I am in the middle of negotiating a job move. The hourly rate I'm proposing to counter offer is $37 or higher. So I asked "what if I counter offer with $37/hr" and received 41.2.3.5 > 37.
Based on the essays/forums I could find on this site for interpretation, 41 Decrease sounds like I would have less, though overall no true net loss. "What is below is decreased to the benefit of what is above... a decrease in the prosperity of the people in favor of the government is out and out decrease." It sounds like it wouldn't be a true loss, however I'd be decreasing my prosperity in favor of the business?...which nonetheless brings good fortune per the judgement.
The first two changing lines 2 and 3 sound like it's not good. To undertake brings misfortune, and then somehow 3 people are involved and jealousy arises. I suppose the 3-person situation could represent myself, this job offer, and my current boss...maybe? The last line, line 5, regardless sounds incredibly fortunate. Like the Divine will step in and provide good fortune and luck is on my side.
The relating hex 37 of Family could be me relating to this answer in terms of family needs and how my finances are involved in that. I have 2 kids and no financial support aside from myself, so making sure I have enough to feed/shelter/etc them is top priority in these negotiations.
But then I asked, "what if I counter offer $38/hr" and received 50.5.6 > 28.
50 The Cauldron suggests supreme fortune and success. Even the Image commentary seems auspicious "Fire over wood: The image of The Cauldron. Thus the superior man consolidates his fate by making his position correct."
Lines 5 and 6 seem very auspicious as well. "The ting has yellow handles, golden carrying rings. Perseverance furthers," and "The ting has rings of jade. Great good fortune. Nothing that would not act to further" suggest to me my attitude will bring strong and able helpers, but I must beware of the need to hold strong in my position.
The relating hexagram 28 Preponderance of the Great sounds like I'm relating to this reading as a temporary situation? Although my attitude towards this amount is correct and in alignment?...I really struggle with the relating hex's.
Any help interpretation of comparing what counter offering with $37 vs $38, I greatly appreciate. Thanks!
