Have you always felt frustrated about how your work did not suit you? Or wondered if you may fare better in some industry or roles? Why do you have a tendency to go towards certain roles or industry?

The answer lies in our bazi - as I always share, it carries our "DNA".

But, let's take a step backwards.. what makes up our bazi and "DNA"? It is due to our destiny where we were born on a certain date and time, hence our bazi was created. Our job is then to interpret and read into the bazi elements in the chart and its formation.

In this article, I would share how through your bazi elements, which industry you are drawn towards or have affinity with. On top of that, some bazi insights to what our talents are.

​Ready?

​Try plotting your bazi and take a look, are you working in the industry based on your bazi?
(You can download any bazi app and punch in your birthdate and time. No conversion into Chinese lunar calendar period is needed.)

An easy way to spot is if you have many elements tilt towards a particular element. If there is, you are likely to be working in the particular industry indicated. For those with a mix of elements, one may usually transit through a few different industry or roles.

Hence, for beginners, this is an easy and fun way to just take a quick look through just 1 layer.
​
To analyze accurately and advice on a clearer path to your suited industry and role, a 4 layers rule would give a clearer picture.

Here is a reading I did for someone in relating to career.

We are usually interested to know what are the talents and weakness of a person along with their current job. This is then read together with their luck and boss luck.

To give some insight, you could immediately tell that the person is:

• Keen in always learning and growing 
• Likes to demonstrates and applies what he learnt
• Suited to work in Wood industry and roles such as designing

These can be derived from his elements in bazi where the interaction between fire and water elements with the Jia wood element representing himself. And once you apply the 10 gods which represent his character, you can read how this person functions. 
​
Of course, this is just the layer 2 of the reading.

​Other layers includes the next thing to look at is if one goes through good luck to push his career to the next level.

​If yes, one would likely excel. If not, he may go into the cycle of switching industry – where he always has the tendency to go into a field which requires in depth knowledge. But this also means, he would always have to start from scratch..

​Through my experiences, people who are in the “grey zone” – someone who is neither outgoing nor too much of an introvert, tend to get such issues.

Why? This can only be down to they seem to fit everywhere but they tend not to realise their real talents. Or which function or traits is best suited for them to flourish. To put the icing on the cake, which industry is best for them.

So… if you are stuck or just curious what industry or line you are suited for? This would be a real useful guide. You can even be deciding on which course you wish to be studying for your tertiary studies. All of which will provide extremely helpful insights through your strength and what are you usually attracted to.

​“Will I be wealthy mah?”, this is often a question I get asked so often during bazi reading.
Often, when I plot their bazi chart, the next question is, “Do I have wealth element in my bazi? How many are there?”.
 
You can probably predict where this goes. And yes, many would be disappointed when I say none or only 1. While those has a handful, their face brightens up like a camera ready to flash for the next pic.

Over this article, I will share my thoughts on why wealth element is not everything to gain wealth. And through your bazi, when is your wealth luck coming even if you don't have it in your bazi.

Our Bazi Chart – and how to see any wealth element?

Your bazi is a map to your life through the interaction of 5 elements and the categories in life the element represents. The categories is in a gist of how I can put to it in a layman term per below:

1. people around you
2. your thinking/creativity
3. wealth
4. career
5. resources in life or support

These 5 elements is then further broken into what we call “10 gods” (十神). It further help us define into your characteristics and things in life during reading of bazi.
​

​Client with average wealth luck. She has a Earth (戊) day master. Water is what Earth controls and hence is the Wealth element. Notice the numerous wealth elements in her chart but she is unlike the first chart in wealth luck. In fact, she is more tight-fist over money matters.

​Golden Question - Does the number of wealth element matter?

There is no straight forward question to this answer.
But if anything and generally, no. In a normal bazi chart, you need just 1 wealth element to be wealthy. (not inclusive of special category chart).
​
On the contrary, if you have too many wealth elements, there is a chance you may have poorer health or be henpecked! A case of 财多身子弱.
​
Steve Job’s bazi chart was analyzed by many practitioners and there was possibly no wealth element. Yet, he is one of the richest men at one point in time. (We will come to that in a bit..)
 
As such, you can see that there is no simple easy way of – “Oh! I have many wealth element.. it means I am (going to be) super wealthy!”.

Surprise! There are other areas that can help bring wealth!

Here is a surprise to share with you. These other categories of stars and areas in your bazi can have positive impact to bring you wealth too.

Categories of Stars:
- Career
- Thinking/Creativity

Areas in Bazi
- Bazi Structure
- Your Luck Pillar

​
Career
Depending on your bazi chart and structure, your career star can bring you not only wealth but fame or authority in life.

One with such stars usually can take the responsibilities and ease up the career ladder or is well liked by bosses. When their bazi structure allows, one typically rose to be leaders in their own fields or are in senior management.

But when one has such talents, gaining wealth also means certain sacrifice in life (e.g. family time or leisure time).

Thinking/Creativity​
You maybe thinking how can thinking stars in your bazi bring you wealth.
The logic is simple. In bazi relationship, your thinking star grows your wealth stars.

Using the production cycle in 5 elements, for a Metal day master, your wealth is Wood. Water is then Metal's thinking.

The formula is hence: 
Metal (self) produces Water (thinking) and produces Wood (wealth).

​This route typically belongs to roles in marketing, design or innovating fields.

Bazi Structure
This is probably less mentioned in bazi context. But, this is also an area that can define you as ability to reach the top or being the Average Joe. (When I mention Average Joe, one can also earn comfortably so long as one tap on their given talents indicated in their bazi.)

​I shall not go into this area as it would be a lengthy write up, but just to give you a flavor of other areas in bazi other than purely wealth star.

Luck Pillar
This is the luck that one goes through at different stage of our life.
In our bazi, each luck pillar define 10 years of our life's luck. And this define from young to when we aged.

Using sailing as an analogy, think of it as you sailing out in the ocean. If its a choppy sea and bad current? You can think of the movie "Poseidon". Or you are enjoying good luck sailing through smooth favourable current. 

The golden tip is - when one is going through good wealth luck in luck pillar, one can enjoy good wealth too. This is even if you do not have Wealth element in your bazi.

Conclusion

So I hope you have learn that in bazi, wealth star is not all you need to be wealthy. Certainly not the generic way of thinking - the more wealth star the merrier. Through other categories and areas in bazi, one can become wealthy or at least comfortable in life too. 

In life, we “win” some – the gaining of wealth, and we “lose” some – the loss of family time. So its not all perfect at times too.
