Reading this sample
This is the Year Ahead book included in the 2027 Year Companion, written for an invented reader deciding whether to take a regional role in Kuala Lumpur. Zi Wei Dou Shu and BaZi are read together around that question. The full service also includes twelve monthly readings and follow-up questions through the year.
Start with the year's theme, then read a key month to see how the chart is explained. The final comparison returns to the reader's two choices.
Terms used in the chart notes
Each Chart basis note shows the calculation behind the reading. 命宮 means Life Palace, 財帛 is the wealth palace, 官祿 covers work, and 夫妻 is the spouse palace. 本命 refers to the birth chart, 大限 to a ten-year cycle, 流年 to the year and 流月 to the month.
祿, 權, 科 and 忌 name the Four Transformations. They describe gain, influence, recognition and obstruction in the traditional reading.
Each key month carries a badge that compares Zi Wei and BaZi on that month’s main domain: Both systems agree, One system only, or The two systems split.

Part I
The Year’s Shape
In 2027 your work gains through the people around you, so the thing to settle at your spring review is which choice keeps you inside a team you can rely on.
You wrote "Should I take the regional role in Kuala Lumpur or stay with my team in Singapore?" This chart puts the year's weight squarely on work, and it puts the year's gain for work in the part of your life that holds your colleagues, your staff and the people who follow your lead. Whichever way you go, 2027 pays out through people. Three months carry the question: the second lunar month (3/8 to 4/6), when the strongest work signal of the year arrives, and the ninth and tenth (9/30 to 10/28 and 10/29 to 11/27), when the two ways this book reads your chart disagree about work.
You want movement before your review in March 2027. That review falls inside the second lunar month, the strongest month of the year for work, and one where both readings point the same way, and point up. If the regional offer is still open by then, the review is the right room to discuss its terms, because it is the month when this chart gives your requests the most support. 🟢 Both readings agree.
You named your fear plainly: moving for the title and ending up alone there. The chart touches that fear in a specific place. The year's gain for work sits with your people, and the part of the chart that describes your partner carries movement this year, the kind that comes with travel and relocation, together with a drag that slows it down. So the risk you describe has a real form here: a role that takes you away from the team that makes your work pay, while the person at home is asked to adjust. The sign to take seriously is concrete. If the regional role comes with a title and only dotted lines, the fear has a basis. If it comes with people who report to you or work beside you in Kuala Lumpur, the year's gain can travel with you.
In the ninth lunar month the two readings part. One sees your standing at work rising, with this month's lift and the decade's stacked in the same place; the other sees a month where speaking up costs you with the people above you. I side with the first, because work is the strongest part of your year and this month doubles what the decade already gives it. 🔴 The two readings disagree, so say the difficult thing in the formal meeting and keep it out of the corridor. In the tenth lunar month they part again, the other way round. One sees papers and approvals snagging at work; the other sees formal backing and support around money. I side with the first, because a paperwork snag is cheap to catch and costly to miss. 🔴 Check every document that month before you lean on the support around it.
One more month belongs to your question. In the third lunar month (4/7 to 5/5), right after the review, the closest relationship in your life hits a snag that sits on top of a good decade for it. Only one reading sees this, 🟡 so hold it lightly; if a move is on the table, that is the month to talk it through at home before anything is signed.
Part II
Four Domains
The four chapters are not the same length, on purpose. Each is sized to how much weight the chart puts on that domain this year. For this reader work carries by far the most, so the career chapter is the longest and the other three are short.
Career
Work is the heaviest part of your year, and its gain arrives through the people you work with.
The year places your working life in the part of the chart that holds colleagues, staff and the people who follow your lead, and it puts the year's gain there, with recognition from this decade on top. In plain terms, 2027 rewards what you do with and through a team: the projects others can join, the people you train, the colleagues who vouch for you when you are not in the room. Work you carry alone, however good, gets less of the year's help.
