Time of divination: November 23, 2025, at 2:59 PM.
Stem and branch time: II F year, IV M month, III J day (void: E and F).
A querent recently received an opportunity to change jobs and asked about the prospects of the new position. The hexagram obtained was Wei Ji to Jie.
Judgment: The meaning of the hexagram names already gives an important clue. The primary hexagram, Wei Ji, itself signifies that the matter has not yet reached success. The transformed hexagram, 40. Jie, suggests that within difficulty there is still a chance for release or resolution.
The position was excellent, but it required active effort: In judging a job position, the officials and ghosts line is taken as the significator. Depending on the nature of the work, one should also examine the parents line or the wife and wealth line (see the “Tips” at the end). In this hexagram, the officials and ghosts line, M water, was hidden beneath the host line siblings G fire in the third line. Because the divination was made in the M month, the significator coincided with the monthly command. At the same time, it was generated by the daily branch, J metal. Therefore, it was in the states of prosperous and supportive. This shows that the position itself was of very good quality. However, because the significator was hidden, the querent would need to take the initiative and make his ability visible in order to strive for it.
The competitors would withdraw: In the hexagram, the siblings line, F fire, represented competitors. This line aligned with Azure Loong, but in the M month it encountered monthly break. After becoming active, it transformed into the descendants line, L earth, and entered the tomb. In hexagram interpretation, this clearly shows that the competitors would withdraw and lose their competitiveness.
