Limitations on Starting a Business?

[Sara369]

I asked the oracle ‘Outcome of starting a skincare business’. I received hexagram 60.1.6 with 59 as the background. Not very positive! The idea I have is more specific than just a skincare business, as it uses a lot of the research I’ve done over the last few years and some formulas I learnt from my grandmother. I’ve fleshed out the idea and researched manufacturers etc. but it’s in its infancy stage, an idea stage. I asked not too long ago about building personal wealth, and received 55.3.4 as a response (posted on the forum), the oracle spoke of having enough to survive, being in an environment of abundance, and tending to a ‘broken arm’, not attempting too much at the moment, having enough to deal with, I assumed this was my health - with the generous help of everyone on the forum, and although I am not 100%, I feel I have more energy and resolve now and hope this continues on an upward trend with my efforts. But perhaps this is the oracles way of letting me know that I don’t have the energy reserves to start this project yet in terms of my health? That I’m jumping the gun?

I’m trying to figure out which direction to go in, how to cultivate independence, I’m currently living with my parents, which line 1 in in 60 clearly speaks to, and I don’t go out much other than to go for long walks in the surrounding area, so line 1 is descriptive of me living at home, but it is line 6 that has confused me a lot, I’ve read almost every interpretation I can get my hands on and can’t understand how this line is relevant to me or my query.

I do not feel that anyone is restricting/controlling me, or that I restrict or control anyone else. I had issues in the past with my father being quite controlling and dominating my life/life choices, but I don’t allow that to happen anymore, we have healthy boundaries. I don’t know if I’ve understood this line 6 well. This is also more than just about building personal wealth, it’s about finding some kind of long term direction for myself , creating something I’m passionate about, not being dependent on others for my survival. Any input would be appreciated guys, any ideas? Thank you

I asked what the limitation or restriction is that I might be persevering in & I got 51.1 - this might be the most strange reading I’ve had thus far.

Hi Sara369,

H60 is about limitations and boundaries. H59 is the hexagram of evaporation (trigram Water to Wind ). So when the question is "Outcome of starting a skincare business" the answer is that constraints and limitations evaporate or fall away.
The question here is, what are the limitations?
60.1
Trigram Lake turns into Water because of the moving line in the 1st position.
Trigram Lake with a moving line is about wanting to rush out with ideas while the situation or circumstances are not yet entirely clear. It is wanting to move forward without considering the consequences. The change to Water shows that at this stage it is better to let the process develop without directing it. Not the rational but the emotional should determine the development.
The text of this line says: "Not going out of the door into the courtyard." This too indicates that you should stay inside, so to speak, not literally but with your plan to start a skin care business. The idea still needs to develop and crystallise.
60.6
Trigram Water turns into Wind by the moving line at the 6th position.
Water with a moving line is about not resisting the limits imposed by the current situation. It is just the way it is. The change to Wind shows that setting up a business is a long-term thing and requires thorough planning. This is a step-by-step process and development. So make a plan, which you implement meticulously and step by step.
The text of this line says: "Bitter limitation. Perseverance brings misfortune. Regrets vanish"
Continuing to resist the limitations of the current situation is a waste of energy because you can't change it, therefore focus your energy on the future and plan ahead.

H59, as mentioned, is the hexagram of evaporating, dissolving. It is the mist, the water vapour over a lake being blown away by the Wind. What dissolves in H59 are the blockages in the emotional life (Water) being blown away by the Wind.
Both H59 and H60 have H27 as their core hexagram, the hexagram of nourishment. This begs the question: which idea are you feeding yourself with? Negative limiting ideas or positive supportive ideas?

asked what the limitation or restriction is that I might be persevering in & I got 51.1

Could it be that the answer to that question is something completely different from what you expect? By this I mean that the limitations are something different from what you think. The fact that the line moves at the 1st position indicates that you have certain ideas about it but this answer shows that it could be something else than expected, hence the shock.
First there is the shock, but then there is laughter. The related hexagram is H16, enthusiasm and eagerness. What first appears to be a shock then sparks enthusiasm.

This would be my interpretation, hopefully you can do something with it.
As always, take what resonates and leave the rest

Hey Hans_K, your interpretation is very diffferent to my initial one and I’m glad since I didn’t have a good grasp of it. The use of the elements in the trigrams to explain the process, I didn’t even think to look to those, so thank you for pointing that out. I think you’re right on being meticulous about each step with the business, planning things out and taking it slowly. And yes I haven’t told anyone about it, as I noticed a pattern in my life, whenever I’ve spoken to someone about a plan, it tends not to work out. This business idea is really important to me, so your feedback on this cast is really valuable and I shall refer back to it as I move forward.
