If your ex learns that you harmed yourself because of him, his reaction will most likely be fear, avoidance, and a rapid drawing of boundaries; there is little chance of compassion or a desire to reconcile. The core basis for this lies in the Other Line bearing Offspring (which controls the Officer, indicating emotional detachment), and the Primary Hexagram changing from a Six-Clash to a Six-Harmony (suggesting a withdrawal into self-isolation after an initial shock). Furthermore, with the Self Line falling into Void, you are currently trapped in an emotional void; such an action would only push the other person completely away.
The Other's Reaction Leans Toward Fright and Flight, with No Possibility of Reconciliation
Background Analysis
When divining the other party's reaction, the Self Line represents you, and the Other Line represents them. The Self Line bears Wealth Yin Wood and currently falls into Void (its strength is halved; auspicious outcomes turn to nothing when in Void, indicating that you feel extremely empty inside and have lost your emotional anchor and rationality), while being accompanied by the Black Tortoise (indicating confusion, depression, and an inability to think clearly). The Other Line bears Offspring Hai Water and is well-rooted in the daily Qi. The Offspring line is the entity that controls the Officer (representing emotional bonds and attachments). This indicates that once the other party learns of your extreme actions, their first reaction will be fright (the Other Line is accompanied by the White Tiger, which signifies bloodshed and injuries), immediately followed by a strong rejection driven by self-preservation instincts, wanting to quickly escape this heavy emotional entanglement.
The Self Line is Void and the Generation from the Other Line is Obstructed; Self-Destructive Behavior Cannot Earn Compassion
Yong Shen (Focus) Analysis
The Probability of the Other Party Using the Cold Shoulder and Completely Cutting Ties is Extremely High
The Other Line, Hai Water, generates the Self Line, Yin Wood. In principle, this means the other party might still retain a baseline of goodwill or past affection for you. However, the Self Line, Yin Wood, is currently in a state of "Void." In the rules of Liu Yao, when the Other Line generates a Self Line that is Void, it means the other party's goodwill and concern cannot truly materialize, and you are entirely unable to receive it. Furthermore, the second line, Parents Chen Earth, is a Changing Line, transforming into Officer Si Fire (generating back in a continuous cycle), and this Changing Line, Chen Earth, forcefully controls the Self Line, Yin Wood. This indicates that taking extreme actions (Earth controls Water; the White Tiger signifies bloodshed) will not only fail to evoke their guilt or heartache, but will instead trigger their defense mechanisms, causing them to completely shut down emotionally.
You Must Guard Against Real-World Crises Triggered by the Emotional Void
Officer Wu Fire, accompanied by the Vermilion Bird (signifying disputes and turmoil), is hidden in the third line (representing the waist, abdomen, and mental state). Combined with the Self Line being Void and the Black Tortoise (spiritual anguish), extreme self-harm actions will not only fail to achieve your goal, but will also bring substantial physical and psychological damage to yourself, potentially leading to unnecessary practical troubles (such as police or medical intervention).
The Change from Clash to Harmony Indicates the Situation Will Cool Rapidly; Emotional Recovery Must Wait for the Yin or Mao Day
Timing Deduction
The Primary Hexagram is Hexagram 47 — Kun (Oppression) (Dui Metal Palace), representing your current hardship and suffering. Because the Self Line, Yin Wood, is Void, the other party's cold state will persist. The timing for exiting the Void falls on the earthly branches of the Yin or Mao day (roughly corresponding to the third or fourth Gregorian day after the casting of the hexagram). When the Self Line exits the Void—which will be within a few days after the casting (around August 9th to 10th on the Gregorian calendar)—you will gradually regain your rationality and see the truth clearly, and the extreme emotional obsessiveness will naturally weaken.
Action Advice
- Abandon the obsession with using self-harm to test human nature. The Other Line bearing Offspring shows that the other party lacks the capacity to handle extreme emotions; self-destruction will only accelerate their escape. Under no circumstances should you take actions that harm your body.
- Immediately seek professional psychological or medical intervention. The Self Line being Void while being generated by the month and day indicates that there is a practical support system available around you. Filling the inner void through professional help is the right path.
- Shift your focus to your own Health and the rebuilding of your life. Once you exit the Void on a Yin or Mao day and your rationality returns, you will realize that your current emotional predicament (Hexagram 47 — Kun) is merely a temporary psychological maze, and it is not unsolvable.
