Hello,
This is my first time posting, though I've been a long time reader and I'm very grateful for the wisdom and insight I've gleaned from reading members' posts and responses. I cast the I-ching a few consecutive times, each asking some general questions about my career trajectory. I've just completed my undergraduate degree older than most people do after a long stay in the hospital, and I've been working at a non-profit which is generally considered a bit of a resume stain in many fields. I'm making much less money than most of my peers, and I don't have many practical skills. I've also felt too overwhelmed to complete my applications for graduate school or start applying for new jobs. and it feels like this was my last chance to get my career back on track. I've also hit a rough patch in my relationship, my health has been on a major decline, and I've managed to alienate a lot of my friends in the past few months, so things are generally just looking bleak.
I asked the iching what was going to happen as my current job comes to an end in December (I'm not getting fired or quitting, that was just the pre-determined duration of the position).
I got 6.2 > 12
I asked what was coming up in the other struggling aspects of my life after this job ends
I got 23.3.4 > 56
I asked if there was any hope of things improving
I got 20.2.6 > 29
All of these seem fairly negative and I can't help but feel like I've messed things up beyond repair. It seems like I'm just destined to continue to fail in all the same ways and it's too late to improve my situation because I've let it stagnate for too long. Is there anybody who can tell me if I'm looking at this the wrong way? I might just be asking the wrong questions, but these hexagrams all point to things continuing to be terrible, regardless of what I've asked. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
