Case Study: Reading a Job-Change Question Palace by Palace

Suppose you are wondering, "Should I accept the new company's offer or stay in my current job?" Here is how to read it palace by palace.

1. Define the Question and Useful God

• Day stem: you.
• Hour stem: the new opportunity.
• Open Door: current or new job.
• Zhi Fu: boss, company environment.
• Life Door: wealth and growth potential.
• Year-of-birth stem: your longer-term fortune.

2. Compare Current Job and New Job

If Open Door is strong and produces the day stem, the current job still supports you. If Open Door is restrained or trapped, the current role has hit a ceiling.

The new job is usually read from the hour stem or another Open Door. If the hour stem is strong, produces the day stem, and sits with a wonder or favourable door, the new opportunity is better.

3. Check Wealth and Growth

Life Door represents wealth and growth. If it is strong and in harmony with the day stem and Open Door, the move is promising. If Life Door is empty or controlled, the rewards may fall short.

4. Read Patterns and Timing

• Fu Yin: wait and observe.
• Fan Yin: high chance of change, but possible reversal.
• Travel star moving: clear progress soon.
• Useful god empty: the matter is not solid yet; act when it fills.
