Client
My friends around me are all quite sincere about this.
我身边的朋友 都挺虔诚的
I told them I had a really good experience, and they all want to get in touch with you.
然后我说感觉很好 他们都想联系你
[emoji]
Would that bother you?
这样会烦到你吗
Zongyuan
No, it's fine as long as the people they recommend are genuine.
不会,只要推荐的人靠谱,就没问题
Client
Okay, got it.
嗯嗯好
Hi Zongyuan,
猫猫道长好

Sure, I'll look at it this afternoon when I'm free. [redacted]
好的 下午我空了看看[redacted]

Looking ahead: 2025, Yi Si year. Starting this year [redacted], on one hand your creativity will increase, you're likely to develop a side business, or have ideas about finding new career channels. Your financial prospects will expand, but since si fire is low in temperature, many things will stay at the idea stage and not be put into action. Still, by the end of the year, you'll see small progress, your savings will increase, and you'll be more frugal than before.
2026, Bing Wu year. Your career will make progress this year, and you're likely to make money through partnerships. Between 2025 and 2026 there will be a career change — such as a position transfer, job hop, or change of work location. You'll be busy this year and will have achievements; it's a year where more work brings more gain. Watch out for interpersonal issues and arguments around autumn.
2027, Ding Wei year. This year [redacted], your career development will be more noticeable. Your entrepreneurial project (side business) will make relatively obvious progress. You'll save more this year too; it's the most ideal year of the three. But the general environment will not be good this year, so you should keep a low profile. People may easily fix their attention on you or feel jealous.
往后看:
2025年乙巳
本年开始[redacted],一方面你的创造力增加,容易有副业发展,或者有重新找事业渠道的想法,财运有拓展,但是巳火温度低,所以很多事情还是在想法层面,没有落实,但是到了年底看,今年还是小有进步,储蓄增加,你也比之前要节约。
2026年丙午
本年事业进展了,而且容易和人合作取财,在2025-2026年之间有一次事业变动,比如换岗,或者跳槽,换工作地之类的。本年忙碌,也有作为,属于多劳多得,在秋季的前后注意人际关系和口舌。
2027年丁未
本年[redacted],事业发展比较显著,你的创业的事情(副业)会有比较明显的进展,这一年储蓄也多,是三年里最理想的一年。但是本年大环境不好,所以你要低调行事,容易被人惦记和嫉妒。
Please have a look.
请收
Client
Got it.
收到
What you said is very right. I did work a regular job in the early stage.
您说的很对 早期确实会上班
I'm currently unemployed and don't really want to go back to an office job.
目前已经是待业状态了 不太想上班了
Zongyuan
The wood and fire coming from the future is relatively auspicious. With this BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny), you will work a regular job in the early stage, but in the long run, you will still be in charge of your own venture — either as an entrepreneur, or doing both at the same time, having a main job and a side business.
Looking back: in 2024, you took on an extra area of responsibility at work, but your financial situation was average, with not much improvement. There were also interpersonal problems, and things felt stuck and didn't go smoothly. Last year you also had relatively large expenses, like buying big-ticket items, a car, house renovations and so on, so you didn't save much.
Looking ahead: 2025, Yi Si year. Starting this year [redacted], on one hand your creativity will increase, you're likely to develop a side business, or have ideas about finding new career channels. Your financial prospects will expand, but since si fire is low in temperature, many things will stay at the idea stage and not be put into action. Still, by the end of the year, you'll see small progress, your savings will increase, and you'll be more frugal than before.
见从未中来的木火,相对吉利。这个
八字早期会上班,但是长期看,还是
会自己负责一摊事儿,做创业者,或
者是两手抓,两条腿走路,有主副
业。
往前看,在2024年,你事业多了一
块,多负责一个事儿,但是财运一般,
起色不算大。且有人际关系的问题,
做事会觉得卡顿,不流畅。去年还有
比较大额的开销,比如买大件,车房
装之类的,储蓄不多。

本年开始[redacted]了,一方面你的创
造力增加,容易有副业发展,或者有

你也比之前要节约。

Hmm, did you start taking it easy this year?
嗯,是今年开始躺平的么
Client
Yes. I quit my job before the Lunar New Year last year.
对的 去年年前离职的
Zongyuan
Hmm, that lines up quite well.
嗯,那蛮符合的
This year you're mainly focusing on cutting expenses and being more frugal.
今年你主要在节流,节约多了
13:56
Client
Yes, because I want to build up some capital so I can do the things I want to do.
对 因为想积累一些资本 这样才能做自己想做的事情
13:56
That's very accurate.

And also, with the interpersonal stuff,
然后确实人际关系上
it just felt so exhausting.
感觉太烦了
My work wasn't even recognized.
工作也得不到认可
Last year my expenses were really high too, because I had my wedding.

Zongyuan
Then for next year, consider going back to work first while building a side business, and gradually expand the side business as your main focus.
然后明年考虑先上班 + 副业,然后拓展副业,作为主基调就可以了
Your side business is likely to be related to warmth/insulation, psychological healing, food and beverage, ceramics, art, or the beauty industry.
你的副业行业和保暖,心理疗愈,餐饮,陶瓷,艺术,美业,容易挂钩。
Client
Yes yes, that's very accurate.
