Clarity at crossroads can sometimes come from unusual sources, such as a BaZi reading. Understanding your passion through such means may just help you, or your child, target the perfect career path, says Joey Yap.
Perhaps you are now at an important crossroads in your life. After you have graduated from university, you might have an idea of what you want to do with your life. But it's not always the case that we get our dream job right after graduation. In the meantime, depending on economic circumstances, you may have to reconsider your expectations or be willing to take a challenge in considering a job or career field that you may not have thought about before. But how do you get a better sense of which career you should pursue?
This is where Chinese astrology, or BaZi, can step in to help you figure out what career or job role you could pursue based on your individual BaZi Profile. Your BaZi Profile is tabulated using your birth date and your BaZi chart. While studying your BaZi chart in detail can reveal much about your past, present and future in all aspects of life, for the purpose of this article it's sufficient that you log on to www.baziprofiling.com/profile, key in your birth date, and get your BaZi profile.
Your BaZi Profile is a useful starting point from which to analyse how best to utilize your intrinsic talents and capabilities to help you find a fulfilling career or job role, as your Profile reveals your 'style' in life - it's about the different roles you perform when you go out into the world and enter into relationships, or engage with others, or how you manifest your actions in what you do for a living. Using BaZu to pinpoint your career choice and job role is an ideal way to match your desires and talents and interests to a future career and job role that is likely to benefit you in the long run.
THE 10 BAZI PROFILES
The Warrior Profile (Seven killings): If you're a Warrior Profile, your style of work is likely to involve strategy and hands-on activity. You work hard, identify problems easily, and set about solving it. However, it is hard for you to trust others easily. As such, you will generally tend to do well in job roles that require you to provide solutions, or run the ship - such as managerial role. You also make a good leader and strategist (ie. Business restructuring). You will do well in the corporate environment, where it's a dog-eat-dog world! You will also thrive in civil service and law, and the military. In terms of leadership, you'll feel comfortable as life coaches and trainers for business or sports.
- The Diplomat Profile (Direct Officer): If you're a Diplomat Profile, your style of work will tend to revolve around support and nurturing, which is precisely what you provide in spades for others. You find the middle ground among disparate people and factions, as befits your 'diplomat' name, and smooth things over. You are precise and proficient and like to improve on existing things. As such, you are unlikely to feel comfortable or do your best in competitive, cut-throat environments. You will be good in the role of a middle manager, or that of a counsellor or therapist. Your nurturing side also finds fulfillment in medicine, whether as a doctor or nurse. You'll do well in social work and conflict resolution, as well as in politics at the grassroots level or in civil service.
- The Analyzer Profile (Direct Resource): If you're an Analyzer Profile, your style of work will involve analysis. You tend to work hard at comprehending and understanding systems, facts, ideas, and numbers. You invest in the knowledge you learn, and create and engineer organizational systems. As such, you'll work well as a researcher or developer in the sciences, including social and computer science. You can also succeed in politics and law. You're good with numbers, so you'll be comfortable as a financial analyst, advisor, investor, or fund manager. Economics will also speak to you. Because of your respect for knowledge and knowledge processes, you'll also do well in education and academia.
- The Philosopher Profile (Indirect Resource): If you're a Philosopher Profile, your style of work is likely to focus on ideas and strategies. You have a unique vision and way of thinking, and you will feel stifled if you're not allowed to be creative. You're also very independent and curious, so routine jobs will suppress your inclination. You can be focused and insightful, and do well working independently instead of in a sustained team or group work. As such, you'll be happy indulging your creativity in the arts, or working in research that is unique and groundbreaking. You'll fit well in academia, but can navigate comfortably between the sciences and the arts depending on your interests. You will also be surprisingly adept in finance and economics as a strategist, thinker, or theorist.
