Loosen your thumbs. Partners will come in the end. Splitting apart brings a connection to the spirits that will carry you through.
Deliver yourself from your current connections. Do not keep chasing what you want. New friends will come after a time of loneliness. Have no doubt. Just wait calmly and the whole situation will reverse itself. Strip away the old and you will truly have cause to rejoice. Something significant is returning.
Richard Wilhelm
Deliver yourself from your great toe.

Then the companion comes,
And him you can trust.
In times of standstill it will happen that inferior people attach themselves to a superior man, and through force of daily habit they may grow very close to him and become indispensable, just as the big toe is indispensable to the foot because it makes walking easier. But when the time of deliverance draws near, with its call to deeds, a man must free himself from such chance acquaintances with whim he has no inner connection. For otherwise the friends who share his views, on whom he could really rely and together with whom he could accomplish something, mistrust him and stay away.
