She was promoted in October, and the raise was not what she hoped

She asked whether a promotion would come through. I said promotion or a raise, one of the two, most likely in autumn. She wrote back in October.

Hello Zongyuan. If you have time today I'd like to cast a reading, to see whether there's any hope of a promotion this year.

道长好呀您今天有空的话我想开一卦看看今年升职有没有希望

Here's the situation. I've been at my current company for thirteen years. This year a manager was willing to put me forward, so I got a chance at promotion. The process is basically finished now, the assessment and the interview are both done, and I'm just waiting for the result at the end of August or in September. On one hand I think a promotion would be good for me, it would stretch me. On the other hand, thirteen years at the same company is starting to wear on me, and I'm wondering whether I should look for a new job.

是这样的我在现在公司已经干了13年了今年有领导愿意提拔我所以得到了一个机会升职目前升职程序基本都走完了升职考核和面试也结束了就在等 8月底-9月出结果我自己一方面觉得升职可以锻炼一下自身能力但另一方面也觉得在同公司干了13年开始有些厌倦在考虑是不是该找新工作了

The chart is born in [redacted], with [redacted] in the family palace as the point of value. This year you can have one of the two, promotion or a raise, and it mostly falls in autumn. Between August and October this year the step up can happen. You don't need to worry about that part. On the longer career trend: 2026, Bing Wu. This year name outweighs profit. You may be promoted, but the financial progress is not large. Also, during the August–September window when things move forward, quarrels and gossip tend to come alongside it. Be very careful with relationships at work, watch what you say and how you act. 2027, Ding Wei. Looking at this year, wealth improves, but it won't feel like much. Management at the workplace will be fairly chaotic. And if your role involves leading a team, the people under you will not be easy to manage, and there will be a lot of vexation. Still, the second half of the year is better than the first.

八字生在[redacted]，家内见[redacted]为贵点。今年升职加薪可以占一样，且多数落在秋季，今年的8-10月之间可以实现提升，这一点不用多虑。就长期的事业走势来看。 2026年丙午本年名大于利，虽然升职，但是财富上的进展不算大，此外今年在8-9月的进步期间容易同时伴随有口舌和是非，在人际关系上要非常注意，谨言慎行。 2027年丁未本年看，财运提升，体感上一般，单位的管理会比较混乱的，此外如果涉及到带团队，那么下面的员工并不好管理，烦心事会比较多，但是也是下半年好于上半年。

Zongyuan, I'm here with feedback.

道长我来反馈了

The reading and the year chart were both very accurate. I was promoted in October, but the raise was very disappointing [emoji]

这一卦和年运都好准 10月升职了但加薪涨幅非常不尽人意[emoji]

After the promotion the pressure is enormous, and the internal turmoil at the company hit exactly as you said [emoji]

升职以后压力巨大而且公司内部动荡也全中了[emoji]

Mm. People are products of heaven and earth, and everything shifts with the year chart.

嗯人是天地的产物，一切都跟着流年在变化