The rhythm starts strong. The second lunar month (3/8 to 4/6) is the clearest lift of the year, and it covers your review. From the third to the seventh lunar month work runs quietly, with nothing on the chart asking you to move. The eighth (9/1 to 9/29) lifts the practical side of the job, pay and resources included. The ninth (9/30 to 10/28) and tenth (10/29 to 11/27) are where the chart argues with itself, and the eleventh and twelfth (11/28 to 12/27 and 12/28 to 1/25) end the year with steady backing from the people above you.
For your question, this is the chapter to reread. A role that moves you away from the people who make your work pay spends the year's main asset. A role that gives you people of your own takes that asset with you.
Money
Money is steady this year, and the decade you are in helps it.
Money sits in a comfortable place in 2027. The part of the chart that holds your income this year is bright, and the decade you are in adds its own gain there, so the year's finances lean on something that has been building for a while. Money has no drama of its own this year; its rhythm follows work. The eighth lunar month (9/1 to 9/29) is the one to talk about pay, and the tenth (10/29 to 11/27) is the one to read every figure twice, because the paperwork around work and money snags at the same time.
Love
Love this year comes with movement, and it asks for long conversations.
The part of your chart that holds your partner carries movement in 2027, the kind that comes with travel and relocation, and a drag that slows it down. The year also puts recognition there, so what you say to each other lands and is remembered. For someone weighing a move to another city, the chart is plain about where the friction shows up: the third lunar month (4/7 to 5/5), right after your review, puts a snag between you and the person closest to you, on top of a decade that is otherwise good for the relationship. The fifth lunar month (6/5 to 7/3) is warmer, and the eleventh (11/28 to 12/27) steadier.
Body & Pace
Your capacity is good this year; the strain gathers in how much you carry in your head.
This year's health area is solid, with well-placed stars, a cheerful yearly influence and the decade adding force. You will have the energy for a demanding year. The strain sits elsewhere. The part of your chart that describes your body in every year of your life carries both this year's obstruction and this decade's, along with a push to keep going, and the obstruction there is the kind that comes from rumination and too much talking. In practice that looks like evenings spent replaying conversations and sleep cut short by planning. The first lunar month (2/6 to 3/7) and the seventh (8/2 to 8/31) pull hardest on your pace; protect your sleep on purpose in both.
Part III
The Key Months
This chart flags 4 months. Each reading first says why this month, then how it moves, then puts the reader’s two options back into it, and ends with signs to watch in real life.
Second lunar month: The review, with the wind behind you
3/8 to 4/6 · Career · Both systems agree
Why this month
The second lunar month earns its own chapter because the year's work signal peaks here, and it peaks in the same place twice: this month's gain for work lands where your chart has held a gain since birth, in the part of the chart about clearing away the old and starting fresh. Work this month also sits in the area that governs how satisfied you feel, so the lift is one you will notice in yourself. Both readings agree on it, and of the twelve months it moves the most. It is also the month of your review.
How the month moves
This is the month when doors that were closed can open, and when you have more say than usual in what the next year of your work looks like. It comes with pressure, the testing kind that pushes you to prove yourself and rewards you when you do. Expect to feel more ambitious than tired.
Your review falls inside this window. It is the natural place to put the regional role on the table, whichever way you lean, because it is where your questions about scope, team and support are most likely to get straight answers. The month also sets your own centre of gravity in the part of the chart that belongs to your partner, which means the person you live with is part of this decision whether or not they are in the room.
Money this month leaks a little toward wants. Nothing here changes the picture, and it is a good reason to hold off on large purchases tied to a move you have not agreed yet.
Situations and options
If the regional role has already been offered, this month suits putting your conditions into words: who reports to you, who you report to, and what happens to your current team. If it has only been hinted at, the review suits asking for it to be made concrete, in writing, with a date. If you already lean toward staying, this is the month to ask for the next step in Singapore, because the chart backs a request for more scope here as much as there. In each case the month suits asking, and the deciding can wait for the answers.
What to watch
You walk out of the review with the regional role described in writing, with its scope, the people in it and a start date; that is this month doing its job. The conversation keeps circling back to title and salary, and nobody can tell you who would work beside you in Kuala Lumpur; that is your cue to ask again before anything is agreed.
