In my previous post, we discussed how this waterfall of Water energies can lead to a wave of creativity and ideas in November 2023. This applies most to the Metal Day Masters (Geng or Xin Day Masters). You may find your creativity energized with big ideas and ambitious designs, schemes and projects.
But ideas are nothing without action. Yet so many ideas, so little time! In that case, let’s use the overflowing Water energies of the November 2023 Bazi Chart to seek out your clarity of intention. This is not just about going on a creativity overdrive, it’s about our own understanding of why we want to create what we want. It’s about understanding the principle linking your ideas.
GENG METAL DAY MASTER
For the Geng Metal Day Masters, come an additional opportunity. When we stop to think about it, Metal does not really produce Water, does it? Instead, Water condenses around Metal. Given that this is your Hurting Officer month, searching out opportunities to give voice to your ideas can attract more opportunities your way.
Does that sound too abstract for you? OK, here’s something concrete: for November 2023, focus on improving your sales pitch. What else can you do? Along with November comes the stars in the Pig branch – among which is the Heavenly Chef. Use this wisely to network by having meals with your friends, contacts and acquaintances.
XIN METAL DAY MASTER
Xin Metal Day Masters will be going through a month of creative Eating God energy in November 2023. In your case, know that clarity of intention is vital and liberating in the act of creation. It helps us filter out the little noisy ideas that can detract us from our main purpose. A mind map is great, and highly recommended, for this process.
Do be mindful, however, that the Heavenly Chef that activates with the November Pig branch can result in comfort eating and other eating disorders.
With the November 2023 Bazi Chart comes yet another tide of Water energies Riding the waves of November 2023 will require intelligent use of the Water element.
At first glance, you will notice the sheer strength of Water in this Chart, both in terms of seasonality as well as location. But let’s dig a little deeper.
This Geng Metal (庚) Day Master is extremely weak. It is in the wrong season, with limited support, and is constantly exerting strength to produce prosperous Water and control the strong Wood. This Metal is being submerged and rusted by too much Water. Translated to human behaviour, you may notice a general tendency for the people around you (or maybe even yourself), to be more introspective and melancholy.
Too much unrestrained Water also represents a lot of ideas, but little opportunities to take action. While we see a Bing Fire (丙) in the Hour pillar, this midnight sun does not have much impact on the overall chart which presents as misty, cold and wet. For those of you who are vulnerable to depression (especially the Wood Day Masters), please be mindful that you will must have some coping strategies on hand.
From a public or market perspective, this tidal wave of Water energies represent misplaced passion, drive and creativity that may be focused on frivolous activities. For the investors among us, brace for an onslaught of rumours and unfounded theories. But on the positive side, we can expect to see the introduction of even more innovations.
This describes the overall ‘mood’ of the November 2023 energy. Therefore, managing expectations, whether you are a career professional or business owner, is one of the keys for November 2023.
In Bazi, there are two sayings that frequently come up when Metal meets Water. The first and most common is 金水多情 where Metal meeting Water creates a tidal wave of emotions. The second and lesser known is 金白水清, where Metal is pure, there is clarity of emotions. In the study of Chinese Metaphysics, Water can represent many things, one of them is Clarity! Here lies the opportunity of November – to seek or establish Clarity!
So how can we use this Water energy to our advantage? In the upcoming posts, we will examine the Water energy with respect to the different types of Day Masters.
With the Tiger in your Bazi Chart, you can’t afford to stay still in 2024. There is a need to keep hustling.
2024 TIGER: FUNERAL GUEST
2023 may have left you feeling a little under-whelmed. There were opportunities, but you had to work very hard for it! Feeling exhausted, but if you still have some fight left in you, then great!
Because the biggest threat from 2024 may possibly come from the Funeral Guest. This star carries a double warning.
One, it signifies lowered immunity. Basically, you may have over-worked yourself and you are now exhausted and feeling depleted. Of course, if that is the case, it’s completely OK to allow yourself time to re-charge.
The other threat of the Funeral Guest is the ‘follow-the-crowd’ mindset that it creates. In this case, you might feel a temptation to just follow the crowd and do whatever everyone else is doing. If this is your strategy for 2024, then at least please make sure you are following the right crowd.
