Mapping past jobs from a BaZi chart

27 February 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about reading past work from a BaZi chart. We walked through jobs she had done, one by one.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.
