THE GIFTS OF LIFE GUA 1

Element: Water

Male (year of birth): 1927, 1936, 1945, 1963, 1972, 1981, 1990, 1999, 2008

Female (year of birth): 1923, 1932, 1941, 1950, 1959, 1968, 1977, 1986, 1995, 2004

COMMON LIFE GUA 1 CHARACTERISTICS

Colourless, formless, adaptable, and flexible, Life Star 1 or Gua 1 carries all the common characteristics associated with the Water element. A fluid intelligence and creativity tops the list.

There is always a fascinating duality to the Water element. Water can either be still or moving. When Water is still, this reflects the more reticent, reflective, and secretive parts of your personality. When the dam is removed and Water starts flowing, you become virtually unstoppable. Like a hidden mountain spring gushing into a waterfall, you will ride rough shot over obstacles, impatient to get to the sea.

But still or moving, all Gua 1 individuals share a single commonality – the tendency to seek out the path of least resistance. You are the best at going with the flow, confident that you will always find your way.

Better yet, Gua 1 individuals are superb at discovering solutions that are not always immediately visible to others. This gift comes from Water’s ability to think laterally. This is the ability to blend theory with practice, unencumbered by norms, rules and regulations – the ultimate gift of freedom of thought.

LIFE GUA 1 AT WORK

At work, Gua 1 individuals tend to show their more diplomatic side. Remember how Water prefers to go with the flow? Seeking out conflict is certainly not your way. There is, however, a deep need for spontaneity and autonomy. How can you possibly enjoy freedom of thought when you are constantly boxed in by rules?

LIFE GUA 1 AT PLAY

Socially, Gua 1 individuals easily blend into any existing ecosystem. This is where the adaptive power of Water is most apparent. Getting to know you is easy. Learning to understand you, is a whole different kettle of fish.

LIFE GUA 1 IN LOVE

In relationships, Gua 1 individuals tend to be very observant and sensual. However, there is a side of you that will present as cold and aloof. Water is, after all, the star of emotions. And emotions is what you have plenty of. Because the depth of your feelings scare even you sometimes, you have developed a self-defensive knack of keeping others at arm’s length. This level of inscrutability comes at a cost. It’s difficult for those who care for you to figure out what you actually think, thereby, making it hard for them to support you.

LIFE GUA 1 FAVOURABLE FACING DIRECTIONS

These are generic personal facing directions, and is one of the easiest Feng Shui methods to apply. It’s just a matter of shifting your laptop to face the direction you want.

Sheng Qi (Life Generating): Southeast

Use this direction for general advancement and growth in life. This direction works well for any business, career, or wealth-related pursuits.

Tian Yi (Heavenly Doctor): East

This direction is good for enhancing your mentor luck. If this direction is to be used in the bedroom, this is a good boost for your general physical wellbeing. Face this direction if you are looking to enhance your personal branding. This direction amps up your persuasive skill, and will have some impact on how you are perceived by others.

Yan Nian (Longevity): South

South is a great direction to build smooth interpersonal relationships whether at home or in the office. In short, it’s great for networking. If you are working in a career or business that requires multiple interactions with people from all walks of life, this direction will help you boost your career.

Fu Wei (Stability): North

If it is deep focus and concentration you need, North is the direction to face while planning, working, studying, researching, or creating. Anything that requires concentration, really. If you are into the art of meditation, facing North while meditating can help you achieve calm and serenity much faster.

SUGGESTED SECTORS FOR 2023

Life Star 1 2023

Now that you understand the gifts of Life Gua 1 and how to use your personal favourable directions, based on the 2023 Flying Stars, here are some suggested sectors to use in 2023. Please note that when we say use, it literally means to carry out a certain activity within that sector of your home. On that note, please be practical. If a particular sector is missing from your home, then just be very Star 1, and find another way!

North (recommended): Use this sector to gain recognition for your talents and contribution. In 2023, for you the Gua 1 individual in particular, this is the sector that is most usable for career advancement. If you are a business owner, boosting recognition for your contribution can help attract partnerships your way.

West (recommended): Use the West sector if you need a boost to turn your many Gua 1 ideas into reality. In short, this is the sector to make things happen.

Centre: If you need an environment that is conducive to learning and research, the centre of your home is the best place to be in 2023.

The above three sectors (North, West and Centre) are the less stressful sectors to use. But sometimes, we have to take some hardship in order to create a breakthrough. The following four directions will be a little more stressful.

South: Star 8 in the South in 2023 boosts wealth prospects by increasing your productivity and workload. It can help you make money, but the activity may not be to your liking. Use this sector for the delivery of your services.

Northeast: If you feel that boosting your likability will help achieve your goals in 2023, the Northeast is the sector to use for any activities related to networking. Remember? Gua 1 personalities can be a little reticent. If you have always been burdened by more than your fair share of shyness, this sector is a good boost for your communications skills.