2024 TIGER: SKY CRY
The presence of the Sky Cry makes you susceptible to other people’s negative energy. Physical energy is a bit low, ergo, mental resilience is also low. It’s easy to feel discouraged and defeated.
Again, self-care is the key here. I’m not going to minimize the effects of the Funeral Guest and Sky Cry. In extreme cases, when you have taken one hit too many, the two together can morph into anxiety attacks. So if you feel the need for a mental health break, please do so! It doesn’t make you weak. In fact, having the strength to seek help makes you far stronger than you know.
2024 TIGER: SKY DOG
Another negative star is Sky Dog. This one warns of possible injuries and accidents. You may be more accident prone in 2024 because your physical and mental energy is being depleted.
On a separate note, be extra careful about your big purchases in 2024. The Sky Dog can denote loss, wastage, defects or blemishes.
2024 TIGER: THRIVING AND SKY HORSE
But if you still have some chutzpah left inside you, a little spark of audacity still flickering, let’s continue to hustle. This is the Thriving Star in action. Traditionally interpreted as wealth opportunities from friends, this is a signal to keep networking. More importantly, be helpable! Have the courage to ask for help!
You also have the support of the Sky Horse. This is a wealth star. It’s a moving wealth star. It requires movement. With the Sky Horse, some element of travel is required. Of course, you can physically travel. But beyond that, think of strategic expansions or forays into new markets.
Secondly, let’s think about what the horse represents in the olden days. It’s a mode of transport. A vehicle! So what it’s telling you is that you need to find or create a vehicle that can help with your expansion.
This vehicle could come in the form of… social media platforms, franchises, foreign investors, networks. That’s just off the top of my head. The shape of the vehicle depends on what business you are conducting.
To summarize for the Tiger, if you are going to follow the crowd, then please make sure you follow the right crowd. And to the best of your ability, do try to hustle and keep moving. It’s important because you have Wealth stars coming to you in 2025. So there is hope on the horizon!
For 2024, if your energy level has been depleted, please take the time to re-charge. Self care is important.
Here, I’m going to borrow a quote from Tony Robbins – No matter how many mistakes you make, or how slow your progress, you’re still way ahead of others who aren’t even trying.
NOT PROPHETIC IN NATURE
But please remember, this is not prophetic in nature. Also, this way of presenting the Zodiac stars is just one possible permutation of how things can flow. It can happen in any way. The goal of these annual posts is not to scare you. The goal is to show you what you want to avoid. These are neither promises nor threats! They’re just here to show you possible outcomes. So I hope, that in reading this, you learn to accentuate the positives and sidestep the negatives.
TIGER IN THE YEAR PILLAR
Potential for travel is pretty high if you have the Tiger in your year. Here is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds, culture, countries, experiences and gain a new perspective.
If we look at the Year pillar from the lens of industry, from your perspective, your industry is stagnating in 2024. Remember, your chart, your perspective. Taking advantage of the low energy levels in your industry, there is room for expansion and growth for those who have the audacity to hustle. Because when others are not taking action, but you are, you have a distinct advantage.
Unfortunately, with the Funeral Guest, I’m afraid there is also the possibility of hearing bad news from within your social network or distant friends. So do make the effort to re-connect with those whom you may have fallen out of touch with.
And since you have the Thriving star which translates as wealth opportunity from friends, please at least maintain your networks! But please make sure you network with the right people, ok? If you detect low energy, run!
TIGER IN THE MONTH PILLAR
If the Tiger governs your month pillar (career and business), try to find opportunities to be a part of projects where you can either travel or work with colleagues from other departments, divisions or countries.
Again, please do your due diligence if you are making a big purchase. The Sky Dog can be warning about defects. This goes double to those of you who are in the position to approve purchases for your organization. Be extra careful.
But here’s the thing, the lack of positive stars simply means that, for one year, you don’t have external support. Nothing here says that you are helpless. In a year with limited support, you need to create your own opportunities. Yes, that word again – hustle! That’s how you use the Thriving and Sky Horse stars to the limit.
TIGER IN THE DAY PILLAR
If you have the Tiger in your Day, do invest the time and effort in self care. Forewarned is forearmed. Personal energy – physical and mental energy – is a little low. Time to retreat into your cave and prioritize your personal well being.
