Work
Your charts, read as colleagues
For colleagues, ezfate weighs Day Masters and Cross links most. This is what those parts of your two charts say.
Day Masters
30% of the score (Work)
88Day Masters show the working dynamic. Checking (剋) is normal in a hierarchy, so it scores better here than between partners.
Cross links
30% of the score (Work)
75Cross links weigh most at work: they show how meetings, handovers and feedback tend to go.
Strongest point: Zodiac signs (95)To work on: Cross links (75)
Who you are to each other
Each Day Master read as a ten god in the other person's chart.
Person B in Person A's chart
Direct OfficerPower
A natural authority over you (官星, the classic boss star). Their standards push you; it works best when they really are the senior one.

Direct WealthWealth
Someone you naturally direct (the classic subordinate pattern). You assign, they execute; check in rather than micromanage.
The pillars that speak to this relationship
Heaven and earth combine (天合地合)
Your day stems combine and your day branches form a six harmony: one of the strongest classical signs of a bond.
Working self (month pillars)
The month pillar is the self at work: pace, methods and ambitions.
No direct link: neutral ground you shape yourselves.
No linkGeneration (year pillars)
The year pillar is your background and age group: first impressions and shared references.
They combine: this side of the relationship comes easily.

How Bazi reads a working relationship
At work, the question is less "do we like each other" than "how do we work together". The work score is built around that.
- Day Masters, 30%: the working dynamic. Checking (剋) is normal in a hierarchy, so it scores better than between partners.
- Cross links, 30%: how meetings, handovers and feedback tend to go.
- Roles: is the other person your Officer (a natural boss), your Wealth (someone you direct) or your peer (比劫)?
- Working self (月柱): the month pillars show pace and methods.
The spouse palaces count only 5% here: day-to-day intimacy matters little between colleagues.
Boss and subordinate: the ten-god roles
Classical Bazi gives authority to the Officer stars (官星): someone whose Day Master checks yours tends to feel like a boss, even when they are not. Someone your Day Master checks reads as Wealth (財星), a person you naturally direct. A Resource (印星) colleague is a mentor; a peer (比劫) is a rival or teammate.
The best working pairs match the chart's roles to the real ones: a boss who reads as the subordinate's Officer. When the roles are reversed, the junior may end up setting the standard; name it and divide responsibilities clearly.
Coworkers on the same level
Between peers, a same-element pair (比和) understands each other's methods instantly but competes for the same projects. A feeding pair (相生) makes a natural handover: one creates, one delivers. Combining pairs (干合) work best on joint projects.
The year pillars add generation and working style: colleagues of very different ages read best when each respects the other's pace.
Using the result at work
Treat the weakest factor as a process to put in place, not a person to avoid. Many clashes: agree on written handovers. A low element exchange: keep meetings short and focused. An Officer colleague who is not your boss: ask for their standards up front instead of waiting for corrections.
