Here’s a revised interpretation based on her current Luck Pillar of **丁亥 (Ding Hai)**:

### Key Analysis for 2025 Decisions:
1. **Current Luck Pillar (27-37): 丁亥 (Ding Hai)**
   - **丁 (Yin Fire)** in the Heavenly Stem can enhance the Fire element, supporting her growth and self-expression. However, **亥 (Hai, Pig, Yang Water)** in the Earthly Branch brings a strong Water influence, which generally controls Fire.
   - This Luck Pillar represents a mix of Fire (creativity and self-expression) and Water (intellect and resourcefulness). For a strong **Wood** Day Master, Water is beneficial as it nurtures Wood, especially useful for studies and learning.

2. **2025 (乙巳 Year) Impact:**
   - The **Heavenly Stem 乙 (Yi, Yin Wood)** adds to her Wood energy, supporting her studies and growth. However, with an already strong Wood Day Master, this could make the Wood element overly dominant, meaning she may need to balance it carefully to avoid feeling overly burdened or overstressed.
   - The **Earthly Branch 巳 (Si, Snake, Fire)** strengthens the Fire element, which is associated with wealth for her. This can be a good year for financial activity, but with caution in balancing income and expenses.

3. **Suitability for Study and Career Focus:**
   - **Study Focus:** The Water element in her Luck Pillar (亥) supports studies and potentially overseas opportunities. Since Water aligns well with her Day Master and encourages personal growth, taking up more classes and even going for an overseas exchange can be favorable.
   - **Career Impact:** If she quits her job, the stability associated with Metal (career influence) may be temporarily reduced. However, her current Luck Pillar supports studies and self-development. It might still be wise to consider part-time work to maintain some Metal energy for structure and financial security.

4. **Financial Stability for 2025:**
   - The Fire and Water elements of her chart and Luck Pillar indicate she may have enough supportive resources to focus on her studies. However, careful financial planning is necessary as she could feel pressure balancing expenses, especially if she fully transitions to student life.

### Recommendations:
- **Consider Full-Time Study with a Balanced Approach:** While quitting her job might allow her to focus, maintaining a small side job or part-time work could provide financial stability and support.
- **Overseas Study Opportunity:** This Luck Pillar and 2025's Water element favor overseas exchanges and studies, so applying for such an opportunity could be beneficial.
- **Financial Planning:** Since full-time study could stretch her resources, it's advisable to budget well or seek part-time income sources to balance study expenses.

Overall, 2025 seems favorable for studies and overseas exchange if financial planning is done well. Part-time work might create a more stable structure for balancing both education and finances.

Hi,

I hope someone can share some insights with me. This year I finally enrolled in MBA course but am starting to think of I should quit my job to focus on studying next year.

I'm still able to manage both work and studying for now, but I'm considering to take up more classes and perhaps apply for exchange studies overseas. Plus, my compaymay sometimes be unreasonable in making me work after hours.

So question is, is next year 2025 a good year for
Me to quit my job and do full time study? Also, will I have the chance to do overseas study as well? Is it safe for my finances and wealth?

My birthdate is 27/2/1996, 4.15am, Malaysia.

Why do you need an MBA? Are you planning to start your own business? If you want to advance in your field, a second degree in a related profession is better. An MBA is for leaders. Not all companies are ready to see leaders in middle and top management. Consult with an HR specialist in your field.

Hi @kiwi ,

From your previous posts, you mentioned you were born in Malaysia, so I am going to assume your brother was born there as well.
If my assumption is correct, then attached chart 1 should correctly reflect your brother's Bazi, adjusted for solar time.

I think from a personality perspective, I would infer his risk-taker attitude from the following (refer chart 2):

• 戊 earth (output) suppressing 壬 water (officer), suggesting his expressive self tends to suppress his willingness to play by rules.
• 卯 wood (ethics/parents) combines with 戌 earth (output), eliminating both, suggesting his expressive self has a tendency to be detrimental to his ethical values, as well as a bit of a problem for your parents.
• This leaves him mainly with unharmed wealth elements (申 and 酉 metals) in the branches, suggesting he is focused on going after things that brings value and benefits to him.

So overall, he has a tendency to go after what he wants, sometimes against social norms, hence the risk-taker attitude effect.

For 2023 (refer to chart 2 again), I would say the image of him overspending lies mainly on the 申 clash 卯 in the branches.
It shows his money aspect of life curbing his wood, which covers both "doing the right thing" and "parents"(or the greater family support system, including you).
This will explain him, in an attempt to achieve what he wants, foregoes what should be the right thing to do, and instead, overspends, and is now taking money from his support system to cover for it.

Luckily, in 2024 (甲辰 year), the 申 clash 卯 effect goes away, because 卯 is no longer around to be suppressed, paving way for more earth (辰) to grow the 申 metal wealth luck.
So I think this money woes is only temporary.
Also, in the 2024 stem, 甲 wood comes in to suppress his 戊 earth, which suggest he will be more obedient next year, perhaps after learning his lesson from this 2023 episode.

Curious though, and I am not sure if there is any correlation, but I see for 2023 in the stems, his 戊 earth combines with 2x 癸 water.
This combination makes him lose 2x officer luck at a go, which makes me wonder if he is having problems at work?
Could he have lost his job recently, or pay cut of sorts, hence he couldn't support his needs financially?

Writer is a good example for wood and fire jobs.

As a writer, you can try working for reputable companies in education, medical, agriculture, human resources, real estate, urban planning sectors.

Freelancer is worth trying, but this is WATER in characteristics (very unstable). Your chart still needs water a little bit, so I guess freelancing can be your side jobs.

There are 2 ways of working as a freelancer:
- Work for a few clients who want long-term relationship or
- Work for many clients who want short-term relationship

Your luck is more suitable for long-term relationship. After you have enough experience, who knows it may become your main job.