How else can we inject some pizzazz into our lives? Travel! Yes, go and play! Have fun with your friends! Shake off the doldrums.
TIGER IN THE HOUR PILLAR
If the Tiger rules your Hour, please do not blindly follow what other people are doing where investments are concerned. This may backfire. Take the trouble to learn the system yourself and really understand the investment vehicle before you commit.
The Hour Pillar can also represent children. Their physical and mental resilience may be a bit low in 2024. You may want to pay some attention to that.
If we view the Hour pillar from the lens of staff – people who work under you – you may find yourself dealing with a rather unmotivated bunch. You need to do something to light the fire under them again.
The Hour Pillar is very much connected to our mental wellness. Because it also represents our thought patterns. With two types of conflicting stars – one wants to expand, the other wants to contract – paying attention to your self-talk is also very important.
HACK MY 2024
Is there a more specific way to trigger the positive stars? Actually, yes! To learn that and so much more, come join us for our annual Hack My 2024. Click on the image for more information.
If you have the Ox in your Bazi Chart (be it Year, Month, Day, or Hour), brace yourself for a long read ahead. But a long article is worth the while when there is good news to share!
2024 OX: FORTUNE VIRTUE, HEAVENLY VIRTUE AND PROSPERITY STAR
First, let’s recap 2023. The stars in the Ox for 2023, few as there may have been, encouraged mastery and an increase in self worth. For the Ox, 2023 was about getting yourself to the point where you can literally say, “I’m ready!”
And if you are really ready, in 2024 comes three major blessings stars. These are coveted stars that we always try to activate. The Fortune Virtue is a wealth star that enhances all other wealth stars. With this supporting you in 2024, it is very important to learn to recognize opportunities when they come knocking.
The Heavenly Virtue, also a positive blessings stars, dissolves the other negative stars that haunt you. This removes the obstacles in your way. You find that if you take action to remedy certain problems or obstacles, somehow, the problems are just easier to resolve. Ever experienced that? Like you have been plagued by a problem for a number of years, and then suddenly things just resolve themselves? That’s the effect of the Heavenly Virtue.
The third positive star is the Prosperity Star. This too brings opportunities. Be warned though, the Prosperity star could cause eating disorders. If you are not careful, you may find yourself growing sideways!
How would we interpret the presence of these three in the Ox for 2024? Basically, having invested the effort and time to upgrade yourself in 2023, opportunities are now presenting themselves because you are ready.
2024 OX: PULLING SADDLE
All these opportunities are meant to help you grow. This is the function of Pulling Saddle. To help you grow or head into a new direction. It’s exciting, albeit a little uncomfortable. It’s taking you out of your comfort zone by presenting new opportunities and experiences to explore. With the help of the Pulling Saddle, a lot of growth can happen for the Ox in 2024.
2024 OX: GETTING BINGO-ED
What could stop you? Irritants! See the bunch of negative stars encircling the Pulling Saddle? Looks like it’s getting bingo-ed, doesn’t it? Like petty people trying to stop your growth, holding you back. That’s exactly what they are. Nay-sayers and saboteurs.
Let me quickly describe their effect. Broken Star can represent sabotage or a breakdown in communications. It causes a negative impact to your image brought about by fake rumours.
Curled Tongue is an arguments star caused by petty gossip. Solid Killing represents obstacles created or put in your way by other people. Crossing Sha refers to relationship problems.
It feels like you want to fly, but there are weights around your ankle, dragging you down.
However, the Fortune Virtue and Heavenly Virtue both can dissolve these issues. Your job, is to not let them get to you. Do not allow yourself to become embroiled in petty arguments and pointless power plays. No need to play power games when you have the Fortune Virtue and Heavenly Virtue on your side. Focus on getting the most of the opportunities.
2024 OX: LONESOME AND DRAPES
What happens if you start listening to the naysayers? The Lonesome star will then engender a feeling of being ostracized. Invalidated. Self-doubt. Succumb to the Lonesome star, and the Drapes is waiting. Drapes is depression.
2024 OX: HEAVENLY YI AND SKY NOBLE
The Ox also enjoys additional support in the form of two nobleman stars – the Heavenly Yi and the Sky Noble. Despite the naysayers and petty politics, there are noble help available to you. Your job is to recognize their presence.
