9. Minor Restraint
Line 2:
Being pulled back.
Good fortune.
Being forced by the circumstances to go back. This is not much of a problem, things go well.
Line 6:
It has already rained, it has already settled,
value and virtue are received.
The wife's persistence is dangerous.
The moon is nearly full.
The noble one's expedition has misfortune.
One already has accumulated what one needs. Pressing for more at the last moment is unnecessary and dangerous.
Hexagram is changing to:
63. Already Across
Already across.
Progressing.
Little benefit in persisting.
At first good fortune,
eventually disorder.
The situation is ready, so there is no need for putting yet more energy into it. Things are still progressing. Initially things go well. But there isn't a goal to work to any more, so one will become a bit scattered if no new goal is taken up.
what truth are my feelings pointing to
47 uc
That you're trapped.
where can I find a source of money in my circumstances?
received 50 uc
In cooking? In any case, there's no quick money to be had, aim for something that can be built upon slowly.
where do I need to make the cut?
9.2.6 > 63
She has you on a leash (9.2), keeps you with sex and makes you believe that if you leave it will be a misfortune (9.6). This needs to end (63).
You're unhappy and fearful with her, and have been for a while. Treasure your own life and happiness, the situation doesn't sound worthwhile.
Seems to be that we serve a higher purpose in each other's lives, not necessarily happiness but a sort of spiritual development.12. Obstruction
Line 4:
Having a higher purpose.
Without fault,
but it is a category separate from happiness.
Working on something that's important to you, perhaps regarding your personal or spiritual development. There is nothing wrong with that. It is no pleasure to go through this development, but it really needs to be worked with.
Water over fire: the image of the condition

Takes thoughts of misfortune
And arms himself against it in advance.
I appreciate your perspective."cutting" connection with X, my tenuous relationship with family/mother, or my workplace, as all three have been causing distress
The relationship that our parents have created with us fundamentally influences all our other relationships, especially with our partner, and with figures of authority (work). So it's very possible that your reading was referring to your relationship with your mother. Once you manage to metaphorically cut the umbilical cord and become an adult, strong and secure in yourself, you'll then manage to not allow yourself into situations which are causing you distress because others are stepping on you. Or, if you involuntarity find yourself in such situations (e.g. work), to handle them better.
did I have a hand in spoiling it? yes, of course
In my opinion, no, you didn't. The adult is fully responsible on what type of relationship they form with their children - from the moment the children are born. A child cannot be held responsible for that because they can only go along with whatever the parents impose.
what can be done about this situation with my mother 18.1.6 > 11
I agree with your interpretation, nothing much can be done. You can't change the way she thinks, so, no point in arguing with her. Take her off the position of authority in your life. Walk away from her 'authority'. Accept that this is who she is, and pay no further attention in wanting to change her. This is easier said than done. It's not an instantaneous achievement, as this is about changing your whole childhood mind programming. But it's absolutely doable with sustained effort.
