Help with interpreting destiny - career/art

[Viperbunni]

Hi there, my whole life i've gone to art school but have been told that it isn't a viable career option relentlessly, I am 27. I've also been told i am too old to do so. I am heavily involved in luxury fashion and film communities and know many artists. I am about to go to interior design school, designing comes easily to me. When I make art i struggle to share it because I feel exposed and question if any of it is good as I have a lot of people watching me. I asked if being an artist is my destiny

I got great taming followed by great possesion - any insight would be lovely x
I am new here

26 changing to 14

H26 is Mountain above Heaven
In H26, the creativity of Heaven is covered by Mountain, as if it were a lid hence the name Great Accumilation.
Trigram Heaven is about creativity, being an authority in something, but also to take charge.

The upper trigram Mountain turns into Fire because of the moving yin line in the 4th position.
Mountain out of balance is about being too strict with yourself, limiting yourself too much. The moving yin line at the 4th position shows a too passive attitude, hesitating, being too dependent on the environment, whereas here there are plenty of opportunities to bend the situation to your own will and exert influence.
Fire advises being visible and having a clear and definite goal with regard to yourself.
In H14, the creativity, the ideas of Heaven are made visible by Fire.

Of course, the Yi does not give a direct yes or no answer, but indirectly I would see this answer as a Yes to your question, provided you really put yourself into it and disregard the opinions of others.

This would be my interpretation. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest

I like that Wilhelm writes for 26 something like the superior man doesn't allow himself to be trapped by the past but learns from it in order to shape his character and his future.

26 <> 14 is perhaps putting this theme of 26 into a context of 14 where strength and clarity unite to give you the power to achieve 'supreme success'. Promote what you see as good in your life for you, and not what others see as being good for you and you won't put a foot wrong. If art is what you want to promote, then I guess that becomes your destiny.

... of course, there may be other interpretations that give you clearer understanding.

Good Luck