NOT PROPHETIC IN NATURE
But please remember, this is not prophetic in nature. Also, this way of presenting the Zodiac stars is just one possible permutation of how things can flow. It can happen in any way. The goal of these annual posts is not to scare you. The goal is to show you what you want to avoid. These are neither promises nor threats! They’re just here to show you possible outcomes. So I hope, that in reading this, you learn to accentuate the positives and sidestep the negatives.
OX IN THE YEAR PILLAR
With such powerful blessings stars in your Year Pillar, you’d better be networking! Use the Pulling Saddle to broaden your social circle. With all the argument stars, it’s pretty noisy out there. A lot of differing opinions. That’s fine. Let them talk. This is about finding opportunities in chaos.
And most importantly, learn to recognize your noble people when they show up. To do this, you yourself must first have a clear idea of the type of help you need. For example, if you are a Gui Water Day Master, this noble person may come with a specific problem-solving skill. Without this criteria, it would be impossible to recognize your noble person.
OX IN THE MONTH PILLAR
When the Ox governs your Month pillar, do be careful of the perils of internal politics. Here, there might be no choice but to learn to play the game.
There are opportunities, but many people wanting to get in on the action and put their finger into the pie.
It would be wasteful to dumb yourself down just because of the presence of petty people. In this case, you need to cover your behind, and learn to act fast when opportunity presents itself. In all seriousness, these petty people are a small price to pay given the opportunities being presented to you.
Here’s one way they can’t catch you. Be willing to try out new ways of doing things. Be willing to explore. Because the negative stars are petty people who are still caught up in the old way of doing things. So if you can advance faster, that will help trigger the positive stars in the picture.
OX IN THE DAY PILLAR
Ox in the day pillar talks about being presented with opportunities to uplift yourself, experience personal growth, and become a better version of yourself.
The only problem is, you might not find support among your close circles or from your significant other. It may engenders a feeling of being invalidated. If nobody validates us, then let’s validate ourselves!
For those who are in committed relationships, you may find that with the presence of the argument stars, small disagreements explode into big fights. Work together to solve the problems, and grow together.
Here, the chances of the Prosperity Star morphing into eating disorder is the most apparent. Be careful of your stress eating. At least, learn to recognize your triggers. If you cannot identify the enemy, how to defeat the enemy?
OX IN THE HOUR PILLAR
Ox in the Hour can feel a little bipolar. There’s a push-pull between wanting to grow and a fear of taking risks. Essentially, you might be talking yourself out of taking advantage of the opportunities. The solution is certainly not to go ‘all-in’ and throw all caution to the wind.
Instead, why not identify the root cause of your fear, and take action to remedy it. At the very least figure out what’s holding you back.
Alternatively, the stars in the Ox could mean that you may receive very little support from among your staff or team members. They’re being particularly recalcitrant in 2024. Or maybe they’re just not getting along. Team-building exercises required.

The Rat embarked on a new cycle in 2023. Come 2024, the Rat is set to continue on its upward trajectory. To make the year work for you, you need a sword!
2024 RAT: GENERAL STAR
In 2023, the Rat had the prized Heavenly Virtue, Fortune Virtue, Thriving and Prosperity stars. All of which, encouraged the start of a new flow of energy. Your mission, in 2024, is to maintain that upward trajectory.
In the Bazi auxiliary stars system, there are a number of stars that talk about leadership skills. Among which, are the Grand Duke, the Emperor Star, as well as the General Star. In today’s world, there is not much difference between the three. The one similarity amongst the three is an opportunity to improve on your social status. Which means, promotion luck is available.
That being the case, what type of tools would you need to use the General Star? Unlike the Grand Duke and Emperor Star, Generals are usually famed for their fighting prowess. Which means, there is a need for a symbolic ‘sword’. Nowadays, we call that your special skillset. To rock this year’s stars, you must have a sword – a special skill.
This does not have to be a hard skill. It can be a soft skill. Example: maybe you write fantastic copy. Or maybe, you are a great facilitator. Perhaps, your skill is the ability to train and develop other talents.
2024 RAT: GOLDEN LOCK
This skillset is important for the General Star because it is the one that draws in the Golden Lock. The Golden Lock is typically interpreted as investment luck. But beyond that, it can also draw business or career opportunities your way by giving you the chance to be recognized as a talent in your field. This sword, or skillset, is important for people to trust your brand.
