Greetings,
I have worked in the same industry for 30 years and just took an entry level job doing something completely different. Yesterday I attended an optional training session where I think I may have done something that offended others but I'm not sure. Feeling highly emotional on the ride home I pulled over and did an impromptu reading in the car:
"Please give me a picture of how my training session with XYZ went today."
I Ching responded with hexagram 56.1.4>22.
Possible interpretation: during this transitional period (56) I am hindering my progress by fixating on trivial matters (56.1) even though I have everything I really need to succeed (56.4) and have been trying as hard as I can to behave with grace (22).
Is this a self-serving interpretation? How do others see 56.1.4>22? I have received great advice here before and welcome any viewpoints. Honestly, I felt shattered yesterday and I'm having trouble thinking rationally about this subject. The new job potentially represents a huge transition and it has triggered a lot of self-doubt and emotion. Thanks for any input!
Hi Equinox, please don't apologize! I really appreciate your thought-provoking interpretations. Over the years I've noticed that people seem to think I'm judging them even though I'm not so I do project some type of weird energy that affects people that way. Maybe you picked up on it. For instance, recently I arrived for an optometrist appointment and no one was there. I stood by the front door enjoying the morning sunlight, thoroughly content, until the receptionist showed up about 5-10 minutes late. I didn't mind at all that she was late but she was extremely defensive and seemed to feel that I was judging her. Situations like that come up in my life a lot, really a lot. I've developed a terrible habit of constantly trying to reassure people and I think it just comes across as patronizing. Or maybe desperate. The past decade has been very challenging and this new job seems to represent some type of tipping point for me.
I had intended to do some practice work on the office computer today but a 5.4 reading on the subject deterred me from that. In all likelihood I am waaaay overthinking this job as well as way over-preparing for it.
