Line 21.6 “Chaos”

The sixth line moves through three phases and eventually becomes an example, and in the gate of the hunter it meets disorder. When things slip out of control on the material level, the person must decide whether to persist or to look for order within.

In youth, someone with this line may go through periods when their efforts to control their work or resources only add to the chaos. Later they look at this from a distance and understand that not every mess can be tamed by force. In maturity they can sustain a long but legitimate struggle, hoping for results against the odds. The other path is to leave the battlefield and seek inner balance, which is sometimes wise and sometimes just means abandoning what is theirs.

Perseverance in a just cause even amid growing disorder. They keep acting lawfully and consistently, trusting that they will get there in the end.

Retreating inward when outer circumstances turn chaotic. They stop influencing the material world and seek order only within, leaving their affairs to drift.
