I Ching » Hexagram 9. Hsiao Ch'u - meaning for relationship


Saturday, September 5, 2009 13:27 PDT

Hi all,
I would appreciate any insight about my reading. I asked whether I would get back/be with a certain person. I got 9, Hsiao Ch'u / The Taming Power of the Small. What does this mean?? Could anyone please help me to understand this reading?
Thanks

I googled this for you. I read a bit of the text on this link: http://onlineclarity.co.uk/answers/2007/01/17/hexagram-9-small-taming/

I suggest that you answer means that you have to be patient like a farmer, letting it grow as you continue to nurture it.

But I suggest the other one needs to be patient aswell then?

There is a tarot card that has this meaning, cant remember wich it is. That card usually advices us to be patient as a farmer who is taking care of his crops.

Thanks for the insight. I've decided to not contact him again for certain reasons (decided this before the reading). It is time for him to come to me. I'm stepping back. Do you think you can still nurture something you're not actually doing anything about. Perhaps, I have planted the seeds necessary (said how I feel) and now I need to step back and let them grow??

Growth is about patience. And yes, I do believe that you can nurture something even if you are not doing anything about it.

Perhaps he will come to you when you wait. In my experience, the more a man feels chased by a woman, the less interest he has in being with her. They dont want anybody to tell them what to do. They dont want to feel that anybody is breathing in their neck saying: "This is what I have decided for you. This is what I want. You must give it to me."

I have a question since you seem to know about tarot. About a month and a half before it was completely over I had my cards read focusing on the relationship.
The first three cards I picked were the following:
Him (the fool)
Us (Two of cups)
Me (Queen of cups).
Then I asked if it was over and I got Ten of swords, bad right??
Then I asked the future of the relationship and got ten of coins.
Then I asked what I need to do and what he needs to do in regards to the relationship
Me (four of swords)
Him (I forget but the person was analyzing some strange fruit, maybe eight of pentacles or soemthing??)
What do you think?

Also, since the I Ching is the most recent reading regarding the matter, is that the one I should pay more attention to?

Him - The Fool: Means that he is not sure about where the road will end.
Us - Two of Cups: Means that you are in love or have a crush in each other
Me - Queen of Cups: Means that you are filled with emotions and feeling soft and feminine towards him - i think that is what it means.

Then the 1st question: Ten of Swords means that the relationship is over.
You then asked about the future: Ten of Cups means that you might get a serious relationship with him in the future where you are living together in a fulfilling family life.
Then you asked about what to do:

Four of swords means that you need to rest to build your self up within, to contemplate and think things through.
I can not guess the card he got.

When you see what you got on the i-ching, you allready probably see the similarities. Your advice was that you needed to rest and contemplate, and the i-ching said that there is a possibility that there will be a relationship between you again, but you have to let it take its time.

The growth that happens inside while you are waiting will determine you future relationship, since both readings advices you to wait while you let the relationship (or you) grow in its own natural pace.

Hi,
Your insight is great. There are a lot of similarities in the two readings!! I feel more confident about my current decision to step back. I am looking for my notes on the reading and I will get back to you. I think the outcome/future of the relationship card may have been the 10 of coins (instead of cups) and I wasn't sure how to interpret how that applied to the future of the relationship. Also, I'm interested to see what you think about the card regarding what he needs to do with the relationship. Thanks for your help. I'll get back to you soon :)

Ok.

Outcome of the relationship/future - 10 of Coins: Means that you might get material safety and security with this relationship. Meaning house, car, moneywise. I guess this means that you can have a good life with this guy, since material security means not only about money, but that your life might be good with this guy.

You did not say what card he got when you asked about what he should do. Although I can explain the 8 of coins: This card is the card about studying, learning something new and hard work. I guess this means that he should make an attempt to make this relationship work.

Since he is not quite sure where the road is going, like the Fool, then that might explain the advice he got. It means that he should start to give attention and take this relationship seriously.

The advice that you got was non-action - just that you rest, contemplate and think things through. So just you do that.

Guys never like to be called and called and called as if once was not enough. In the guys world this means that you dont respect him. They always think first about respect/status and secondly about the rest. Roughly spoken. If he does not want contact with you at the moment, because he is not sure about what is best, then let him know that you respect his choice, Strangely enough, guys seem to appreciate that immencely. Respect, respect, respect. They think a lot differently.

Wish you the best. Relax and dont worry. Pray and make your wish. It might come true. And it might not. But you dont need to do anything about this at the moment. Perhaps later?

Hi,
So I'm going to keep looking for the info, but for now I am pretty sure the future card was Ten of Coins/pentacles (not sure if 10 of cups is interchangeable or if you misread my post?). I do remember being confused about how to apply this card to the future of a relationship b/c it seemed to apply to finances. The picture of the card was a line of evolution?!?!? Not sure if that helps.
Thanks
