After an aggressive month in July, August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) will be an exercise in reputation-building and maintenance for the Yi Wood Day Master.
From the perspective of the Yi Wood Day Master, the Ren Shen sees your Direct Resource sitting on your Direct Officer, and supported further by your Direct Wealth. That’s right, the Three Precious coming together within the context of a Rob Wealth year.
It’s a chance to burnish your reputation, to create a respectful yet competitive relationship with the other players in the market. In 2024, one of the positive stars in the Monkey is the Three Staves which supports good reputation and promotion luck through meeting the right noble people. Of the 10 Day Masters, the Yi Wood is the best poised to take advantage of the Three Stages.
So August is not the time for the Yi Wood Day Master to be a wallflower. You need to bloom, you need to shine. With the Direct Resource bringing you support, help, guidance and assistance, you need to be out there building relationships with advisers, mentors, and colleagues.
But where there is a positive, there must be a negative. If the presence of the Ren Shen is negative in your chart, the downside could be a lack of urgency and/or indecisiveness. The inability to act decisively because you are too busy seeking consensus before acting. A further caution, you are most likely to encounter passive-aggressive resistance in August.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | BUSINESS, CAREER, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: ENHANCE YOUR REPUTATION
Reputation isn’t passive. We don’t need to sit around and wait for others to shower us with accolades. There are things we can do to manage our reputation in the market, be it as business owners or career professionals.
Direct Resource sitting on Direct Officer, and supported by Direct Wealth is an opportunity to be recognized and respected for your contributions to the industry. We can help this along by offering profound insights, sharing expertise generously (and consistently), celebrating positive reviews or feedbacks, and most of all, by keeping our promises and honouring our commitments.
In today’s world, we can do this on our own through our social media platforms. Alternatively, connect with potential nobleman to seek for the platforms that will allow you to do just that.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: MASTER A SKILL TO IMPROVE YOUR COMPETITIVENESS
In Period 9, staying stagnant is never an option. As the world moves faster and faster, the risk of being left behind is always there. On a personal development basis, you could invest the time to master a new skill that can enhance your competitive edge.

In July, the Jia Wood Day Master had to keep your nose to the grindstone. It was do-or-die time. Now comes the August Ren Shen (壬申) which represents your Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings. By conservative Bazi interpretations, this is not an ideal configuration because there are quite a few potential threats.
The first is dormant health issues. After a month of hard work, it would be perfectly natural to feel that your energy is a bit low. August’s Ren Shen (壬申) month represents your Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings. When our energy is low, the first concern will always be health as the Indirect Resource can also represent health issues or illnesses. Therefore, we need to use the 7 Killings to get active, and stay active. Yes, I’m about to tell you to exercise. And if you need a break, by all means do so.
The second probable threat is the intense knee-jerk reaction the Indirect Resource on 7 Killings brings. The Indirect Resource represents our radar. In 2024, two of the Auxiliary Stars in the Monkey are the Five Ghost and Back Poking. Again, when energy is low, fear creeps in. You risk becoming overly suspicious, unduly sensitive to even the most banal off-the-cuff remarks, and it becomes so easy to feel like you are battling a lonely battle alone with no support from the people around you.
However, on the positive spectrum, this can be a month where you spend some time focusing on aligning your action (7 Killings) to your true calling or purpose (Indirect Resource).
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS: CREATE NEW TRENDS AND NEW EXCITEMENT
Business owners know that the market does not stop while you take a break. So for good or bad, this Ren Shen month must still be used in a productive manner. One way to use the Ren Shen’s Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings is to create new trends and new excitement in the market. Break out of the norm, share new discoveries, start a new ripple effect. In my previous career, Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings is called ‘Breaking News. Follow for more updates.’
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS AND CAREER: ON-GROUND MARKET SENTIMENTS
A month where your Indirect Resource is sitting on your 7 Killings can be very hectic. Expect to see recurring issues popping up, small inconveniences and annoyances. Since it’s going to be hectic, instead of taking a passive stance, let’s be pro-active about using this month.
Create a market tour where you visit as many key customers as you can. Re-build the relationship. Listen to their complaints. Learn the sentiments on ground. Understand their unique challenges. While on the surface, it may sound like they are attacking you with endless complaints, but as long as a customer is still complaining, you’ve still got a chance. This is where the support of your hidden Indirect Wealth is going to come in handy. These conversations might spark a new idea on how you can improve your service, business, and profitability.
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | PERSONAL: THE ULTIMATE USE OF A 7 KILLINGS
In a month when your 7 Killings star is strong, the automatic reaction is to feel like you are constantly under attack. A lot of petty people, small issues, all reinforced by the presence of the Five Ghosts and Back Poking. Every day becomes a battle, swimming in an endless tide of negativity. Exhausting! Then this triggers the Indirect Resource’s natural inclination for solitude and quiet.
But let’s talk about the ultimate use of a 7 Killings star. It’s about the ability to decide, “I’m done with this shit.” Let me stress, that I’m not advocating that you quit. But what you can do is to decide that from this moment on, you will no longer allow these negativity to affect you anymore.
Since the 7 Killings can also represent freedom (specifically freedom to act), the ability to choose and curate how we feel is the ultimate freedom. This single decision alone can be very empowering.