Third lunar month: The talk at home, right after the review
4/7 to 5/5 · Love · One system only
Why this month
The third lunar month gets its own chapter because the closest relationship in your life hits a snag here, and the snag lands on top of something good: this month's obstruction for your partner falls exactly where your decade has been giving that relationship support. Your own attention this month sits with peers and siblings, so you will be talking to a lot of people about the move. Only one of the two readings sees this month's trouble in love and the other stays silent, so read what follows as a lighter call to check against what actually happens.
How the month moves
Coming straight after the review, this is the month when a possible move stops being yours alone. Whatever you heard in the review becomes a question for the person you live with, and the chart suggests the first conversations will scrape. The friction has a particular shape: a sharp, impatient edge that makes small disagreements feel larger than they are, inside a relationship that has been in good shape for years.
The snag is this month's and the support is the decade's, so the month tests something the longer cycle keeps holding up. Treated as information, the friction tells you exactly what your partner fears about Kuala Lumpur, and that is the missing piece in any comparison you make later in the year.
Work is quiet this month, which helps. You have room to give the conversation at home the time it needs.
Situations and options
If a regional offer is on the table, this month suits laying it out at home with its real numbers: how often you would fly back, and who would move. If the offer is still vague, it suits a smaller conversation about what each of you wants from a year like this, before any city is named. If you already know you will stay, this month suits saying so clearly, because an open question at home costs more this month than a disappointing answer.
What to watch
Your partner asks practical questions about the move, about flights and weekends, and you can answer most of them. The same argument comes back three times in the month and never gets past its first sentence; put the plan down and ask what exactly they are afraid of.
Ninth lunar month: Seen at work, careful with the people above
9/30 to 10/28 · Career · The two systems split
Why this month
The ninth lunar month earns its own chapter because it is the second busiest month of your year, most of it at work, and the two readings disagree about it. One sees this month's lift for work stacking on the decade's, in the part of the chart about visibility and being seen. The other sees friction that shows up when you speak against the people above you.
How the month moves
Six months after your review, this is the month when your work is most visible. Whichever path you took, the people above you are paying attention, and credit that has been building since spring can land now. If you went to Kuala Lumpur, this is when the regional results carry your name. If you stayed, this is when the team's work is presented upward.
The second reading adds a warning about tone. The pressure this month comes out as sharp opinions, the ones that are right and badly timed. I side with the first reading: the opening is real, and it doubles what your decade has been giving your work. The second reading changes how you use it. 🔴 The two readings disagree, so say the hard thing in the formal meeting, with the numbers in front of you, and keep it out of the corridor and the group chat.
Money is mixed this month and asks for nothing special. Keep the month's energy for work.
Situations and options
If you took the regional role, this month suits presenting results in person to the people who approved the move, and asking what comes next. If you stayed, it suits putting your name on the team's work where the people above you will see it, alongside the names of the people who did it with you. If you are still deciding, the question has run long, and this month's visibility is a good moment to find out where you stand before the year ends.
What to watch
Someone above you asks you to present, lead or represent the team; the month is working. A disagreement with a manager moves from a meeting into messages and starts to feel personal; stop replying in writing and ask for a conversation.
Tenth lunar month: Read the paperwork, then trust the support
10/29 to 11/27 · Career, Money · The two systems split
Why this month
The tenth lunar month gets its own chapter because work and money move together here, and the two readings pull opposite ways. One sees this month's obstruction land on the paperwork of your job: contracts, approvals, documents. The other sees formal backing from the people above you and support around money.
How the month moves
This is a month of forms. Renewals, relocation papers, a revised contract, a performance write-up: whatever work produces on paper this month tends to come back with an error, a missing signature or a clause nobody explained. Your own attention this month is out and about, in the part of the chart that covers travel and life away from home, so you may be dealing with these papers from a hotel room or a new desk.
The second reading is warmer, with authority on your side and money arriving through less usual channels. I side with the first reading, because a snag in paperwork is cheap to catch and expensive to miss, and the support the second reading points to will still be there once the papers are right. 🔴 The two readings disagree, so treat this month's good news as provisional until it is in writing.
