So I just asked the I Ching 2 Questions. The first question was when would my husband want to come home? The second was would I ever remarry? I got the same answer for both. Hexagon 28. I forget the exact words but it was related to doing so in a position of strength.

Now the is almost creepy. I tried a few different questions but didn't quite understand the meaning to a couple of them.
But, then I asked if my husband and I will find our love for each other again and it gave me Hexagram 25.
Here is what the transformed said. I apologize if ts takes too much space.
Transformed Hexagram:

25 - Twenty-Five
Wu Wang / Remaining Blameless

Thunder rolls beneath Heaven, as is its nature and place:
Sage rulers aligned themselves with the changing seasons, nurturing and guiding their subjects to do the same.

Exceptional Progress if you are mindful to keep out of the way of the natural Flow.
It would be a fatal error to try to alter its course.
This is a time of Being, not Doing.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is thoroughly a matter of the heart.
If everything you attempt, no matter how carefully planned, ends in disarray, then examine your motives.
They are the cause of your predicament.
It isn't that your motives aren't pure -- even the best intentions will fail under these circumstances.
What stymies you in this situation is that you have a motive at all.
Free yourself of all expectations, release any tenuous grip you may have, and roll with it.
This is totally out of your control.
There are higher powers and more elements affecting the outcome of this situation than you can imagine.
Get out of their way.

Amazing!!!

Okay but I just kept re-phrasing the questions until I got the answer I wanted.  I cheat at solitaire.

Very interesting RH. It's the first time I've tried this.Now to make sure I don't become an addict haha.
  CJ lol. I don't think it's meant to work that way. But then again who knows haha.

Don't forget that this works on the principle of synchronicty (meaningful coincidence). It works best when you let the symbolism talk to your unconscious mind and let ideas come up.

If you play with this, you will get playful answers. If you sincerely seek to know, it will help you look within yourself for the wisest answers.

It is better to use it to reflect on the best attitude to take rather than to predict the future.

Why did I not find this before!  It would have solved all my problems.. ...at least answered what I should do in each case.

I think of I Ching as perrennial Self- Help Book.  Whoever came up with was a genius!

My Question...What should be my strategy in next 30 days (as it related to MLC enchilada)?

Here is what I Ching wisdom has to say.

Cast Hexagram:

42 - Forty-Two

I / Expansion

Whirlwinds and Thunder:
When the Superior Person encounters saintly behavior, he adopts it; when he encounters a fault within, he transforms it.

Progress in every endeavor.
You may cross to the far shore.


SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Get ready to ride a tide of accelerated growth toward self-actualization.
A joyful awareness of the best within you, coupled with an acceptance of your Shadow, will provide a greater repertoire, a much bolder vision, and new depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons.

I am thrilled.

The Beauty that I Ching (Yu Jing) is..  (from brief desciption of online version)


Its longevity isn't the only wonder the I Ching holds claim to.
It also possesses the uncanny ability to actually communicate with anyone who chooses to use it.
This is no fortune-telling gimmick -- in fact, the I Ching often frustrates attempts to divine the future from its pages.
This oracle is solely concerned with the present -- YOUR present.

It takes you past the tunnel vision and gives you a 360 degree view of your situation.
It goes beyond the realm of your five senses and picks up the subliminal signals that sailed right past your conscious awareness to become filed away in your subconscious.
When you are obsessed with a desire, intent on an outcome, the I Ching gently nudges you and says, "Yes, but have you considered this ...?"

This classic's ability to accurately gauge a situation probably seemed like a gift from the gods to the sages who discovered it -- and in a sense, it is.
But modern science is progressively removing the layers of superstition from its legend and replacing it with new understanding that is no less magical.
Like all oracles of the ancient world, the I Ching's message is cloaked in ambiguity.
What makes this oracle ingenious, though, is that its symbols spark the universal archetypes embedded within the Collective Unconscious we all share.
The books of C.G. Jung, the father of modern psychoanalysis, shed light on these archetypes -- a subject much too complex to address here.
Read his foreword in Richard Wilhelm's I Ching or Book of Changes (Arkana).
For a quick study, try the entertaining and enlightening writings of Joseph Campbell, for example The Power of Myth.
Another secret of the I Ching's accuracy is its division into 64 sections, representing every situation in life that one might find oneself in.
What is truly brilliant about this classic's formula is that every one of these 64 situations can change into any one of the other 63!
Thus the classic's name, Change.

Thanks, mermaid! I tried the online version and I love it! Question: I didn't save my first few searches and when I lost the answers I asked the same questions again moments later and got different answers! Why is that? And which answer to believe?