2024 RAT: WHITE TIGER AND SKY WARRIOR
Having a skillset and opportunities is one thing. Whether or not you are willing to take action, is a whole different ballgame. Enter the White Tiger and Sky Warrior.
But first, let’s get the bad news out of the way. When the White Tiger and Sky Warrior come together, they heighten the risk of injury. Basically, the Rat has become a little more accident-prone in 2024. Accidents can happen for many reasons. One of them, is recklessness.
Influenced by the White Tiger and Sky Warrior, the willingness to take action has increased. Which is a good thing. Too much of a good thing is when these two ramp up your native competitiveness, resulting in a do-or-die mindset.
When our actions are prompted by this do-or-die mindset, that’s when the negative effect of both these stars become apparent. White Tiger brings petty people and gossip. Sky Warrior can even cause a loss of reputation.
2024 RAT: SALTY POOL AND PEELING HEAD
Before we talk about how to flip these two important action-taking stars into the positive, let’s see what the underlying motivations behind the recklessness could be.
The Salty Pool is not a completely negative star. It’s one of the Peach Blossoms. So just know that likability has also increased for you. However, the Salty Pool can engender a lean towards instant gratification.
This focus on instant results, coupled with feeling more competitive in 2024, results in the Peeling Head. The Peeling Head, by itself, is nothing! It’s just feelings of unease. Outwardly looking like a General, inwardly not feeling at peace. Something like imposter syndrome.
Therefore, the key to turning the White Tiger and Sky Warrior into positive stars for the Rat is to be very mindful of the intentions of your action. To be clear when you are chasing a fleeting high, or to be strategic about your goals. Pick a hill to die on. No need to die on every hill.
2024 RAT: TAIJI NOBLEMAN AND SKY BRIGHT
The Taiji Nobleman star can help provide much-needed clarity. Unlike other nobleman stars, this is a spiritual nobleman. It improves wisdom and intuitiveness. If you allow it, it can change your perspectives and how you see things. With this in your quadrant, there is also a chance that you can learn from a guru or teacher. How can you help the Taiji Nobleman along? Practice mindfulness.
The presence of the Sky Bright is also a boon. This is an intelligence star that can support any of the other positive stars by enhancing your creativity, analytical skills, and talents.
NOT PROPHETIC IN NATURE
But please remember, this is not prophetic in nature. Also, this way of presenting the Zodiac stars is just one possible permutation of how things can flow. It can happen in any way. The goal of these annual posts is not to scare you. The goal is to show you what you want to avoid. These are neither promises nor threats! They’re just here to show you possible outcomes. So I hope, that in reading this, you learn to accentuate the positives and sidestep the negatives.
RAT IN THE YEAR PILLAR
For those born in the year of the Rat, your industry is looking extremely vibrant this year. The industry is looking for leaders with specific skillsets. Your job is to sell your skills and start to build that trust.
If you were to focus on networking in 2024, who can you possibly meet? Perhaps a guru? Captains of industry? Creative people? Movers and shakers. People who can inspire you to take action.
If you are looking for a job, you must sell your sword – your skillset.
However, with the Salty Pool, the relationship with new people that you meet may be short-lived in nature. Be OK with that. It’s up to you to follow-up if you want to build the relationship.
RAT IN THE MONTH PILLAR
If you are born in the month of the Rat, it’s time to sharpen your sword. Or even better, swords in the plural. Multiple swords. Multiple skillsets. Either acquire a new skill or enhance an existing skill – and then make sure you tell people that you have these skills.
The trick for the Rat in the month is to be alert for opportunities to showcase your talents.
Beyond that, physical wellness is also a factor. Because using these stars require physical and mental stamina. This bunch together can be quite exhausting. So if you already constantly feel fatigued, you may want to do something about your physical energy.
RAT IN THE DAY PILLAR
Courage is the key if the Rat governs your Day Pillar. The Sky Warrior and White Tiger are not necessarily bad stars if they can give you that fighting spirit to go after what you want. The courage to allow yourself to shine!
Growth for the Rat in the Day Pillar comes from your self development and personal growth as a human being. Growth can also come when you are able to gain that mindfulness to align your thoughts, words and action.
