Dearest people, first of all thank you so much for taking time and reading this. Secondly I am sorry if I make grammar mistakes, I am not an English native person. However, I do work in English, and I have a huge respect for I Ching and all people who can read it.
My situation shortly: I am currently in a working place (let's call it place-A). It is for me a carrier-change, so a new challenge. Not easy.. I am not sure if I should change. Even though it seems like a place where I can learn this new profession - if I am ready to put humility, patience and time in it. And now there is a new opportunity (place-B). It is a bigger thing, bigger money, however not exactly the new thing I am about to learn. Similar, but not the same. So I asked iching: what shall I expect if I stay? Where would that lead me to? What shall I expect in 3 months time? I got 52 with the changing lines of 1; 2; 6 that lead me to 11. (52. 1.2.6. >> 11)
Then I asked the flip side (a few hours later): what if I choose Place-B? What would happen if I choose that path? What would happen to me? Please show me the other side. And it gave me... 14 with changing lines 2 and five >> 1. (14.2.5. >>1)
Two amazing messages, I am super confused. I am close to tears. Please help me out in here.
I really would like to build up my new carrier in a new position. The Place A is ... full of challenges, not easy. I feel like I am facing my most challenging parts here. So I am probably evolving. The other one, Place B is promising a better financial opportunity and a bigger professional responsibility but also is much much much more corporate. Much more overwork, etc.
I do not know what i Ching is saying. WHat do you think? Please help me if you can, Thank you in advance :)
If this topic is not suitable here, or I made too much mistakes when typing, I am sorry.

replying to boost your post to the top :) Of these two, it honestly hard for me to choose which one.

52.1.2.6 > 11 looks to be about stillness leading to flow. So, it does not always feel easy to stay where you are but you are essentially practicing patience, presence, and turning back toward yourself. 11 being there as well seems to say the stillness is not permanent of course. A lot of it is about the quality of your time spent waiting. How can you make the most of it and allow it to be beautiful and useful to you.

14.2.5 > 1 looks challenging. 14 and 1 are both “good” hexagrams in many ways but I do think both are challenging and demand a lot. A lot is being asked of you so it depends a great deal on how much you truly want to give. I think this one demands more but in a very different way. It demands more work and energy. [I thought that 14.2.5 > 1 looked strange and then forgot to check before I interpreted. @my_key is correct below that 14.2.5 would change to 13 — I’m curious if the lines are incorrect or the resulting? If you can check your result and let us know!]
First cast demands more restraint and patience.

[Hidden line would remain the same] I do look at the hidden lines as well and the only one that stood out as maybe of concern came in this cast, line 30.5. “Shaughnessy: Going out with tears as if streaming and grief as if sighing; auspicious.” The commentaries on this line tend toward talking about growing pains. That there is challenge but it is also growth and turns out ok in the end. However, it obviously does include lamentation.

Not everyone works with the line pathways or hidden lines so it’s up to you if you wish to include that information

All around, I think eventually you will move on regardless. The stillness of 52 gives way to movement, it seems, or to finding ways to be where you are. The second choice is more challenging and very energetic. Maybe it is more a matter of which type of work you want to do right now, mainly “work” in the sense of your own growth.

52: meaning 'stilling it'
6: meaning 'there are no connections'

If you stay in your position you can expect to continue being held in a place without any real connectivity for you (6). You will feel bound and tied (52) and just remain siting with more of the same old, same old.

What if I choose Place-B? What would happen if I choose that path? What would happen to me? Please show me the other side. And it gave me... 14 with changing lines 2 and five >> 1. (14.2.5. >>1)

Note: 14.2.5 does not change to 1. I'll assume the primary hexagram is right, so I'll just comment on 14.

14: meaning 'The Great Being gathers the crowds'

Here in Place B you will have to rein in your views, compromise in some way but it may well feel it is a worthwhile compromise that could lead to an overall positive change.

... or it might mean nothing like that at all.

Good Luck
