He asked at what age he could retire

26 October 2026Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

She asked when her husband could retire. I read three years ahead instead, and the year he would not move turned out to be the year his shares vest.

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.

He wants to ask, at what age can he actually retire? How should I even ask that?
就是他是想问,到底要干到多少岁才可以退休?那这个是要怎么问

He emigrated to the US in his teens. He works in Connecticut, on the East Coast, in semiconductors.
他十几岁以后就移民美国了,现在长期美国东部康州上班,半导体行业
So whenever you have time, could you take a look at this question for him.
那就等你有空的时候,帮忙看看这个问题

Sure. Send me his BaZi (known in the West as the Four Pillars of Destiny) and I'll read three years ahead.
好的 他的八字儿发我吧 我往后看三年

Oh, right, I have to give you feedback. In August and September this year there really were a lot of strange arguments and gossip, nothing to do with me at all, just trouble falling out of nowhere. At work and in my relationship, it came up suddenly. I have to tell you, that was accurate 🥺🥺
哦,对了,我要过来反馈。今年八九月的时候,确实多了好多奇奇怪怪的口舌是非,跟我自己完全没有关系,都是无妄之灾。工作中感情中突然冒出来的,一定要跟你说这个好准🥺🥺

At the time it was almost every week, some quarrel or other. I'd be sitting at my desk in the office and the pot would fall from the sky. I kept wondering why it was so unfair, but it felt familiar somehow. It took me several days to realize you had told me about it before.
当时就是几乎每周都有口舌之灾,几乎就是人在办公室坐锅从天上来。当时还在想为什么这么冤,但这件事似曾相识过。过了好几天才反应过来,你之前跟我说过

The BaZi is born in the Si month; the whole chart sees Chen and Chou as the noble points. ⏎ The next three years ⏎ ⏎ 2027, Ding Wei ⏎ This year [redacted], career changes are large, and mostly unstable. The unit itself will likely see leadership and staff turnover, which will carry the native along with it. Spending across the year will be heavy, easy to spend on car, house, renovation. Also, in the unit there is a tendency to be marginalized (no longer in the core business) ⏎ ⏎ 2028, Wu Shen ⏎ This year career progress is large, easy to have financial progress, and a person who helps is likely to appear. The whole year sees hidden wealth; beyond salary income, other income is likely to develop (side work, investments, or other kinds of income) ⏎ ⏎ 2029, Ji You ⏎ This year [redacted] career goes up a level. 2028–2029 form a whole; in these two years there will be a promotion (rank, or actual scope of authority). Also this year he will meet fairly capable leaders and colleagues, and the work is relatively easy. ⏎ ⏎ On your question ⏎ The BaZi does not [redacted], he basically will not retire. From the Bing luck pillar (2033, age 49) it will [redacted] and be in a fairly easy position, but retirement is mostly around 2046 (age 62). ⏎ ⏎ Also, for your husband there is no real retirement (only nominal retirement). He will keep finding things to do for himself, will keep contributing, and will not lie flat and enjoy life. Especially in old age he still runs wealth-and-officer luck, and will still be working in his career.
八字生在巳月,全局见辰丑为贵点。 后三年走势 2027 年丁未 本年[redacted],事业变动大,且多数有动荡,单位本身领导和人员容易换人,也会带动命主有变化,全年的开销会很大,容易在车房,装修上花钱,此外单位中容易有一定的边缘化(不在核心业务了) 2028 年戊申 本年事业进展大,容易有财运进步,此外容易有贵人出现。全年见暗财,除了工资收入之外,也容易带动其他收入发展(副业,理财,或者其他类型的收入) 2029 年己酉 本年[redacted]事业上一层楼,在2028-2029 年属于一个整体,这两年中会有晋升(职级,或者实际的实权管辖范围),此外这一年会遇到比较给力的领导和同事,工作是相对轻松的。 关于你的问题解答 八字不[redacted]基本不会退休,从丙运开始(2033 年,49 岁)会[redacted]且对轻松的岗位上,但是退休多数在 2046 年附近(62 岁)。 此外对你老公来说,没有实际退休一说(只有名义退休),他会一直给自己找事情做,会一直奉献,并不会躺平和享受生活。尤其是老年仍然走财官运气,还是会一直在事业上做事的。

Thank you, Zongyuan, I just got up and saw this.
谢谢猫猫道长才起来看到
You wrote it so thoroughly 🥺
写的好详细🥺
Is there a chance he changes jobs in the next three years? His work pressure is very high right now. He's been at this job since graduation, over ten years, but lately he's been considering whether to change.
那未来三年有可能换工作吗?他现在工作压力很大,这个工作他一毕业就做了十几年了,但是最近在考虑是不是要换

