How to choose your career using BaZi
Ba Zi is one of the tools we can use to choose which career field or industry to be in so that we can get the maximum return for our effort. As this is a productivity blog, it makes sense that choosing the right industry to be in will make us become more productive. Please read my blog on “Startup or employment”,“Assessing your Wealth Capacity”, “Do yo want to be rich” and “Can you marry rich”.
Based on 5 elements-FIRE, WOOD, METAL, WATER, and EARTH, it can indicate suitable industries that will bring job satisfaction and professional growth for the individual. To plot your chart, CLICK HERE.
The elements representing the various industries are as follows:-
- Fire
- Petrol, fuel
- Restaurant, food & beverage
- Airlines
- Technology
- Engine, electronics, electric
- Computers
- Fire Arms, military, artillery
- Laser,fire, heat related fields
- Promotion, services
2. Wood
- Fashion & clothing
- Furniture
- Plantation
- Education, teaching
- Religious preaching
- Health
3. Metal
- Jewellery, goldsmith
- Automobile & Vehicle
- Finance & Banking
- Metal, aluminum, iron
- Engineering
- Mechanical nature field
4. Water
- Aquatic, Fishery
- Sailing, shipping
- Tourism
- Trading & transport
- Journalism
- Water related field-strategists, thinkers
- Flowing, moving industry like courier service
5. Earth
- Property, real estate
- Natural resources
- Insurance
- Building Materials
Let us look at a sample Bazi chart as shown below:
To determine, which industry will yield Mr X the maximum return for him, please look at the example below-
Ba Zi Chart of Mr X
Example
To see which field or industry will give the maximum return to Mr X , look at the hidden stems of the month pillar as the month pillar represents career prospects. Earthly branch in the month pillar is a Dragon houses 3 hidden elements-Earth in the center, Water and wood at the left and right side. It means that Mr. X has 3 possible industries to choose;- earth, water and wood industries. He has to choose one. Normally the center element-Earth which is the most dominant element will give the maximum return or opportunities to Mr. X. However, the field with maximum opportunities or return is not easy as the element is not your favorable element. If you can overcome the challenges, it will be very rewarding for you.
Another way to look at it, take an analogy just imagine you are buying moon cakes, (check the month pillar at the earth branch), it is a Moon Cake with Dragon Brand. When you open the Dragon Moon cake box, there are three flavors-Water, Earth and Wood-in Hidden Stems. Earth is the biggest moon cake compared to the other two smaller moon cakes. Normally, most people will choose the bigger moon cake as it is better than the smaller ones as it has more ingredients inside.
So the industry related to earth like properties and real estates are more suitable for Mr X. He will be more successful and can grow in his earth related career compared to other industries. If some how, Mr X prefers to work in the wood industry like education, teaching or fashion he can still be successful in this line. Similarly if he opted for water industry related careers like travelling, tourism, courier, strategist, journalism. Sometimes the more options you have, the more confuse you will be. I prefer it to be pure, no confusion at all. So just decide on one and pursue your dream job/industry to put you on the path of least resistance to your wealth.
Another example-
Mr A – look at the “big moon cake” at month earth pillar which is a Rabbit. When you open the “Moon cake box”, there is only one flavour i.e.wood flavour.
So to Mr. A, the most suitable career is to be in wood related industry-like education, teaching, medical & health, fashion, furniture, plantation,etc.
Here there is no confusion at all on the option.

My month pillar only has one hidden stem: Gui Water – which is the same as my day element. I’ve always wanted to be a writer/actor although I work for a bank. Is writing water or wood industry? What about film? I’m pretty good at everything – but I’m old and tired now – should I just give those dreams up? Thanks.
Hi Sara,
The right field that give you maximum opportunities is water industry. Tourism, trading, transport, journalism belong to water industry.Banking belongs to metal industry. Film & entertainment belong to Fire Industry. Writing books belongs to wood industry. When you are too old to change, it is better to stick to your current job and make the best of it.
Thanks
Hi Uncle Bazi,
I had done some basic profiling for myself, and I am quite aware of certain traits that I demonstrate regularly.
My daymetal is Xin – hidden stems: Ji Earth (IR) , Yi Wood (IW) and Yin Fire (7K)
My month pillar only has one hidden stem: Gui Water (EG)
Currently, I am with an IT company as an technical implementation consultant-cum-trainer to analyse requirement issues gathered from my clients and in line to train users on our platform.
Although I lack the necessary technical knowledge of my company product; I put good effort in building rapport and working hard; but the way I express myself is rather rigid and blunt, which has probably offended some people around me.
My feedback from my superiors and colleagues is that I am not detailed-oriented; indecisive, lacking a structural approach to problem solving; and lastly lacking consistency in finishing a task.
I am actually quite worried now, but i am interested in this role since it allows me to present and socialize (connector + Output structure) and to train people.
What and how should I do to improve myself given my bazi?
Hope to hear from you as soon as possible, thanks.
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Uncle Bazi,
Wanna ask is it the hidden stem or the earth branch refer to your career fields?
Hi Kevin,
Hidden stem of month pillar refers to the industry that will give the maximum opportunities.
Thank you for reading my blog.
UncleBazi
Hi Uncle Bazi, is there another way to find career path? My Bazi Chart has many fire, does that mean my favourable element is water? I am ren water.
Thank you
Regards
Hi Kevin,
The another way is find your favorable element which in your case is water. However, water industry will not give you maximum opportunities as it is weak in your chart.
Thanks
Hi,

