What Is Hexagram 3 I Ching For Love?

It’s time to make an attempt. An actual attempt at making the best out of your relationship/marriage. If your romantic relationships have always been wobbly and full of uncertainty, now is the time to make things right by showing sincerity to your partner. 

Entertainment and cherishing temporary moments of pleasure is great but you’ll have to make the terms of your relationships more legitimate through effective communication and honesty. You won’t be able to sustain the constant episodes of love and detachment for long. Start opening up with your current partner and express your desire to get into a serious long-term relationship that has boundaries, mutual respect, and an element of longevity. i ching hexagram 3 Oracle of Love

Messages From The Lines Of Hexagram 3

Line 1:

You’re facing the challenges you knew were coming your way. Yet, you didn’t prepare. Feelings of helplessness and misery are common as you long to find a practical solution to the situation. Times are starting to get very dark and a cloud of desperation is lingering over you.

In such a situation, do not hesitate to reach out for help. You might think you know where things are headed but it’s really just guesswork. If possible, try connecting with a mentor or an elder who’s faced a situation similar to yours before. There’s no shame in admitting you’re stuck. 

Line 2: 

A surprise is awaiting you. Not a literal physical one but rather an occurrence you didn’t expect. 

Someone you deeply hate and detest might turn out to be a friend in disguise. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly life and its little aspects can turn around. During this time period, a lot of new friends, relationships, financial opportunities, and revelations will come your way. Be gentle and welcome every new change with optimism. 

Line 3: 

Know when to stop and back off. You’ve been putting unnecessary effort into something for way too long with no results or progress to back it up. It’s time you realize that whatever you’re doing is clearly not working for you. Maybe switch up your approach, seek applicable advice, or just move on to something entirely different. 

Line 4: 

An unusual opportunity is forthcoming and it’s likely going to challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. You will have to give up on things and activities you love and the sacrifice will almost seem too major to be worth it. 

The choice will be yours and ultimately you’re going to decide if the leap is worth it or not. Remember, just because something is out of your comfort zone does not mean it’s bad. Consider all factors like your gut feeling, logic, and past experience before making your final call. 

Line 5:

Others may seek favors from you every day and night. It’s time you start saying no to them and give priority to the tasks at hand. Dropping your pile of work just because others need your help is not the way to go right now. Narrow down your perspective and only focus on what you have to do. 

You may appear to be selfish and self-centered to others but you’ll need to turn a blind eye to their judgment for a while. It’s the only way you can limit unnecessary stress and freely discover your place in this world. 

Line 6:

You’ve recently entered a new relationship and things already seem to be getting quite messy. You’re growing impatient by the minute and not allowing the initial stage of the relationship to run its full course. It’s like wanting to reach the finish line before the race even begins. 

Patience and persistence is a must if you want to save your relationship from drowning right now. It’s easy to be a little too pushy in the beginning stages, so let your partner have a say in things and at least attempt to deal with obstacles together. For a lot of relationships, the beginning is usually the toughest but, with adequate time, like-minded thinking and genuine companionship soon follow.
