“Obstruction.
The southwest furthers.
The northeast does not further.
It furthers one to see the great man.
Perseverance beings good fortune.”
You have hit an obstruction in pursuit of your goal - or you will, soon. This is the future of the situation symbolized by The Family/The Clan. In the I Ching system of metaphors, the southwest is the region of retreat, the northeast is the region of advance. However, the retreat shouldn't be a complete turning away from the direction you were headed. What is advised here is to pause, seek assistance, and then keep trying. The current challenge "requires the will to persevere just when one apparently must do something that leads away from his goal. This unswerving inner purpose brings good fortune in the end." [Wilhelm]
Where will you apply your "unswerving inner purpose?"
