The abstract images of the I Ching Oracle (usually called "hexagrams") symbolize all of the related and interacting aspects of reality. In the following excerpts from actual Psychic Readings, the images of the I Ching are discussed.

Retreat

In short, the Emperor appears as a sign of the need for absolutely objective self-control. Emotions of the heart are not the best guide in this situation. This is echoed for us in the image of Retreat, which we have drawn for you on this question from the Chinese oracle. Getting back to what we said about the relevance of caution, we would quote the first verse that is highlighted specifically for you by this Reading (there are two such verses in this particular image): “At the tail in retreat. This is dangerous. One must not wish to undertake anything.” This, of course, underlines our sense that no attempt should be made to turn this relationship into a committed marriage bond. But it also implies that something is amiss in the fact that this is not realized early on in the relationship. This leads inevitably into areas of conflict, at least within you.

Hesitation and lack of firm judgment may afflict you. The second verse says, “A halted retreat is nerve-wracking and dangerous. To retain people as men and maidservants brings good fortune.” The reference to men and maidservants actually conforms to what we said about the possibility of establishing this relationship on the basis of friendship instead of romantic intimacy. But the main point is that you are being alerted to the fact that uncertainty and doubt will tend to plague you about this. Realize, that sometimes it is best to allow something NOT to move forward. Time has a way of making us see things differently even if we don’t know what has changed.
