Why do contemporary women prioritize career over romance?

為何當代女命「事業腦」勝過「戀愛腦」?

In Bazi, discussions about women's destinies often revolve around the terms "Guan Sha" (官殺). In ancient texts on destiny, the "Guan" star represented the husband, serving as a woman's reliance and destiny for the latter half of her life. However, with the changing times, "Zheng Guan" (正官) and "Qi Sha" (七殺) in Bazi not only signify your husband and romantic relationships but also your career, reputation, superiors, and control over the world. Instead of getting entangled in ambiguous romantic relationships, it's better to project this energy into your career and workplace. 

From a Bazi structural perspective, the Guan Sha stars represent a "restraining" force for women. This "restraint" is not merely suppression but a form of discipline, regulation, and shaping. In the workplace, this force manifests as promotions from bosses, the authority of a position, and social recognition. In love, it becomes the partner's protection or entanglement. Why is it said that when one's career develops well, their marital prospects are usually not too bad?

When a woman can harness the energy of Guan Sha in her career, it means that her life's level has reached a point where she can coexist peacefully with this "authoritative force," and even transform it into her own asset. A woman who can navigate the workplace with ease and is highly regarded by her "Guan" star, meaning her superiors or boss, will undoubtedly possess a stable and dignified inner aura. The confidence nurtured by such career success will naturally attract compatible individuals. Conversely, if one focuses solely on love and neglects their career, they will gradually become humble and sensitive, making them more susceptible to romantic setbacks.

However, not all destinies can sail smoothly in the face of Guan Sha, which brings us to the crucial distinction between "strong self" (身強) and "weak self" (身弱). In numerology, there's an important standard called "strong self can bear wealth and officials" (身強可任財官). A woman with a strong self means abundant personal energy, and Guan Sha is favorable for them, serving as the best whetstone. When they choose to be "career-minded" and focus on climbing the ladder of power and accumulating wealth, the Guan Sha stars will transform into prominent fame and social status. In this configuration, love is merely icing on the cake, because they can "bear" this power; whether facing a dominant husband or demanding career goals, they can control it with ease. For them, pursuing a career is the best way to enhance their appearance; when the Guan Sha aura transforms into a career landscape, the entire person exudes an inviolable dignity and charm.

Unfortunately, in reality, many women fall into the trap of being "burdened by their husbands," which often stems from a destiny of "weak self with mixed Guan Sha." Individuals with a weak self inherently have fluctuating inner energy; if Zheng Guan and Qi Sha are intertwined in their birth chart, it's like internal and external troubles arriving simultaneously. In their careers, this manifests as malicious individuals causing trouble, excessive pressure, or frequently encountering unfair treatment. In relationships, it shows up as easily attracting bad romantic prospects, scoundrels, or losing oneself due to over-reliance on a partner. For those with this kind of destiny, if they cling to a "love-obsessed" mindset, they will only be dragged into an abyss by heavy emotional burdens.
