Deepening context
Frequently asked questions
Should I have the conversation?
The I Ching does not decide that, but it weighs what the conversation would do. Hexagram 6, Conflict, warns against pushing on where the relationship cannot carry it; hexagram 43, Breakthrough, points at the moment something has to be said. A throw shows which is at play.
What does the I Ching say about conflict?
Conflict is rarely a fight to be won in the I Ching. Hexagram 6 carries that name and looks at the source of the tension rather than at the winner. The oracle seldom counsels pushing hard here; it asks instead where the difference comes from.
How do I avoid a fight?
Avoiding a fight starts with making the difference visible before it sets. Hexagram 38, Opposition, shows forces pointing away from each other that can still carry something together. A throw can show whether your situation is such a difference or something sharper.
