In traditional Chinese astrology, the "Jue Da Yun" (绝大运) is often misunderstood as "an absolutely bad period of fortune," but in fact, it is a critical phase of energy transformation. Many people are concerned about the overall trend during these ten years of Jue Da Yun, especially the changes that occur in the first two years. Below, we analyze this through common analogies and real-life cases.

Is the Ten-Year Period of Jue Da Yun Good or Bad?

The ten-year period of Jue Da Yun cannot be simply judged as "good" or "bad." It is more like a "period of life maintenance and upgrade," and whether it is good or bad depends on whether one can follow the laws of energy.

Essentially, Jue Da Yun marks the end of old patterns and the birth of new ones, much like a phone system update — there may be temporary lag during the process, but after the update, it will better suit new needs. The first half often brings a sense of "detachment," such as losing a familiar job or leaving an unsuitable relationship at the beginning of Jue Da Yun. These may seem like losses, but they actually create space for new opportunities. For example, an entrepreneur closed an unprofitable project three years before Jue Da Yun, which led to a short-term drop in income, but later successfully transitioned using accumulated experience — this is a typical case of "finding life in adversity."

The second half enters a "period of energy recovery," similar to winter turning into spring, where frozen soil melts and seeds begin to sprout. Some people find a new direction in the fifth year of Jue Da Yun, such as a teacher who transitions into becoming an education influencer, leveraging past experience to achieve new success. However, if one resists change in the early stage and clings to old paths, the ten years might lead to a situation of "struggling but stagnating," like a phone that refuses to update its system and eventually gets left behind by the new environment. Therefore, the key to the ten years of Jue Da Yun is "being brave enough to let go and accumulate effectively." Those who actively adjust can gain growth, while those who passively resist may face obstacles.

How Is the First Two Years of Jue Da Yun?

The first two years of Jue Da Yun are the "most obvious stage of energy impact," like aftershocks after an earthquake, where the old balance is broken, and three types of changes often occur:

Firstly, "relationship reshuffling." Past networks and collaborations may naturally become distant or even cause conflicts. For instance, an employee once had a conflict with their team due to differences in ideas during the first year of Jue Da Yun. This is not necessarily bad; it is a process of energy screening, and what remains will be more aligned with future directions. Like cleaning out a wardrobe, removing clothes that no longer fit makes space for new ones.

Secondly, "directional confusion." Many people may question their life goals during the first two years, such as someone who has worked for many years suddenly losing passion, or an entrepreneur feeling uncertain about the project's future. This happens because the old motivation system fails, and the new one has not yet formed, like temporarily losing your way at sea and needing to reorient yourself. A designer found a new creative direction during the first two years by traveling and learning new skills — the period of confusion actually became a foundation for transformation.

Lastly, "hidden consumption." The body may experience unexplained fatigue or easily feel down, like a phone battery draining quickly without knowing the cause. At this time, it is important to reduce excessive consumption, such as adjusting sleep schedules and simplifying social interactions. A white-collar worker improved his physical condition during the first two years by maintaining early sleeping habits and meditating, even though he didn't do anything significant, and this improvement laid the foundation for later progress.

The core of the first two years is "accepting temporary imperfection." Don't rush to achieve results; be patient and nurture yourself like a newly transplanted seedling, so that you can smoothly transition. Related Questions
Q: During the ten years of Jue Da Yun, who is more likely to receive good fortune?
A: People who are skilled at "accumulating during pauses." For example, keeping up with learning new skills, organizing past experiences, and maintaining core relationships. A programmer who continued learning new technologies during Jue Da Yun was able to seize opportunities when the industry recovered. On the other hand, those who complain and refuse to change are easily pushed by the flow of fortune and struggle to take initiative.

Q: If I feel pain during the first two years of Jue Da Yun, how can I adjust my mindset?
A: View "losses" as "screening." For example, when losing a job, tell yourself, "This is not failure, but an incompatible gear being replaced." When feeling confused, replace anxiety with "small actions," such as reading for half an hour daily or learning a small skill. A professional person alleviated anxiety by keeping a journal and, in the process, unexpectedly discovered their writing potential.
