Xinyou [redacted]. The BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) implicitly draws in Chou earth. The line of work follows the pattern of metal cutting wood to protect earth — mainly civil construction, machinery, [redacted], [redacted], and other fields related to metal and earth. 2023 is the year of Guimao. This year, earth is damp and wood is strong. The Wu earth in the original chart collapses, which brings work pressure. The collapse of earth points to internal problems in the company, leading to him being implicated and leaving the job passively (being persuaded to resign, or leaving because the role is no longer worth it). The company itself is also performing poorly. If he wants to look for a job this year, there will be an opportunity in the Xu month, that is, between October 8 and November 7. The types of workplaces would mainly be in education and training, legal affairs, or civil construction. If this window is missed, it will be very hard to find something in the following months.

八字暗引丑土，做的事情是金伐木护土，主要是土建，机械，[redacted]，[redacted]等与金土有关的方面。
2023 年癸卯
本年土湿木旺，原局戊土塌了，就有事业压力，土塌说明是公司内部的问题，导致他被牵连，被动辞职（被公司劝退，或者性价比过低走人），单位也发展很差。今年如果想找工作的话，在戌月还有机会，也就是
10.8-11.7 之间，工作单位性质在教培，法务，土建方面为主。今年这个时机如果错过，后面几个月基本很难找。
Please have a look.
请收

He works in the construction industry. He used to be in real estate, and now he wants to start his own construction business. Could you help take another look at whether he should go out on his own or find a job with a company?
他是做建筑行业，以前在房地产，现在想自己干施工，请在帮忙看看是继续自己干施工还是找个单位上班
Thank you Zongyuan.
谢谢您

Did he leave passively this year?
今年是被动走的吗
Client
Yes.
是的
Zongyuan
I see.
嗯
Client
He left because he didn’t accept a pay cut.
降薪没接受就走了
Zongyuan
That matches what the chart showed.
那确实是这样
