Work and choice

She asked about her career path after years of setbacks

14 April 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked if her career path would work out, after years of work struggles and financial loss from a scam. I read her BaZi chart.

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

Hello Zongyuan, I'm a big fan of yours. I find your videos so accurate every time I watch them. I was wondering if I could study with you?

老师您好，我是您的忠实粉丝，每次看您的视频都感觉好准，我想咨询一下可以跟您学吗？

Zongyuan

Hello, thank you for your support 🌹

你好，谢谢喜爱🌹

I don't have any teaching plans for the near future 😀

近期还没有此类的教学计划😀

I've been having a really hard time at work. I took an exam once before and didn't pass. Now because of work I'm thinking about taking it again. I don't know if this path will lead anywhere. I'm also really lost about my career.

一直工作上比较困难重重，以前考过一次没上成，现在因为工作又想起来考，不知道这条路能不能走的成功，工作上也比较迷茫

I was hoping you could give me some guidance.

想请老师提点一下

This is the solar calendar date.

Client

Thank you so much 🙏

Your BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) has you born in the You month. There is [redacted] in your home sector. The only fire element in your entire chart is in the Yin branch, as the Bing fire within Yin. When fire is strong, things go well for you. When fire is weak, you feel消极 and depressed. Looking back, 2022 was an okay year. It was hard work, but there was some career breakthrough. That same year, however, the weak element also appeared, so there were also setbacks in your personal life that year. Starting from 2023-2024, things have been going downhill. When wood is strong, it breaks earth. During this period, both career and wealth are unfavorable. Also, your workplace itself has chaotic management, and the cost-benefit ratio has gotten worse — for example, same pay but more overtime, or even a direct pay cut. If you ran your own business, these two years would be loss-making. In 2024, the Chen-You combination creates a reverse formation, which also makes you prone to being scammed and losing money. You are currently in the Yi wood luck pillar. Things will start to get better gradually starting from the Yi Si year.

八字生在酉月，家内见[redacted]，全局唯一的火气在寅中，为寅中丙，火旺则吉，火弱你则消极抑郁。往前看，2022年尚可，虽然辛苦，但是有一定事业突破，但是同年也是弱点字出来，本年也有生活打击出现。从2023-2024年开始，一路下坡，木旺则破土，在这个期间事业财运均不利，且单位本身管理混乱，性价比降低，比如钱不变但是加班加点，还比如说直接降薪。如果你是做生意的，那么这两年就是赔本。在2024年辰酉合反局，还容易被骗导致破财。目前是乙木运，从乙巳年开始会慢慢好转。

Client

Zongyuan, that was so fast, that's amazing. All the earlier details match. Last year I met a Taoist priest online and went to him for help with my problems. I ended up doing so many rituals and all kinds of things, and by the end of the year I was deep in debt [emoji]

老师，这么快呀，太牛了。前面的信息都对上了，去年因在网上认识的一个道士也是有问题去寻求帮助，结果做了很多法事和各种东西，年底欠债累累[emoji]

Zongyuan

You were scammed.

你这是被骗了

Client

Yeah. Nothing got solved and I'm stuck with a ton of debt. As soon as I get my salary each month it all goes to paying off debts and I'm left with nothing [emoji]

是的，啥也没解决还欠了一屁股债，每个月的工资发了立马还各种债又归0了[emoji]

I got promoted to associate professor at the end of 2022. Starting in 2023, my supervisor at work started targeting me.

22年底评上副教授，23年开始被单位的领导整

I've been pushed aside ever since, made the most marginalized person in the department.

就一直被压制到学院最边缘人物

I don't know if I just offended too many people.

不知道是不是得罪的人太多了

Zongyuan

Mm, that aligns with your BaZi.

嗯，符合你八字

Client

I'm so lost right now. Nothing I do works out.
