Please advise if I work at CG again, 50.1.6 to 34

"Please advise if I work at CG again?" and Yi's answer, 50.1.6 to 34.

I have two on call/ casual jobs and another lined up to start soon - both pay well when I get work, but it has been a while.

So I wondered if I should go back to work at a place where I can choose my hours and back out at short notice if necessary.

I asked the above in context of what it would be like for me and how it would affect me working at said place again.

50.1.6 to 34 cauldron/vessel to great vigour sounds positive - turning things upside down, emptying myself and making a sacrifice of some sort for my family in some ways that leads to good fortune as my virtue is recognized?

Anyone perceive something else out of this casting?
Thank you,
From me

Can someone please have a look at this, I do appreciate the perspective of others and will be grateful for any additional insights, even if not what I want to hear. I'm open minded and not usually easily offended (if I haven't slept, I go a bit funny - but I've been well tested lately )

When I got 50.1.6 > 34 about work applications, in both cases I didn't get the job. Perhaps the emptiness of 50.6 (an amazing cauldron, but without food) shows the negative result. 34 is hopeful in that you'll be perfectly able to find something else.

Hello!

Yes it sounds positive...
Hexagram 50: "Liu:The Cauldron. Great good fortune. Success."
50.1: "Liu: A cauldron overturned by its legs -- it is beneficial to clean out the stagnating matter. One takes a concubine to get a son. No blame." It's good to leave the other jobs that aren't financially secure. Maybe it's not your ideal to come back to your previous job, however it gives you what you need, so it's OK to take it.

50.6: "Liu: The cauldron has carrying rings of jade. Great good fortune. Benefit in everything." Everything seems good. The retaken job will provide you a solid foundation for progress.

You will be Powerful(34) at this work.

Good Luck!

I ended up only being able to work at the old job for one week before my other 2 jobs which I enjoy more got me busy again ��

34. Describes a situation where the energies are stabilizing. Think 33. Is retreating and 35 is moving forward so in between we have 34 is a situation where we are have stopped retreating and are not yet moving ahead. So it seems to fit with your reading as the job was a nice stop gap between the time when your old job was “retreating” and when it started “moving forward” again.

Maybe 50.6 indicates that the job was a bit of a blessing even though it wasn’t necessarily the glorious experience the literal translation of the line seems to imply.
