A male querent was going to attend a company interview the next day. He asked whether the interview would go smoothly and whether he could pass. Hexagram obtained: Kun to Zhen.
Judgment:
This hexagram was a typical image of frustration in a job interview. It showed the objective reality of facing strong competitors while the querent himself was in conflict with the position.
1. The broad image was extremely unfavorable: Six Clashes transforming into Six Clashes
Both the main hexagram, 2.Kun, and the transformed hexagram, 51.Zhen, are Six Clashes hexagrams.
In a job interview, the hoped-for result is mutual fit, acceptance, and successful hiring. Six Clashes is one of the most unfavorable structures for this kind of question, because it represents separation, conflict, rejection, and scattering.
Here, Six Clashes transformed into Six Clashes. From the broad image alone, this already indicated that the job search would end in separation and that the interview would not succeed.
2. The host and corresponding sides were in conflict: descendants holding the host line overcame officials and ghosts
For job interview readings, the officials and ghosts line is taken as the significator god. Sometimes the parents line is also considered, especially for clerical work or jobs with clear hierarchy, such as government-related work. The wife and wealth line may also be considered, because most people seek work in order to earn money.
