Chinese tarot and love

In love, we often seek an answer — “will they come back?”, “is this the one?”. Chinese tarot, the Yi Jing, doesn't answer those: it helps transform them. Rather than predicting the other person, it illuminates how you look at the relationship and the right gesture to make.

Asking the right question

A fortune-telling question (“does he love me?”) gives little to hold. A reflective one opens up: “how do I approach this relationship?”, “what really insists in me?”, “what attitude should I take toward this silence?”. The Yi Jing works far better with those.

The drawn figure doesn't announce the couple's future: it illuminates the present situation and what you can do with it. The relationship stays yours to live.

Figures that speak of bonds

Several hexagrams touch directly on relationships: nascent attraction, the duration of a commitment, the roles in a couple, the misunderstanding that separates, the gradual coming-together. Reading them in relation to your question opens angles often more useful than a closed answer.

A few questions to ask

“What is my part in this tension?”, “What does this relationship need now?”, “What am I still waiting for, and is it right?”, “What first step truly depends on me?”. Questions turned toward you give the reading something to work with.