Southeast: If you have everything prepared, and all you need is that final courage to breakthrough, courageous Star 3 in the Southeast in 2023, is the sector to use. Use this sector for any activities where you challenge yourself to do better. Be mindful though, Star 3 increases the likelihoods of arguments and temper tantrums. So please be mindful of that.

East: If you need directions. If you need people to tell you what to do, East is the sector to use. Mind you, this sector can be quite stressful. To benefit from this, you must be open to advice.

SIDE NOTE: HOW TO DETERMINE SECTORS IN YOUR HOUSE

Simply, stand in the middle of your house. Face the door. Use the compass app in your mobile device and turn to look for the relevant sector that you intend to use. Once identified, just do the activity related to the objective.

MARCH 2023: XIN METAL DAY MASTER – HOW TO HUSTLE

For the Xin Metal Day Master, the conditions are ripe in March 2023 to sow the seeds that will eventually help you increase your earning potential. In short, hustle! Here are some suggestions for micro-activities that will further this goal in March 2023:

  1. Brainstorm money-making ideas. With the unconstrained creativity provided by the March 2023 Bazi Chart, this is a good time to bring some friends together to brainstorm wealth-creation ideas.
  2. Launch! Don’t wait for perfect. If you have a side hustle ready to launch, March 2023 is the time to do it. With the market open to new innovations and ideas, the time is ripe for you to make an impact.
  3. Make connections. By nature, Xin Metal Day Masters are also natural networkers. But the question is, who are you networking with? Consider making new connections especially with potential investors.
  4. Make time. All of us are constrained by 24 hours in a day. Making the most efficient use of your time will also help you increase your earning potential.

I agree, hustling has a bad rep. But it’s not about shaking people down for what you want. When you understand that there is a need to treat people well, maintain authenticity in your relationships and treat everyone fairly, hustling becomes an art form!

MARCH 2023: GENG METAL DAY MASTER – NEW GOAL-SETTING

For the Geng Metal Day Master, harvest comes early with the March 2023 Bazi Chart. While others are still sowing, you, on the other hand, find yourself reaping the fruits of your winter crop. This makes March 2023 a good month to build on the foundation of your success. A new goal-setting is in order.

  1. Reflect on your past achievements: Before setting new goals, take some time to reflect on your past achievements and accomplishments. This can help you identify areas where you have succeeded and areas where you may need to improve.
  2. Consider your values and priorities: Your goals should align with your values and priorities. Consider what is most important to you and how you can set goals that reflect those priorities.
  3. Make your goals specific and measurable: Your goals should be specific and measurable so that you can track your progress and determine whether you have achieved them. Use the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goal-setting framework to help you create clear and actionable goals.
  4. Break your goals into smaller steps: Breaking your goals into smaller steps can make them feel more manageable and achievable. This can help you stay motivated and make progress towards your larger goals.
  5. Create a plan: Once you have set your goals, create a plan for achieving them. Identify the actions you need to take, the resources you will need, and the potential obstacles you may encounter along the way.
  6. Track your progress: Regularly track your progress towards your goals and adjust your plan as needed. Celebrate your successes along the way and use any setbacks or challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.

MARCH 2023: JI EARTH DAY MASTER – TEACHING SOMEONE TO FISH

The Ji Earth Day Master is one of the Useful Gods in the March 2023 chart. A pure 7 Killings month can herald the arrival of many people coming to you with their problems. An easy way out would be to solve their problems for them, which is a viable strategy. But let’s take this 7 Killings energy a step further. How about we empower people to solve their own problems instead?

Empowering people to solve problems is about helping them develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to take control of their own situations and find their own solutions.

  1. Provide education and training: Provide people with the education and training they need to develop the skills and knowledge required to solve problems. This can include workshops, courses, and mentoring programs.
  2. Encourage creativity: Encourage people to think outside the box and come up with their own unique solutions to problems. Foster a culture of innovation and creativity that rewards new ideas and approaches.
  3. Foster independence: Encourage people to take ownership of their problems and develop their own solutions. Avoid solving problems for them and instead provide guidance and support as they work towards resolving the issue.
  4. Provide resources: Provide people with the resources they need to solve problems, such as access to information, tools, and technology. This can include providing access to experts, providing funding, or providing access to software tools and other resources.
  5. Celebrate success: Celebrate people’s successes when they solve problems on their own. This can include recognizing their achievements publicly, rewarding them for their efforts, or simply acknowledging their hard work and dedication.
  6. Provide ongoing support: Provide ongoing support and feedback to help people continue to develop their problem-solving skills. This can include providing coaching, mentoring, and regular check-ins to see how they’re progressing.

By empowering people to solve problems, you can help them develop the skills and confidence they need to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. It’s easy to solve other people’s problems for them. But that is a short-term solution. When you can empower people to solve their own problems, that is when you reach a higher status as a leader.

