Frequently Asked Questions

Can Bazi tell me my exact career?

Bazi reveals your natural strengths and favorable directions, not a specific job title. It's a compass, not a map.

What if I don't know my birth time?

The Hour Pillar (career environment) cannot be calculated without birth time. However, the other three pillars still provide valuable career insights.

Can I change my career if my Bazi says otherwise?

Bazi reveals tendencies, not fixed destiny. Awareness of your natural strengths allows you to work with them rather than against them.
