Before you can Progress is there something in the past you need to take care of? Something left undone? A borrowed book to return? A thank you note to write?

8.4.6 sounds to me as if you have particularly suffered from relationships - partnerships? Jobs? - that have ended. Or perhaps it just means that you have life memories in general that it's now time to release and let go.

Bite Through those old chains or complete the old promises, or learn the old lessons or bury the old trash or so something so that you can move forward confidently saying My Life Starts Now, rather than everything having to relate to something that happened so long ago that no one can do anything about it.
You might also get value from looking at your astrological chart. Note which planet is at the closest to 30 degrees of the sign it's in. This is your planet of last degree. It is the last planet the moon makes an aspect to as it moves through the signs. As this planet will be the last planet the moon connects with, it will tell you how things tend to end for you.

In any case, 8. 4,6 is reminding you not to attach yourself to the good and bad in your life, but instead to build yourself inside. Search for your talents, skills, innate ability, and develop them. It also tells you to find a purpose, a goal, a concrete goal you can work towards, achieve, and focus your energy and talents into, etc.
Manage, but keep to a safe distance.
So, this is more about an advice on how you must handle things in the future, more than what the future brings you. Remember, if you allow others to shape your life, you are giving up the power to build the life you want.
just my two cents.
Hello,
I have often lurked on the forums here, but this is the first time I am posting here.
I have been going through a rather rough period of failure upon failure upon failure from the past 12 (twelve) years. I am honestly coming to the end of my wits, because even now almost every aspect of my life seems in a state of disarray, without any ray of hope.
I asked the Yi, "I have gone through a rather difficult past, what does the future hold for me?"
I get 8.4.6 -> 12
Doesn't seem very encouraging
The Yi speaks about holding together. What should I hold onto ? Also the second hex '12' seems to suggest that things are not going to improve.
Coincidentally, I was thinking of Vippassana meditation some time back, In Vippassana meditation there is great importance not to attach ourselves with anything and not to react to things. Rather to observe and let go. I agree, I need to learn not to attach my self to good or bad things, but simply to accept them as is... maybe as an influence which came in my life to teach me some lesson.
Self-exploration happens with action, more than anything. Or after action. The same mentor told me that each day must be a closed book, and every new day must be a start from the end point reached yesterday.I agree, I need to search for those talents in me which will help me express and interact in ways that are most natural to me. Though at this point I am honestly feeling a bit weary to do that self exploration. It feels like I need some rest, so I recharge my resources, and get ready for moving ahead again.
It's human to feel terrible and happy. After all, why would we try to avoid pain and desire pleasurable things, right?That's great advise. Not being able to keep a safe distance has led me to many a misery Something I definitely need to keep in mind.
Thank you, I need to and I definitely take charge of my life. It might take me a little time to heal the past, but I will...
The key to all this, as I see it, is in 8.4. You ask, "what should I hold onto?" I'll ask, what do you hold onto? Is it your past failures and misfortunes, or is it hope and vision for positive goals? According to 8.6, you have no head, no mind, no leadership to hold to, therefore no goals, no hope, no vision. So, before you can turn your standstill and misfortune around, you need to adjust your head, and then hold outwardly to those new visions you create in your mind, do something to accomplish your goals of prosperity, whatever prosperity means to you.
I also realize that I do not have a very clear picture of what I want out of life right now. In the past I have almost always had a vision, but maybe destiny mostly had other plans. Right now I am bit scared to create a vision, which destiny may again derail. Feel like at the moment I may not have the resources to deal with more misfortune... so I guess I am just gliding along without any real plan or direction.
It's more of like playing a game of SIMs. My mentor says, it's better this way, since it enables you to gain a broader sense and the need to evaluate things as facts and systems rather than random events.
Self-exploration happens with action, more than anything. Or after action. The same mentor told me that each day must be a closed book, and every new day must be a start from the end point reached yesterday.
As such, he clearly stated that reflection for each day's movements were necessary to clear the mind of any stress, and so enable one to utilize more of one's mind into the present circumstances and situations.
It's human to feel terrible and happy. After all, why would we try to avoid pain and desire pleasurable things, right?
What separates us from being dragged by events, is when we are able to be thankful after the fun, and be able to say, "okay, a clear mistake. Let's try again, and see what we can do tomorrow."
