Combined Stems, Snake Punished

Job opportunities come through personal introductions and can be secured, but employment contracts and non-compete clauses may hide traps — read every word before signing. Male job-seekers fare relatively smoothly under this pattern; women should treat oral promises as unreliable and insist on everything in writing.

Wealth comes through partnerships and contracts — and leaks away through them too. Deals can close, but obligations buried in the clauses may later become bleeding points. Lending, advancing funds, and guarantees demand particular caution: have a third party review the documents, and never stand guarantee out of friendship.

The Ding-Ren combination signifies mutual affection: romance can succeed, and admirers are not lacking. But the snake punishment signifies entanglement — beware old flames resurfacing and ambiguous, unresolved attachments. Men fare well in love under this pattern; women should watch for partners concealing a marital history or their finances, and verify before committing.

Health is steady with an undercurrent of concern: urinary issues, gynecological matters, restless heart-fire, and insomnia predominate, and women especially should schedule a gynecological examination. Keep medical records and lab reports complete — they matter when transferring care or changing doctors.

The trip can proceed, but documents — tickets, visas, identity papers — are prone to slip-ups; verify every expiry date item by item before departure. In group travel, beware companions changing plans midway. Men travel relatively smoothly; women should travel accompanied and avoid going out alone at night.

Documents dragging one another along is this pattern's core image: lawsuits arise from contracts, notes, and written instruments, with voluminous files and slow procedure. A benefactor can help but will not volunteer — seek them out sincerely and ask. Written evidence is king; spoken words cannot be relied upon.