MARCH 2023: WU EARTH DAY MASTER – DECLUTTER YOUR LIFE

For the Wu Earth Day Master, the March 2023 sees a riot of plants camped onto a tiny rocky island. This imagery calls to mind a person carrying the weight of many. Almost like the Punishment of Atlas, you may feel like you are carrying the weight of the world upon your shoulders… a likely scenario given how steady the Wu Earth Day Master can be.

If you are already feeling overwhelmed by the demands of many, getting organized can be a helpful way to regain a sense of control and reduce stress.

  1. Declutter your to-do list: Write down everything that you need to do, prioritize tasks, and break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. This can help you focus on one task at a time and feel less overwhelmed.
  2. Declutter your schedule: Really look into how much time you are dedicating to further your own goals as opposed to doing stuff for other people.
  3. Declutter your things: Eliminate unnecessary items from your surroundings and organize your space. This can help you feel more in control and reduce distractions.
  4. Declutter your bandwidth: Take advantage of tools and apps that can help you organize your life, such as calendars, reminders, and task management apps.

MARCH 2023: DING FIRE DAY MASTER – INTERNAL ALIGNMENT

The March 2023 Bazi Chart can present as a rather challenging environment for the Ding Fire Day Master. It’s hard to start a fire when the wood is wet. And a Ding Fire’s spirits may be dampened when you find it hard to inspire yourself and others.

A pure Indirect Resource month can be a little distracting at best, or even paranoid at worst. However, being aware of this condition, March 2023 is a great month to spend a little time working on your internal alignment.

Internal alignment refers to the process of aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and values with your actions and goals. When you are internally aligned, you have a clear sense of purpose and direction, and you are able to pursue your goals with focus and motivation.

  1. Identify your values: Identify your core values and beliefs. These are the principles and ideals that are most important to you and guide your decision-making.
  2. Clarify your vision: Clarify your vision for your life and work. This is the long-term goal that you want to achieve and the legacy that you want to leave behind.
  3. Stay focused: Stay focused on your goals and vision. Avoid distractions and stay true to your values and beliefs. When you are internally aligned, you are able to stay focused and motivated even in the face of challenges and setbacks.
  4. Reflect and adjust: Regularly reflect on your progress and adjust your plan as needed. Celebrate your successes and learn from your failures, and use this feedback to make adjustments to your plan and stay on track.

Working on internal alignment is an ongoing process that takes time, effort, and consistency. Perhaps invest 10 minutes at the end of every day to review the day’s activities and plan the next day’s routine could be the key to help you make the most of March 2023.

MARCH 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTER – ONE AMONG MANY

Pretty flowers are meant to be admired. But when you are one among many? It can be a little frustrating and challenging. Especially true if you feel like you’re not standing out or making a significant impact. But… there are strength in numbers… so here’s how you can make the best of March 2023.

  1. Focus on your strengths: Identify your strengths and unique skills, and focus on developing them. This can help you stand out and make a valuable contribution, even if you’re one among many.
  2. Collaborate with others: Look for opportunities to collaborate with others in your group or team. This can help you build relationships and create synergies that can lead to better outcomes.
  3. Network and build relationships: Take the time to get to know the people in your group or team, and build relationships with them. This can help you establish yourself as a valuable member of the group and can lead to new opportunities.

If you are a Yi Wood Day Master, you’d better be networking in March 2023. After all, aren’t you the natural connector? There is safety in numbers. However, do be aware that you may be a little more susceptible to the effects of peer pressure this month.

MARCH 2023: JIA DAY MASTER – WHEN YOUR COMPETITORS REVEAL THEIR STRATEGY…

One of the strategies that the Jia Wood Day Master can apply for the entirety of 2023 is to learn from your competitors. Welp… here’s your best chance! Here is the month where your competitors’ strategies become more easily discernible. So keep your eyes peeled and your radar turned on. Learning from your competitors can be a valuable way to improve your own business. Or at the very least, help you find and create opportunities for differentiation.

  1. Research their strategies and tactics: Study your competitors’ marketing strategies, product development, and customer engagement tactics. Analyze what they’re doing well and what could be improved.
  2. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses: Identify your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses, and compare them to your own. This can help you identify areas where you can improve or differentiate yourself from the competition.
  3. Monitor their online presence: Keep an eye on your competitors’ social media profiles, websites, and blogs. This can help you stay up-to-date on their latest activities and ideas. This is literally the easiest one of all.
  4. Attend industry events: Attend industry events and conferences where your competitors are likely to be present. This can help you learn more about their business strategies and make valuable connections.
  5. Ask for feedback: Ask your customers and clients about their experiences with your competitors. This can help you identify areas where you can improve and provide better value to your customers.
  6. Look for collaboration opportunities: Sometimes, working with your competitors can be more beneficial than competing against them. Look for opportunities to collaborate on projects or initiatives that can benefit both of your businesses.

Remember, learning from your competitors doesn’t mean copying their ideas or strategies. Instead, use their successes and failures as inspiration to improve your own business or creative endeavors. By studying your competitors and analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, you can develop a more competitive edge and provide better value to your customers or audience.
