yes/no question: 38.4>41

[lotty]

If a certain thing will happen, that does not depend on me, but by the decision of others, my earnings will increase a little '....

I did what I had to do but the final decision lies elsewhere.

So, even to make a small test trial , I asked, I will get this bonus?

And the answer 38.4> 41
it is just hard for me to understand!

38 - OPPOSITION. In small matters, good fortune.

4 ^ 38: Isolated through opposition,
One meets a like-minded man
With whom-one can associate in good faith.
Despite the danger, no blame.

41 - DECREASE combined with sincerity
Brings about supreme good fortune
Without blame.
One may be persevering in this.
It furthers one to Undertake something.

4 ^ 41: If a man deceases His faults,
It makes the other hasten to come and rejoice.

Both OPPOSITION and DECREASE make me think of a negative outcome.

But the elements stated above, are not negative ...

However, if the book would signal a positive outcome, there were certainly more immediate hexagrams in this sense ... :? ::? ::?:

what do you think?

Will I get this bonus?
38.4 > 41

I don't think the hexagrams are inherently inauspicious, but since I don't see a suggestion of gain in them, not at this time but later after more preparation.

thanks for your answer ... a curiosity ... what are the hexagrams that suggest a gain?

The hexagrams that contain the trigram xun, which also suggests care and management.
