Unexpected funds 51.6 --> 21

[compass]

Hi, I've discovered that a publisher I do freelance editing for has paid me twice for a recent project, the first time near the end of last month and the second time two weeks later. It was £500.

I asked the IC, "What should I do with the money?" and received 51.6-->21, which seems very appropriate as shocked/surprised is what I was when I looked at my bank account. My conscience is telling me to alert the publisher and return the money. But line 6's reading says, "Setting out to bring order: pitfall", which is confusing me.

I also asked, "Should I return the money?" and got 47.2.5.6-->35 (Confined's Advancing), which has only stumped me moreso.

To sum up, I'm torn between a good conscience and a "what if" the Universe is bestowing a gift upon me.

If you can share any enlightenment, please let me know. Many thanks!

i'd read 51.6 as it's not good to undertake something like spending the money but it's worthwhile to talk about it with people involved (that you're "married to", in the sense of obligation maybe), for the line you quoted Wilhelm says "undertaking brings misfortune" and Bradford translates is as "To go boldly is ominous". i'd say the line prompts you to talk to the publisher. i'm not sure about the other reading, you'll know if you need to return the money after the talk, i guess. 21 judgment says "BITING THROUGH has success. It is favorable to let justice be administered."

I agree with legume and the pitfall would be trying to set order in your mind about keeping it.

Thanks, legume & becalm, that really helped! I talked to the publisher and they were very apologetic about the error, but they were very helpful and I was able to return the money very quickly.
