'Should I return to my old employer?' contains at least two questions: whether the role fits your longer-term direction, and whether the particular offer is workable now. Treating them as one yes-or-no prediction hides important differences.
Start With What Has Changed
List why you left, why a return is being discussed, and what is different about the proposed role. A new title does not necessarily mean a different manager, workload, or decision-making structure.
Keep the Interpretive Methods in Context
Zi Wei Dou Shu readings commonly discuss a broader career pattern, while a Liu Yao question focuses on a particular situation. Neither method can verify an employer's promises or guarantee an outcome. Define the question before comparing interpretations.
Check the Offer Against Your Priorities
Compare responsibilities, reporting lines, hours, location, and written terms with the reasons you originally left. If the reading suggests a period of change, ask how that differs from the practical changes already visible. Keep unresolved facts unresolved rather than filling the gaps with a favorable chart explanation.
