It's the first time I ever publish a reading. I hope it will work out fine.
I asked this question: 'what if I create my own job keeping this one too?'
I ended a relationship not long ago and need to make some more money. My actual job pays the bills and that's it. It's not easy to find a part-time job because I have a son (9) and no family or friends around to help. So I thought I might have my own company and work online. Keeping my job that pays the bills, I would have this website working and eventually making some good money out of it.
My answer was:
5.2.5 to 36.
I'll copy/pat it all here, I hope this is the right way to do it, so people can help, maybe, with this reading...I'm not sure hexagram 36 is a good one...is it?
PS: I'm portuguese, sometimes I do not fully understand the meaning of some words...I guess.
Thank you all for trying to help.

Key Questions
How can you wait patiently and with commitment?
While you wait, how can you best make yourself ready?
Oracle
‘Waiting, with truth and confidence.
Shining out, creating success: constancy brings good fortune.
Fruitful to cross the great river.’
You wait for what you need, like a farmer waiting for the weather to change. This is not a passive state; you can dance for rain, influence events by bringing yourself into harmony with the outcome you need. But you cannot force this, you can only attend to it. You will need patience: it may all take much longer than you had imagined. When you are fully present in waiting, your intense attention shines out like a beacon, beginning a creative engagement with the world – not by working on anything, but by waiting on it and holding your faith.
And in crossing the river, committing yourself to go as far as you can towards what you’re waiting for, you begin the transition into the world where it is real.

‘The clouds are above heaven: Waiting.
A noble one eats, drinks and relaxes with music.’
Sequence
Waiting follows from Hexagram 4, Not Knowing:
‘Young things cannot do without nourishment, and so Waiting follows. Waiting means the way of eating and drinking.’
Pair
Waiting forms a pair with Hexagram 6, Arguing:
‘Waiting means no progress, Arguing means no connection.’
Changing Lines
Line 2
‘Waiting on the sands, there are small words.
In the end, good fortune.’
Line 5
‘Waiting with food and drink.
Constancy, good fortune.’
Hexagram 36, Brightness Hidden
Key Questions
When no one is looking, who are you?
How do you safeguard that light?
Oracle
‘Brightness hidden.
Constancy in hardship bears fruit.’
In the last days of the Shang dynasty as it fell into corruption, Prince Ji was one of the very few virtuous men remaining at court. Remonstrating with the ruler would invite brutal retributions; to flee would be a shameful desertion.
The story goes that once, the king and his entourage were so drunk they literally didn’t know what day it was. Messengers were sent to ask Ji. Rather than reveal himself as the only one who knew, he feigned drunkenness and madness. In this way he was able to survive through the last days of Shang without compromising his principles by cooperating with the regime.
‘Brightness Hidden’ also means ‘Brightness Wounded’. Since others do not share your standards or insight, it would be dangerous to let the light of your character shine out freely. Perhaps you have been injured; perhaps you fear injury. Yet you cannot, or will not, leave the situation in search of a stronger position. Instead, you stay true to the light and keep it burning in these hard times by hiding it away.

‘Brightness enters the earth’s centre: Brightness Hidden.
A noble one, overseeing the crowds, uses darkness and light.’
Sequence
Brightness Hidden follows from Hexagram 35, Advancing.
‘Advancing necessarily has occasion for injury, and so Brightness Hidden follows; Brightness Hidden means injury.’
and Yi's answer, 5.2.5 to 36.
