What Does "Taking Office" Mean in the Feng Shui Fortune Calendar?
"Starting a new job" is your first day at a new place. "Taking office" is starting work in a new role tied to authority and responsibility: manager, director, chair. In Chinese tradition this moment is especially important, because it determines how secure your position will be, how your team will receive you and how long you will keep the post.
