The Year Pillar is Geng-Shen, with the 7-Kill Star appearing in both stems and branches, strongly clashing with the Day Master Jia (Wood), causing a sudden increase in career pressure, with external challenges (oil crisis) as fierce as the 7-Kill. The earthly branch Shen of the Year Pillar merges, clashes, and conflicts with the earthly branch Si of the Month Pillar (Si-Shen Water merger filled with contradiction and损耗), and the Shen metal (7-Kill) harms the Hai water of the Decade Pillar, exacerbating the pain of internal turmoil and adjustment. The birth chart favors Water and Wood.