The caution here, where your personal relationships are concerned – your partner, your immediate household, people you see day in day out – don’t go picking fights for no reason to release stress. Find a different way to de-stress.
Or perhaps, from your perspective, your significant other is being nit-picky and fussy in 2024. Taiji nobleman is the answer – be the bigger woman or man.
RAT IN THE HOUR PILLAR
Extra ambitious in 2024! Suddenly, there is clarity, thanks to the Taiji Nobleman. If you have always been interested in the metaphysical sciences, 2024 would be a good year for you to take up a course or two. Because metaphysics (Indian, Chinese, Egyptian, Western, whatever) – at the end of the day – are all intuitive sciences. The presence of the Taiji Nobleman helps to take your understanding beyond the technical level, and to the intuitive level.
Of course, the Taiji nobleman can also help with clarity of thought. It helps you to see the bigger picture and understand patterns. So when this is in your investment pillar, you could also consider learning more about market psychology and market sentiments, for instance.
And finally, here’s the chance to become a subject-matter expert. In this case, where your knowledge is concerned, it’s time to deep dive.

Whenever the Indirect Wealth pops up on the Heavenly Stems, for a month at least, there is a probability of either attracting investors or at least increasing your income sources. For the Wu Earth Day Master, this is exactly what the October 2023 Bazi Chart represents.
WU EARTH DAY MASTER: WINNING OVER INVESTORS
Securing investment for your business can be a game-changer. Of course, the investor is not going to magically pop out of an old oil lamp. Which means that the Wu Earth Day Master will have some homework to do.
Your Ding Fire Resource star is a reminder to use the data advantage by compiling insightful and compelling data about your market. Next the Wu Earth Companion star is a reminder that you need to be out there talking to people and making connections to access the investors. And finally of course, with your Xin Metal Output star, the pitch had better be compelling!
But not everyone reading this will be in the market for an investor. I realize that. What’s another way to use the energy of the October 2023 Bazi Chart?
In this case, you could consider becoming a deal maker for a month. In today’s world, everyone is out there doing something. Your job, in October 2023, is to get out there, find out what’s going on, and see if you have the resources, connection or even know-how to help your contacts solve their immediate problems. And since you have the Indirect Wealth star on the Heavenly Stem, we are absolutely not going to do this for free. It’s perfectly ok to ask for a small commission. Even noble people deserves to get paid.
A campfire is always a must every time we go camping. In the olden days, campfires keep wild animals away. It’s a safety precaution. But if you look at this a little deeper, the lighting of a fire is akin to us claiming a space. For that short period of time, while we are occupying that space, the fire is how we claim that spot. In October 2023, this is exactly the opportunity being offered to the Ding Fire Day Master – the opportunity to claim your spot. More, it’s an opportunity to master your domain.
DING FIRE DAY MASTER: MASTER YOUR DOMAIN
In the dynamic landscape of business and personal growth, the ability to carve out your own space and thrive within it is a valuable skill. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a professional, owning your space means being a force to be reckoned with. Obviously, this can’t be done within the space of a short month.
But we could start! Let’s start by using your Ding Fire Companion star to pay some attention to the strength of our networks. Networking is the cornerstone of establishing your presence in any field. It’s more than just collecting as many business cards as you can. Instead, as time is of the essence, seek out key players who are already established in your chosen space. Connect with them, learn from their experiences and leverage their insights to accelerate your growth.
Of course, in today’s hyper connected world, there is no way to escape the presence of Social Media. That’s where your Wu Earth Output star comes in. In our digital age, your online presence is crucial. This is a part of your brand building – by sharing valuable content to showcase your expertise.
With the presence of your Xin Metal Wealth star, seek out the most high-impact network or content to focus on. After all, we’ve only got a month! All these activities are leading towards your Ren Water Influence star – here is authority, your chance to own a space beyond merely occupying it, and leave a lasting yet meaningful impact.
But don’t mistake me, ownership is not about domination, but about becoming an influential and respected presence that positively contributes to your industry or community.
Imagine the sun mirrored on a mountain lake. This is the picture formed when a Bing Fire Day Master looks down on the Ren Xu month in October 2023. Double the sun, twice the brilliance, magnifying that radiant glow.
