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 may occur in the first two years. Below, we will analyze this using 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." 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 smartphone system update — there may be temporary lag during the process, but after the update, it becomes more compatible with new needs. The first half often brings a sense of "detachment," such as someone 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. A certain entrepreneur closed an unprofitable project three years before Jue Da Yun, which led to a short-term drop in income, but later successfully transformed based on accumulated experience — this is a typical example of "finding hope in desperation."

The second half enters a "period of energy recovery," similar to winter ending and spring arriving, 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 transitioning into 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," just 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 are likely to face obstacles.

How Is the First Two Years of Jue Da Yun?

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

Firstly, "relationship reshuffling." Old networks and collaborations may naturally fade away or even cause conflicts. For example, an employee once had a conflict with the team due to differences in philosophy during the first year of Jue Da Yun. This is not necessarily bad; it's a process of energy selection, and those who remain are more aligned with future directions. Like cleaning out a wardrobe, getting rid of clothes that don't fit allows space for new ones.

Secondly, "directional confusion." Many people feel uncertain about their life goals during the first two years, such as someone who has worked for many years suddenly losing passion, or an entrepreneur feeling confused about the project's prospects. This happens because the old motivation system fails, and the new one hasn't been formed yet, like a ship temporarily losing its direction and needing to reorient itself. A designer found a new creative direction through traveling and learning new skills during the first two years, and the period of confusion actually became a foundation for transformation.

Lastly, "hidden consumption." The body may experience inexplicable fatigue and emotional low moods, like a phone battery draining quickly without knowing the cause. At this time, reducing excessive consumption is needed, such as adjusting sleep schedules and simplifying social interactions. A white-collar worker maintained good physical condition during the first two years by sticking to early sleeping and meditation, even though he didn’t do anything significant, the improvement in his physical state laid the foundation for later efforts.

The core of the first two years is "accepting temporary imperfection." There's no need to rush for quick results. Just like nurturing a newly transplanted sapling, patience is required to smoothly transition. Related Q&A
Q: Which people are more likely to gain good luck during the ten years of Jue Da Yun?
A: People who are good at "accumulating during pauses." For example, maintaining the habit of learning new skills, organizing past experiences, and maintaining core relationships. A programmer, for instance, continued to learn new technologies during Jue Da Yun and was the first to seize the opportunity when the industry recovered. On the other hand, those who blame fate and refuse to change tend to be driven by the fortune, making it difficult to take control of opportunities proactively.

Q: How to adjust your mindset if you feel pain during the first two years of Jue Da Yun?
A: View "losses" as "selections." For example, when losing a job, tell yourself, "This isn't failure, but the removal of an incompatible gear." When feeling confused, replace anxiety with "small actions," such as reading for half an hour a day or learning a small skill. A professional managed to ease anxiety by consistently keeping a diary, and during the first two years, not only did he relieve stress, but also unexpectedly discovered his potential in writing.
