The right starting point
The question changes the reading.
Use BaZi as a way to notice structure, pressure, and timing before you make the next decision.
Work
Is it time to change roles, or time to recover your position?
Relationships
What are you trying to hold together, and what needs a boundary?
Money
Can your resources move forward at the same pace as your ambition?
Timing
Which part of the year calls for initiative, and which calls for care?
See the year as a pattern.
Clear timelines make it easier to return to a reading, compare the months, and decide where your attention belongs.
