What am I to do ? 24 into 49

:bows: Hello, everybody!
Life is not going well...not going anywhere at all...I am stagnating in depression, without any clue what to hang on to.
What am I to do to change my life for the better? Hex 24.3, 4, 5 into 49
Moving into an change? I don`t feel it...as if I am to prepare, but no idea what for?
Can anyone coment on moving lines, please? Thank you, :bows:

Btw, got 24.1, 3 when asked should I try finding work abroad...

19->49 4 moving lines i would read 49.1 "Wrapped in the hide of a yellow cow" things are too fixed to change them. on the other hand line 5 "Wise approach.This is right for a great prince." invites you to think and decide. bottom line,is not going to be easy and you need to be wise.

 

[dragona]

:bows:Thank you, but I got 3 moving lines, and now that I am checking it again, it is 24.3,4,5 into 49!

Since you got hex 24, that means that strength is returning, although I know you cannot feel it yet.

Seems the trouble has to do with your sensitivities and how they move you. Perhaps you're like me and have trouble 'fixing your heart' on one thing or on one person and then moving forward in that one direction with certainty?

This is a time when you need mostly to rest and let what is important to you percolate up into the mind.

With 24.4, you can turn away inside yourself from external irritations without abandoning your situation. I just wanted to say that, because I have found it to be true for me.

The message of 24.5 seems to speak to the need to make a new beginning. Maybe you need a fresh idea. In order to innovate, we do of course need a new idea.

As various possibilities occur to you, you can ask Yi about them each time.

49 doesn't have to mean total revolution of a destructive kind. To me it means bringing the principle of innovation into my life. This may take a while, because innovations cannot be accomplished overnight -- not when there are other people involved.

Wallowing in depression is not good. You must take action. 24 provides you a means to recover from your problems, but you have to proceed step-by-step in a logical manner. No, you cannot do it overnight. Wanting an immediate change will only deepen and make your problems worse. That you don't feel anything is really because you stagnating and not doing anything. 49 is very good for abolishing the past, and as such you can do very well if you do what you have to do, which is not to stagnate in depression, but to work yourself out of the situation. Moreover, 24 is also very good for travelling abroad and to finding work abroad. Just set it up so that you can go back and forth from where you are on a regular basis.

 

[dragona]

Thank you all.
Just lost my reply here, so will try to recall. I was thinking about your posts and waiting for something meaningfull to come to me in order to reply but it is not happening.

Ginnie is on track there - I did not find something or someone to commit to yet, simply because I have not received any kind of encourragement that would make me jump for it thought I really want and need to get it.

I don`t see these lines in very optimistic light - just perhaps that I will aquire one of those lame jobs that kills me inside, but since last one left me totally burned out, I maybe learned my lesson and try not to take things too much to heart and focus on saving some money and nerves, too.
Not jumping for joy, as you can see.

Perhaps someone can see these moving lines in more concrete way that would allow me to try and get some equally concrete ideas out of it? Thank you again.

Concrete Ideas

Not jumping for joy, as you can see.

Perhaps someone can see these moving lines in more concrete way that would allow me to try and get some equally concrete ideas out of it? Thank you again.

You received three moving lines. Usually there is a progression upwards from the bottom one to the top one. Sounds like right now you're at 24.3, torn between the different paths you might take ... and you cannot decide.

24.4: If you are excessively tied to depressing people, people who are dragging you down, then then turn away from them. If you cannot make a clean break, you can always embark on an inner journey in a new direction ... and the next line provides a clue as to how you might accomplish that.

24.5. Do you have faults? Be honest. We all have faults. In order to start a new life, you will need to admit you have faults, see what they are, and start correcting them.

 

[dragona]

There is truth in this. But it is hard when one is tied emotionaly, financialy and family with an "emotional vampire" or two.
Independance is sorely needed.
Thank you for this interpretation, it was surprise for me - you are very intuitive person.

 

[ginnie]

Thanks for the compliment, Dragona!

Observation: Almost all families have family members who consume our energy like crazy. Actually, that's not at all unusual.

Suggestion: Don't get into wrangles, arguments, and quarrels with them at this time. Just don't say anything.

Do you have any kind of meditation practice? I think you need to look into this, because we all need ways to quiet our minds. Especially when our brains are busy churning out negative thoughts ...

Another thing that becomes even more important when we're feeling down is to get outside everyday. Sunlight is very important for our sense of well being. Taking a walk everyday and letting the mind just wander and observe ... A lot of people are helped by just doing a lot of walking.

If that doesn't help at all, then some other outdoor activity might accomplish the same thing. I say "outdoor" because it's good to see the sun during the day. When we're down in the dumps, we tend to want to stay inside all day and maybe go out only at night. I realize it might be the dead of winter where you are and you cannot go outside a lot, but still, a bit of fresh air never hurt anyone.

