Workplace Internal Strife, Stagnation in Promotions? The Official Position Palace Teaches You How to Break Through and Rebirth
To be honest, I've recently received too many messages asking questions like "How much longer do I have to stay in this job?" Everyone actually has a number in their hearts; the difference lies in whether you are avoiding the brewing answer.
Today is a Geng Yin day, and the energy of the Official Position Palace is particularly subtle. This palace, closely related to career, responsibility, and social roles, is being squeezed and tested, much like the modern person's state of "wanting to hold on, yet doubting life every day" in the workplace.
In fact, many may not know that when the energy of the Official Position Palace is constrained, the most common occurrence is not the impulse to resign, but a persistent yet numb anxiety. You clock in every day, order takeout after work, and binge-watch shows, yet you can't muster the energy to change tracks. This isn't laziness; it's your palace being bound by a stagnant energy field.
Under the celestial phenomenon of Geng Yin, where metal and wood clash, those faint voices of unease will become more pronounced. For example, a supervisor may have no intention of promoting you but keeps saying, "Let's observe for three more months," or a colleague may act friendly while secretly making decisions behind your back. Workplace internal strife doesn't necessarily mean you're not good enough; rather, it's that you've been stuck in the wrong position and frequency.
I can relate to this. A single friend of mine, earning a million a year but constantly putting out fires and working overtime, has a life that is unbalanced. I looked at her chart, and the Official Position Palace was influenced by the Po Jun star, indicating change and that more work leads to more change. Such a destiny in a stable public sector becomes a form of consumption. Later, she switched to a foreign company and found herself living more freely and stably due to the fast pace and project-based work.
To put it plainly, the so-called "breaking through" often isn't about starting over from scratch but rather about finally admitting: I don't want to play someone else's workplace script anymore.
The energy of the Geng Yin day reminds us to clarify what we are good at and what we dislike, and not to keep holding on to a job that merely "looks good." Actively adjusting the Official Position Palace can not only create substantial changes but also engage in dialogue with social roles, expressing the statement "I want to take responsibility for myself."
How to adjust specifically? Of course, it's not as simple as just changing jobs.
Try starting with small aspects of your life, such as adjusting your schedule to give yourself time to invest in yourself, even if it's just reading a book outside your field; or reorganizing your career resume, forcing yourself to face the awkwardness of "I actually don't know what my core abilities are"; or finding a teacher who truly understands your chart to help you discover your unique career path through the stars and palaces.
When you are willing to say "I'm actually not happy" about your current situation, this marks a new starting point for the Official Position Palace. Don't be afraid that this statement feels weak; it is, in fact, a release of energy. The confrontation of metal and wood in Geng Yin is a great opportunity to cut through illusions.
