I am an experienced professional, but lost my job during the pandemic. Last month, I noticed a job posting that I felt excited about and that was a great fit for my qualifications and experience. However, the job is outside my country and I cannot relocate for personal reasons. But given the pandemic and growing work-from-home conditions, I applied anyway asking to be considered for a remote working arrangement (this is primarily a writing job). After I applied, I asked the Iching if I would get the job and got the hexagram 55 unchanging. It's been 6 weeks, and apart from an acknowledgement of receipt of my application, I have not heard from the company. Can someone please interpret this reading for me? Thank you!

The judgment of 55 reads (in the WB translation): "Abundance has success. The king attains abundance. Be not sad. Be like the sun at midday."

Perhaps this suggests that you should reach out to them in a friendly but confident manner, as a king would? The omen does seem auspicious, but perhaps you have to act in accordance with it...

Just wanted to post an update. I did not get this job. I thought 55 unchanging was a favourable one, but did not turn out so on this occasion.

Thank you pamelavaris for you update!

55 might also be a consolation. Maybe it means something like: "Don't be sad (if you don't get it). Don't mind. you really need this?". Maybe this job wouldn't have been as favourable as you might have guessed ...

All the best!

Agreed with the mandarin_23, 55uc doesn't always indicate "abundance", at least not in a wish-fulfillment sense. It sometimes indicate something has reached its peak, after which there is an inevitable decline. And yes the consolation is not to be sad about it, but perhaps stoically except that reality. Check the UC thread about 55uc

The cast was specifically about the job opportunity, so it could have been saying your likelihood of getting it had peaked —maybe someone glanced over your resume— and it wouldn't go higher than that.

It could be helpful to ask something like "What will be the outcome of this job interview/application?" Yes/no questions can be difficult to interpret.
