Startups Kept Failing, but the Right Direction Finally Paid Off
AI translated from the original Chinese.
Generated by Copilot
Mr. Y is very talented. After high school he went abroad for university and, having both gift and interest in art, studied an art discipline. But after graduating he found it hard to put his strengths to use. By his own account he started businesses many times, always ending in failure. In recent years, with the rise of self-media, Mr. Y entered this field and finally achieved success, with a fair degree of fame.
Where the chart's pattern lies
化祿 ●: adding 祿存 (Lu Cun) in the 午 Palace, Lu stars flank the 巳 Palace, which sees 左輔 and 右弼 (Zuo Fu, You Bi), 火星 (Huo Xing), 陀羅 (Tuo Luo) and 天馬 (Tian Ma)
化權 □: 化權 concentrate in the 午 Palace, which also has 祿存 and is met by auspicious stars such as 文昌 (Wen Chang) and 天魁 (Tian Kui)
化科 △: same as 化祿 ●, both in the 巳 Palace
化忌 ×: 武曲 (Wu Qu) and 天相 (Tian Xiang) sit together in the 申 Palace, "sitting with nobility, facing nobility," plus 文曲 (Wen Qu), with romance stars concentrated
Any of the above could be his chart's pattern. So where should we start?
Reading the pattern
Art studies
Mr. Y studied an art discipline at university, so romance stars are the main thing, and of the patterns above only the 申 Palace fits this image. But the 申 Palace:
- Has 化忌 concentrated
- Is clashed by 鈴星 (Ling Xing) from the 寅 Palace, forming the "寡宿" (lonely) pattern
So if he worked purely in art, he'd face a situation where no one helps him. Can this chart study art, then? Yes! Can it make a career of it? It depends.
Startup success at last
For starting a business, look for 化權: the 午 Palace
- Sitting with 祿存, the chart suits starting a business
- 貪狼 (Tan Lang) with 文昌, without a clash of Ji and malefics, can be seen as the "nimble and adaptable" pattern
If his business involved talking with people or sales and sponsorship, all the better.
Moreover, the 午 Palace's stem is 庚, making 武曲 in 申 become 化權. The 申 Palace was weak, but with the added power of 化權, Quan stars concentrate there, turning 申 from weak to strong.
Working in self-media
Self-media is nothing but "image" and "sound." For image, focus on the Sun and Moon; for sound, focus on the Metal stars.
- Sun and Moon: 太陽 (Tai Yang)'s stem is 癸, making 破軍 (Po Jun) become 化祿 and auspiciously transforming 武曲; 太陰 (Tai Yin)'s stem is 己, making 武曲 become 化祿, auspiciously transforming 武曲. Both turn 武曲 from weak to strong, and also turn the 申 Palace from a concentration of Ji stars to a concentration of Lu stars.
- Metal stars: 武曲's stem is 壬; although it makes 申 self-transform into 化忌, since it has turned from weak to strong, we focus on the stem 壬 making 紫微 (Zi Wei) become 化權, and needn't weigh 武曲 化忌 too heavily. 七殺 (Qi Sha)'s stem is 甲, making 廉貞 (Lian Zhen) 化祿, 破軍 化權 and 武曲 化科: all turning 武曲 from weak to strong.
Conclusion
This chart is like walking a tightrope; choose the wrong career, and frustration comes easily. As it happens, Mr. Y is interested in art and also runs self-media, and he finally succeeded.
