Ha! Ha! Very funny Kronus!
: : 6's often get caught in a trap of immobility and indecision because they won't act until they get a high degree of certainty. They wait until they perfect their ideas and actions so as to avoid criticism and possible attack when they do engage the world.
: *******How does this differ from the immobility of a FOUR?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would hope a four could answer this one.
6 & 4 are very similar in this regard.
My observation is that 6's can accurately see the world, they just overmagnify the danger and what can go wrong. 6's scare themselves into procrastination and inaction.
4's are somewhat out of touch with how they truly feel and overamplify certain feelings of loss, what's missing in their lives and selves, what others have that they lack, etc.. 4's immobility is based on being self-absorbed in these feelings.
________________________________________________
: : The trap is the feeling of needing certainty and the desire for perfectionism is an emotional one, and too often a 6 will try to solve that through analytical means. But, it doesn't work.
: *******Is not immobility or lack of action dibilitating regardless of the underlying emotional cause (FOUR or SIX)?
--------------------------
Not if it's in preparation. 4, 5, &6 often prepare endlessly, but never take action

: : Hell for the 6 is the fixation on eternal questioning, such as, "But, what if.......?", and "But, what about.......?", "But, ....?", etc.. These questions can go on endlessly, upsetting any degree of certainty the 6 may feel. Meanwhile the 6 stays locked in immobilty due to doubt and uncertainty.
: ********Try living with the endless questioning of a FOUR's "what ifs"! (This SEVEN finds it irritating as hell, so to speak.)
----------------------
Sounds like you're living in a 7's Hell!

: : Some solutions:
: : Analysis is fine, as long as it is done while in motion for the 6.
: : Relief from the compulsion comes from going to 9 and trusting that the natural flow of things, God, principles, etc. will bring things to positive fruition.
: ******That is the release of the Wu, letting Jesus into your life, finidng God, surrendering, or what ever religious experience you achieve, no?
----------------------------
I guess.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
: : Realization that the 6 is creating the doubt, and start to doubt the neccessity of doubting.
: ***There is a "Catch 22" in here somewhere.
-------------------------
I know, that's why it works!
