We get to be born twice; once our mothers give birth to us and bring us to the world -we have little to do with that, we are babies being taken care of. But there's also a second birth: that's when we give birth to our selves . . and we better be strong, and courageous and careful in doing so, cause it can be a long and strenuous birth and we will probably have to handle our very own complications . . .
Thank you all for your responses.
Interesting you mention moving Willowfox, one of the million issues going on is grad school. I want to go do a program in a town an hour away, I want to move and start fresh next fall. But I'm afraid, I don't want to regret leaving everything I know, as painful as some of it is. School is what has changed me, I think, and my partner and I no longer value the same things. I have different ways of looking at the world. It's just so scary. I mentioned I had been asking lots of questions lately, I just can't get it all organized, I can't figure out how I feel or think, there is a lot of self-doubt in my mind. I just want to rest.
But from my own experience the love we need really is a source within us- once you find it you have an unconditional and inexhaustable supply of love and fullfillment. To me this is what hexagram 27 is all about- about where to nourish ourselves...
But your I Ching lines right now say that you must find a wise mentor and follow him or her, because you need instruction.
A possible reading of line 5 could say that but generally I think it is about biding your time and not commiting to a course of action too quickly until you find your own way of nourishing find your own plan of action for "nourishment." It is about rejecting the obvious path and finding your own path. Grad school could be good but I suspect the lines say don't commit yet - sort your life out a bit first. Lucia
That, and so many other gracious and inspiring responses here really resonated deeply with me and I’m delighted to see it seemed to give Saturn some insight and direction as well. I pray she has gotten to safety and peace of mind since posting this original situation.We get to be born twice; once our mothers give birth to us and bring us to the world -we have little to do with that, we are babies being taken care of.
