After a year as the Grand Duke, the Snake doesn't get to slow down, it gets to evolve. In 2026,
your value deepens and your leadership sharpens. So 2026 is
still an upgrade year. I'm Paulynne Cheng, Bazi and Feng Shui practitioner. In this video,
we will break down the stars inside the Snake for 2026 and map out real strategic ways to use them.
Because in my world, Chinese metaphysics is meant to empower, not to disempower. But before we shed
old skin and slither into 2026, let's rewind. What exactly did 2025 bring? As the Grand Duke of 2025,
well, you had leadership, visibility, had a few solid problem solving stars in your corner,
and you already know Grand Duke energy meant that the buck stops with you. So, in 2026,
has the buck moved on? Well, not quite. But don't worry, it's not
a bad thing. In fact, it's a very good thing. First up, Clan House and Heavenly Officer.
Clan House is a star of academic achievements. While certainly tied to academic achievements,
literature and scholarly success in the traditional interpretation, it also creates a
platform where you get to showcase your expertise and knowledge. Think of Clan House like your glory
wall or your trophy cabinet at home where you show tangible evidence of your accomplishments.
Which means that, this star is highly supportive of amplifying credibility, thought leadership,
personal branding, and specialized knowledge. In other words, in 2026, the Snake has the
opportunity to create platforms where you get to flex a little. Just don't use it for vanity
scholarship where you collect certificates for the sake of collecting certificates. We all know
people who do that, right? The Clan House is actually
perfect when it comes paired with the Heavenly Officer because classically this star brings
promotion luck. Makes it especially powerful for career professionals. It's a star of authority.
Together, Clan House and Heavenly Officer are about formal recognition. Great for career professionals.
For business owners, it works a little different. You're already the boss so what's there to promote?
In this case, Heavenly Officer enhances your personal reputation as a business person,
within your industry. So, it positions you as a credible voice, a respected authority,
a trusted expert. However, leaders need followers and apparently you got followers. The Thriving
star brings support from the people around you, your peers, your team, your network. Even better,
Thriving also hints at wealth opportunities that come through your connections, which means you
got to be out there working those connections, which means you need to be networking. Hey,
don't shoot the messenger. Now let's zoom out. When you stack the
the Clan Hall, Heavenly Officer and Thriving together, you're on a serious upward trajectory.
Surpassing Path
signifies a a rise in social status, prestige, and recognition. Or could just simply mean that you
have the chance to make connections with people of a higher status than you. But with all this up
energy comes a bit of a blowback cuz the moment you shine, someone somewhere is going to squint.
So career professionals watching this, you already know, with all these increased leadership comes the
avalanche. Cuz let's face it, good work is always rewarded with more work. So enter the Death God
and the Sickness star. The Death God is literally the hustle culture star.
It dumps a heavy workload on your shoulders. You feel like there's never enough hours in the
day. Even business owners aren't immune. You might catch yourself thinking if I want to do this
right, I have to do it myself. That is the Death God talking. To mitigate, you got to delegate.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you must overwork to prove your value. And remember,
Heavenly Officer leadership, it's not about doing everything yourself. It's about how well you can
mobilize others towards your KPI. Cuz if you don't, Sickness is waiting. This is the lowered
immunity star, okay? Fatigue, burnout, all those little health annoyances that build up when
you keep pushing without rest. Don't work yourself sick, okay? It ain't worth it. Instead, use
Sickness as your early warning system. Make space for well-being before your body forces you to.
Here's the thing. When your energy drops, that's when the people problem starts popping up. Solid
killing. This is hostility and tension caused by the Heavenly Officer Charm. Clash of egos. Power
plays. Imagine this. You got an up-and-coming executive rising the ranks. Bringing with
them their own loyal crew. Wouldn't the existing power structure feel threatened? Cue:
Ego clashes, turf wars, power plays. And then just when you think that it can't get more dramatic,
in comes the Broken Star, communication breakdown, boycotts, ghosting, non-compliance,
passive aggressive sabotage. Is there a positive use of these negative stuffs? Any leader who can
resolve these types of conflicts and gel broken teams together is a high value asset. You can
resolve this, you deserve some major major bragging rights. So, what can you do? Number
one, of course, avoid the power plays if you can. Focus on your own deliverables. Number two,
document everything. Protect your back. And number three, use the final positive star on your list. I
saved the Heavenly Chef for last because it sits in a unique position. It enhances the good stars and
it can soften the impact of the difficult ones. Now, traditionally, Heavenly Chef signifies the
presence of good food. But more than that, it's about comfort, connection, and shared joy.
