What should I know about my future? 11.3.5 > 60

[simona]

I've been have a lot of problems in the last few years. In a moment when I wasn't able to see direction / any future for me, I asked the IC

What should I know about my future?
The answer was: 11.3.5 > 60

11.3
Without level places no slopes. Without going no returning. In hard conditions determination: no fault. Do not worry over a truth. (Even) an eclipse brings blessing.
Never worry about anything you cannot change, and do not try to change what is not your business. Accepting good and bad both is the best way of coping with fate. It is the foundation of love, all kinds of love, for life, for yourself, for others.

I understand it as a description of those (these...) difficult moments. Something like "ok, you're having "downs", but there will be also "ups", and anyway there is always something you can learn from the downs."

11.5
Emperor Yi marries off his younger sister. Thereby is blessing. Great auspiciousness.
The spirit finds and makes harmony if he gives everything its right place and if necessary takes action to accomplish this. He connects the elements of life with each other and lays the foundations for prosperity and happiness.

It sounds like an encouragement: good moments will come.
(I hope it's not only wishful thinking.)


But I don't know how to interpret hex 60, Limitation, in this context.
A very rigid hexagram, but giving value to the most free means of expression. Living moment after moment makes that possible. Restrictions need expiring dates, so every new cycle will have its own new energy. Life becomes a composition. Not the notes but their rhythm and succession make the music.
Play your own song on your own flute. If your pitch is right, you will able to join in with others, and they with you.

Well, like the line says, expect good times and bad times, but you just have to keep going as the train ain't stopping, so make the most of your good times and hang in there when things get tough. Don't fret though because your future is certainly not all gloom and doom, you can indeed expect some very fortunate times.

Hex 60 is about remaining balanced in life by carefully controlling yourself, so chose to do things that you know are possible for you, be realistic about what is achievable and what is not, do not delude yourself with fantasies, then you can expect more success in your future.
