AFTERWORD

Heard sometimes companies might want to check some "traditional metrics" for leadership roles. Here's my curious insightful research (of course, I wouldn't share if these weren't auspicious)


  1. 1. ZI WEI DOU SHU (紫微斗數)
  • + Self Palace (命宮): Tian Xiang 天相 (Minister) with Tian Xi 天喜 (Joy).
  • + Travel Palace (遷移宮): Zi Wei 紫微 (Emperor), Hua Quan 化權 (Power), Jiang Jun 將軍 (General), Guo Yin 國印 (Seal).
  • + Career Palace (官祿宮): no main stars containing Tian Yue 天鉞 (Medal), opposite to Lian Zhen 廉貞 (Integrity) and Tan Lang 貪狼 (Wolf).
  • + Tian Kui 天魁 (Laureate) in Mental Palace (福德宮).

2. HOROSCOPE:

  1. Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Taurus Career House

  2. 3. NUMEROLOGY:
  3. Life Path: 8 (power & authority)
  4. Career Number 5 (adaptability & versatility)

  5. 4. MBTI:
  6. INFP-A – intuitive leadership meets decisive action

Past achievements are valuable guides, not definitive limits. They shape who I am, but not who I will become. Life has given us a palette of colors through our traits and insights. Yet painting our career and life masterpiece requires both skill and courage

- a journey of learning until our final brushstroke.


The key is finding an environment where our strengths naturally flourish;

when we’re thriving in work we believe along with what we do best.

From that, flaws fade away and growth becomes inevitable.
