He came back a year later with two pieces of good news

26 August 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A year after our reading, he wrote back. The year had been hard, but a person who helped pulled him through, and he was going to be a father.

Do not be pessimistic.

一定不要悲观

During the Shen Metal luck period, you will reach heights you cannot imagine right now.

因为申金运气你会达到你现在无法想象的高度

Shen Metal luck is when the Metal within Si comes forward. In your BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny), Metal is the structure that commands the entire chart.

申金运气是巳中的金出来了，你的八字以金为法，号令全局。

So these past few years have only been a tempering period.

所以这几年仅仅是磨砺

Life is like this — half rises, half falls. This time requires you to change course and reflect.

人生就是如此，沉浮参半，这会需要你改道和思考

Another point: the whole chart's mechanism is very unified. [redacted] all the Fire and Earth in the chart; as long as you act [redacted], you will achieve something. [redacted] the country, follow it, do not go against it.

再一个是全局的做功非常统一，[redacted]了满盘的火土，只要[redacted]而行，就有成就。[redacted]国家，可顺不可逆。

This year is Jia Chen, a fixed-point clash, which is why there have been setbacks. Anxiety is unavoidable.

今年是甲辰定点冲，所以才有挫折，焦虑难免。

But fate still favors you. The Ren luck pillar does not act as a Water year — this is how things unfold. Next year you will start a difficult climb. Though the luck pillar is not strong, the year chart is good, so there will always be openings and a person who helps to pull you up.

但老天还是偏爱你，壬运不行水年，这是造化，明年就开始艰难爬坡，虽然运差，胜在流年好，总能有生机和贵人拉你一把。

It's been about a year since your last divination for me.

距离上次您的卜算，大约过去一年了

This year has basically been as you predicted.

这一年基本如您所预料

The fortune was very bad, but there was always a person who helped to pull me through.

运势很差，但总有贵人拉一把

It's been about a year since you cast the divination last time.

从您上次起卦到现在，大约一年

I changed jobs twice [emoji][emoji][emoji]

我跳槽了两次[emoji][emoji][emoji]

There really was a person who helps this year.

今年真的有贵人

After I was laid off, I happened to run into an old colleague from ByteDance who had joined a humanoid robotics company.

我被开除后，恰巧赶上我字节的一个老同事，入职一家搞具身的公司

He pulled me in, and I took the chance to switch careers and change tracks.

他拉了我一把，我也顺势转行换了赛道

There was only a very, very narrow window of time, and I caught it. It was precisely because I was fired by my previous company that I started looking for opportunities. This kind of coincidence is hard to describe.

只有一个很窄很窄的时间窗口，被我赶上了。恰巧是因为我被上家开除了，才去看机会。这种巧妙，难以描述

[image] You predicted it accurately around this time last year. That's incredible.

[image] 您在去年差不多这时候就精准预言了。神了

Thank you for your support and encouragement, for giving me hope.

感谢您的支持鼓励，给我希望
