Overall, the chances of securing a regular position before autumn are quite high, and your overall circumstances will noticeably improve compared to last year. The key lies in the Officer Wu Fire, which represents the position and regularization criteria. It resides on the Other Line, initiates movement, and is exceptionally prosperous as it matches the day pillar. Furthermore, it generates and combines with your Self Line, the Hai Water. Although your Self Line is currently somewhat weak and the hexagram displays a Six Clash tendency (which indicates speed rather than dissolution), the continuous and robust support from the Officer suggests that you will face minimal resistance during this assessment. You are highly likely to achieve your goal smoothly without repeating past setbacks.

Resistance to the Regularization Assessment Before Autumn is Minimal with Optimistic Results

Background Analysis

When asking about regularization, the Officer is taken as the Yong Shen (Focus). In the hexagram, the Officer Wu Fire falls on the Other Line, which precisely represents the "assessors or approval process" faced for regularization. The Yong Shen (Focus) retains residual Qi in the Wei month, and it also matches the Bing Wu day pillar, making it exceptionally prosperous (matching the day implies that the current approval authority is extremely strong). The Self Line represents you, featuring Offspring Hai Water. During the transition between summer and autumn, it faces dual restraint in the Wei month and on the Wu day, indicating that your current work state might involve fatigue, a lack of confidence, or even some anxiety regarding regularization. Fortunately, the Officer Wu Fire initiates movement (the assessment mechanism has been activated) and actively transforms into Hai Water. This creates a harmony between the "Officer Zi Water" and the "Self Line Hai Water." Crucially, the highly prosperous Yong Shen (Focus) strongly supports the Self Line, meaning that the company or leadership highly recognizes your abilities and is willing to grant you a formal position. The Self and Other Lines generate each other, showing that both parties share the same goal; thus, the probability of regularization is exceedingly high.

Compared to Last Year, Both Compensation and Smoothness in Regularization Have Significantly Improved

The Core Position Yong Shen (Focus) is Prosperous and Generates the Self Line, Securing the Regularization Goal

The Officer Wu Fire is accompanied by the White Tiger; it moves and generates yet restricts the Self Line. The White Tiger represents the strictness and efficiency of the assessment. This indicates that the regularization process before autumn will advance very quickly (the Six Clash hexagram Qian changing to Jing implies that clashes dictate speed). You may find the progress suddenly accelerating, and certain stages might even feel urgent, but the result is Wu Fire generating the Self Line, which is absolutely advantageous for you.

Wealth is Temporarily Hidden but Protected by the Wei Month; Salary Growth Leans Toward Stability

Regarding the salary increase aspect of "whether it will be better than last year," if a man inquiring about a Career also considers financial luck, the Wealth Mao Wood does not appear on the hexagram (it is hidden). Fortunately, this year, 2026, is a Bing Wu Fire year, and the annual Qi is extremely favorable to the Officer. Moreover, the Mao Wood forms a partial Wood combination (Hai-Mao-Wei) in the Wei month, giving it hidden roots. This hints that although the post-regularization compensation will not see an explosive surge, compared to last year (when Wood and Fire were restrained or the annual Qi was unfavorable), this year offers substantial security and improvement. The salary structure will become more formalized and stable, and hidden benefits (hidden Wealth) will materialize once regularization is finalized.

The Period from the Wu-Wei Month Transition to the Autumn Shen Month is the Timing for Finalizing Regularization

Timing Deduction

Regarding timing, a Six Clash hexagram dictates speed, meaning matters will not be dragged out. The Self Line Hai Water is somewhat weak, and the Officer matches the day pillar, so the fastest period for advancement is right now in the Wei month (before early August in the Gregorian calendar). If the process is not entirely completed in the Wei month, by the time of the Shen month (from the Start of Autumn on August 7th to the White Dew on September 7th in the Gregorian calendar), the Self Line Hai Water will attain its Chang Sheng (i.e., gaining powerful vitality). At that point, your own state will be thoroughly stabilized, which will undoubtedly be the timing for the formalization procedures to be finalized and for you to officially enjoy the benefits. Therefore, the timeframe of "before autumn" aligns perfectly with the hexagram image, and it is highly probable that you will receive good news in mid-to-late August.

Action Recommendations

• Seize the recent opportunity of accelerated progress and proactively cooperate with HR or management to submit any materials required for regularization. Approach the process with the high efficiency of the "White Tiger" without any delay.
• Although your Self Line is somewhat weak, refrain from showing fatigue in the workplace. Simply maintain a steady output before the Shen month (August) arrives. The leadership's (Officer) approval of you is already very high; completing routine cooperative tasks will allow matters to fall into place naturally.
• Regarding salary and benefits (hidden Wealth), when the regularization agreement is finalized, pay moderate attention to implicit welfare clauses such as social insurances, housing funds, or performance assessments. These subsequent safeguards will be much more comprehensive than last year's.
