Current Life Situation and Moving Forward 19 and 19.1.5>29

[settan3579]

Hello,

I asked the I ching two questions today. Recently having reached a critical point of clarity in a relationship dynamic and choosing to do what is best for me right now has been good and difficult in a variety of ways. Being young and turning 24 in a few weeks, I am finding myself pondering where my life is going after sort of getting "off track" for the past several months. It feels like it is again a time to really cultivate my spiritual practice, deepen important bonds, and allow myself to express the strong and wise heart that all humans possess at their core.

I am, however, feeling stuck in making progress. So I again asked the I Ching two questions.
The first was: "What is my current life situation?" hoping to gain a broad overview of where I was in my life. It responded with hexagram 19 unchanging, which to me indicated that it is a time when things will go well, though I should be mindful that there will likely be opportunities to fall off track again.


I then asked: "How can I move forward in a wholesome, kind, strong, wise, and loving manner?" hoping to get some specifics about actions to take in my current circumstances. It responded with hexagram 19, lines 1 and 5 changing to hexagram 29.

Perhaps it is advising me to be aware of the turbulence of my inner world right now, but that overall I am working towards good things if I remain mindful of the need to persevere and make sure I spend time with the right people. This all seems to make sense, though hexagram 29 does generally make me concerned or at least question things.

Does anyone have thoughts or experiences that may be helpful here?

Your current life situation is awaiting the arrival of the New. To become unstuck you must first go through a period of stuck. Unstuckness is hurtling it's way towards you as effectively as it can.

19 <> 29
'Approaching' through 'Darkness'

Right now imagine you are living in a house that needs some renovation. You have to show yourself how to engage with some new skill sets to achieve the re-building of your dream house. Moving forward, initially, the learning period is going to be pretty difficult for you. Just beyond the horizon, though, there is a bright sun rise waiting to greet you.

19.1 - Follow your dream even through your tears,
19.5 - Keep following the New and your growing wisdom. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Stay strong and centred.

... or there may be other meanings for you.

Good Luck

19 is taking charge in Bradford's words.

19.1 and 19.5 both talk about commitment to do what you want. You should persevere.
