A promotion in late March, and more work for little pay

I told her there would be career movement in March-April and October-November. She said she had just been promoted in late March—with more work and almost no raise.

In the year of Gui Mao, with salary star connected to the three harmony of peer stars, there will definitely be movement. And the movement comes from the external environment, an adjustment made by [redacted]. This year there are two time points with this tendency. One is the Mao month, which is March to early April this year. The other is the Hai month this year, that is, October to November, when there will be obvious movement. If you hold still and do not move, then the work in your hands will change, or there will be an internal transfer.
癸卯年,禄接地三合比劫,必有动向, 且动向来自于外环境,[redacted]做出的调整。 今年在两个时间点,有这方面倾向, 一个是卯月,也就是今年的3-4月初, 另一个是今年的亥月,就是今年的 10-11月,有明显动向。 如果屏住不动,那么手里活有变化, 或内部调岗。
