Some years just end your job for you. Pay attention.

How Saju judges this
Your job is tied to your 'official star' (관성). When stormy years (형/충) hit, they often push you out whether you planned it or not. Recognize the season — fighting it usually means you 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 — promotion or a better fit
- ·Yongshin reinforced — confidence cycle kicking in
Watch-out patterns
- ·Strong 형/충 on day or month pillar — usually pushes you out anyway
- ·Official star cracking — power struggles 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 forcing you out, don't grip. But don't rush the next chair until the 세운 stabilizes (usually 6 months).
Insider tip
Quitting a hard job during 형/충 and starting another the same year? Same problem, new building.
See your own season.
