54 uc

[glider]

Hello to everyday!
How should I behave with her, to have money?
I did a job for a lady, a month ago, she hasn't paid me yet and keeps putting it off, always finding new excuses. On Sunday I got angry, I called her and spoke to her clearly. We were supposed to meet today, but she already sent me a message that she can't. Should I wait and not insist? I have the possibility of putting in a third person, who is on my side, and that's the one who got me this contact, but I don't want to make it worse. What do you think of this unchanging hexagram?
Thank you for any answer!

Hi glider

I think you are in a 54 position, meaning there is little you can do at the moment. You come second to that lady's priorities. I would personally wait a little bit more.
I don't know what kind of job this is but nowadays it is commonplace to pay people a few months later.
If she intends not to pay at all, you can always turn to trade unions and lawyers. But not now. The advice now I think is to stay still. The oracle says

'Marrying maiden. Setting out to bring order - pitfall.
No direction brings harvest.'

Bring order would be being paid. It's not the time.

Some people say the Image counts more in unchanging hex, but I don't fully understand this one:

'Above the lake, there is thunder. Marrying maiden.
The noble one perpetually flows through endings
To know what is flawed.'

The Marrying Maiden describes following a path you can't alter or fast forward so perhaps it means your attitude should be that you intend to just keep following her directions/excuses and to not be put off. That is, when she says she'll meet with you and then says she can't don't sit back and wait but get after her, call and say, "What's the plan now?" Don't give up.

Also I think it's a good idea to get your friend who originally got you the job involved. The Image, "The noble one perpetually flows through endings to know what is flawed" sounds like the lady may have done this sort of thing before so your friend may know how to deal with her or at least the friend should be informed so as not to recommend her again.

You should insist and tell her she needs to keep her obligation to pay you. If you can undo the job you did then I would use that as leverage. Try to keep any emotion out of it and remind her of the exact conversation and agreement you had and keep telling her. Two of my adult children told me recently, when someone keeps getting in your face you just do what you can to make them go away.....so get in her face.

Thank you for your advices!
It's difficult to explain the situation well, because my English is very very Basic
As Rosada suggested, I didn't give up, but I told the lady, when I was available and I met her.
I took care of their 2 Dogs, 14 Cats and 2 guinea pigs, while they were on honey Moon.
She told me that they weren't happy with my work and she told me some things, but that aren't True. I asked her to show me some pictures about what she said ( because I'm sure I made things in the best possibile way) , but she haven't pictures.
Only one thing was true, but when it happened, I texted to warn her. And now her answer was:I don't remember, I didn't read it.
At the end while I left her home I told her: shame on you!
Because she gave me only half the money agreed.

If your work really had been the problem she would not have put you off. She would have told you right away. So we know she is not an honest person. So sorry this happened to you!
Well, look at it this way, now you know what 54. uc. means!

I think with 54 it was not the right time to act.

Remember you can always go and report that to your local Working Institution or such. Trade unions or similar. A letter from a lawyer usually does the job.

I don't know where you're from but there is no need to have a proper formal job with a signed contract in my country to get what you need. Actually if they didn't employ you as they should have, they risk a fine.
