How do I know if I'm in love?

How the I Ching Approaches This

The I Ching views love not as a dramatic emotion but as a deep alignment that reveals itself through consistent patterns over time. Infatuation is intense but volatile; genuine love is both profound and enduring, expressing itself not just in grand gestures but in the steady willingness to show up, to be known, and to know another person deeply. The Oracle helps you distinguish between the excitement of new attraction, the comfort of familiarity, and the depth of genuine love that transforms both people.

Hexagram 61 (Inner Truth) suggests trusting the quiet knowing within you. Hexagram 58 (The Joyous) points to the joy and ease that characterize genuine love.