Yes. You see, 2027 already mentions his job change. If he wants to jump ship, or move, 2027 is the most likely.
有啊,你看这个2027年就提到了他的这个工作变动嘛,他如果要跳槽的话啊,或者是挪动的话,2027年是概率最大的。

But then again, even though he has this change in the chart, next year it's best if he can find something relatively stable. If he moves on his own initiative, he may not find a good place to land, and the more he moves the worse it could get. So being adjusted passively is better than changing actively.
但是呢,话又说回来啊,他虽然有这个变动的项,但是明年最好是阿,能够找相对稳定一点的就是他如果主动动的话,不一定能找到好的去处,就可能越动越差。所以,情愿被动地被调整,比这个主动地去变化更好。

And if he really is going to jump ship, waiting until 2030 is a more suitable time, when the earthly branch sees Xu earth. That's relatively suitable.
然后,如果真的要跳槽的话,等到30年啊,是比较合适的时候,就是地支见戌土的时候,相对比较合适。
Client
Oh, I see. So if he changes jobs, it might be next year. The reason I wanted to consult you is that I feel he can't hold on much longer 😂 he wants to change. But he...
哦哦原来如果要换工作,有可能是明年。之所以想找你咨询就是感觉他现在就熬不住了😂想换工作。但是他现
It really suits couples to consult you together, they can corroborate each other. Thank you, Zongyuan, get some rest early.
果然夫妻适合在你这一起咨询,还能相互印证。谢谢猫猫道长,早点休息哦
Zongyuan, I read your consultation to my husband. He asked me to thank you, it put him much more at ease. He also said that if he only changes jobs in 2030, it might be because in 2030 his company finally pays out the shares they announced this year. They announced at the start of this year that current employees would get a small block of shares but must stay until at least 2030 to receive them.
猫猫道长,把你的咨询读给我先生听了,他让我一定要谢谢你,让他舒心很多。他还说如果30年才换工作可能是因为30年他们公司终于要把今年宣布给的股票拿了才离职,他们今年年初宣布了,现有员工会给一笔小股票但是必须至少待到2030才给发放

He also said, how did you know he also does finance? Did I tell you? I said no. Since childhood I read things and forget them right away. He read what you wrote word by word, and said it actually mentioned finance.
他还说你怎么知道他还做金融,问我有跟你说么?我说没有啊,从小看东西容易不记事看了就忘了,他一个字一个字认真看你写的,说里面竟然写了金融。
Oh, right, I also have to give you feedback on my own matter. Your pointing out that I'd have arguments in August–September was completely right, but the most important thing was the method you shared with me for resolving it, which was to tell me not to fear the arguments. Because with my old temper I definitely couldn't let myself be in the wrong, and I'd fight back, but after battling with someone I'd still brood and feel guilty about whether I was too blunt. But after your guidance, during the arguments in August–September, I wasn't afraid. Even with superiors or my husband, I pushed back bravely (provided I really felt I was in the right), and in the end it came out well for everyone. My superior understood my point of view, and my husband has been much better behaved.
哦 对了 还要跟你反馈我的事情,你指点出来我 8-9 月有口舌之争只是全对,其实最重要的是你分享给我的化解的方法,就是让我不要畏惧口舌之争。因为按照我以前的脾气就是肯定是不能理亏的,也会反击,但是跟人家 battle 完还是会纠结和愧疚是不是太直性子了。但是你之前指点之后,我 8-9 月那段时间遇到的口舌之争,我都没有在怕的,哪怕是上级或者老公,都勇敢回怼(前提是真的觉得自己是有理方),当然最后也得到了皆大欢喜的结果。上级理解了我的想法,老公么 乖了很多
Anyway, I think your accuracy in reading things is impressive, but your perspective and breadth in interpreting the hexagrams also leaves me, ah, I don't know how to say it.
反正我觉得你算事情准是很厉害的,但是你解读卦象的眼界和格局也是让我 哎 不知道怎么说
Anyway, you keep things clear-headed. I really admire that. ⏎ [emoji]
反正你就是拎得清 这点非常之赞赏 [emoji]

Ah, I've noticed a lot of people who come to you only praise your accuracy, they don't understand the essence.
哎 我发现很多找你看的人只是夸你算的准,他们都不懂精髓啊
Consulting you is actually a kind of practice for oneself too. Of course I might be exaggerating a bit.
如果找你咨询,其实也是对自己的一种修行 当然我说的可能有点夸张