It's more like being responsible, but never the owner.
I'm glad to have shared this reading with you.
I hear you, Ragini. Odd as it seems, very few of us can define clearly our goals, other than vague, general goals, such as feeling better, happier or more peaceful. And past disappointments do throw cold water on creating fresh visions. I think part of entering new phases of life require us to reshape our goals, because what once made us happy may no longer work. That's why I ended with "whatever prosperity means to you." We may be trying to live up to our old standards, and that's no longer satisfying or possible. So it's important to create new or renewed standards, which are attainable. Sometimes it's best to start with small, seemingly insignificant goals, but which are foundational, like: Today my goal is to be happy, or, today my goal is to do something to make someone else happy. Or, today I will exercise, go for a brisk walk and breathe deeper.
The most fundamental meaning for 8 is 'keep it together', and our head has to be engaged to create that condition; even in gaining insight into the true nature of reality (Vipassanā), the mind needs to awaken, not be lulled asleep, nor dwell on past misery. A personal mantra can help with that. For me, when on walks, it is most gratifying to remind myself (in my head) repeatedly, I am that: the road, the sky, the mountain, the horse, the dog, the people in that house, the bugs that crawl, the birds that fly, I am life and I am death too - I am that. That gathers all together (45), and then it's up to me to keep it together. May not sound like a grand goal, but it gets me through the day, even difficult days.
Best to you.
Hi Ragini,
you have no idea how I can relate to what you say. I do understand your fear to create another vision that may lead to another disappointment. Its hard to believe that this time things will go well. You said your are running out of stamina, so how to fight for something ? I have been there and there were moments I felt that universe is not my ally in a challenge I'm going through and the scary part was I couldn't stand on my feet , literally and metaphorically. there were times I wanted to quit, stop trying for everything let the difficulties win and lost sight a some really good things happening. The temptation to quit was strong, and the situation in general , all those difficulties , obstacles could give a good excuse to quit, but i couldn't do that. I have no idea how to fight it, where to find the strength needed . the only thing i knew is that I really didn't want to quit. I read your h12 that way too. To whom/what you say "yes" and to whom/what you say "no".
I had a surgery and doctors did a great job. On the 3rd day they ask you to walk. its pretty painful but it is important to do that. Its only a few steps but its the beginning of the patients work. Doctors cant offer anything more. its the patient that will decide that part is going to play.
what Sooo wrote reminded me of all this situation and especially the day I had to walk. To my bad luck I had a sever sciatica that day. I didn't got any medication for that because we wanted to avoid a medicine that wasn't the best thing to do because of the surgery . Doctors said I need to rest and the same doctors said I had to walk. To be honest, I didn't want to walk under that condition but on the other hand walking , apart from doctors orders had a personal significance for me. take charge, to commit to my part of work. So , although I thought for a while to what i wanted to hold on (i.e to the bad luck of another obstruction or to the opportunity to mend something ) I decided to give a try. This is why I said earlier that 12 , to me, feels like a yes or not we have to say.
I don't know if what i say helps in any way but I felt like sharing that with you.
best wishes
maria
Ragini,
We all have things to be thankful for, for instance, the existence of this forum that allows us the opportunity to help other members of online clarity and get help as well . The words of the more experienced members are always inspiring.
I have a lot to learn, but I felt the need to address some encouraging words.
Remember that you are alive!
You have friends with whom you can count on.
You are able to overcome any difficulty if you believe that you can and look for the right means to do it and that is when talking to the right people makes all the difference to clear our minds to see our own situation better and how to deal with it more harmoniously.
This is my humble contribution to you. I hope it helps you somehow.
Take good care of yourself!
Dilson
My situation is indeed very similar to what your's was. I do not want to give up, but I don't have the stamina to fight either. So I am just holding on, making sure I don't slip down, but also unable to climb up. And as sooo suggested, having small goals may be the key to moving up.
.
I have had a fair share of health issues too. At one point it became so painful, that it was actually hilarious. I was wondering to myself, "Is this really my life, or am I watching a motion picture ?" But magically that moment allowed me to put myself out of my own life and look at it as a third person. It really helped me pull through several years of weak health and pain.
.
Contemplation of his life.
The superior man is without blame.
