Confusing response Hex. 8

[libra4]

My Query: What if I don't call or text him today?

Hex. 8.1.2.3.4 > 43

Background: I'd texted the man I'm seeing to call me last night, after he finished his work and before he started having drinks with his friends (after work, at the restaurant in which he works). I needed to go to sleep early, and wanted to finalize whether we were getting together tonight, or tomorrow. He did not contact me. I am upset, my inclination is to not reach out to him today - and I received Joining/Holding Together/Union. Hard for me to interpret in this context!

Newbie, btw - be gentle with me!?

TIA

I went back and asked, What are his feelings about me and us right now? 31.5 > 62

Hi Tia,

Gentle, uh, well, not known for being especially gentle, but I'll try.

The first question I ask when receiving h8 is, hold together with whom or what? Now, it seems to me that before I can hold with someone or something else, I first must keep myself together, otherwise how can I hold with others? How can a scattered and fragmented me hold with anyone or anything else. So first, I have to "keep it together" within. Then I become an entity, a whole thing, which may choose to bond with other whole things or whole people. Doesn't mean one necessarily should, but the timing favors it.

It can work in reverse too: where holding with another or other entities help keep our self together. But it's a dangerous thing to base your togetherness upon the others whom you hold with. It's like, don't get lost in the sauce, keep your individuality, don't get absorbed in the togetherness of others. h8 has also to do with borders, or border lords. Each has possession of themselves, and they join for their mutual welfare.

If you look at 43 as your phone/email/text/point to point, whatever, and h8 and lines as "being together", you are more likely to 'hook up' with the other, or others. If you are not holding yourself together, you may have the tendency to drive the other(s) off, or perhaps be too quiet, lacking confidence, therefore too dependent.

In brief summery of your 31-62, I see it as, he's taking it easy in the beginning, but he is interested. When you approach something or someone new, it's good to pay attention to the small things.

Of a more personal observation, that you are Libra. And you may be prone to piling all your eggs into one basket. An egg stays an egg, and doesn't sink into the basket; it takes up space, it has fancy colors, its inviting. It connects with other eggs in a big basket. A cracked or broken egg can't do that. So keep it together.
