Hexagram 11 unchanging: does it mean be patient?

Okay so I keep asking the I Ching about my work/career. Things are in flux. I'm desperate to make change happen and find meaningful work, and have started doing so, but things are uncertain and I'm scared of change in case it's for the worst. This morning I asked a question about what to do now at work, and got 64.5 changing to 6. Then I asked just now 'What can I do to bring about positive change in my work life' and got 11 unchanging.

I do feel a bit like there's a whole tide of interesting work out there and I want to jump in, but I'm scared and don't know what direction to go in. I feel like my boat is lifting off the rocks but I might just end up grounded again. I'm waiting to hear about a job interview I had this week which didn't go very well. What is the I Ching trying to tell me with Hexagram 11?

It's not a stretch to consider patience as part of 11's attribute. I'll receive it sometimes when it feels as though the Yi is saying sshhh, everything is ok, relax, breathe.

However, there is also an agricultural application, and things are expected to flourish during the 11 process. Heaven (below) is ready and able to assist earth (above), but earth must also do her part to bear fruit. It is a joint effort.

Thanks for that reply, it feels very meaningful and beautiful. I'm still not quite sure what I should be doing - that's what the question was asking, and the answer seems to be that things are working out with what I'm doing at the moment?

I think it's saying to relax, let go and trust heaven to lift. That's how to bring about positive change in your work. But you are also heaven to their earth, and they need to trust you. In 11, opposites are moving toward one another, engaging, intercourse-ing, and then passing one another by - because of the nature of their direction - until 12 is reached, where they part, and continue along their own way. So the time of unity could be taken fair advantage of, to grow a garden or have a kid, receive a promotion or discover a talent.
