What to do to improve my life? 23.1 > 27

[cris]

Admittedly asked in a phase of moderate anxiety / depression. I guess Saturn in Scorpio is catching up with me once again... and he'll be there till Sep 2015 to then move to Sagittarius and keep bugging me from that sign!

Astrology aside, what to do of this ominous casting?

Line 1
‘Stripping away the bed by way of its supports.
To disregard constancy: pitfall.’

Does this mean: there's nothing to do? Or, on the reverse, this is the moment to change the foundation of my life which appears unstable and unreliable?

Thanks for any insight :bows:

23 can be about stripping away the outmoded layers of conditioning and what we consider to be essential parts of our existence, which are often the opposite. So, with 27 as the background this might be signalling the idea that you must re-evaluate your sources of nourishment; what you desire, what you think you need and how this shapes your reality. This process can often be difficult, even very challenging but ultimately takes you to a whole new place. You have an inner knowing of what is needed so don't let them run away with you so that you end up driven by fear and anticipation.

(Saturn is the great teacher and often gets a bum rap from some folks. He's only as harsh as he needs to be. How hard we hit our heads against his karmic wall is up to us).

Hilary's commentary on this is useful too. Have you done quite a few readings before this? If so: "Discard constancy/ discard the divination. Can be a direct reminder that a previous reading still applies. Don’t discard the reading (and start another one) just because there’s no external feedback to confirm it."

I'd also ask a follow-up question to focus in on the exact issues. Perhaps one question could be: "What is the most important thing I need to know in order to improve my life ?

Good luck!

When you are in this state, I'm wondering if there are some underlying assumptions you rest upon, that you believe without examination, which are false and need to be stripped away. If this is true, you may be able to identify them by noticing whether or not there are "always" or "never" thoughts going through your mind. "I always do xxx" or "He never does xxx" or "I'll never be able to xxx" or something along that order. "Always" and "never" thoughts are (almost) always suspect.

What to do to improve my life?
23.1 > 27

Grow something you can eat, if only in a pot or window box. It will connect you to the vitalities of nature. If you are unhappy, it is because you are being deprived of the simple pleasures of life.

What if you didn't need to improve anything? what if you could let go of that outcome and accept things just as they are?

What you resist, persists. What you allow to be, disappears.

Thank you all for your kind insights. It's always great to have diverse interpretations, and they all ring a bell. Need some time to mull over them - and my own thoughts and feelings - before responding.

Hello friend:
According to the translation in my book, the codeof Hex 23.1 is "the base of a bed is being peeled off, if you ignore this sign of danger, you will have ill luck." And Hex 27 stands for "healthy eating"(because the image of the hexagram looks like a human's opening mouth). The hex code of Hex 27 is "Observe other people eating, and try to obtain suitable food by yourself."
I think the result shows that you are just starting a unhealthy lifestyle, which will impair your health. So I Ching suggests you that you should eat healthy food come back to a healthy lifestyle. The answer is very clear!
Good luck to you!
