What next with myself and my family

58.1 4 5 to 7

I am sitting enjoying the sunshine on the side of a hill with butterflies and dragonflies skirting the dog's nose. The view is stunning it is September soon my birthday (libran end of month) and I am well. Left to myself life is good....and I am lucky

My family feels however as if they are all like juggling balls in the air - all with their own life issues - and all asking for guidance of some sort. It is difficult sometimes - there are some quite serious problems (emotional) to deal with and I am on my own which means everything defers to me

Many castings I dr the year have resulted in a not yet scenario - and they have been right. However I am going to have to so something financially at least - I have put on hold any prospect of romantic liaisons - but know that I cannot continue as I am right now

Bearing in mind That decisions will affect not only myself but my little family - I asked what next - and got
58.1 4 5 to 7

Now 7 reminds me of an army in waiting - being there in the background watching out. But the lines of 58 seem to contradict themselves. Positive then rather inauspicious

58 is a bit thin on threads and I wonder if you have any thoughts out there. Funnily my son who has almost decided what options to take at A level got he. 58. 2 to 17 lastnight

58 - opening but not too much perhaps

Sorry to bother you all just feeling so happy and warm but concerned about next steps

You will go back to work. 58 (retirement) to 7 (member of an organization). It's a way to deal with empty nest syndrome.

Hi there.

58,1,4,5>7 Like most hexagrams Hex 58, Tui has many associations including 'breaking up' and 'will power'. The two yang lines in the Tui trigram are regarded as secure enough but the uppermost line, a yin line, could potentially represent the breaking up of the thrusting drive started by the two lower yang lines, a breaking of the will-power. Its position in the Early Heaven sequence reveals Tui's important role in the completion of the yang process and the potential danger of a failure of will.

58,1 represents a situation of being content and secure with one's position.
58,4 "Joyousness that is weighed is not at peace." Instead of resting peacefully and securely in your situation this line indicates a possible tendency to be disturbed and prompted to weigh-up and evaluate your position.
58,5 "Sincerity towards disintegrating influences" - the I Ching is warning you to beware of giving negative evaluations your sincere attention and concern.

These three lines summarise quite readily - be settled and content, don't allow negative fears to erode your position. The resultant hexagram Hex 7, The Army, is simply urging you to apply a measure of self-discipline in order to protect your position.

The problem is not my inability to work or not having children around
It is more to do with my children returning and needing my help - for somewhere to live and for emotional and financial support. Where I choose to live is important - my son is still just 16 - and both of my other children now have no jobs (one has no prospect of getting one due to illness)
It's tricky ...
But yes I need to move
Forward

Thank you you are always so succinct

Sorry Peter we cross posted
Why didn't I see it so clearly? I have had a small op recently and turned off my phone and concentrated on getting better. Now I am having to deal with the rest of life - but it is difficult not to be weighed down by it all - and not see the positive things in front if our noses.
Reminds me of Monty Python Life of Brian
Always look on the bright side of life...
Many thanks..

Just thinking the other day and looking about storytelling courses...
It would be like going back to Kindergarten for me -
