The
abstract images of the I Ching Oracle (usually
called "hexagrams") symbolize all of

In the following excerpts from actual Psychic Readings, the images of the I Ching

Coming to Meet
In the
Judgment verse associated with Coming to Meet,
the oracle says, “The maiden is powerful.
One should not marry such a maiden.”
Basically, this judgment refers to the fact that
A. is not really suited for you in a relationship
of marriage. Indeed, he would have to subdue your
better judgment and instinct to lead you into
marriage. Yet, I have a feeling that he is more
than willing to try to make that effort. He has
probably demonstrated this to you already by the
way in which he has courted you, for I feel that
he is very much enchanted by you, and would like
to overcome your resistance if he possibly can.
But the
oracle warns you about giving in to any such
pressure, coming from him or from whatever other
angle that tries to move you in that direction.
For example, in the first of the verses that has
been highlighted specifically by today’s
Reading from the image of Coming to Meet, the
oracle says, “There is no skin on her
thighs, and walking comes hard. If one is mindful
of the danger, no great mistake is made.”
Superficially, you are in a weak position with
regard to this question. There is nothing much
that you can say in defense of your reticence
with A. that would convince either him or the
people around you. People will try to push you,
and scare you, into going against your better
judgment. Simply be ever mindful of the dangers
of an unhappy marriage. Then you won’t make
any mistake.
In
another of the verses that has been highlighted
specifically by today’s Reading from the
image of Coming to Meet, the oracle says,
“No fish in the tank. This leads to
misfortune.” Just remember that, so far as
marriage is concerned, “there is no there
there,” as Gertrude Stein once said.
Marriage between you and A. would be an empty
formality in the end.
And in
the third of the verses that has been highlighted
specifically by today’s Reading from the
image of Coming to Meet, the oracle says, “A
melon covered with willow leaves. Hidden lines.
Then it drops down to one from heaven.” This
is one of my favorite verses in the I Ching
Oracle. This verse tells you to trust in your
destiny. Quite naturally, without your having to
do anything in particular, you will easily and
without effort, indeed innocently, meet the RIGHT
person with whom you can confidently enter into
marriage. That person is NOT A. Marriages are
made in heaven. We can’t will them into
happiness and fulfillment just because a parent,
for example, or some friend may have told us that
it was a good match. Let things develop
naturally. Don’t force marriage, and it
won’t force you to be disappointed and
disillusioned. Maintain your innocence, and
listen to your own inner wisdom, trust your
intuition, and act accordingly. Then you will
come infallibly to good fortune.
