Work and choice

She asked about staying in her career field

25 July 2026Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked if she should leave her industry. I looked at her BaZi and laid out the timing of company changes and possible career directions.

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.

Client
I’m kind of tired of working in this field. Thank you, Zongyuan.
有点不想在这行干了[emoji]感谢师姐[emoji]
Zongyuan
Alright, I’ll take a look later.
好滴 晚点我看看

Yihai [redacted] This year’s wealth falls in the second half. If there are owed payments, part of them will come back in autumn. Watch for unexpected financial losses in October, and there will be new income after November. While financial pressure will ease somewhat in the second half of the year, the company is on a downward trend, and this will become more obvious the closer we get to next year. Your leadership and management will also see relatively drastic changes soon. Answers to a few questions: 1. Changes next year [redacted], involving two aspects. One is that you won’t be able to stay at your current place — either wage arrears will get worse next year, or the unit itself will be close to dissolution. When you look for work outside in 2027, the actual income will come around autumn and winter. But given the year’s energy, your overall work won’t be particularly outstanding. There won’t be much progress in compensation in 2027; more significant progress will start from 2028.
乙亥[redacted] 今年的财运落在下半年,如果有拖欠, 秋季会回来一部分。10月自己注意破 财,11月之后又有钱财的进账。虽然 经济上的压力下半年有所缓解,但是 公司走下坡路,且越是靠近明年,越 是明显。你们的领导,管理层在近期 也会变动比较剧烈的。 几个问题解答: 1 明年的变动 [redacted],涉及到两个方面,一是现在 的地方待不下去了,要么是明年工资 拖欠会更严重,要么是单位本身接近 解散了。 2027年你往外找的实际金额也是在秋 季冬季的样子,但是由于年份在这里, 因此整体工作也不算太拔尖,尤其 2027年待遇上的进展不大,从2028 年开始才有比较大的进展。

2. Direction of change The direction of your BaZi’s energy is [redacted], which corresponds to renovation [redacted]. A few directions you can try: 1. You can stay in construction-related units, but later it will lean more toward old building renovation, age-friendly renovation, or undertaking nursing home construction. 2. Medical and medical-related fields: medical devices, medical referrals. This also includes healing, spiritual guidance for others (divination-related work is also fine). 3. Financial industries: asset preservation, insurance. 4. Security industry: security supplies, sales and trade.
2 变动方向 你八字的做功方向就是[redacted], 对应到改造[redacted]_ 几个可以尝试的方向: 1 可以继续在建筑类的单位,但是之后 会更加偏向于旧房改造,适老化改造, 或者承接养老院的建设。 2 医疗以及医疗类的衍生,医疗器械, 医疗转介。也包括疗愈,帮人心灵指 导(占卜类也可以) 3 金融类的行业,资产保全,保险。 4 安防类的行业,安防用品,销售贸 易。
Please take this.

What you said is right. Our branch has really had changes recently — a new vice president came, and people say the general manager might leave. Wages have been owed for four or five months now. Currently we’re taking on renovation projects: hospital renovations, office building renovations and fit-outs, but there’s no new work now. That’s why I’m torn about whether to keep working here next year.
师姐说的对。我们分公司近期确实变动,来了一个副总,人们说老大可能走。工资目前欠了四五个月了。目前我们接的都是改造,医院改造,办公楼改造装修,但是现在没活了。所以我纠结明年要不要在这地方继续干了。

Mm-hmm, Zongyuan. I plan to stay and muddle through if I can. I still want to do the second option you mentioned. My dad is back, and he’s planning to do traditional Chinese medicine health care. I want to move toward that, plus add some divination and metaphysics work.
嗯嗯师姐,我想的能呆就继续凑合干, 我还是想做师姐提到的第二条,我爸 回来了,计划干医疗中医养身,我想 往这个靠近,再加上一些占卜玄学。
My father was imprisoned for a medical accident, and he got back around National Day this year. That’s why I want to get into this — we have some connections in this field at home.
我父亲是因为医疗事故坐牢了,今年 国庆左右回来了,所以我也想做,这 方面家里有点资源
Zongyuan, if I can’t stay next year and the company is close to dissolving, is that ultimately the same result? That I’ll be forced to find another unit. Like transferring to a different branch? Or possibly leaving this state-owned enterprise entirely?
师姐,明年我待不下去,和公司接近 解散,是不是最终都是一个结果,我 会被迫找其他的单位。比如换个分公 司?也有可能离开现在这个国企?
Zongyuan
Yes.
是的
Same result.
一个结果
But the trigger for this has a sequence. The order is definitely that the external environment first becomes very bad, and then you leave. You won’t be the one actively seeking change on your own — that’s not how it will go.
但是这个事情的这个触发,它有先后, 这个先后关系一定是外部环境先变得 非常恶劣,然后你才走的,你不是非 常主动地自己要寻求改变,不是这样。
Client
In May this year, they settled my 2022 wages. A state-owned enterprise dragging on for this long — I really wouldn’t have thought it.
今年是五月份,把我22年的工资结算 了,一个国企拖了这么久,真不敢想 [emoji]
Mm-hmm, I understand, Zongyuan. I had a hunch about this, so I want to figure out an exit direction early.
嗯嗯,明白了师姐。我有点预感,所 以我想早点找找出路方向。
Zongyuan, if I work with my father in medical and divination work later, how will my luck be?
师姐,如果我以后跟着父亲做医疗和占卜,往后运气怎么样?
Zongyuan
Your BaZi requires you to walk on two legs.
你的八字一定要两条腿走路
Without a main job, your side work will be limited.
没有主业的情况下,副业受限
With a main job, your side work will develop better than your main job.
有主业的情况下,副业发展会比主业好
You can do quite well at it.
能干的不错
Client
Zongyuan, does walking on two legs mean working a day job and doing side work at the same time?
师姐,两条腿走路,就是一边上班,一边干副业的意思?
Zongyuan
Yes.
是的
Client
That’s really true, Zongyuan. I feel like the connections I have through my side work are better than my main job, so I wanted to focus entirely on side work — but I guess that won’t work. Then I’ll go with the flow and walk on two legs.
确实是师姐,我觉得副业我接触的资源比主业好,所以就想一心干副业,但是又不行[emoji]那就顺命而为,两条腿走路吧[emoji]
Zongyuan, you always give such objective guidance. It makes me feel at ease 👍. You’re my role model.
师姐,你每次就很客观的解惑,心里让人踏实👍。师姐是我的偶像[emoji]
