Too Exhausted to Apply for Jobs: A Zi Wei Dou Shu Checklist

Separate career options from energy, health, and cash constraints.

Before treating an annual Career or Travel Palace signal as an instruction to resign, review real capacity. One worker has interviews but no time after long shifts; another can apply but lacks cash for a job gap. Compare duties, outside offers, health needs, and savings before setting a timeline.

An active annual Travel Palace can justify exploring options, not an immediate resignation. Check energy, medical needs, written offers, and savings first.
