Unemployed - Please see if this will be a good year? Careerwise

And combining it with real life, I indeed had better luck during Wood year, 甲 wood to be more specific.

Fake follower type charts can be ambiguous and confusing at times. It stands between true follower type and a normal weak chart.

Therefore both supporting and opposing elements must be present in the pillars, intact or combined.

Normal weak wants stronger support as the final outcome (after all those convoluted combos/clashes). Fake follower wants weaker support as the final outcome.

Life in general is indeed difficult, but I actually do very well academically.

That's great. You are well-equipped with human capital to navigate tough times ahead. Unlike money, human capital stays with you forever.

Hopefully, you are married to a good family by then. With good decade luck, family life should be great. With bad decade luck, you will need a lot of help from someone. Therefore marriage can help you mitigate the negative impact.

Hello, I am a newbie bazi learner and I would like to give my take. FYI, I follow the teachings of the school of five elements, not traditional and mangpai bazi, hence my views might seem different. Feel free to correct as I am still learning.

As a Ding (Yin Fire) DM, your career element is governed by the water element. Given that you asked for a career luck reading in July, I was wondering if you happen to lose your previous job in the same month? Your bazi seems to suggest so when I factor in how July's element on the heavenly stem plays out in the interaction with the rest of the elements in the heavenly stems:

July HS is Ji (Yin Earth).
It's appearance destroyed the Gui (Yin Water) of 2023 HS element.
This cause your 10 year luck pillar's HS Wu (Yang Earth) to be freed up from previously being combined with the 2023's HS Gui water.
The freed Wu Earth then went on to destroy the Ren (Yang Water) in your natal chart.
The destruction of 2 water elements simultaneously in the same month caused a drastic fall in career luck, and I am hazarding a guess that is the outcome of unemployment.

Also, because it is the earth elements that destroyed your career luck, and earth = your output element, I am further hazarding a guess that you were a bit too vocal / challenged authority / superiors at work, that led to some disagreement and separation from the job.

Interestingly though, the Ren water in your natal chart is the culprit of causing you (Ding fire DM) to constantly have undue pressure on yourself throughout most of your life, making you feel down more often than other people (my own bazi has the same problem). However, when the Wu earth destroyed the Ren water in July, while leading to unemployment, freed you from that pressure and at least from then till about Aug 7, you could have felt happier / more carefree for a short while.

After Aug 7, the Ren water is no longer suppressed by the Wu earth, and pressure will return. Which is fine - that is normal "you". But in early Oct to early Nov, additional Ren water will come in on the month HS, which increases the bad luck feeling on you. I cannot be certain if it is related to employment or something else, but please take care of yourself more / take more caution in the things you do during that period.

Finally, with regards to when is a better chance this year where employment might happen, I would say after early Nov till early Dec, as Yin water is present in both HS and EB of month elements. Dec-Jan is possible too with Zi water in the EB, but not as great a chance as Nov-Dec. Try to capitalize on these 2 months before 2024, as the career luck in the following months are quite flat.
