OK, this looks like a big fat NO to me, but I feel so muddled on everything on this front that I need another opinion.
My job is no longer really workable now that I'm a mother, for a multitude of reasons, the most insurmountable being that they are unwilling to honor a prior work from home commitment they made, and they have have added more projects onto my job while I was on leave, to the point that it simply doesn't compute—there is no human way to get the work finished in a standard 40 hour week. Perhaps all this is a deliberate ploy to get rid of me (I'm the only mother on staff, and one of the few women), but whatever the case, it's time to go.
Others who have left FT work with them have continued on as project-based freelancers, and my boss has previously said this would likely be an option for me. (Though he's previously said a lot of things and not honored his word, so who knows.) That said, I've watched it work out to be a bad deal most of the time—the freelancers are pushed to work more than they're paid for, and so on.
I asked if Yi had any commentary about me continuing on as a freelancer and, good grief, I drew 27.1.6->2.
I can only remember one previous 27.1 in my 15 years of divining, and it was an odd one: I was about 19, and had ended up at a party where a married man several decades older was making passes at me. Someone mentioned that I used the I Ching, and he asked me to do a reading for him. Awkwardly, feeling like I had no way out of the situation, I did, and he drew this line; he then revealed had made the question about his chances with me
. I guess it was a nice comeuppance towards him from Yi. I told him it was a very inauspicious line and he should focus elsewhere.
Anyway, that's all a very tangential way of mentioning the the only time 27.1 has ever appeared for me, that I recall, out of many thousands of castings since. And it was not for me, per se.
And now here it is. I think I understand the line to be about envy, letting your gaze be pulled away by distracting and alluring things for hollow reasons that lead to pitfall, and loss of your core self (magic tortoise/spirit tortoise).
BUT wikiwing on this is a bit different, and seems to show when people pursue things that they don't actually need, out of the sense they do or that something has been lost. So, not the envy angle so much. This thread is linked to as an example: https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?19014-Another-quot-lost-quot-object-27-1
Is Yi telling me I don't need this freelance work from them?
27.6 is about setting out to do the work while under a cloud of danger of some kind; nevertheless it's worth trying, there's something worth doing in this and the work as a whole is worth it. Yes? No?
I previously received 27.6 on Monday to the question, "Advice on dealing with my duplicitous boss this week?" I interpreted it to mean I should keep going and not let his flaws impact my work for the week.
Unclear about 2 in this context.
Thoughts anyone? Should I just cut my losses and get out of there?
Very grateful to anyone who has time to help!
