Professions and activities based on the 5 elements (ba-tzu)

Professions and activities based on the 5 elements (ba-tzu)

Dear colleagues! I would like to note that the opinions of different masters regarding the belonging of professions to one or another element in the ba zi chart , namely: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal , often do not agree. I tried to analyze this issue as much as possible and bring to your attention a simple method for determining whether professions belong to elemental elements . Of course, I cannot include all existing professions and specialties in this review. But if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. So...Have you ever asked yourself the following questions: “Did I choose my profession ? Does it bring me moral satisfaction and good income? If such questions arise, most likely your profession or field of activity does not suit you in elements. If work as an element is not favorable for you, you will never earn much. There are good periods in the life of any person, but they pass, and again everything becomes the way it was, unfortunately. about choosing a profession according to Ba Zi is that it not only helps you find a suitable profession that will bring you a good income. By doing your own thing, something that is beneficial for yourself, you can still correct an unfavorable period in your life and maintain your health. Let's try to sort out this difficult issue. Important! When determining a profession and type of activity: - it is necessary to determine the main (leading) element of the personality - this is the goal of the activity; - it is necessary to determine the auxiliary elements - these are materials and tools, as well as the place and style of work. The purpose of the activity prevails over tools and materials. It’s difficult to say in percentage terms, about 70/30% approximately, but not 50/50%, that’s for sure. The basic rules for determining which element a particular activity or specialty belongs to (also applies to additional work/earnings and hobbies) are as follows: 1. It is necessary to determine what the person is in contact with. If the profession is working, then according to the material that is processed by a person. Let's say, when a person deals with metal parts or tools, if he is a car mechanic, for example, then such a person deals with the Metal , and if a person is a mason and builds brickwork, then with the Earth element. However, if a person is a crane operator or excavator operator by profession, then he works in Metal , but on Earth. What is the leading element in this case? Metal? But no. Earth, because these specialties are applicable exclusively in construction - buildings, structures, roads, bridges, and any construction is the Earth. It’s even more difficult with welders: they work where - in construction, i.e. on Earth, works with something – Metal, works with something – Fire. All of the listed specialists are first and foremost builders, and their leading element is the Earth, and only then are they crane operators, welders, masons, etc. I hope the principle is clear. In other words, we must not lose sight of the fact that at present the interpenetration of different elements in modern specialties and activities is a fairly common phenomenon.

2. Consideration should be given to where the person works. If a person, for example, is a lawyer (or more correctly, a legal consultant), and jurisprudence is always Metal, but he does not work in the field of criminal law (which is also Metal), but in companies operating in other areas, then our lawyer adds to himself auxiliary element: - Land, if he works in a construction company or in the field of land law; — Water, if he works in medicine, in the service sector or in the field of water law; - Wood - in agriculture, textile production, etc., - Fire - in energy, chemical industry, etc.

3. It is necessary to analyze the profession or specialty into its components in more detail. For example, some masters classify most engineering and technical specialties as Metal, but this is far from true. After all, electricity and energy are Fire. It is interesting that computers, tablets, smartphones and other gadgets also belong to Fire, and information technology as the transfer of information, as well as software, should be classified as Water. Here you can return to paragraphs. 1 and 2, and carry out a similar analysis. Who, what, on what and where our engineer works. Since we started with construction, let’s continue and look at the example of a civil engineer (let him be a designer). In any case, the leading element of his specialty is the Earth. If he works in a design institute or company whose main activity is the design of buildings and structures, this is again the Earth. If our designer is mainly involved in calculations and design of reinforced concrete structures, this is again Earth, and if metal or wooden structures are involved, Metal and Wood, respectively (but these factors add the corresponding elements no longer significantly). If an engineer draws or calculates on a computer, he adds Fire, if manually on paper, he adds Wood (these factors are also not so significant). And if the designer works in the design department of a metal structures plant, then the percentage of additional Metal will be higher.

Let's look at medicine. Some masters believe that medicine is Wood and Water, because Wood is associated with health and a patient attitude towards other people, and Water is the flow of life. I am among those who believe that in the medical profession the leading element is only Water. But medicine and medical practice always consists of several elements (at least two), depending on the direction. An additional element is: in cardiology - Fire (since the circulatory system and the heart belong to Fire), in surgery, orthopedics and dentistry - Metal, in homeopathy, naturopathy, rehabilitation, alternative medicine - Wood, in endocrinology - Earth. And if the surgeon, for example, is a military man, then this is already twice Metal, and it becomes very significant. There is an opinion that Eastern medicine is Wood, and Western medicine is Metal, which is completely wrong, this is too narrow a view.

