The other day, I received a message from a person recommended by a student, that goes like this:
I personally have engaged 7 bazi, 2 ZWDS and 3 fengshui masters in the past. Money has been spent but none of them helped me much. In fact, after I took the last 2 bazi masters’ advice, my career and finance luck has been down and out. So I am very cautious especially in recommending to my friend.
I felt bad for this person that have now total lost of faith in Chinese metaphysics especially in Bazi. This prompted me to illustrate how bad it can be getting free or wrong advice in life. Soon, I found this post in a forum and I will try to share a little with audience. I am not disclosing everything here but I hope I can shed some light into your life. Give it a thought especially if you are a student of Bazi and still feeling lost.

Based on natal chart alone, I would agree she is very suitable to be financial planner (wealth oriented, working through interaction with people). But she just entered a new Luck Cycle that is strongly attuned to Officer luck. The Ren water in the Luck Pillar stem comes in to combine with the Ding in the month stem. This can suggest a few possibilities:
1. She is more suitable to be working under someone or an organisation now. Destined to be controlled in this Luck Pillar, because Officer represent entity of authority, and Ding can be self.
2. If insistent to work independently, then the Ren water Officer will represent the clients, the entity of authority. She will be strongly beholden by her customers.
3. If centered around her personality, Officer combining Friends suggest controlling of other people, so it is a suitable time for her to play a leadership role.
So…yes, working for another company, especially one that has stronger authority seems to fit her chart now. Working as financial planner also works as that is her core nature, but be ready to sacrifice her freedom this Luck Cycle. Financial director is better as she is still under a higher authority and probably has some leadership avenue.
Do note due to the Tiger-Snake punishment this Luck Pillar, she will face some backstabbing. But can take it as an expected occurrence when working with people.
Master Alan Comments : “Expert 1” did not recognize her innate desires and focused on the Officer from her current Luck cycle instead and concluded she is in for a leadership role which is not the case. Is she cut out for being an employee or be her own boss? This is the crucial thing that was missed out. You need to assess the Bazi to know the entire picture to give a more precise answer that will lead her out of her predicaments.
Does she like to control or rather work with friends/siblings by her own nature? Next question would be is it beneficial for her to work together with friends or siblings?

Let’s look at this from a different perspective. This lady was born during the hour of the snake, that is between the 9am to 11am. A Ding day master is considered weak when born during the day time. She has more affinity & better chance of success with a company from overseas.
It is also difficult for a weak day master to control the wealth element. She could consider a fire related industry like aesthetics, technology & energy to strengthen her day master. At the same time, take up a role involving her strong DW & IW traits. Maybe something that involves managing & controlling finance matters or even business development.
Master Alan Comments : Why is it Ding 丁 considered weak when born in day time? Out shined by the Bing 丙 fire? Which classics says so or was it his own imagination? A false understanding of the Nature’s workings?
In fact, the Snake 巳 gives her the restless nature and entrepreneur wants but it it a favourable element for her?
Is she a weak or overly strong Day Master? If you get this wrong, you will throw her off the cliff with the wrong advice!
Why join Fire industry or is there such a thing in the first place? Why not sit by the fire all day to absorb more fire energy? I think this industry has been grossly fed with false information or spiced up by individual imagination, leading to false interpretation that lead people astray rather than going into the right path in life.
The Cost of Wrong Advice: How Misguided Guidance Leads You Astray
When you act on incorrect advice, you inevitably take the wrong path. And once you’re walking the wrong path, not only do you fail to achieve your desired results—you often end up worse off than before.
Take, for example, a friend who posted her BaZi chart, believing that Metal is her favorable element and that she’s best suited for the finance industry. My first question to my students is always: “Is she even good at managing her own finances in the first place?”. Does she has the strong integrity needed to be in a Finance Director Position? These are the pertinent questions that you can find the answers inside the BaZi Chart.
This is why understanding the correct method is crucial. Misinterpretations lead to frustration, despair, and a life that feels lost. If you truly want to break free from these struggles, you must relearn BaZi the right way—the way Nature intended.
Liberate yourself. Learn the Nature’s Way of BaZi.
