Im-ja Day Pillar: traits and personality

You resemble a wide sea at its deepest in the middle of the night. You look calm on the surface, but you hold a big current inside, and once you move, you do not stop easily. Rob Wealth sits in the Earthly Branch of your Day Pillar, so you hate losing and actually gain strength from competition. Your Twelve Life Stage is Peak, a state where energy is at its fullest, and you feel a strong urge to run the show yourself. Your mind works fast and you have an eye for the whole picture. Like water that goes around a rock and still reaches the sea, you find another way when something blocks you. You keep secrets well and do not easily show what is in your heart. You also have the warmth to give generously to your own people.

What you do well

You have the nerve to stay undaunted even in hard situations. You see the big picture, decide fast and can lead people. The more rivals you have, the better you get, and once you set a goal you hold on to it stubbornly. You are not afraid to break new ground.

What to watch out for

With such strong energy, you can easily push things your own way. At times you end up in a quiet power struggle even with people close to you. There are many moments when going together gets you more than winning, so practice being relaxed enough to step back.

In love

Once you feel something, you fall deep and hard. You may act indifferent outside, but inside you think about your partner for a long time and want to protect them. You have a strong urge to take the lead, so deciding without hearing your partner out can hurt their feelings. If your partner has a similar energy, you may argue often, so respect each other's territory.

Career and working style

Your skills come alive in a competitive environment. Sales, business, trade and negotiation, work that needs you to read the big picture and move fast, suit you. Instead of trying to do everything yourself, share the work with people you trust, and the whole game gets much bigger and the results steadier. Practicing seeing colleagues as teammates rather than rivals helps.

How you spend money

Money flows in and out in large amounts. You can earn big, but you also spend generously on the people around you. Setting aside part of what comes in first will calm the flow.
