The ex's new relationship is most likely still ongoing, and the online romance has not ended. In the hexagram, the Officer Shen Metal representing the new relationship receives support from the monthly command of Shen month, is prosperous and strong, and is further generated by the Changing Line Wealth Chen Earth. Although it is attended by Teng She (governing the internet, ambiguity, entanglement), it remains essentially undamaged—so this online relationship still exists at present, though it carries qualities of instability and illusion.
The New Relationship Persists: A Prosperous Officer Generated by Wealth Is the Key Evidence
Background Analysis
The Self Line holds Offspring Wu Fire, representing you. Wu Fire is weak and confined in Shen month, indicating a passive state of mind—largely that of an onlooker. The Other Line holds Parents Zi Water attended by Black Tortoise, representing the other party (the ex). Zi Water falls into Void, showing that her thoughts are currently half-sincere, half-not, and her state is not solid. However, for divining about her new relationship, we look directly at the Officer Shen Metal: Shen Metal is in command and prosperous, sits on the fifth line, and is generated by the activated Wealth Chen Earth on the third line (Wealth generating Officer means the relationship is nourishing it), with no clash or damage anywhere—hence the new relationship exists and is still in progress.
Teng She Attending the Officer: This Relationship Is a Classic Case of Online Ambiguity
Yong Shen (Focus) Analysis
The Officer Shen Metal is attended by Teng She, which governs illusion, entanglement, and online relationships—corresponding closely to an "online romance." This relationship has a real foundation (prosperous and strong), but its underlying tone is insubstantial, with both parties lacking a sense of grounding in reality. The Wealth Chen Earth activates and transforms into Parents Hai Water; Chen Earth is the source generating the Officer, and the resulting Hai Water merges with the day pillar, indicating that the communication and interaction she invests in this relationship are still continuing. However, the Hai Water produced drains Metal Qi, hinting that the relationship's warmth is slowly being depleted—a state of "not yet broken, but leaking air."
The Relationship Survives Through Shen Month; Fatigue Likely Emerges After Deep Autumn
Timing Inference
The Officer Shen Metal is prosperous under the current command, so the relationship will hold steady through the eighth month (Shen month). Entering Xu month (after early October), Metal Qi gradually declines and the support from the Wealth Chen Earth source weakens—this is the window when the relationship cools and its true nature is exposed. The Other Line Zi Water is in Void; it exits Void on the Jia Zi day (around August 18 in the solar calendar), at which point the other party's thoughts will show a noticeable wavering or declaration of position. Watch for developments around that time.
Practical Advice
- If you wish to verify the truth, the other party's state will be most visible around August 18 (when Zi day exits Void)—a suitable window for observation or indirect verification.
- Your own Self Line is weak and confined; avoid actively intervening or confronting. Keeping your distance is actually more favorable for the situation.
- If you are torn about whether to wait: the Teng She Officer is hollow and unsubstantial. This relationship will most likely cool down on its own after October, so there is no need to intervene deliberately.
