I think your interpretation of 33, 5 is only half the story, whilst it certainly does have connotations of cutting ties with the past, there is a question of which ties, and I usually translate the yi as "praiseworthy retreat" which means that you are bound by the praiser. The addition of line two changing the entire hexagram to the cauldron which requires two bowls as sacrifice, suggests that you must heat two praisers at once in order to arrive at a satisfactory realisation of your desire. My own guess is that the established ties have more power over you than your own ability to cut them.I went on a job interview a few days ago. I felt really positive during the interview and afterwards. But of course I started to doubt it all and now I don’t know how I feel. So I asked “how does it look for me to be the “manager” for “this business”. (((I tried to ask a non YES OR NO question))))
I am thinking that line 2 is a positive sign that I will get the job. Becuase I am currently employed - I feel that 33.2 changing to (hidden line) 44 shows my desire for another job and I that I have a powerful will for getting this new job.
The line 33.5 “cutting ties with the past” again I think this represent the current job and me walking away from it, letting it go to move to the new, future job.
the final hexagram 50 the cauldron - “a rebirth or reconnection of your life path” a complete transformation. That would be what is new job represents - a completely new and different life. I would have to move to a new city, get a new place to live , new vehicle ,have a job that is totally different than what I am doing now. My life would be something totally different than what it is now and I have been meditating and focusing on bringing about that change for myself. I am ready to move on and leave the past behind me.
So I feel this reading was positive. Am I missing the mark or completely incorrect in that thought ?
I thank you in advance for any feeedback!!

“......I usually translate the yi as "praiseworthy retreat" which means that you are bound by the praiser. .....My own guess is that the established ties have more power over you than your own ability to cut them.
I think I'm only stating the obvious by saying that the praisers are the managers and the established ties refer to both the current employer and the potential new employer, which is why the image of the cauldron appears. I will quote a passage from a book as I tend to be more of a scholarly reader of the oracle than a channeller of yi interpretations:Yeats, thank you very much for your insight.
When you write about the “praiser” what entity is that referring to in my scenario ?
Also - what do you mean by “established ties”? Are you applying that meaning to my current employer ? Or to the potential new employer ?
Ok thanks, Yeats!!“.....perhaps another reading...