 

[dragona]

Again, you are saying things I am thinking of doing - asking my best friend to go out as much as possible and doing yoga again.
Family situation is of an co-dependent nature - won`t go into the particullars now,
but you mean well and I thank you again.:bows:

You Say You Want A Revolution

:bows:Thank you, but I got 3 moving lines, and now that I am checking it again, it is 24.3,4,5 into 49!
Apologgies...:bag:

How do we get H49 (Radical Change) from Returning? H24 (returning, a journey that leads you out and home again).

My sense of the reading is that you can only come to radical change, by movements back to the center of yourself. It is along the lines of the Beatles song Revolution:

"You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead"

Only by changing the individual herself can large changes be affected.

Line 3 here indicates that the road back to yourself is not a smooth one, and there will be repeated "returnings. " Radical Change through Returning isn't a one step process.

Line 4 is the critical line in this reading, I believe. It points out that your path is to come back to yourself, to learn to hear your own inner guidance, to turn off the advice of the herd, whether heard on the television or from your friends and to begin to listen to yourself. Find the things which are food for you, and begin to feed yourself.

Line 5 indicates that even before you are fed, you must be a source of food for others. Giving to others is a great remedy for depression. Give to friends, give to strangers, volunteer at soup kitchens. Can you really stay depressed when you focus on others, who are needier than you?

There is a quote, which I can't locate right now, about how if you go looking for friends you won't find them, but if you go out to befriend others, you will have many opportunities.

Act with Generosity to others, and give more of your spirit to others than you think you can. You will not regret it.

Thank you, really profound wiew.
Not that I get more and more confused... :-S
I mean, I know that in order for anything to move, I need to put myself back together. But can one really return to his old self? Return to my senses would be accurate too, because I am resigned, no panic button on the dash board to make me react-not that I need more troubles, not that.
As for others, I always think more of others than of myself-how they must feel in their boots, how will something I do relate to them-and when I let my guard down, it always ends in them checking me...ballance is hard to achieve, perhaps because I try too hard-so energy returned is almost never as equal as given one.

(line 4) No help from others on concrete level I was hoping for as same hex for going abroad and changing my life? hm...a coincidence?

Wondering how deep to go with this reading- one could take things literaly, or ponder endlesly....I was hoping to extract something concrete...again, seams it is all up to me and in this moment in time, I am not sufficient..something is missing.

Spring is Coming

I know that in order for anything to move, I need to put myself back together. But can one really return to his old self? Return to my senses would be accurate too, because I am resigned, no panic button on the dash board to make me react-not that I need more troubles, not that.

I would think of this whole thing as a long process. That is how the reading feels to me...a series of returnings, no quick fix.

As for others, I always think more of others than of myself-how they must feel in their boots, how will something I do relate to them-and when I let my guard down, it always ends in them checking me...ballance is hard to achieve, perhaps because I try too hard-so energy returned is almost never as equal as given one.

there is a world of difference between being of use to someone and all the time worrying about what other people think and feel. It is a major loss of energy to sit around and worry about what impression you are making, how you appear to other people, whether they like you. I am not talking about that kind of "considering." Eventually, you need to stop doing that; I am sure you are losing tremendous amounts of your energy.

To practice external consideration is to take action to help other people, to be there for others when they need you, while still re-collecting yourself. You don't lose yourself in fear and worry; you are always present and preventing your energies from scattering and storing them for when you and others need them. If you spend all your energy in needless worry, you can't help yourself or others.

Finally, the seasons. It has been a rough and long winter, at least where I am. H24 overall talks about a time when no movement was alllowed; when this time ends, journeying is permitted.

Listen to some of this text from the Wikiwing:

"The character (see LiSe[1]) shows a foot leaving a town. So it’s more to do with returning to your path than necessarily returning to the group. Your path might lead to or from. So both go away from town to an authentic non-social path, but also return to town with some revitalising connection."

"‘Going out, coming in’ – a foot leaving an enclosure, and (probably) a doorway. Meaning especially leaving enclosures, and entering into the centre of things. Maybe this describes a round trip: go out, gain something from the journey, return home."

So perhaps not a coincidence if you are thinking about journeying.

Hopefully you are somewhere were spring will come soon, and you can experience some of the energies of renewal.

Prescription for Dragona:

When you get up in the morning, say this to yourself, Dragona, before breakfast: "I have decided that today I am going to be a happy person. Today I am going to do everything I can think of to raise my spirits and my courage."

And if anybody interferes in your internal process of doing that: (1) visualize yourself turning your back on them mentally; and (2) don't get involved in even thinking how wrong they are for dragging you down.

Do you know how to do visualizations?

Anyway, why do you call yourself Dragona? Are you like a dragon? For example, do you sometimes breathe fire?

Anyway, the only thing that is 'missing' is that you have not decided yet to be a happy person. What's missing is only that decision. Other than that, there is nothing missing.
