Like-minded connecting Hex 25.1.5>35

[goddessliss]

Good morning,

Recently I moved away from a place I'd been living for 12 years where I felt very connected for a long time but then in recent years have no longer felt that connection. I moved in the hope I would find the connection I've been craving deep within. To clarify I feel very connected to self in the spiritual sense but at the same time I feel something is definitely missing in my life and that is mostly a connection within a close relationship, not necessarily an intimate one.
I'm living with my son and his young family who are very Christian, which I am not and whilst that doesn't present any problems it doesn't allow me to be as open as I would like nor have the same outlook on life. ei. they are quite structured in their views whereas I'm more live and let live - or try to be as much as I'm consciously aware.
I got a job very quickly but the women I work with are at a different stage in their life to me and I've also joined a gym where the same thing is happening.
My thought process when asking the question was - would joining a class, a club etc. help me to find like-minded people

Please show me how I can find like-minded people I can connect with

Hex 25.1.5>35

I find this to say keep connecting to self and things will come about of their own accord.

Thanks Liss

I agree with you about your interpretation of 25.1.5. It does seem to say that you are fine just being yourself and that the feelings of alienation will pass on their own. Still, that doesn't seem to be much help. I wonder if the IC is pointing out that you need to be where you CAN be yourself - that is, perhaps living with your Christian kid is restricting you more than you realize? You don't need their 25.5 medication? So maybe joining some sort of group that resonates with your own spiritual path?

best wishes,
Rosada

I saw it as saying you must be aware of opportunities, ie invitations etc and take them (hex 35) but you don't really need to try too hard (25.1.5)

The yang change pattern here is hex 3 so it's all up in the air and not yet formed. The yin change pattern is 50....things take time to cook.

I also see 25 as those unexpected things in life that turn up. Actually I really like this reading as an answer to the question. As a sentence it might be 'unexpected progress' or the other way around 'progress with insouciance'.....like you don't care too much.

In practical terms this would mean that if you hear of some event/invitation/ that you'd normally pass up, be playful and in the spirit of adventure and serendipity (and 25 has to cover serendipity) just go.

There is potential in the situation for you to get where you want to go or you wouldn't have cast 35 as relating hexagram. However doesn't look like you can make it happen by too much effort. Things take time to cook, so do relationships in a new place.

So stay relaxed but open..

Also 35 is all about being popular, the star of the show.....there is potential to be in demand here, so no need to try too hard or imagine you are at a disadvantage. You aren't. I also wonder, even without trying too hard you might aim higher.

Possibly many of recent events have been lowering to your self esteem. I feel this cast suggests getting it back. In 35 you are being offered horses, opportunites to progress. I wondered if, even though it's a new job there may shortly be an opportunity for promotion. Taking these opportunities (35) can naturally take you (25) where you want to be.

Hi trojan and Rosada - thank you both of your interpretations make a lot of sense to me. I'm being as open as I can be and looking up social groups in the area on a website called Meet Ups - do you have it where you live?
Well trojan the people I work for have been very keen for me to know I'm very wanted as an employee since my interview and have assured me as soon as there is more work to be had they will be offering it to me. Also my place of work is one where I could be offered work by others so you could well be right in regards to opportunities for promotion. The bosses and the job, incidentally have given my self esteem a huge boost after all those 'bloody' recent events. There is another of my threads that you posted on trojan where your interpretation of my readings said this sort of thing would be happening.

I think Rosada has been proved to be right - the more time that goes on the more I realise I cannot be myself living here and of course that means I'm stifling my truth a lot of the time which can't be good. Since I arrived in Sydney I've done 6 readings with another one booked in for next week but I daren't mention it to the Christian folk. I even did one in the home yesterday when they were out and fortunately she left but 5 minutes before they got home but still to me it's stupid. I now understand why kids stop telling their parents stuff - it's just easier not to go through the angst!

Is there the slightest possibility of getting your own apartment (with or without roommates), or even renting a room in a home that doesn't belong to your kids?

I can see how living in the same house with people whose basic outlook is in conflict with yours - and to whom you are related - would be a problem.

Doing something like that would fit with the reading - "disentangling" from your children.

Am a bit hesitant to mention this - the fact that you haven't done it already might mean it's just not possible...?
