Will I find a job by October? 8.2.3.4 > 28

[sailinginconfusion]

I need to find a job to stay in the country I am in right now, otherwise I'll have to go home.

8.2.3.4 > 28
2nd line: have trust in myself and it will do me good
3rd line: could the wrong people be the wrong people in myself? to avoid going in self-sabotaging behaviour?
4th line: seek help/support from powerful people that will help me?

The relating hexagram is 28, Preponderance of the Great. In the Wilhelm interpretation it mentioned that it is necessary to find a way of transition, does this hexagram support the change (the one which will come by me finding a job)?

I take it that I just need to believe in myself??? The chances of wishful interpreting on my side are high...

Guessing it's probably showing you how to do this.

28 could be the strain you're under, and yes, it could mean a transition, I think. Depending on what the ridgepole is, maybe it should collapse, for instance if you're too rigid about anything. (That's only an example - obviously I don't know. It could simply be the deadline strain.)

I'm tempted to put 8.2 and 8.4 together: seeking union inside and outside. Bring your whole self to the endeavor (line 2), and, I'd guess, talk to anyone and everyone (line 4). Those lines together change to 47, digging deep, maybe especially when you're tired or feeling hopeless. Try to keep going and get some momentum. (Easy for me to say...)

8.3 might mean this will feel like engaging with non-people. You're in a foreign country: the people there aren't your kind and maybe they feel the same about you, yet you're trying to belong. Or it could mean literal non-people: systems, computers, job-listing websites, things like that.

I am only just seeing your response now, thank you so much for taking the time to look into this Liselle! I am not as flexible as I should be sometimes, so the rigidity makes sense here. So based on this, bring myself together and try everything, apply everywhere... Ha, and the non people comment, it makes so much sense, I sometimes experience people as robots here, which is only a reflection of my inner feeling of course. I'll do my best and try to remain cheerful even when it's hard, like 47 insists on... Many thanks again.