4. You should definitely take into account exactly how you are busy at work, what your position and job responsibilities are, and what your working style is. This is an opportunity for correction, even if you cannot or do not want to change your profession, the work suits you, but you would like to make it more profitable. For example, if you need Water, but the element of your profession is different, you can at least get a job where you will need to go on business trips more often or communicate more, work with clients, partners, etc., and such activity will already correspond to the expressed energy Water. If you manage a team or consult, add Metal to yourself. Metal is associated with precise planning and punctuality. Land is associated with the preservation of values, stability, immobility. To add Earth, you need to become more diligent, immobile, choose a style of work so that you don’t run around the office or enterprise yourself, but so that people come to your office. Don’t go to clients’ homes, but have them come to your work or office. Fire is associated with activity, the ability to “light up” others, arouse in them enthusiasm and interest in work, and lead them. And finally, if you start offering interesting creative solutions and ideas (at absolutely any job), you will add the Wood element to yourself. Of course, this way you won’t be able to add a large percentage of the required element, but it’s still better than nothing.

5. And one more thing. If there is absolutely no opportunity or desire to change your main job, you can find an additional one, or start a hobby in your useful element.

Approximate list of professions and areas of activity by element:

Wood - growth and development, an element that creates new things: Joiners, carpenters, wood carvers, wood sculptors Paper production Construction of wooden houses (+ Earth leading) Nannies and teachers of kindergartens, nurseries, tutors Any child care institutions Doctors of oriental medicine, homeopaths, naturopaths (+ Leading water) Massage therapists Pharmaceuticals - production of herbal preparations Any design Architecture (unique projects) Drawing Cooking, canteens, cafes (non-alcoholic) Cook, confectioner (+ Additional land) Physical education workers (not professional sports) Fitness Hairdressers Plant growing, landscape design , floristry Agronomists Nutrition and dietetics Weaving (especially natural fabrics) and textile industry Casual fashion, clothing production Writers, poets Translation, creative writing, journalism (article writing) Butchers Huntsmen

To summarize, let us once again repeat the algorithm for determining the elements that a profession or field of activity contains : 1. Determine the leading element. 2. Determine additional elements, taking into account such circumstances as: - materials and equipment with which the person works; - the place where a person works. 3. Determine the person’s work style and, if necessary, adjust it.

That's all. Health, good luck and, of course, great success in your work!

Smelter

Metals and alloys are melted by a skilled worker - a smelter. This profession is the main one in metallurgy. The smelter must know the chemical processes taking place in the furnaces during smelting and the requirements for them. The quality of the finished metal depends on all this.

The smelter is at the workplace during the entire metal melting process. First he prepares the smelting furnace for operation.

The melter must be aware of various parameters: for example, the moisture content of the filling mass and the speed of its release. The smelter also prepares ores and concentrates for smelting, for which he prepares various mixtures of materials (charge) in certain proportions for subsequent processing in furnaces.

After refueling and starting up the furnace, the smelter is the sole owner of the melting process until its completion.

Metal is poured into molds - molds - and transported for storage.

Metallurgical engineer for blast furnace production

The merits of domestic scientists - blast furnace specialists in our country and abroad are great. Great demands are placed on the modern engineer. A person who has chosen the profession of a metallurgical engineer must first of all have a good knowledge of such disciplines as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and the basics of computer technology. This specialty can be obtained at metallurgical institutes, at metallurgical faculties of polytechnics or other institutes.

Future engineers study a large number of general scientific and special disciplines. In addition, at the institute, specialists in the field of design and operation of modern blast furnace production are given in-depth knowledge of the economics of metallurgical enterprises, the basics of pedagogy and the sociology of relationships between the workforce and the manager.

Where can you become a firefighter?

The profession of rescuers, which are essentially firefighters, does not require much training, unless you are thinking about a future career. For example, become a firefighter by taking special courses at a fire department (preference is given to those who have served in the Army). There are also professional colleges that train rank and file fire departments.

In addition, there are a large number of specialized universities in Russia, the graduates of which in the future can count on positions of fire investigator, fire safety inspector or expert, as well as career growth in the ranks of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia . The best among such universities today are:

• Voronezh Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia;
• Academy of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia;
• Ural Institute of State Fire Service of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
