Are you asking yourself that you should run business or just be an employee? It might be better for some people to remain as employees, while others should work as entrepreneurs. Here I will show you how to determine whether entrepreneurship or having a job is a better route for you, just basing on your Chinese 8 characters.
Let me give you a brief introduction on looking at the different areas of your life basing on your Chinese 8 characters. Besides looking at the favorable elements and the unfavorable elements, you will also need to look at the various stars and the areas of your life which they represent.
Each different star in Chinese astrology represents a different area of your life, and each star is represented by a different element. If the element represented by that star is unfavorable to you, it means that you will not excel in that area of your life.
In this article, you will only look at 2 stars. These 2 stars are the “Tian Yi Ally Star” and the “General Star”. The “Tian Yi Ally Star” represents entrepreneurship. Although this star sounds like it will bring you strategic allies and partners, it is actually an entrepreneurship star. If this star represents your favorable element, then you should set up your own business instead of having a job.
The next star, the “General Star” represents rank and power. The main highlight of the “General Star” is rank. If the “General Star” represents your favorable element, then you are probably someone high ranking in a very large organization.
Basing on my years of experience, those with the “General Star” as their favorable element are usually high ranking government officials. Either that, or they might be working in some multi national companies, holding high posts.
With all that introduction, let me move on to how to determine whether the “Tian Yi Ally Star” is favorable to you. This is a little advanced, as you need to know which are your favorable elements. If you have no idea which elements are favorable or unfavorable to you, you might want to check out some of my previous articles, which cover the basics.
To determine the “Tian Yi Ally Star”, you need to know the element of the day which you were born. If you were born on. . .
-“Yang” Wood day, it is at Sheep (Earth) and Ox (Earth)
-“Yin” Wood day, it is at Rat (Water) and Monkey (Metal)
-“Yang” Fire day, it is at Pig (Water) and Rooster (Metal)
-“Yin” Fire day, it is at Pig (Water) and Rooster (Metal)
-“Yang” Earth day, it is at Sheep (Earth) and Ox (Earth)
-“Yin” Earth day, it is at Rat (Water) and Monkey (Metal)
-“Yang” Metal day, it is at Sheep (Earth) and Ox (Earth)
-“Yin” Metal day, it is at Horse (Fire) and Tiger (Wood)
-“Yang” Water day, it is at Snake (Fire) and Rabbit (Wood)
-“Yin” Water day, it is at Snake (Fire) and Rabbit (Wood)
The information may sound quite confusing, let me give you an example. Let’s say you were born on a “Yang” Wood day. Referring to the above information, the “Tian Yi Ally Star” of “Yang” Wood day is at Sheep and Ox. This means that if you were born on Sheep or Ox year, month or hour, the “Tian Yi Ally Star” is present in your 8 characters.
The next step is to determine whether the the “Tian Yi Ally Star” represents your favorable element. In the “Yang” Wood day example above, the “Tian Yi Ally Star” represents Earth. To determine whether Earth is favorable, it depends on which month you were born in. If you were born in the 4 Earth months, Earth is likely to be unfavorable to you. If you were born in Summer(Fire) months or Winter(Water) months, then Earth is likely to be favorable to you.
If the “Tian Yi Ally Star” represents your favorable element, you should set up your own business. If not, you might make a loss in your business. Let me move on to the “General Star” now. To determine the “General Star”, you need to know your Chinese horoscope. This will be much easier as compared to determining the “Tian Yi Ally Star”. I will list out the “General Stars” of the different horoscopes below. If you were born in. . .
– Rat year, it is at Rat (Water)
– Ox year, it is at Rooster (Metal)
– Tiger year, it is at Horse (Fire)
– Rabbit year, it is at Rabbit (Wood)
– Dragon year, it is at Rat (Water)
– Snake year, it is at Rooster (Metal)
– Horse year, it is at Horse (Fire)
– Sheep year, it is at Rabbit (Wood)
– Monkey year, it is at Rat (Water)
– Rooster year, it is at Rooster (Metal)
– Dog year, it is at Horse (Fire)
– Pig year, it is at Rabbit (Wood)
Time for an example. Let’s say you were born in Ox year, autumn month. Your “General Star” is at Rooster, which represents Metal. As you were born in autumn where Metal is at its strongest, Metal is your unfavorable element. Since the “General Star” represents your unfavorable element, it means you would not do well as an employee.
Basing on my years of experience, I noticed that many housewives have both the “General Star” and “Tian Yi Ally Star” as their unfavorable elements. In this case, they don’t work at all, but stay at home to take care of their family. On the other side of the spectrum, those who have both stars as favorable elements are usually the big bosses or founders of big organizations.
