How? Seeking Nourishment - Good changes 27-14

[tabitha]

Hi -

I just did a reading because I just finished school, and am not working presently.

I asked about what to do about finding work, and got 27.2.3.4 - 14.

27 seems spot on, but the changing lines are confusing to me, and I could not find them in the hexagram search.

I am glad the resulting hexagram is 14 - but am confused about the actions I might take to bring these changes about.

Please let me know what you see if you can? Thanks

The big picture is a mouth, 27. In this is 14, many possessions, yin line possesses yang. Look into a restaurant/bartending/retail position.

Hmm, the question was what to do about finding work, so I can see how you could end up suggesting hospitality work, but just as easily one could suggest volunteering, social work - in others words, taking care of other people - providing nourishment for them.

Here's what I see:
27.2 - you are being supported financially by someone but you don't want this to continue, and you should make every effort to get on your own feet
27.3 - madly pursuing nourishment, don't do this, is what this line is all about. Without knowing more about the situation, I'm going to have to go on a limb here - you are looking for a job for the wrong reasons, or you are looking for particular jobs that only satisfy your feelings of gratification (are you aiming too high with the jobs you are applying for or want to apply for?). Either way, stop, major bad news for you to continue like this.
27.4 - and finally some advice too - network with the everyone you know, you never know what might come up once you let them know that you're looking for a job.
I think 14 may be offering a background in this case, meaning that you have a lot to offer, but you are going about this in the wrong way.

Good luck to you!
