You are looking at single star alone 单星断命 and this is not the correct way.
The correct way is to see how these favorable stars in your current TaYun (2018-2027) interact with your BaZi and the rest of the stars aka Ten Gods 十神. The chances of your losing job in 2018 was high. You need to get a stable job, wait for the opportunities, grab when they come and stay put again and wait for the next round.
You must be very aware of the yearly luck. This can still be considered as a good TaYun as long as you know when to move head and when to stay low.
Yes settle for a lower paid job as for now if you need to and wait.
The chances of losing money are there.
Cheers.
