balanced internally and externally, or else the road ahead could become bumpy.  Completion and beginning are deeply connected. Only one part of your journey is ending.

Below is the description of the changing lines:

The changes to line 1 indicate:  "Tail Dipping in Water"- As you cross a wide river, there will be some obstacles that slow you down and cause your "tail" to drag. Keep your focus. Don't let the obstacles distract you from what you sincerely want.

The changes to line 2 indicate:  "Losing One's Veil"- This is a time when you may feel vulnerable and unprotected. This line is a reminder to develop your own inner strength and to get your sense of protection from within your own heart.

The changes to line 3 indicate:  "Employing the Wise"- Gather the strongest team possible. In business, don't hire anyone who you think is unsuitable. In personal life, don't ask an unwise person to assist you.

OK, I bit -- I asked the same question:  please advise on the state of my r with H:

I got: 

Cast Hexagram:

24 - Twenty-Four
Fu / Return

Thunder regenerates deep within Earth's womb:
Sage rulers recognized that the end of Earth's seasonal cycle was also the starting point of a new year and a time for dormancy.
They closed the passes at the Solstice to enforce a rest from commerce and activity.
The ruler himself did not travel.

You have passed this way before but you are not regressing.
This is progress, for the cycle now repeats itself, and this time you are aware that it truly is a cycle.
The return of old familiars is welcome.
You can be as sure of this cycle as you are that seven days bring the start of a new week.
Use this dormancy phase to plan which direction you will grow.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are about to experience a rebirth -- about to be given another chance, a new lease on life.
You have persevered, gone the distance through an entire cycle -- through the Spring of hope or new passion, through a Summer of growth and building, only to be sacrificed like the archetypal Harvest King at the Autumn reaping.
You lie dormant like seed beneath Winter snows now, healing and absorbing new energies in preparation for the new young Spring coming shortly to your life.


No changing lines. 

Now, remembering that this isn't a predictive tool, it is about me in the present, it is confirming that yes, this is another cycle, all part of the process.  I have yet another opportunity to learn how to deal with it all.

"How should I proceed this weekend if my wife comes by?"

Cast Hexagram:
52 - Fifty-Two
Kên / The Mountain

Above this Mountain's summit another more majestic rises:
The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
This is no mistake.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:
There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
Be. Here. Now.

No changing lines so no transformed hexagram.
