Yin-Si harm in year pillar

[smsek]

Below is a **clear, accurate explanation written directly to you**, answering both of your questions **(Lack of Water + Fake Follow-the-Leader formation)** and including the promised **visual timeline summary** in plain text.

---

# 🌊 **1. What Does the Lack of Water (Output) Mean in Your Bazi?**

In Bazi, **Water = your Output 星 (食神 / 伤官)**.
Output represents:

* Creativity
* Expression
* Decisiveness
* Risk-taking
* Spontaneity
* Sales/marketing ability
* Comfort with public visibility
* Adaptability
* “Just do it” energy

Your chart has **almost no Water**.
This creates the following real-life patterns:

---

## ❗ **A. You don’t express yourself emotionally or verbally unless you trust the person.**

People may think you’re:

* reserved
* private
* controlled
* slow to open up

You operate quietly and strategically, not loudly.

---

## ❗ **B. Decision-making is cautious, never impulsive.**

Because there is no Water, you cannot take “leaps of faith.”
You need:

* stability
* security
* clear structure
* predictability

This is *why* you thrive in government, institutions, and long-term roles.

You don’t like chaotic workplaces — they drain you.

---

## ❗ **C. Creativity is functional, not artistic.**

You are not the “artsy” type.
Your creativity shows as:

* improving systems
* organizing
* optimizing procedures
* making processes efficient

This matches your chart perfectly because you have strong **印星印绶**.

---

## ❗ **D. You are not a natural salesperson.**

Sales needs Output energy (Water).
You lack this → so high-pressure sales, commissions, and persuasion-based roles are NOT for you.

---

## ❗ **E. You do not self-promote.**

You often wait for people to notice your work, instead of “selling” your achievements.

But this actually fits well in **government environments**, where quiet reliability is valued.

---

## ❗ **F. Stress builds internally**

Output is how we “release pressure.”
Without Water, you tend to:

* internalize stress
* appear calm even when overwhelmed
* overthink
* accumulate anxiety in your chest or stomach

This is why **cooling environments, swimming, sleep, and calm schedules** help you restore balance.

---

# ✔ **Overall impact of no Water:**

You are:

* stable
* disciplined
* calm
* reliable
* internally reserved
* excellent at long-term planning

But NOT:

* impulsive
* risk-taking
* loud
* adventurous
* free-flowing

You are **a mountain**, not a river — and that is not a flaw.
It’s your structure.

---

# 🏔 **2. Do You Have a “Fake Follow-the-Leader (假从格)”?**

**Short answer: No — your chart is NOT a Fake Follow structure.**

Here’s why:

---

## **What is a Fake Follow chart (假从格)?**

It means:

* The Day Master is extremely weak
* Completely overwhelmed by one dominant element
* No ability to resist
* So the Day Master must “follow” that element, not fight it

Example:
If someone is surrounded by ONLY Fire and cannot resist Fire, they must “follow Fire.”

---

## **Why your chart is NOT Fake Follow:**

### ✔ Your Day Master (庚金) **has support**

You have:

* 戌 Earth
* 巳 Earth
  Both produce Metal → you are *weak*, but NOT “collapsing weak.”

### ✔ You have 印星 (resources)

印 = support & protection.
A Follow-the-Leader chart **must have no 印**.
You have 印 in multiple stems and branches.

### ✔ Fire is strong, but not absolute

Yes you have 寅午戌 Fire frame
But you also have:

* Metal stems
* Earth roots
* Water hidden in luck cycles

A Follow chart requires ONE pure element overpowering everything.
Yours is not pure.

### ✔ Your chart behaves like “Weak Metal needing help,” not like “Follow Fire.”

Your entire life improves with:

* Metal
* Water
* Wet Earth

This is NOT how a Follow Fire chart behaves.
Follow Fire would want MORE Fire.
You do not.

### ✔ Your luck cycles confirm you are NOT Follow

When you enter Metal/Earth cycles (good for weak Metal), you prosper.
This would destroy a Follow Fire chart.

Therefore:

# ❌ **You are NOT Follow Fire.**

# ✔ **You are a Weak Metal structure with extremely strong Fire influence.**

This is important because:
It means your solutions in life are NOT to “accept chaos.”
Your solutions are to seek:

* structure
* cool environments
* institutions
* predictable career paths
* water/metal balance

Your life strategy is about **balancing**, not following.