I also have DE in month pillar does it mean that i wont do well in big moon cake which is Fire related industry? if it is not what should i do well in?
Hi,
DE means that the energy is reduced by 50%, you need to work hard to fill up the DE and enlist help of noble people to increase the energy level. If you done that Fire industry will still give the maximum opportunities.

Hello, if Industry is based on hidden element of Month pillar, is the job role based on the dominant 10 gods?
Yes.
Regards
Hi Unclebazi
I read your article on career. Shouldn`t we look at the useful god too for that purpose. Not sure I have a follow leader chart but would like to hear your advice on career.Some people say I have a follower chart others that it`s fake follow or weak. But I can tell you i was born with a talento for drawing comics but gave up in my teens for music. Now I teach english but its irregular work.I like to make music

Hi, For job role or talent we look at useful god. For the industry that will give you the maximum opportunities or return, we look at the hidden stem of the month pillar. No, you do not have a follow leader chart. Your ten god which is EG is in your hidden stem which explains your passion/talent in arts and music.
Thanks
Could you clarify which are the earth-metal related industries? I’m a jia wood, born in you month (weak DM). The dominant element in my chart is earth. Currently I work in education and it is not very fulfiling.
Hi, the earth related industries are properties, real estates, natural resources, insurance, cement, bricks, and building materials. You can consider the earth industry which can give more opportunities and rewards than your current career. If you are interested to know about career and wealth, you can go to https://digidentz.com/services to buy your career and wealth reports which will have an in-depth analysis in both areas.
Thank you.
Another bazi sifu teaches the career with maximum returns is based on dominant element in the chart versus your example based on hidden stems.
Example if my chart has many earth element then maximum returns will be earth careers.
Noticed your method is different from the other one. Any reason?
Hi,
I look at the dominant element in the hidden stem of the month pillar as the month pillar represents career/business. If the hidden stem is earth in your month pillar then you should be in the earth industry to get maximum opportunities and returns. Dominant element means the energy in the element is strong which means there are maximum opportunities in that particular industry. Different Bazi sifu teaches different techniques as it depends on which master they learned from.
Please go to https://digidentz.com/services to check out the career report.
Thanks
Hello UncleBazi,
You mentioned there could be challenges in the Industry because dominant element is unfavourable.
Will it also be challenging to take a job position belonging to most dominant 10 god?
for e.g.
Wood is main element in hidden stem of Month branch, so maximum opportunities is in Wood Industry. Wood represent direct resource.
Which would have the challenges
– Taking up a direct resource job role
OR Working in Wood industry?
Thanks
Hi,
The dominant element refers to industry only. The ten gods refer to the job role. Working in the dominant industry will be challenging but not the job role as represented by the ten gods.

