new job - hex 23

[wavfreak]

Hi all,

after having to accept a lousy job, now i have been offered a better paid one.
So i asked ic:
what can i expect from this job if i accept it
ic returned:
hex 23 uc

from what i could find in similar readings it could mean that i still have to
tie the knots on the old job...
but overall does not looks like a good sign...

thanks in advance for your help.

More preparation. Do you know everything you will need to know for the new job?

What kind of a job is this? Like, what will you be doing?

"There is a personal perspective that will last, regarding communication. Expression of a lot of change and the start of a lot of new things. We learn what we have to take with us for going to a next phase." This is by frank_r. I found this to be interesting, and thought it may be of some help.

Also, again depending on what kind of work you will actually be doing... "In a context of devotion we utilize discernment." and... "PO : flay, peel skin; remove, uncover, degrade, split, slice; reduce to essentials; slaughter an animal. The ideogram : knife and carve, trenchant action." This was given by lightofreason, Chris. Both can be found here, in the "Memorizing The Iching" started by Rosada on Hexagram 23.


So you can put these things together, possibly with the kind of work that will need to be done at the new job. What will it be like? Example: You will have to uncover evidence, like a police officer. Or you will have to slice fruit and vegetables. Or slaughter animals if you're a butcher. Or get to the bottom of the piles, clean up the environment to reveal the true essence, like a yard man might do, or a housekeeper, or even a new administrative worker, that needs to get through the files and papers left behind, and organize the place a bit. Or your job will be to bring things out into the open, through communication, like an insurance agent, or an inspector. You'll need to use the skills you already possess. See, it's not all bad. You just have to see what the answer may be saying to you, through your own reflection.

How can you make it fit, with what you currently know about the new job and what will be required of you in your day to day work?

It is not advantageous to go anywhere when you get hex 23 . . . If this was my reading, I wouldn't take the new job. Something about it that means collapsing or being stripped of strength.

 

[blue_angel]

That's what I thought initially too. But then I thought... well he didn't ask if he should take it. He asked what can he expect from it. And true, it could very well mean it will strip him of strength. But I thought of the small possibility he's being shown his actual task with in the job. Like a butcher or something. Only because it would be cool if it was showing that.

And since he is already leaving a lousy job, it would be nice for him to have a better one. At least it pays better. But if you're going to lose your strength, I suppose you have to weigh your options. I wonder if in losing his strength, it means he will be expected to work too hard, to the point of collapsing. Or that his boss will be demeaning and overpowering etc. How important would better pay be with that in consideration. I guess it depends on his circumstances... Just pondering along...

That's what I was thinking: he'll be expected to work too hard, to the point of collapsing. (Yet it was interesting reading your other options, Blue Angel.)

R.L. Wing says of 23uc: "When Deterioration is received without changing lines it implies a situation for which there is little hope ... "

I go along with Wing's interpretation.

Thank you all!

I've yet to attend some interviews and so no follow ups regarding this thread.
After reading your interpretations, i was a bit scared, but then again it's the usual
conundrum: if you follow the (Yi) advice you feel like having no autonomy, if you don't,
why ask in the first place.

Hello friend:
It seems that the new job is not a good choice for you.
For Hex 23, I translate its name as "Be battered and peeled off", from the description of this hex, your new job is actually a lousy job(such as cleaning up the waste, mining in the hill and so on). What is the suggestion of I Ching? "You'd better not keep move forward". Obviously, I Ching does not think it is a good job for you.

You don't lose your autonomy in following Yi's advice. I think one way you can overcome the feeling that you're losing your autonomy is by doing daily readings. Ask for advice on a daily basis for awhile. You will see what's what.

You're receptive to your new independence. This is a narrow passage that may refer to unemployment.
