Can you please tell me if my love relationship is over?
and received a response of:
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the first hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
The changing lines
The first line:
Withdrawing at the tail of evil.
No use to have a place to go.
The second line:
Hold using yellow ox hide,
but do not declare victory.
The sixth line:
Wealth withdrawn.
Nothing but gain.
43 Decisiveness
The Statement of the second hexagram
Decisiveness. Proclaim in the royal court.
Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:
decisiveness. The noble one
bestows wealth
to those below
and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.
