Tang Qiyang: Advice for the 12 Zodiac Signs Facing Challenges and Setbacks

A fan recently asked if it’s possible to analyze the astrological charts of successful people to identify what characteristics or transits may have contributed to their achievements. But can an astrological chart truly predict "success" or "failure"? What traits do the charts of successful individuals possess? Are their aspects genuinely superior?

Consider Steve Jobs. He invented the iPhone, a device that transformed how we live. Today, with everything accessible via smartphone, business opportunities abound in this sphere. Some of you might have grown up with smartphones, seamlessly integrating them into your daily lives.

However, when I was younger, we started with landline phones, waited for public payphones, then used pagers, and finally transitioned to bulky mobile phones. I witnessed this technological evolution, leading us to sleek mobile phones and the launch of the smartphone in 2007. Now in its 12th iteration, the iPhone has profoundly impacted our world. As a user, my habits have shifted from making phone calls to using various messaging apps, eliminating the need for voice calls.

Thus, Steve Jobs is often regarded as a "successful" individual who changed the world.

A successful person knows how to apply their skills effectively. When we study astrology, we should strive to identify our personal strengths and apply them to specific fields. For instance, some may have the ability to influence their family positively, serving as a backbone and protector, making them heroes in their own right. This too is success.

Success isn't limited to being a globally or nationally renowned figure. Even a member of an apartment management committee can be considered successful. Ultimately, it’s about understanding your abilities and using them to benefit others. With great ability comes great responsibility.

I once asked if people aspired to be like Steve Jobs. Most said "no," because it seemed too exhausting. The life of Steve Jobs involved relentless pressure, constant movement like a "cat on a hot tin roof." Few want to endure the continual grind, like Steve, who suffered betrayals and was ousted from Apple, the company he founded. Yet, he bought Pixar, turned it successful, and waited until Apple needed him back, eventually leading to the company's resurgence. Such trials deter many from following in his footsteps.

It is much like the story of Hamlet; revenge, or success, even if achievable, is a future concern. Successfully achieving a goal by age 45 means enduring a challenging journey from 35 to 45, uncertain if success is assured. Each day involves anxiety over whether success—or in Hamlet's case, revenge—will be attained. This reflects the harsh reality of success.

Some of you might aspire to be as successful as Steve Jobs, especially if you are resilient and able to withstand betrayal. As we face the challenges of 2020, is there anything more daunting? Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? Becoming a "successful person" hinges on today. Can you seize the opportunities over the next five years, carve your own path, and transform hardships into success?

No one is born successful or leads a life free of challenges. Even those who appear glamorous or come from affluent families have their own struggles.

Many are experiencing difficult times, but consider Jobs’ journey: dismissed by his own company, he boldly carried on, eventually rising again and earning the respect of former critics.

Currently, there’s an opportunity to prove ourselves. Remember that chaos often brings significant changes. These times offer chances to assume new roles or change positions. Without such shifts, everyone would remain in place. Changing from the first floor to the second—or even leaping to the twentieth—is possible. Adapting to new rules involves challenging yourself to reach new heights, rather than doubting your ability to even reach the second or third floor. In today’s climate, it’s crucial to adjust your mindset.

Believe that behind every struggle lies a meaningful gift. Reflecting on Steve Jobs’ career, we see how challenges strengthened his resolve and fueled his determination. Our current experiences also aim to build and ignite our tenacity. Accepting adversity passively can lead one to be left behind as a "loser."

Over the next five years, we must strive to achieve personal success, overcoming obstacles and maximizing our potential to make a significant impact, even influencing society as notable figures.

With Mars accelerating changes in late 2020, everything is evolving rapidly, and destruction happens swiftly. Challenges might be unavoidable, so it’s time to reassess our perspectives. When facing difficulties, consider what lessons these obstacles might impart rather than feeling unlucky.

Let’s work diligently to become successful in our own lives. First, we must identify and harness our abilities. Facing challenges allows us to unlock our true potential. Just like athletes, who won’t know their limits without competition, difficulties bring out these strengths. This is the time to tap into our instincts in this transformative era.

Some may have been laid off during this year’s upheaval. From another perspective, being laid off provides an opportunity to forge your own path instead of simply evolving with a company. Sometimes, layoffs aren’t indicative of personal failings but are rather a byproduct of broader environmental issues. However, in peaceful times, a layoff might signal significant personal problems.

The tourism industry, for instance, faces significant struggles. Instead of feeling disheartened by layoffs, recognize that life’s challenges might lead to beneficial outcomes, depending on subsequent efforts.

When my show was suspended, I initially felt regret but later realized it guided me to transition to live streaming, leading to my current success as Tang Qiyang. Thus, layoffs or setbacks aren’t necessarily negative—they may be advantageous.

Good or bad is simply a matter of perspective.
