The same Lian Zhen Hua Lu can frame different questions in different palaces. In the Career Palace, ask what work you can deliver: negotiation, coordination, or managing rules. In the Friends Palace, ask who creates an introduction and what role that person holds.
A consultant may meet a buyer through a friend yet win renewal only through a useful deliverable. A social contact may also offer an opportunity before any service is ready. Trace the path from introduction to work to payment through the Friends, Career, and Wealth Palaces. Then check actual agreements and receipts. Keep natal and annual transformations separate so that a short-term opening is not described as a permanent income pattern.
