When a parent needs follow-up care, one person may manage appointments while also working full time. Zi Wei Dou Shu can separate three questions: family coordination in the Parents Palace, the caregiver's strain in the Health Palace, and job flexibility in the Career Palace. None is a medical diagnosis.
Assign real tasks
List appointments, transport, payment, medication notes and a backup person. A sibling who pays a home aide and one who attends visits both need a clear handoff. Ask an employer about leave and scheduling policy before assuming the work can move.
Protect the caregiver
Track sleep and persistent symptoms, and seek medical care when needed. Read natal roles before adding timing layers. A shared calendar and written responsibilities are more useful than assigning blame through a chart.
