What does he need from me? 5.6 Please help!

[lalafree]

Dear all,

I will love your help for this reading!

I very close one is going trough a very harsh time! Depression I guess..
he is having breakdowns and the other day he called me for help during the worst crisis he had so far.
The problem is that he doesn't accept any medical help and now he retreated from me too, so that I could'n help anymore!

This is sad because I care for him and I'm seriously worry! I don't know what to do and mostly I don't know what does he need, but I know that in one of his darkest moment he called Me...

so I asked " What does he need from me"?
answer is 5.6

Your inputs are appreciated!

I think 5.6 is a bit of a waiting line - I always think of it as waiting for people to arrive at Christmas Eve - having a few people in mind but others perhaps too. This is a good line - and has always worked out well - very warm like Auntie Alice at Christmas sort of line. Someone who is all too much giving you a kiss and a £10 note (in 1963 this was a lot if money)
With regards your dilemma ...
Now it doesn't sound too cheery - which is why I am puzzled by my wanting to tell you about my take in the line. Perhaps he needs to be around more people - have a less reclusive lifestyle perhaps - but maybe it is telling you to invite him over for a meal with say 3 friends.

You say it is his worst crisis so far - but are you sure? This line really is quite auspicious in my 40 years experience - so perhaps you should think if this as a positive step here

Hex 5 always feels as if I am sitting waiting - not in a bad way. Something good is around
The corner

Line 6 of hex 5 is about finding a shelter from peril (thus he is retreating from everyone). There will be helps coming his way (probably from you), but if he doesn't realize and still continuing to withdraw then it will be ominous.
Nevertheless, little progress will be shown since depression is a long termed thing, can't be solve over a few days, it could take months or years. Thus hex 9 came about suggesting little progress. But still better than standing still. He should rest after overcoming the current crisis, and dont try to do anything big afterwards as his mental state will not be ready. Persistence will bring regret.

The subject of 5.6 is holed up in his home. He is not feeling receptive to much right now. Things are not as bad as they seem however, and three friends, "uninvited guests" show up and help him with his situation. This sounds like the situation you describe.

So I read this as, do not wait for an invitation from your friend to go over and help him. Get a couple of friends and go over and clean his house, or just hang, or drag him out his front door with you. Insist, put him in a situation where he cannot say no to you. That's the kind of friends he needs right now.
