The Chart of a Photographer

Although Zi Wei Dou Shu is an ancient art of fate, as times change, new modern kinds of work can also be classified according to the natures of the stars. A photographer, for example: where does that fall in Zi Wei Dou Shu? Both 太陽 (Tai Yang) and 太陰 (Tai Yin) work. The Sun and Moon can both speak of optical work, so naturally photographers belong with them.
Mr. P is a photographer whose work includes weddings, portraits, and even drone photography. Let's look at his chart:
A photographer's pattern: Sun and Moon exalted
- The 戌 Palace holds 太陰, with Lu and Ke gathering, which can be seen as his potential at work. So Mr. P does very well in optical work.
- 太陰 sees 太陽, both in exalted places, so their power can come into play. It also sits with 文昌 (Wen Chang) and sees 文曲 (Wen Qu). 昌曲 (Chang Qu) are stars of expression; Mr. P's pure photography carries its own concepts. Photographers excel at telling stories through the lens, and Mr. P is a master of it.
- 太陰 sits with 鈴星 (Ling Xing), traditionally the "Ten Evils pattern," but with no 化忌 × damaging it, it instead becomes a "sudden-fortune pattern." As a photographer, Mr. P can react quickly to capture great shots, thanks to 鈴星 and 太陰.
- 右弼 (You Bi) meets from the 午 Palace, diversifying Mr. P's work.
- 天機 (Tian Ji) in the 午 Palace, stem 壬, makes 天梁 (Tian Liang) become 化祿 ●, which also helps 戌. 天機 is technical skill; with 昌曲, he can operate precision instruments. Mr. P has a drone license, which fits the signs.
- 擎羊 and 陀羅 (Qing Yang, Tuo Luo) clash in from the 寅 and 辰 palaces; will that show up badly? Since the pattern isn't damaged by 化忌 ×, it needn't be seen as an evil pattern. In a good pattern, 擎羊 and 陀羅 also show up as technical operation, which is how the signs show Mr. P's ability to fly drones.
- 太陽 in the 辰 Palace, stem 庚, makes 太陽 become 化祿 ●, strengthening 太陽 once again.
All these points keep strengthening Mr. P's technical and professional ability in optics; his chart's pattern also shows his becoming a photographer.
Conclusion
I expect some will ask: will everyone with this chart be a photographer? So many people are born at the same time; they can't all be photographers. But anyone whose professional field falls within the scope of the Sun and Moon can make good use of it.
What jobs might the Sun and Moon cover? Solar energy, optoelectronics, optics, lenses, even charity work, non-profits, healthcare... far too many to list, all within their scope.
And since Mr. P is a photographer, his work relates to aesthetics; isn't 天喜 (Tian Xi) in the 寅 Palace coming to help 太陰's abilities? That is the sign of the Sun and Moon finding expression in "photography."