And let's be real, I don't know where you're watching this, but here in Asia,
food solves a lot of problems. Sharing a meal can build relationships.
Can smooth over ruffled feathers. Can even rekindle broken ties.
The only drawback with this star is chances of putting on weight
are pretty high. So, enjoy. But go easy. Remember this is just one possible story arc. You
might experience these stars differently depending on your unique circumstances.
Let's circle back and finish strong with the Snake. Now, if the Snake is
in your Year pillar, that's your industry facing pillar. So Clan Hall means you have
an opportunity to platform your expertise, which means that something better be happening
on your social media profile beyond food photos. You've also got Heavenly Officer, Thriving,
and Surpassing Path backing you up. So the stars that boost credibility and influence. This is
also leadership energy. People are still also watching and listening looking
for someone to follow. So go ahead, claim your space, speak on that panel, start your podcast,
let your name s circulate in the right rooms. And to sweeten the deal, the Heavenly Chef star
says that there's a lot of good food out there in 2026, literally and metaphorically. So fast, fast,
go and eat. Okay? Use food to build 'guanxi'. Use food to build the bridge, to build networks. If
the Snake sits in your month, your business and career is where the action is in 2026. With
the Clan House, Heavenly Officer and Surpassing Path, this is a golden window to showcase your
achievements. Whether you're a career professional or business owner, document your results. Track
your wins. Make them visible. Apply for awards. Yes, even the ones that require a submission fee.
Get your name into the right circles. Appear in the right features. No, it's not vanity PR, not if
you are genuinely delivering value. This is about creating halo effects that help your business or
career scale faster. Make your credibility easy to recognize. But a word of caution, Death God
and Sickness also here. Don't burn yourself out trying to chase every opportunity. Work smart,
lead well, eat well. And finally, kill it with the office politics. Turf wars
and power plays might flare up, especially if you are rising. And if the Snake is in the day,
this affects you, your home, and your closest relationships. So, first off, Thriving here
is about your personal support network. Use it to strengthen existing
bonds or to broaden your personal network. How to do that? Easy. Use
the Heavenly Chef. Of course, good food, shared dining experiences, parties. Next, inner
confidence equals outer credibility. So, the Clan House is offering you a chance to showcase your
personal expertise. So, use that. How to use that? That's up to you. The only caution from this
entire group is that: don't get so caught up in the hustle culture that you neglect yourself and your
love life. Time and energy management, or should I say time and energy distribution, is important
to avoid the hostility or tension of the argument stars. Finally, the Snake is in your hour pillar.
2026 shines a spotlight on your investments, staff, mindset, and for some of you children or
legacy. So one of the fastest way to build instant credibility is to publish. With the Clan House you
can do that. Because the Clan House is an intellectual flex. Whether it's a book,
a guide or even a signature framework. When your expertise becomes tangible, people start
listening. They stop seeing you as just another service provider, just another business owner,
just another career professional and start seeing you as an authority. So Death God in this pillar
shows up as hyper ownership. That voice in your head that says I'll just do it
myself, easier that way. It's not wrong but it's not scalable either. So since you have
the Thriving star here which means the presence of supportive staff, upskill them, train them, invest in them.
Let's take a quick peek at your animal sign buddies in 2026. The Monkey, technically
your 'frenemy', also on an upskilling arc this year. Plus, they are exploring new ideas, new horizons.
So, good potential to team up and grow together, especially if you're building something bold.
The Ox brings strong problem solving abilities and strategic abilities to the table as well as
access to resources. Keep them close if you need help turning a messy plan into a workable one. And
finally, the Rooster. Honestly, one of the power signs of 2026. Full of entrepreneurial spark,
crystal clarity, and a lot of noble men stars. So, if you've got the Rooster in your circle,
tap in. If you're a Snake surrounded by all these, then congrats. Your crew is also stacked.
