Hello everyone
I was thinking of whether to apply for a position with a mining company. So, to allay my doubt, I ask the Yiching and cast the die. I received H16.6 with N39 and C35.
My assumption from the cast is that the position is so-so, and the chance of getting it is nil. Also, it has a lot of difficulties and problems (with the work) in the beginning but fine at the end hopefully. I could be wrong as my interpretation is not very good.
What's your take on it? Should I go for it even though my chance of getting it is zero? Suppose I got selected for the job, will I be happy for many years to come?
Cheers

The symbolism of 35 is auspicious for a mining company because of its association with a burrowing animal.

Hi Pocossin,
Nice to hear from you. It has been quite a while. Hope you're fine.
Thanks for your reply.
If C35 is auspicious for a mining company, it doesn't mean that it's auspicious for me, doesn't it?
Also, the casting doesn't say whether the job concerned is "smooth-sailing" - H16.6 and N39.
So, in your opinion, should I apply for it?
Cheers

Whether to apply for a position with a mining company?
16.6 > 35


☳ ☵ ☲
☷ ☶ ☷


☷ is ti (yourself). ☳ is yong (external situation). Since earth is the subject of wood, the trigrams of the cast hexagram are inauspicious. You are reluctant to adventure. However, the remaining trigrams are advantageous. ☷ leaks qi by ruling ☵, but ☷ and ☶ are its supporting friends. Also, fire (☲) consumes wood (☳) and is the parent of earth (☷) so ti is well supported in spite of initial difficulty. Your problem is internal forces, your diffidence in applying for this position. Your blockage (hexagram 39) is your unwillingness to be forced into a more active and public position, which, nevertheless, would aid your development. Persons are employed by a company because of what they can do for the company, not because of what the company can do for them. I think your skill in technical details would be advantageous for this company and you would be employed if you conveyed this to them. One proviso that isn't in the casting: much of the output of mining companies is being consumed by China's fantastic housing bubble. When this bubble bursts, there will be cutbacks and layoffs at mining companies.

what is 'C' and 'N' here :confused: 16.6 changes to 35. Maybe you mean the nuclear of 16 is 39 ?


16.6 shows excessive enthusiasm that is misdirected. However once one comes to earth and gets to grips with the reality then progress can be made.

An example. I had 16.6. on this occasion ; Once I was very excited over an agency interview believing I had been given a job at a certain place doing XYZ. However it turned out the job did not involve the things I thought it did. However the job was acceptable to me in the end it was just I had unrealistic expectations to start with.
I had thought I would be working in one college in certain classes but it turned out I could be sent to any college in the city. This was okay in the end.

So I think you may get the job but it may not be quite as you expect. So you do need a dose of reality about what it involves and if it is really for you. However once you have settled down a bit from the excessive enthusiasms of the line then reasonable progress can be made.

As practical advice then this line is telling you to stop projecting years ahead and go see what it is like there and see how you like it. Your imaginings about it are leading you astray. Come back to the reality and it looks okay.
Suppose I got selected for the job, will I be happy for many years to come?

This is the wrong question to be asking yourself at this point. You need to go and see what it is like. Apply and if selected for interview then go see what it involves. Then you will be a better position that all this imagining.

Results bring a change of heart,
No mistake'

Time to put the light on and see what's there.

Hi Trojina,
Thank you for your explanation.
Guess you're right - one has to eat an apple to see what an apple tastes like.
As you mentioned, once I get my teeth into it, I may enjoy the trip.
Cheers