BING FIRE DAY MASTER: ELEVATING YOUR PRESENCE
Charisma, often regarded as a mysterious quality, is not an innate gift reserved for a select few. It’s a skill that can be cultivated and honed over time. And if you are a rather visible Bing Fire Day Master, charisma can be one of the many tools you have in your arsenal.
Charisma is that magnetic quality that draws people in, makes you relatable, and leaves a positive impression. It’s a combination of charm, confidence and the ability to connect with others on a deeper level. While some individuals may seem naturally charismatic, it’s a trait that can be developed by anyone. And for the Bing Fire Day Master, why not give this a whirl in October 2023?
Let’s start by using your Ding Fire Companion star to engage your existing followers or community through active listening of their needs, concerns, and aspirations. This not only helps you build rapport but also gives you insight into what the market is feeling and thinking. Combined with your Wu Earth Output star, even crowdfunding ideas becomes easily available in October 2023.
Elsewhere, you could use your Wu Earth Output star to flex your creative muscles through innovative problem solving or even expressive storytelling.
But most of all, we are not about famous for being famous. With your Xin Metal Wealth star still in the mix, all this charisma building must be anchored upon real competence and results.
But do remember, becoming charismatic is a journey, not a destination. So start today and watch as your ability to inspire others blossom.
However, one caution before we go, when a Bing Fire Day Master is doubly visible, don’t even think about telling white lies. You will be called out!
Paddy fields are a common sight in Asia. At the beginning of the planting season, the paddy fields are flooded with water to support the young seedlings. Flooding rice fields improves the growth of rice, reduces vulnerability to uneven rainfall and produces higher yields relative to dry soils by reducing pests and weeds. This influx of water, is representative of the October 2023 Bazi Chart in relation to the Yi Wood Day Master.
While the energies certainly paint a pretty picture, how can we use this as a month-long strategy?
YI WOOD DAY MASTER: DARE TO FAIL
With a surge of Direct Resource energies coming at the Yi Wood Day Master, the October 2023 Bazi Chart presents an ideal environment to deep dive into a certain body of knowledge.
Since a month is not a very long time, let’s start by using your Ding Fire Output star to create a simple learning strategy. Why? To avoid wasting time! Couple that with your Wu Earth Wealth star to establish a learning plan with clearly defined goals and objectives. With your Xin Metal Influence star, take every opportunity to practice what you have learnt and allow yourself the room to fail. Please don’t fear failure. It’s the best teacher we have.
From a business or career perspective, the energies of the October 2023 Bazi Chart makes this a good month to test out new ideas, again with the objective of finding out what works and what doesn’t. Again, there must be a strategy coupled with measurable results. But with the Xin Metal Influence star, this becomes an element of risk management. By the end of the month, the goal is to have a clear-cut picture of what is viable, and what is not.
In 2024, quite a number of the Zodiac signs are making a comeback. And the Pig… is one of them!
2024 PIG: DRAGON VIRTUE AND EMPEROR STAR
First, a quick recap of 2023. Not the most pleasant of years, but breakthrough was possible. 2023 was a rather ‘combative’ year for the Pig.
For some Pigs, 2023 may have felt like a year where you permanently have your dukes up. You can put your dukes down now. Because in 2024, into your quadrant, comes two mega positive stars – the Dragon Virtue and the Emperor Star.
The Dragon Virtue is one of the prized auxiliary stars. Essentially, it is a powerful blessings star. It brings nobleman support and helps to smooth the way for us. It is also the ultimate game-changer that helps turn a negative situation into positive outcome. This alone can negate the effects of the negative stars and accentuate the effects of the positive stars, especially the Emperor Star.
The Emperor Star is a leadership star. It spotlights your leadership ability and how skilled you are at rallying the troops.
Which means that 2024 will be the year to build up your reputation and trust. More on that when we get to the different pillars.
2024 PIG: RED MATCHMAKER AND STUDY HALL
The Red Matchmaker is a Peach Blossom star. It enhances your likability and approval ratings.
The Study Hall is a minor intelligence star. For students, this brings exam luck. For working adults, this is enhanced learning capacities. Basically, you enjoy better mental clarity in 2024.
This is the point where we want to stop. Notice the dotted lines to the negative stars? We want to halt our effects right here. Because there is a hidden danger in this permutation. The combative stars in 2023, leading into the Emperor star in 2024, can create an ongoing me-against-the-world mindset.
