Hi everyone,

I have been taking some time to process the last year, and think about what I would like in the year ahead and beyond. I would really like to find my place in the world.

For me that involves having a job I really feel passionate about, as well as having someone in my life to share a committed, loving relationship with. I would really like to have a child soon - being ready to bring a great human being into the world and love them enough to let them reach their own full potential has also been a real priority for me. So I asked the Yi if having a child, securing a job I absolutely love, and a committed and loving partnership will happen in the near- or far-term for me?

The Yi returned with Hexagram 2, no lines changing. :eek:

That's a big answer to a big question - I thought I would ask some of the more masterful practitioners on this forum about their thoughts? In case it helps, here are the issues at hand - and pardon the length :blush:

My relationship status can be seen on my two other threads. In terms of my job status, I had a great career in entertainment, but things really fizzled and I had to return to my childhood home to look for work from there and save money - a very humbling, emotional experience.

Just the other day I was called in to interview at a well known toy company and they told me they might offer me a position within the next week :D. The position is in a very cutting edge area of content that I have been aiming toward, but it is strictly children's content - an area I've never had much interest in. So although it could be put me at the top of a new wave, I worry about being pidgeon-holed into "kids content".

It would also keep me in my hometown - I'm a city girl at heart and 6 months in my hometown is already is making me a little bonkers! :brickwall: I can overlook location because I really need the work though, and having a child right now is a priority. It's just that there is also the issue of my former partner - we experienced a big rift this past year over distance and communication issues, and separated despite deeply loving each other. I did not think we would speak again even though the Yi told me we would in my last reading! :duh: And so of course, they very recently asked to reconcile with me. Sadly, they are not a citizen and job status, or at least a student visa, is requisite for them to be here. Being in a small place such as this may put us back at square one, and this is really the person I see as a life-partner :confused:

My question came out of all these issues, and a hope that somehow these desires would be able to come fruition together. Any help would be great, as so far I am reading this as a "sit and see" answer, or for me to at least not push anything to happen? Also, I'm wondering if Hex 2 may be addressing the "motherhood" aspect of the question...

Thank you lovely people in advance!:bows:

Update...

Well, looks like the job prospect has changed a tiny bit - the position is now a contract position rather than fulltime with benefits. They are sort of treating this like a trial period - I guess that's what happens in an insane economy!

Looks like I will be working quite soon, but near home as discussed above. Hoping to understand my reading a bit more, but perhaps the "following" aspect - or waiting and seeing approach - is what Hex 2 was talking about here. It is the same, it seems with my relationship, which seems to be in a touchy state.

Not much I can do other than see where the chips fall, but I was hoping to get some advice on how I might prepare myself for the way ahead, and how to get closer to my ultimate goals...

If anyone has any thoughts, let me know - hope this hex isn't too intimidating! Seems like I haven't gotten any responses on it yet!

I always interpret Hex. 2 as non-action. There isn't anything you can do right now except be receptive what is arising in your life. It means not leading. Kind of like the I Ching is saying, "Ssshh. Don't do. Listen."

Another way of saying this might be "let go and let God."

jfas, thanks very much - I think this is pretty much what I understood from it, and it is what is occurring now. I am finding that no matter how much I wish to control the situation, there isn't really anything I can do to affect it accept wait to see where things lead me.

It's a bit tough considering I'm the "can-do" type that makes things happen in many areas of my life - so perhaps this is a lesson for me, that at times one can learn as much from receiving and following too.

Thanks for reminding me to relax and let go!
