I Ching Career Outlook
Career questions tend to be timing questions in disguise. The I Ching is unusually good at describing which stage of a cycle you are in.
Questions people ask
- Where is my career actually heading?
- What is blocking progress right now?
- Is this worth the effort I am putting in?

Common questions
Can it tell me if I will get promoted?
No. It can describe the conditions around you, which is more actionable than a yes-or-no.
How often should I ask about work?
Less often than you want to. Repeated questioning of the same issue tends to produce noise.
