Evergreen Marine paid year-end bonuses totaling 100 months' salary across 2021 and 2022, which is truly enviable. Mr. C is a senior Evergreen employee stationed abroad. Let's see how his pay showed up in 2022.
A year-end bonus is part of salary, so naturally we keep our eyes on 天府 (Tian Fu). Taking 2022 as the basis, let's see how Mr. C's chart shows up:

2022: the signs of a 52-month year-end bonus
- The 卯 Palace holds 太陽 (Tai Yang) and 天梁 (Tian Liang), with 化祿 ● clearly concentrated. 天梁 is "shelter"; here we can tentatively say that in this year, Mr. C would have a sudden surprise in his pay.
- 太陽 and 天梁 sit with 天魁 (Tian Kui). 天魁 is a benefactor star, strengthening the "sheltering effect" of 太陽 and 天梁.
- 太陰 (Tai Yin) meets from the 亥 Palace. 太陰 is also lord of wealth, helping 太陽 and 天梁 in 卯.
- The 酉 Palace sees 左輔 (Zuo Fu), the 未 Palace sees 昌曲 (Chang Qu), and the 亥 Palace sees 祿存 (Lu Cun): auspicious stars all gathering at 卯, strengthening 太陽 and 天梁, so this "shelter" is no small thing.
- 天府 in 戌, stem 庚. 天府 is the greatest wealth star, and 庚 makes 太陽 become 化祿 ●. Without the help of 天府's 庚, we'd only know his finances were very good; with 天府's 庚, it becomes clear the money comes from a "year-end bonus." The signs are plain.
Conclusion
Mr. C's year-end bonus is truly enviable, but in fact year-end bonuses also come from that year's hard labor.
I remember those two years, when e-commerce parcels at convenience stores were piled up even outside the doors. It shows that people working in freight during that time must have been twice as worn out as usual. Paying large year-end bonuses was only fair and reasonable.