2024 PIG: DEATH GOD AND HEAVENLY OFFICER CHARM
This is how things could play out. In 2023, you had to fight and scrap for every inch of progress. Come the Emperor star in 2024, you have this feeling of:
“I did it.”
“I don’t need nobody else.”
“I can do it on my own.”
“Now that I’m the Emperor, I don’t need to listen to nobody else.”
When you find yourself thinking that way, it’s that slippery slope down to the Death God. Things start to feel under-whelming because you are still trying to do everything on your own, and progress is hard to come by.
If you get caught up in the Death God way of thinking, there is a very high chance of offending or sidelining your support system. This is the Heavenly Officer Charm. As you can see, no matter where we go in this chart, the key always comes back to your leadership skills. Your ability to rally the troops.
As a side note, I want you to be aware that Heavenly Officer Charm can also bring legal problems. So do be careful of the documents you need to sign.
2024 PIG: BRUTAL DEFEAT AND DARK SKY
The Brutal Defeat is a sign that things are not stable yet. There are still ups and downs. Not all wars can be won. Even Emperors lose wars. Therefore, 2024 is not the time to get arrogant about taking risks. It’s not the time to be greedy and reckless. Instead, listen to your ministers, and be strategic about taking calculated risks.
Finally, the Dark Sky can be interpreted in two ways. If you are in business, especially in the business where the transfer of physical goods needs to be facilitated, you best have some back up plans. Because there may be interruption to your supply process.
This can also be interpreted as low immunity caused by… over-work… the Death God.
NOT PROPHETIC IN NATURE
But please remember, this is not prophetic in nature. Also, this way of presenting the Zodiac stars is just one possible permutation of how things can flow. It can happen in any way. The goal of these annual posts is not to scare you. The goal is to show you what you want to avoid. These are neither promises nor threats! They’re just here to show you possible outcomes. So I hope, that in reading this, you learn to accentuate the positives and sidestep the negatives.
PIG IN THE YEAR PILLAR
If the Pig is in your Year pillar, one possible strategy is to double down on your reputation building. Here is an opportunity to own a niche.
In terms of networking, you have access to people in power. Your job, is to make sure you ally with that.
For those of you who are in the dating game, the Red Matchmaker is the ultimate relationship star, so get out there and network. If you are a female Fire Day Master or a male Earth Day Master, all the more reason to put yourself out there.
PIG IN THE MONTH PILLAR
If the Pig is in your Month Pillar which governs your career and working environment, there are two possible permutations. Either you improve your leadership skills or you become an expert contributor.
The presence of the Dragon Virtue here can revive a flagging and stagnating career life. Your career is being given a new breath of life. Along with the Emperor star, is an opportunity to become of the key persons in your organization.
You can use these stars to improve your ability to use authority and to delegate.
If leadership is not your cup of tea, the other possible route is to upskill in order to become a valuable solo contributor who does not need to lead the team. If you’re going this route, please make sure the compensation is equal to the effort.
PIG IN THE DAY PILLAR
What if the Pig is in your Day Pillar? After all, this is the pillar that governs your personal wellbeing and personal relationships.
If you are single and available, it’s time to put your best foot forward and get out there into the dating scene. Be aware of the energy you radiate. What kind of vibes are you giving out?
Already partnered? This is the chance to take that relationship to a new level of intimacy. The relationship grows as you both grow. Very nice!
If not partnered and don’t intend to be partnered. Here is a chance to get to know yourself better. To put an end to the self-loathing, to make peace with who you are and who you want to be.
PIG IN THE HOUR PILLAR
One word answer: Upskill. Use the Study Hall.
What else can we do? With the Dragon Virtue it is possible to revive an old idea, refresh it, rebrand it, and launch it again. Maybe it failed in the past because the timing was not quite right. Now could be the time.
With the Brutal Defeat here, some form of capital protection strategies are called for if you are trading. Because there is a risk of being blind-sided. So please don’t go ‘all-in’. Know when to cut your losses and run.
From a mental wellness point of view, this collection of stars can make someone quite stubborn. Being stubborn is not necessarily a bad thing. You just have to manage the thinking process so that stubborn does not devolve into recklessness.
