I am considering going on a two month externship after I graduate. I could use a little help. I am thrown off by the changing hexagram. Thank you
Your reading resulted in the following hexagrams:
changing to
1 6
Hexagram 1, Creative Force
Key Questions
How can you liberate creative energy?
What wants to be created?
Oracle
'Creative Force.
From the source, creating success.
Constancy bears fruit.'
This is the pure creative spirit that flows through people and events: it drives towards manifestation, an inspiration that wants to be realized.
It begins with an opening to the source of the creative impulse – not plans or intentions, but the vital energy that powers them. Then you create success by sustaining a continuous, two-way flow between source and action. You step into the heart of a process of creation, welcome its momentum and find ways to join and work with it.
Through constancy, this brings out intrinsic potential and yields a harvest of positive results. To be constant is to be true to your intent, faithfully aligning all your choices with your original vision, and carrying your understanding through in practice and over time.

A noble one in his own strength does not pause.'
Pair
Hexagram 1 is paired and contrasted with Hexagram 2, creative Heaven with the receptive Earth. They are the cosmic father and mother.
'Creative Force is firm, the Earth is open.'
Changing Lines
Line 1
'Dragon underwater – don't act.'
Line 3
'Noble one creates and creates to the end of the day,
At nightfall on the alert, as if in danger.
No mistake.'
Hexagram 6, Arguing
Key Questions
What are you arguing for?
If you can't win this one, what else can you do?
Oracle
'Arguing.
There is truth and confidence, blocked.
Vigilant and centred, good fortune. Ending, pitfall.
Fruitful to see great people,
Fruitless to cross the great river.'
You argue for what you need – for sustenance, or to be believed, or simply for justice – for you know in your bones that things are not as they should be. Yet no matter how deep and true your convictions, you find yourself frustrated, and your sense of being in resonance and connected with the world is choked off. It's important, now, to centre yourself in vigilance – in a heart open and alert to all the potentials for change, so you stay poised and capable of responsive movement in any direction. To freeze into a combative, defiant posture, holding onto your sense of wrongness to the bitter end, would not resolve conflict but only establish it in perpetuity. When frustrated and blocked, you need to see great people – those whose higher perspective enables them to see beyond the argument to a larger truth. Perhaps you can find that shift in perspective within yourself; perhaps you need to consult with someone wiser, who is outside the conflict. Meanwhile, it's fruitless to commit yourself further to your position out of sheer defiance.

'Heaven joins with stream, contradictory movements: Arguing.
A noble one, starting work, plans how to begin.'
Sequence
Arguing follows from Hexagram 5, Waiting:
'Drinking and eating naturally mean Arguing.'
