Help, hex.2.2, 47.5 and 63.4

[indigo]

Hello there! I'm not really that new around here, I've been lurking in the shadows for quite some time and finally decided to join. And I'm sorry to already come asking for help

My life has been quite tiring this last months (so bad, lord know i keep saying I'm too young to be feeling this old) I feel a lot like sisyphus rolling a boulder only to do it all again and again as time passes. I first asked the iching:


why so many misfortunes permeate my life? (sounds like woe is me :bag: but I thought that if I knew the source of problem I could fix it right?)

I got hex.2 with moving line 2. I pretty much went

Then I asked;

What is my life's purpose? (Ask what life wants from you i guess)

I got hex. 47. line 5 This is an inauspicious hexagram and a bad line. So my purpose is to live with no help and move about isolated and opressed?

Finally, I asked in the last of hopes:

What can I do to improve my life?

Got hex.63 line 4. So I'll guess maybe to be thankful for whatever I do have? And take care of it carefully?

I really apreaciate any help given
Good day to all

Why do so many misfortunes permeate my life?
.2.2 > 7

Welcome to Clarity, Indigo. Hex 2 is the hexagram of service. Since you are having problems in this area, it suggests that you are trying too hard to take care of others. After giving too much, you them have to fight for justice (7). Really, often the best you can do is to stand back and let them learn from experience. I think if you were to draw some lines you would have a happier life.

Because you let it? Lise says "One accomplishes what one is or lives, not what one does." Source of the problem is inside, the base, the Earth of you.

Then I asked;

I got hex. 47. line 5 This is an inauspicious hexagram and a bad line. So my purpose is to live with no help and move about isolated and opressed?

It's not such a bad line. It talks (I think) of life where no help from outside is available but little by little the subject of the line finds joy (by believing in his higher purpose)

Finally, I asked in the last of hopes:

What can I do to improve my life?

Got hex.63 line 4. So I'll guess maybe to be thankful for whatever I do have? And take care of it carefully?

I think 63.4 counsels to observe your world carefully and even when things seem like they are fine, have a good look, so that you can protect yourself from hidden harm (not sure if I'm interpreting this right, mind you) Again, I like Lise's take on this line:
"Short term solutions can be great for just that: short term. If you don’t replace them with lasting ones you can trust upon, they will keep you busy, and in the end cost much more time and effort than solving it once and for all in a good way."


It all sounds like to me like you need some rather major personal overhaul, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally.. I also had a really really tough year and it seemed like I was going to drown under all the crap that kept happening but somehow, I just kept going and eventually things eased off a bit. Drama goes up and comes down, but if we maintain a calm core, then we can get through anything. This would probably be a counsel to anyone for any question tbh

Don't feel bad. I've been drawing 29 all day for all sorts of different questions. I have a choice now - either I cower in fear from the big danger, or I adapt and flow like water around any obstacles..

I think the yi seems to answer questions like "what is my Life's purpose" with an immediate response, such as 'this is your purpose NOW' .....fulfilling your purpose is a Now experience anyway.

but interesting that you got 2.2 for why you have misfortune. It could be that you allow it, as Graces says, but since 2.2 is the doing without doing line, maybe it is because that is your function now. everytime someone 'takes on' a misfortune and overcomes it, the whole race benefits by virtue of consciousness. and that kinda fits with a life purpose of 47.5....iow, you agreed to take on adversity which slows you up quite a bit, but you also agreed to choose your responses to it which ensures you get past the adversity and arrive victorious at your goals. 47 almost always implies that we have choice about responses.

and 63.4 could be saying that until you fulfill this segment of your purpose, you must be watchful.

I see this as a heroic journey. but also, not as a lifetime "sentence", just being who you are for now because you are needed.

Thank you all for the reply

hex.2 line 2 in my view seems a lot like saying something just is.Some translate it as "Straight, Square, Great. Without purpose" So from this translation it comes a lot like there is no purpose to this misfortunes. Yet it also says nothing is unfurthered. This line confuses me quite a bit.

But what you (precision grace) said about it being about the core makes sense. I had at other times gotten hex.18 as advice. I think that a lot of this misfortunes might also be linked to my inner core being corrupted by certain moments of my life. So now I'm attracting back the established pattern. I hope I can hold on and have a better time in the future and try and change this pattern. Like pocossin said establishing boundaries.

I still think hex.47.5 is just grim though. It already reflects what im going through as well. Feeling isolated.

It's pretty interesting the interpretation of things following a larger scale, bamboo. If you take this choices that can be done conciously or uncounciosly, to be connected with karma it makes sense too. Yet, now here in this plane all I can think of is wow how silly,silly of me to choose such a thing.


Thank you all again for the help I really apreciate it
