Reading 56.4 to 52

[Everbeing]

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your insight

My question was “what is the source/root of my depressive feelings? What’s is hiding behind this fog?”

For context, I’m in a place where I feel like I either have to make a huge change and move towards something new or accept the present state.

Hi Everbeing

“what is the source/root of my depressive feelings? What’s is hiding behind this fog?”

56 < > 54

What is hiding behind the fog is a long procession of things that are not your fault. They always were and still are outside of your control (54). Beating yourself up about any of this is not going to help you in any way. Focus on what is good in you to help you understand some of the things you see as flaws and imperfections.

56 indicates that you are on a personal quest that eventually takes you far beyond any of this material. Right now might be very lonely times for you, so Yi advocates that you remain compassionately firm with yourself and always ensure, through conscious awareness, that brightness shines in every thought you have.

56.4 - diligently looking for ways to adapt and positively fit in with your current surroundings will evoke change for you and without knowing it, when the time is right, you will gain greater insights into what it is that you have lost and are really searching for in the fog,

... of course, other interpretations are available to you.

Good Luck

What is the source of the depression?

56. Moving on.
54. Starting at the bottom …again.

I read these hexagrams as saying you don’t have a compelling vision drawing you forward so instead of feeling life is a delightful adventure of new discoveries it’s feeling more like life is a giant chore where it’s all a repetition of the same old routine.

You need something to look forward to!
