The rules tie your hands, and doing more or less both draw complaints. Approvals, performance reviews, and your standing take the first hit over the next ten years, so finish the formal process on anything that leaves a record.

In detail

Luck Pillar · Direct Officer, Cost applies when the stem governing the next ten years controls the day master at opposite polarity, forming Direct Officer, and the chart rejects that stem; the form takes office with it and runs for ten years. The control is measured, yet once rejected the rules become a burden: approvals drag, reviews tighten, responsibility is pushed down level by level, and the room to act on your own shrinks while reputation turns into a weak point. An unfavourable Seven Killings comes from overload, while this one comes from restraint packed too tightly.

FAQ

Why does everything feel restricted over the next ten years?
When the constraining layer runs heavy, institutions, procedures, and the assessments of other people sit closer than usual, and the room for independent decisions narrows. Forcing through costs the most, so complete the required steps and negotiate the exceptions afterwards.
Does an unfavourable Direct Officer call for resignation?
Separate the institutional problem from the problem with the post. Where constraint runs heavy, a new environment does not necessarily bring freedom, since rules exist there too. Auditing the compliance steps that eat the most time usually works faster than a wholesale move.
