I'm seeking help to read this male chart born in Singapore in 1979, born 3.18am.

He is 47 (48 in Lunar age) this year and when he enters his 癸亥 luck pillar, he will be 53 and that year will be the  壬子 2032 year.

I was told that this is a Follow The Leader chart and am worried that 2032 will be a very challenging year for him as it all water and he will enter his 10 years water lucky cycle.

Can someone help to read without AI? Greatly appreciate any advise to help mitigate the upcoming challenges.

I don't know a lot about zwds, but I just need to correct the part about 伤官伤尽 in bazi, which I use - the OP's chart absolutely does not qualify for that structure. There are 2 direct officer stars in the chart, one on the heaven stem and one on the spouse palace. 伤官伤尽 requires no officer stars even in the hidden stems.

Also, I apologize in advance because what I am going to say next is not going to be very positive.

Your bazi chart would be classified as a very weak daymaster with severe Hurting Officer (HO) sees Direct Officer (伤官见官) clash in the month pillar. The typical interpretation would be that you tend to experience issues in your career due to problems with bosses, and have difficulty staying in jobs.

The water in your spouse palace combines away into earth, also your HO, which removes the HO sees DO clash from the spouse palace, but still indicate relationship issues.

You are intelligent and can produce good work, but it drains you severely. This could lead to saying things that might offend people because you're "just being honest", being hyper critical, coming off as arrogant/disruptive or simply taking your temper out on others when you run out of patience, saying very cutting things to hurt the person.

The "cure" for this clash is to introduce the wood resource element to control the earth HO. Weak DMs with strong HOs should use resource. Resource can represent wisdom, discipline education, support from parents/mentors or even just institutional support.

Irl, how this works out would be to seek out education in specialized areas, so you have the knowledge to strategize around obstacles in your field of work, work for a large institution (water/officer) whose rules can feed your education/credentials (wood/resource) which then strengthens you. Find a mentor you respect who can guide you and keep you grounded. You can make a good living by being a respected expert within the institution, which will also help with managing your HO. 

My master once told me about a client of his with a weak DM and strong HO who complained he kept losing his jobs. Mostly because he pissed his bosses off by constantly finding fault with the company's systems and colleagues' work. My master advised him to just do his work, take money and go home, he say cannot, if he sees something wrong he must say. It wasn't until he got older and mellowed down, then he stopped needing to constantly criticize and be right. Then he managed to stay in his job.

For 2018 - it was a wu xu year, the dog formed a "bullying punishment" with your goat and ox in the earthly branches. The issues may be related to being trapped in a toxic environment like a hostile workplace or any kind of abusive relationship you can't easily remove yourself from, like between a spouse, colleagues, parents etc. Then the people involved might backstab or unfairly blame you for issues.

Last year was yi si year, the si snake clashes with the hai pig in your luck pillar. This tends to create external circumstances that causes instability in your life, like being forced to relocate, change job or abandon set life plans because something in the environment changed.

Your chart has issues, but in bazi, no chart without "sickness" can be extraordinary. The key is finding the "medicine" for it, whether it's something you develop yourself, or it's something your luck cycles bring.

One thing I learned reading bazi charts is that they really can manifest in any number of ways. If the above doesn't fit your experience, feel free to let me know!
