Have a go at it - you can see what 5 is, read the lines. It is important to give your own take on it.If you don't read and write something about hexagram 5 then we would have to tell you which is silly because it is clear what 5 is called - also this generally is requested see sticky below so am not just picking on youhttps://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/fri...59-How-to-get-the-most-from-sharing-a-readingI think us older ones are better off because before the internet we had to sit and think about our answers and couldn't just hop online for someone to read for us. You have a first class degree you can read something of this I'm sure. I'd feel a bit silly saying 'well hexagram is all about......' to someone who can open a book, or look around here, and see what it's called and what it's about.It's an interesting answer but one that definitely requires your participation in interpretation to unravel.
Sorry i can't seem to create paragraphs on this!
Waiting is asking for the small steps in the job direction, so i don't overwhelm myself by thinking about the whole process, as that kicks in my resistance, and i worry about it's effect on my personal energy. Returning is where those small steps accumulate to find momentum at a certain point down the road
2) Waiting also feels like doing something with active intention where you have a desire to reach the goal. I read somewhere, Waiting as perseverance, consistency, uncompromising strength in a cautious manner, to slowly dissolve obstacles. The thing is, with this kind of waiting, you have a great desire to reach the goal ultimately, and with my great resistance to job seeking, i don't know if i can apply the Waiting in this manner.
3) Going back to point two however, what if my desire builds and resistance lessens, the more i am engaged in Waiting with Returning as a catalyst, where Returning says to slowly build up strength in this direction.
4) More context: Me and my sister will be leaving our family for good mid to late 2019, moving somewhere completely different. I'm wondering if Waiting is asking to take action for a job when my circumstances have changed.

Returning i read somewhere is about recovery, and how everything returns to it's opposite. So with increase and decrease, the decrease could be now, for increase and momentum to be sought in the job searching later. Returning also as recuperation in the now, with Waiting as holding intention but not necessarily taking action.[/indent][indent
When it comes to responding at the current time to help with job seeking by going into Uni and seeking careers advice, i wonder also if Waiting is saying not to respond as different circumstances may come in time, which also support the overall intention/direction of job seeking, but to at least keep the intention. Returning is saying likewise recuperate for now, seek less, and you will be prepared for seeking more, for returning to the intention when new influences/circumstances come in.
I don't find it an easy one to interpret but my first thought was the same as what you have writtenYes I agree with you there. Just reading your first post, Yi aside for a moment, I think I could relate to that feeling of overwhelm which is I think something younger people suffer more from because having a whole life ahead they tend to see everything in terms of a really big picture. Well I could relate anyway as I think I had those similar kinds of thought -'there's no point doing that if in the end XY or Z will happen'. Some say younger people only think of right now but I think there's this other dimension where they project so far into the future and also think in terms of their lives theoretically, more abstractly in a way because it's all still a wide open book but it is a pressure in itself. So there is certainly the sense of pressure and Yi gives you 5.2.3.5>24There's a lot about how to wait in 5 and you are at least, in part, looking at line 5 also being advised to wait in a pleasurable confident way. I think primarily you aren't being advised to 'do' but to wait. My impression of the cast is that this waiting is to do with the process of an organic change (24)Neither hexagram has to do with active doing or taking initiative. Together in this reading, which taken as sentence is 'Waiting's Return' it appears to be something like attending on/waiting for a whole new cycle to begin.No one can make 24 happen. it's that moment of change the darkest hour before the dawn, the solstice period. So 24 is the very lowest point from which the light can return but we don't see spring coming on the solstice day do we ? Although the shortest day has passed and from there on each day the light grows more and more it's still a long Wait till spring. So what do we do meantime ?Well I think whilst this return - and I can't be sure what that is for you it could well be connected to the move in 2019 -is coming about, (and I think you are already in the process of it, and what is more I think you instinctively know it) Yi is advising you on how to go about attending on it and waiting for it. Hexagram 5 says that you must wait with truth and confidence, not anxiety. You can be sure of the return, there is no cause for anxiety. The Image says that one eats and drinks and listens to music as if nothing else mattered other than having a pleasant time. Do you think you could do that ?Do you think between now and the move next year you could do exactly what you felt like doing ? It might be you feel like making some money and doing an ordinary job for a while or it might be that you instead spend time exploring avenues you might see as leading to an alternative kind of employment that you spoke about.One thing you really do not need to worry about right now is the long term ramifications of your actions. Things are already prey well underway which is why you are waiting - your task is to decide how to wait and Yi says 'enjoy yourself'. In line 2 there is anxiety and a sense of shifting sands for sure but this ought not to worry you - Yi says these niggles are small in comparison to that which you wait upon.I think line 3 is what not to do. It's a warning not to let uncertainties drown you because then robbers can come whilst you are stuck in the mud and the mud would be an anxious state of indecision I think. It's okay, you can chill out, you mustn't let pressure force you into places you don't want to go. By line 5 you are actually taking pleasure in the moment as if tomorrow can take care of itself which is pretty much what you were saying here There is a rather large 'reset to zero' button going on your life (24) and I feel it's an organic reset, a life change that is going to happen as if destined, it's part of your organic life direction - for want of better words. Whilst that happens you need to wait in a good place in your head and you can do that by simply beginning to do things you quite like to do right now - never mind commitment , it's not as if anyone even has a 'job for life' these days anyway. Yi recommends things that take your mind off this waiting period and it also says you can afford to be confident that things will be okay.I'm not quite sure where you are getting increase and decrease from unless you mean the return of the light ? But yes I don't think now is the time to job search with a view to certain future developments- there's other stuff going on for you and it's quite deeply rooted in your own life path beyond this job or that job, this or that career path.Yes exactly, I have the feeling you have far more of an intuition about the direction of things for you right now than any career advisor. For sure I don't see Yi here asking you to set armies marching or stride forth or even be decisive, that way of being isn't right for you right now and you know it.It's not commitment phobia it's you being in tune with the flow of your life.:bows:
