Some years bring a chapter of work to a close. Pay attention.

How Saju judges this
Your job is tied to your 'official star' (the Officer star). When stormy years (punishment or clash) hit, you may feel pushed out whether you planned it or not. It helps to recognize the season — otherwise you may change buildings but keep the same problems.
What Saju looks at for this
Helpful patterns
- New 10-year just starting — natural inflection point
- Official star lit up in this year
- Both authority and learning stars strong — a good time to aim for a promotion or a better fit
- Yongshin reinforced — confidence cycle kicking in
Watch-out patterns
- Strong punishment or clash on the day or month pillar — you may feel pushed out anyway
- Official star shaky — friction with higher-ups tends to follow wherever you land
- If you just quit angrily: same difficulties repeat unless the chart shifts
- Authority + creative-output clashing — friction with bosses
Best approach
If the year is pushing you out, don't hold on too tight. But don't rush into the next seat until the yearly luck settles (usually about 6 months).
Insider tip
Quitting a hard job in a punishment or clash year and starting another the same year? Same problem, new building.
See your own season.
