What is the road to success right now 11.1.2 > 15

[redoleander]

When I asked the question it was about my life overall, more on the side of personal growth and well-being than outward success. At the center though is time apart from my partner and hoping that we work it out but also only wanting to do that if it’s really a good idea. “Success” being the best possible outcome, I suppose.

11.1.2 > 15

11.1 Maybe taking time to untangle a bit? Not be so enmeshed but to really distinguish what my commitments and connections are?

11.2 This line confuses me. Some translations make it sound like it’s about not entirely abandoning former companions, others lean more toward forging ahead. Perhaps it’s a similar theme that it’s about walking my own path and not actively pushing anyone or anything away but just observing who comes with me or how this changes my perspective. Being kind, non-reactive, and aiming for a middle path, generally.

15: To be honest with myself about what I want and need and to see things for what they are

Yeah, I think you have it. Think of yourself as being one member of your generation. You've all come into being with a similar charge (What? Maybe "Live long and prosper!") and you all head out to pursue your individual callings but you're all basically going in the same direction. You're not competing with the others, you are following your own path on a wide road.

So maybe surround yourself with those who share your values and then step out bravely and do your thing!

Thank you, Rosada. That’s helpful. The image is really good, I’ll remember that for sure.

Line 1 - Being the best version of yourself and find others who understand you, even maybe counselling of some kind.
Line 2 - As you sort your own self out you may find it moves you away from things, people and/or situations that no longer 'fit' with this better version of yourself.

It's definitely a Hexagram of finding Peace but to find peace in ourselves we have to experience discord to look for something better.

Hexagram 15 is about finding Integrity in yourself for yourself and the way to go about becoming the best version of yourself.

I think that makes a lot of sense. The moving away part always feels scary, like I want to run back and cling, but it did feel like that was the message here. Non-attachment. Line 1 sometimes confuses me though; I’m not sure if it’s telling me to go deeper into the connections I have or to uproot, etc. I know it’s probably neither of those direct orders anyway but this overall message felt more about being unattached.

11.1 shows uprooting, which in itself is an unsettling thing. In this line, it's stated that someone is not uprooted alone, but with others who are similar. And the tendency is towards taking action. Are you currently aiming to go out with friends a lot?
Line 11.2 is a lonely line which soldiers on after bereavement. So perhaps re-think how much time you take apart from your partner. If it's too much it may break you two completely (which may or may not count as 'success', I don't know).

 

[redoleander]

Thank you for this. Yes, things do feel fragile. And it's complicated. I don't really want it to fall apart though and am trying to figure out what I can do, if anything. I appreciate your honesty. I'm honestly not aiming to go out a lot (I can't because of the pandemic and I'm high risk) but it would be nice to make friends. I've been in a new city since the pandemic and haven't met anyone and now my partner isn't here either (her mom is ill so she's there.) I could try to meet people online and do safer things like meet outside etc. When I read the lines I honestly wondered if it was telling me I might have to go on alone. We have had problems... I guess it remains to be seen.

 

[redoleander]

I should say that I don't want it to fall apart but I also don't want to hold it together in a way that's bad for me. There are some things she needs to change too, unknown as of yet if that's possible/going to happen.

Hi redoleander
You have already had some good responses and have made your own interpretations. I am arriving a bit late to the party with this interpretation but felt drawn towards contributing to this thread. So here goes......

11 <> 15
The road to success is based in you adopting a new approach towards yourself and towards others. Allow things to flow and become more flexible in your approach so that things in your world can evolve more naturally. Become open to what will be rather than what you want them to be. Let your world become a series of 'winning' situations and learn to see them as such.

The context of 15 directs you to bring this matter to completion. After a long period of 'following' down other roads you are urged now to 'lead' in a less dominating way. The challenge for you in all this is to make your world of thoughts, feelings, actions and behaviours simple and to learn to ride the waves of change: finding new ways to remain buoyant. Your old life rafts have more than served their purpose. There are newer more effective models on the market these days.

11.1 - The roots of your demise are thick and deep. The road to success will not be an easy one for you to walk. However, the best time to start planning for an ascent of Mount Everest is today. Putting things off achieves little.
11.2 - You can only travel this road on your own. No one else can make this journey for you and you need to be prepared for losses: not everyone or everything that is close to you at this time will be with you at the end of this stage of your journey.

...or it may be nothing like this at all for you

Good Luck
