Hex 25.1.2.6 > 47

[louie]

I need some help.

I have just stepped out of a exhausting situation/project that had much potential, which did not realise well - not sure if I contributed to this. It leaves me both relieved on the one side, but disappointed because it did not turn out as I had hope. I am not sure if it's something that will present itself again later. I asked Yi how do I manage the conflicting emosions about this and got 25.1.2.6

25-1. The natural man acts naturally. Auspicious/ if you advance. Trust your instincts.
25-2. The natural man plows his field;/ not for the harvest to come,/ but just because it is time. The natural man cultivates his garden/ for three years;/ not for the greater beauty,/ but just because it is in the nature/ of gardens to be cultivated. Improvement/ no matter what you do. If what you wish to undertake is a direct response to your present circumstances, then go ahead. If what you wiah to do is an element in a strategy, if certain desired future results depend on it, then you had better not go ahead with it.
25-6. The natural man is sure to make a mistake/ if he takes action. No improvement. Do not trust your instincts, do not trust any plans or expectations you may have. Keep from doing anything. Lie low.

25.2 and 25.6 seems to clash a bit. Can someone explain this a little better?

What does 47 say ? I am not clear on this one.

Thank you

The hex 47 is your relating hexagram and it shows how you are related to the question you ask, and it says that you are exhausted.

I would like to ask you if you made a good deal of money off this project, so that even if the project's goals were not well realized, perhaps you won't have to think about money for a while? That is one possible meaning of 25.2.

The basic message is that you're weary and not to take on any new projects or even to travel right now.

Thank you Ginnie. The project did not involve money, but it had potential to be very fulfilling and rewarding for me on other levels. I needed to withdraw. Although I don't feel it yet, I am exhausted. Too much planning, strategies, thinking how to make it successfull.
