How do I deal with jealousy?

How the I Ching Approaches This

The I Ching views jealousy not as a sign of love but as a signal of insecurity and fear of loss. Jealousy arises when your sense of security depends on controlling another person rather than on your own inherent worth. The Oracle helps you see the root of the jealousy — whether it stems from a genuine threat to the relationship, from your own unaddressed insecurities, or from a pattern of possessiveness that undermines the very connection you're trying to protect.

Common Hexagram Patterns

Jealousy questions often draw hexagrams about clarity and self-worth. Hexagram 30 (The Clinging) appears when you need to bring light and clarity to the situation rather than reacting from shadow. Hexagram 61 (Inner Truth) emphasizes connecting with your own sense of worth. Hexagram 36 (Darkening of the Light) suggests that insecurity is clouding your perception. Hexagram 22 (Grace) points to the power of self-possession and dignity over control.
