Ji does well in service, HR, education, product ops, and community work. It builds trust and continuity but must avoid carrying everyone.
Love & Relationship
Caring and attentive, Ji values stability and mutual care. It can over-sacrifice, so boundaries are crucial.

Supportive, practical, and empathetic. The shadow is worry, over-responsibility, or slow decision-making.
Earth relates to digestion and dampness. Balance with movement, sunlight, and simplified routines.
