new job thoughts - hexagram 1.3 changing to 10

[yinwithjim]

My ongoing "struggles" with employment continues. I have asked Yi about me leaving my current situation due to the physicality of the position and my aging bones and body --> https://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/index.php?threads/leaving-a-job-23-unchanging.33761/

unsure whether or not I have ever shared this fact - I have lived with a medical condition for the last 30+ years that in 1999 put my on full disability here in the U.S. which means that I receive a monthly SSDI check, but like most, the monthly check does not keep a roof over my head and the lights and heat on. So, I work part-time - able to earn about $1000 per month gross to supplement my SSDI. Part-time service industry work which I currently do provides a fraction of that and it's literally killing me.

My former career entailed data management in the health care industry. One of the "benefits" of the COVID pandemic is that many jobs that required relocation and in-person type of work are now remote. Doing a quick search in LINKEDIN I found a number of positions that are part-time and remote and that I am qualified for.

A question for Yi rose up and I asked - what about me going back to a research data type of job part-time?

I received hexagram 1.3 changing to 10.

The Wilhelm translation gives us, "When an individual draws this oracle, it means that success will come to him from the primal depths of the universe and that everything depends upon his seeking his happiness and that of others in one way only, that is, by perseverance in what is right." - which makes sense - finding a part-time position remote or otherwise where i am "doing good" for the world and it's inhabitants has always been important to me - money or not.

Changing line 3 makes a lot of sense as well - first, the immediate excitement I felt when I saw the various positions my crazy head could very easily become consumed with "what ifs" - and second, the process of actually applying/interviewing and even accepting a position with more responsibility would easily have my mind and soul working overtime.

The resulant hexagram 10 - the wiki wing statement “i’m concerned about missteps, about doing the wrong thing, I need to tread carefully so as not to lose patience and get really ratty” - follows well with this situation and question for me.

Of course trying to "contain my brain" and stay firmly planted on the ground - I wonder - "I'm about to be 60 and have all that I really do I need, so, do I need to proceed?

Have a wonderful day and your comments and insights are always appreciated

Hex 1 advocates that you use your own personal powers and all your dragon energy to work through the creative tensions that hold you right now. Hex 10 points to a wider meaning for you of moving away from where you sit now - both job wise and perhaps even the mental contortions that you seem to be putting yourself through.

You are being given opportunity in and around line 1.3 to find a point of firmness (solid ground) where you can feel the tensions between the thresholds of emotion and your outer world and still step forward holding a clear evaluation of your talents and abilities and with an understanding of how best to utilise them.


... or it might mean nothing like this for you.

Good Luck

1.3 makes me think you may need to do some retraining to bring your skills up to speed. 10 could represent an employment agency that helps you find the right position.
Looks positive!