Money follows the same pattern as work: help is available, and the figures need checking before you rely on it.
Situations and options
If you moved, this month suits going through every document tied to the move line by line, starting with tax residency and the return clause. If you stayed, it suits checking what your spring review turned into on paper, the scope and the pay, before the year closes. If a new offer appears this month, it suits asking for it in writing and taking a week before you answer.
What to watch
Every figure you check matches what you were told, and the approvals arrive when promised. You find one number, one date or one clause that differs from what was agreed; get it corrected before you sign anything else.
Part IV
The Remaining Months
The other 8 months are quieter on this chart, so they get two or three lines each: only the one thing that is specific to that month. A quiet month written up as drama would make the 4 key months worth less.
First lunar month
2/6 to 3/7
Money comes in and goes out through the same people: a small gain, and a colleague or friend who asks you to cover something. Lend only what you would not chase. Work is quiet, and the year's first real move comes next month.
Fourth lunar month
5/6 to 6/4
You are noticed for something you did yourself, and the credit is personal. At home the edge from last month lingers a little, and small disagreements flare and pass. Keep the move out of arguments about the dishes.
Fifth lunar month
6/5 to 7/3
A warm month for the relationship, and plans you make together now tend to hold. Costs shared with friends or family run a little over, so split them clearly. Your body gets an easier stretch; take the rest while it is on offer.
Sixth lunar month
7/4 to 8/1
The quietest month of your year, and its chart repeats the year's own pattern in miniature. Use it to reread your first chapter against what has happened since spring. Expenses shared with peers creep up; keep an eye on any joint account.
Seventh lunar month
8/2 to 8/31
Trips and dealings away from home go well, with helpful people along the way. Closer in, a friend or sibling misreads your plans; explain once and leave it there. Your energy runs lower than usual, so leave room between trips.
Eighth lunar month
9/1 to 9/29
Pay and practical resources move your way, which makes this a good month to ask what the job is worth, or what a move would need to be worth. Work feels productive. Rest slips a little; guard one quiet evening a week.
Eleventh lunar month
11/28 to 12/27
Things settle. The people above you back what you have been doing, and the relationship feels steadier than it did in spring. A good month to close what the autumn opened, and to take stock of how your body has held up.
Twelfth lunar month
12/28 to 1/25
The year closes with work in good standing and money steady. The relationship asks for time together at home, and plans that pull you away over the holidays meet resistance. If you are working away, book the trip home early.
Part V
Two Roads Compared
You are deciding whether to take the regional role in Kuala Lumpur or stay with your team in Singapore, and you fear moving for the title and ending up alone there.
Option A
Take the regional role in Kuala Lumpur
- When this path fits
- This path fits when the role comes with people: a team in Kuala Lumpur that reports to you, or colleagues you already trust making the move with you. Your chart's gain for work sits with the people around you this year, so a role that gives you people takes that gain along.
- Main risk
- The price is distance from the team that has made your work count, and a first six months spent building relationships from zero while your partner adjusts at home. If the role turns out to be a title with dotted lines, you pay that price without the gain.
- When to re-judge
- The ninth lunar month (9/30 to 10/28), about six months in. Look at whether the regional results carry your name, and whether there are people in Kuala Lumpur you would call your team.
- Still-missing real-world fact
- Who, by name, would you work with in Kuala Lumpur, and who would you report to? That answer outranks the title and the salary, and you can ask it before you accept.
Option B
Stay with my team in Singapore
- When this path fits
- This path fits when your team is the reason your work goes well and it will still be there next year. The chart puts the year's gain exactly there, and the spring review is strong enough to ask for more scope without moving.
- Main risk
- The price is a regional opening that may not come back in the same form, and the chance that staying turns into standing still if nothing changes after the review.
- When to re-judge
- The second lunar month (3/8 to 4/6), at your review. Look at whether staying comes with a concrete next step: more scope, more people, a date.
- Still-missing real-world fact
- Will the regional role be offered again, to you or to someone on your team, within two years? If it will, staying costs less than it seems today.
Both paths have a version that keeps you inside a team, and you are the one who knows which version is on offer.
