A client asked about taking a renovation job out of town
A client asked if he should take a renovation job out of town. I cast an I Ching divination and advised against it, saying it would be more work than pay.

I want to take a job out of town. Do you think I should go?
我想去外地干个活去，你看能去不[emoji]

The hexagram is Wind over Earth (Guan) changing to Wind over Thunder (Yi, with Mountain over Earth (Bo) as the inner hexagram. This job was introduced to you by someone else, and it is related to sales, construction, or storefront work. The inner hexagram Mountain over Earth is a sign of wishful thinking. Also, the Wind trigram has no 'feet', meaning it is likely to be empty promises. We are now in the second half of the Gui Mao year; wood energy is fading and metal energy is rising. This opportunity goes against the current energy. I do not recommend going. If you go, you are likely to be misled and lose money.
卦得风地观转风雷益，互卦山地剥，
这个活是别人介绍你去，和销售，建
设，店面有关系。互卦山地剥，为梦
寐象，另外巽卦无足，容易画饼，目
前是癸卯年的下半程了，木气已退，
金气走旺，此事背道而驰了，不建议
去，去则易被忽悠而损财。

So in short, it is thankless work, and I will not make money from it, right?
总之一句话，吃力不讨好，而且就是
挣不上钱呗
That person made it sound very nice. Said they would pay whenever I ask, and everything is negotiable.
那人说的挺好听的[emoji][emoji]说钱随要随给，
一切好商量[emoji]
