More clients can arrive while take-home income stays flat. Hua Lu in the Wealth Palace may describe a wider entry point for money. Hua Ji in the Career Palace may point to trouble delivering the work. A sale, a completed project, and net cash are different steps.
Follow the money through the work
A freelance designer signs four projects but spends extra weeks on revisions. Without limits on changes, the hourly return falls. The useful response is to set milestones, deposits, and revision terms, not to collect more orders.
A manager may control a larger company budget without getting a raise. A shop may grow sales while inventory and platform fees rise. In each case, distinguish resources handled from money owned.
Check the chart against accounts
Read Wealth and Career with their supporting palaces, then label the decade and annual layers. Ask where the process slows: opportunity, delivery, collection, or retention. Inspect invoices, costs, and pay terms before calling a chart favorable or unfavorable for income.
