I asked the Yi, "What should I do to make a living?"
The reply -- Hexagram 49.4.5 changing to Hexagram 36.
So radical change is needed. Beyond that, I am stuck, especially on the meaning of Hex 36 as a background. Work in the dark? hahaha, just kidding.
are very encouraging I should do my own business as I have those skills and always seem to support somebody else who becomes the millionaire and I go on to the next disorganised entrepreneur and get him going. My daughter said today -- stop looking for people who need your help, help yourself first.

Your daughter's advice can be interpreted or supported by your reading. A change in government, you are believed. And that change could be from 36 - shining in the background on behalf of the boss and company, to a shining new skin, in the open, with the distinctive and recognizable stripes of a tiger.
I don't think this necessarily means owning and running your own company, though it might. I think it also could mean going from a supportive role to an assertive role, a front line player. You already have experience in it, speaking publically on behalf of whatever or whomever you are representing. One thing any smart company wants and needs is great representation.
Another possibility is, doing the same sort of thing, but in a more hidden way. That change goes in the opposite direction from what I wrote above. But if your true nature is more happy and satisfied working underground or behind the scenes, then the new you will become known, just re-realized.
I agree with your friends who say to aim high, but what is high to you, not to others. Sometimes the hardest part of the whole thing is deciding what we really want. Breaking out of yesterday begins with a lot of itching. Here, your lines appear to say that you're beyond that. You already have the qualifications to do a whole bunch of things. It's industry particulars that you might need to be schooled in. That's easy, so long as the newbie is open and hungry to learn about the company, products and customers. It's people skills and decision making, and the ability to work well while unsupervised; that's what a company is willing to pay good money for. Self motivation, the proverbial "self starter".
another thought is that either Yi says you first prioroty is the create a safe enviroment, or work in a safe setting to pay your bill till you 49
or
its what you have in mind, help those in a 36 position ( the vitality of their company is in danger) to 49.
confusing... i know
I get what you're saying Anemos. And it could honestly be either version. I think it's more likely the first though. Because I'm so tired right now and I have to recuperate if I'm going to be responsible for igniting the fuse myself. Also, I've thought of writing again and that is a one-person occupation no doubt. That would justify the Hex 36 perhaps.
I have two images they comfort me when I'm in a 36 state or I doubt about 49 rolleyes
thought to share them with you .
36.
49.
My daughter said today -- stop looking for people who need your help, help yourself first. Makes a good bumper sticker, but I know what she means. I am always running around looking for the "needy" and not seeing myself as in need of something better. It is a downhill road.

hi N!
have had that answer of yours in the back of my head ever since you posted it (I have a back room where I keep threads I want to answer to . . sometimes things take a long time, some others never happen and some flow spontaneously . . such is the nature of time for me I guess . . )
taking a cue from 36 . . . First thing that comes to mind in 36 is silence . . deep, dark, comforting silence . . no goading or urging, no outer voices, no fidgeting, no panic . . It's nice that people around you have their own ideas about what you should be doing and I'm guessing they mean good or see something you can't(?) but none of them voices is your own. It's in darkness and in silence that the self we put aside to listen or understand others can re-emerge. When John Cage went into an anechoic (soundproof) chamber he listened to his blood rushing and his nervous system operating . . I imagine they must have sounded as vast and varied as an opera in there . .
In darkness our eyes begin to see different sights . . are these similar to what Trojan 'observes' back in the Open Space thread? Do dreams breed in darkness? Have you left any room in your silence and darkness for these unheard ofs? Or, how do those slight moments before the curtain reveals the stage feel like?
36 I think also could be about the periphery, about not being on stage, although that does not necessarily mean you're being less of your true self . . I find that periphery often allows one more space to unfold and uncover parts of our self and be more whole . . then when our steps take us center stage there are less chances that we'll be blinded by the lights . .
49 is a life-long hexagram for me, it never stops, it never ceases, cells are always being re-generated, the cycle of our breath is incessantly renewing us inward and out, even if we don't see it or grasp it at all times, and often its hidden parts are the most fascinating and inspiring and creative . .
Maybe you should try to work in opera again, but more of a job -I'm assuming that- the opera is your chosen metaphor for your life . . we all have our own such metaphors albeit they function in different modes for each (for me for example, being aware that the curtain opens most often means I'm not there anymore, for others it might be the other way round . .). Thinking of all your recent threads, it sounds like you have been on the road to somewhere (and have you noticed how there's a 'downhill' expression that seems to be lurking in all of them, making its frowns upon you?)
I wish I could tell you 'what to do' or give you more practical advice . . instead I'm thinking that there is a 'you' voice that is working to reveal something but cannot be heard. In my eyes, it's more likely that you need to be like we do when we go to sleep and prepare or attend for the images and messages the cycle of your nighttime will inspire . . fully being there for them is what 49/36 sounds like to me . .