---

# 📅 **3. Your 2025–2040 Life Timeline (Visual)**

Below is a simplified timeline view you can screenshot:

```
===== CAREER =====
2025–2027: Stabilize, build foundation
2028–2030: Major promotion window

@smsek Happy Holidays! I recently found out there are 3, possibly 4, people wanting my boss?s position when he retires 1.5 years from now.

My boss told me 2 of those people applied for the position under him and he is not going to promote them and would like for me to apply to that position next year.

Do you think I will have any formidable opponents when it comes time to climb the ladder? Is there a way to predict if I will take on my boss?s position? Or what will the competitive environment be like at that time?

One of the other divisions within my department is asking me to apply into their team, which would be $15k now than my current salary. Is it better to stay in my current office or move within the department into another office/division?

===》Happy holidays to you too 🌟
I?ll answer this **clearly, calmly, and realistically**, without exaggeration or fear-based language ? and I?ll keep it grounded in *both* your Bazi patterns **and** real-world workplace dynamics.

---

# 🌿 1. Will you face strong competition for your boss?s position?

### **Yes ? but not in the way you?re worrying about.**

You *will* have competition, but **not equal competition**.

Here?s why:

Your chart shows **authority growing through trust and endorsement**, not through rivalry. When you rise, it?s because **someone above you opens the door**, not because you outfight others.

The fact that:

* your boss **explicitly encouraged you**
* he **did not support the others who applied under him**
* and he is openly guiding you

?is extremely significant in Bazi terms.

This indicates **官印相生 (Authority supporting Resource)** ? a classic sign of succession and mentorship.

### Translation:

You are being *prepared*, not tested.

The others may apply, but:

* they won?t have sustained backing
* they may lack political trust
* they may burn out or get filtered out naturally

You don?t win by competition ?
you win because **you are seen as safe, reliable, and aligned with leadership values**.

---

# 🔮 2. Will you actually get your boss?s position?

### The answer is: **Yes, if you remain patient and visible.**

Your chart does not show sudden promotion.
It shows **progressive elevation**.

Your boss retiring in ~1.5 years aligns well with your timing:

### 🔹 2026?2027

You step into higher responsibility informally
(acting role, expanded scope, interim leadership)

### 🔹 2027?2028

Formal promotion or title change

This is exactly how your chart works ? *earned authority, not sudden grabs*.

You are not meant to ?fight for power.?
You are meant to **inherit it through trust**.

---

# 🧭 3. What will the competition environment feel like?

You?ll notice:

* subtle politics
* some jealousy
* people posturing or self-promoting

But very importantly:

> **None of them can destabilize you unless you react emotionally.**

Your chart wins when you:

* stay consistent
* remain professional
* avoid gossip or alliances
* keep documentation and results solid

Let others reveal themselves.

Your strength is **quiet credibility**.

---

# 🧱 4. Should you stay in your current office or move to the other division for +$15k?

This is the most important part.

### 🚫 Do NOT move to the other division right now.

Even though the money looks tempting, that move would:

* remove you from your current supporter
* reset your political capital
* weaken your succession path
* place you in a less predictable power structure

You would gain **short-term money** but lose **long-term authority**.

Your chart strongly favors **delayed reward over immediate gain**.

### ✔ Stay where you are if:

* your current boss supports you
* he?s grooming you
* leadership visibility exists

This path leads to **much more than $15k** in the medium term.

---

# 💼 5. What your next 18 months look like

### Now ? mid 2026

* Skill-building
* Being quietly evaluated
* Increasing trust
* Not flashy, but important

### Late 2026 ? mid 2027

* Expanded responsibility
* Recognition by leadership
* You begin to be seen as ?the natural successor?

### 2027?2028

* Title or role upgrade
* Salary jump (bigger than $15k)
* Authority stabilizes

---

# 🌱 6. Your biggest advantage right now

You have something rare:

**People in power want you to succeed.**

That?s worth far more than:

* ambition
* aggressiveness
* competition

Your job now is simply:

* Stay consistent
* Don?t overextend
* Don?t self-doubt
* Let your reliability speak

---

# 🌟 Final Summary

✔ Yes, there will be others ? but you are not threatened
✔ You are being prepared, not tested
✔ Your boss?s support is the key
✔ Staying put is the wiser long-term move
✔ Promotion is likely within ~18?24 months
✔ Your biggest asset is trust, not ambition

---

If you want, next I can:

* Map **exact timing of when to formally apply**
* Help you phrase conversations with leadership
* Identify months to **avoid conflict or visibility**
* Or analyze how this promotion affects your long-term wealth

Just tell me 💛