Hi, Uncle Bazi.
I have a question in regard to book publishing industry. I know that normally and traditionally, writing and publishing books is regarded as the wood industry as when you write you use paper and when you publish the manuscript into books, you require papers as well. But with the current market of eBook publishing, especially those sold online like Amazon, the Apple iBooks stores as well as Kobo and Google Play where people sell, buy, and read their fiction/non-fiction via their ipad, iphone, and laptop, wouldn’t that be more regarded as a fire industry? Becuase you’re using the computer and internet to write, sell and buy books?
Also, with writing as well. Before, yes authors write their manuscripts on paper, but now I would say everyone writes their work on a laptop using Microsoft Words or equivalent software. That would also be fire, too, wouldn’t it?
Or is book writing and publishing form the wood element base on something else and not how it is functioned? By using paper?
Thanks.
Hi,
Yes, e-book is classified under Fire industry. Anything related to technology and internet is considered Fire industry. If you print and sell the books in the book stores then it is under Wood industry.
Regards
What industry is physiotheraply classified under?
Hi,
It is under Earth industry.
Best regards
Hello UncleBazi,
My Day Pillar is Ji Mao. Because it is Yin Earth, does that mean my wealth depends on water element? But according to this article, working in metal industry would be better because my Month hidden stem is Xin (Yin Metal). Is this correct? Would I do fine in computer or technology related industry?
My chart is:
Hour | Day | Month | Year
Yi | Ji | Ji | Ding
Chou | Mao | You | Chou
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
The metal industry will give you the maximum return and opportunities. Computer or technology related industry which is under Fire industry will not give maximum opportunities and return.
Thanks
Hello UncleBazi,
Can a person pursue a job role that is related to their useful god if the UG is weak in their chart?
Weak useful god in the chart could mean having no affinity with matters related to the useful god.
e.g. if useful god is DW but DW is very weak in the chart, how can a person consider a DW job role if the traits of DW is weak in their chart?
For cases like this, shouldn’t the Job role be based on Most dominant gods in chart even if these gods are unfavourable to the owner’s chart because these represent their innate talent?
Hope you could help clarify this issue.
Regards
Hi,
You can use the dominant ten god in the hidden stem of the month pillar for your job role. Forget about UG.
Thanks
Thank you very much for clarification and taking the time to reply UncleBazi
Hi Uncle Bazi,
I am not sure whether I am weak or strong day master since my day master is metal but born in winter season. But my Bazi chart is surrounded by many metal elements.
That is hard for me to determine what are my favourable elements.
Do you mind to provide me some guidelines through my email:jeffrey.ongch@gmail.com
Thanks
Hi,
Could be moderately strong but need to see the overall configuration of the elements in your chart. You may want to do a full reading. Please go to https://digidentz.com/services to check out my services.

Hi!
You mentioned above that book writing is under wood industry, how about writing songs, is it still under wood industry? How about the music industry , is it wood or fire element? Im curious as my son is jia wood born on tiger month so his hidden stems are wood as friend star, fire as EG and earth as IW. My son wants to take up ab music major in composition and production. Is he in the right track to maximize his wealth capacity?
Hi,
I consider song-writing under the wood industry and music industry under the Fire industry as music is considered as an entertainment. As music composition and production involves a lot of creativity and artistic skills and your son has fire as EG (creativity skills) in his hidden stem of the month. You may want to consult me to confirm that as I do not see his overall chart. Please go to https://digidentz.com/services to check out my services.

Other master say that the month stem is the main determine for career. like Mr X who had a Bing on the month stem.
He should choose fire related jobs or business.
Please enlighten me
Thank you
Hi,
I use the hidden stem of the month pillar to choose the industry that will give you the maximum opportunities and return. The energy in the hidden stem of the month pillar is stronger than that in the heaven stem of the month pillar. This is the reason I use the hidden stem not the heaven stem. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Hi UncleBazi,
Job role in holistic medicine by touch falls under which elements (and the 10 gods additionaly)? I mean Reflexology/ Deep tissue massage/ Craniosacral therapy and so on… Thank you!
Hi,
I would classify under Wood element and EG under 10 gods as it is a creative art as there are many ways of doing it as the effectiveness depends on your creative skills.
Chiropractors and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine are also classified as wood industry.
Wish you a Very Happy New Year 2019.
Thank you so much for your detalied answer! I’d so hope to hear that 🙂
Happy New Year to you too!

Hi Uncle,
I am STRONG Yin Wood as DM, and my Month Earthly branch is “Wood”. My Hour Earthly branch is “Earth”. Should I engage in business that is Wood? or Earth (since earth is my wealth)?
Why I ask is because some Bazi experts tend to refer to HOUR EARTHLY BRANCH, rather than MONTH Branch.
I have a few options need your classification;
– set up an acupuncture and physiotherapy centre
– set up a mobile app that help users to get hourly jobs
– set up a payment gateway that help medical cannibis merchant to get payment
– set up a direct selling company selling slimming lingerie
Appreciate your opinion and advice.

Dear Uncle Bazi
Is stockbroking, securities trading, stocks & shares investing—Considered what element industry?
My Day Master is Yi Yin Wood, my Month Pillar Hidden Stem —Centre is Geng Metal, Right & left are Ren Water and Wu Earth, Zero Water in my Main BaZi Chart except for hidden stem; since my water is very Weak, should I be in Water related industry to support me?
Hi,
Stocks & shares investing is under Metal industry. Since Metal is the strongest in your hidden stem in your month pillar it is better to be in the Metal industry as water is not as strong as your Metal. You still can in the water industry as water is in your hidden stem of your month pillar, however, your opportunities will be less compared to metal industry.