If July’s Xin Wei month had indeed brought you the inspiration for your next evolution, August’s Ren Shen (壬申) month brings the seeds for the start of a new movement. Gui Water Day Masters will see a rooted Rob Wealth sitting on your Direct Resource, and further supported by your Direct Officer.
Following the principles of the Taiji, any interaction with your Chart can bring either positive or negative outcomes. Beginning this month, I will try to outlay the potential plus and minuses of each month. Your job, on the other hand, is to decide to use the positive, instead of triggering the negative.
Potential benefits would be enhanced leadership. On the negative spectrums, your staff, followers or minions could cause problems.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS: INFLUENCER MARKETING
The Rob Wealth is a mind-control star. In today’s world, we call them influencers! The Rob Wealth also talks about the concept of ‘many’. In essence, many people.
A potential positive use of this energy would be to create a systemized sales referral program to enhance your influencer marketing outreach.
Caution: Do not tie your brand to their image.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS AND CAREER: MASTERY TRAINING
Enhance your leadership influence by creating training programmes for your clients or internally within your organization. By this, I mean you need to do the training.
Because when we train, we enhance our visibility and sphere of influence, we gain in status and recognition as an expert in our field, and we create an opportunity to interact with colleagues and teams from other departments which opens up possibilities for relationships, mentorship and collaboration.
A Gui Water Day Master’s natural gift is the gift of subtle influence. Like the mist and invisible water vapours, Gui Water can cover a large and diverse ground. Volunteering to conduct training can give you that opportunity to leave your mark on others within the organization.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | PERSONAL: INVEST, DON’T SPEND
First, let’s get the bad news out of the way. When your Rob Wealth is being produced by your Direct Resource, which then produces your Hurting Officer in the month, here is an inclination to spend in order to show off. In essence, you could be depleting your current resources in an attempt to keep up with the Joneses.
But if money is going out, let’s think investments instead of spending. Invest the funds into group activities. Invest in mastery courses that helps you improve your leadership, authority, or personal branding.

After two months of super dry charts, now comes the flooding. The monthly Bazi Charts analysis can be used in different ways. Of course, we can use it to forecast global events, but I believe that it would be more productive if we were to look at this from a psychological point of view. It’s about the feelings and emotions that affect all of us, our thoughts, our words, our actions.
‘WARE THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATIONS
We see a strong Gui Water Day Master born in the season of Metal and supported by a strong Direct Resource.
The half combination between the Monkey and the Dragon creates more Water into the Chart. This is further strengthened by the combination between the Monkey and the Snake. If Water is favourable in your Chart, this can bring a surge of new ideas, creativity, intelligence, mobility, resourcefulness and enhanced mental capacity. If, however, Water is unfavourable in your Chart, this can bring about excessive fear and emotions.
After all the Ren Shen (壬申) pillar is visualized as a submarine or a shark. Yes, it can be melancholy. But it is also a pillar of deep thinking, deep thoughts, as well as intellectual and emotional depth.
The presence of the Harm relationship between the Dragon (Year) and the Rabbit (Day) talks about potential emotional triggers.
But what are these emotional triggers exactly? The Chart carries a hint. The Rob Wealth in the month represents a strong competitive streak. The Rob Wealth is a mind-control star. So in August 2024, be mindful that you may possibly see many attempts at emotional selling, fear-mongering, as well as tactics designed to trigger your scarcity thinking.
On the positive side however, again because of the strong Rob Wealth star in the Chart, spending sentiments are on the upswing. While this may be good news on the stock market, let’s also be aware of the increased inclination towards a speculative mindset.
AUXILIARY STARS UP FOR GRABS
Against the background of all that emotions, the Monkey month comes the following Auxiliary Stars:
Positive Stars
Three Stages
Negative Stars
Five Ghosts
Officer Charm
Flying Charm
Year Charm
Earth Killings/Earth Sha
Back Poking
In a nutshell, the Auxiliary Stars are talking about the risks of being high-profile (Three Stages). Or let’s call this the price of fame? The more high profile you are, the more important it is to ensure that your statutory payments are up to date, as the Officer Charm, Flying Charm, and Year Charm all talk about penalties, fines, and other government-related transactions.
The Five Ghosts and Back Poking represent emotional manipulation. As mentioned, keeping your emotions in check is vital in August 2024. For these emotional manipulation could escalate to the Earth Killings or Earth Sha which denotes obstacles, blockages and stagnation.
Which of the 10 Day Masters is most at risk? The Jia Day Master who sees an Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings which amplifies the knee-jerk reactions.
But on the other hand, who will be poised to take the most advantage of the Three Stages? Potentially, the Ding Fire Day Master and Yi Wood Day master. The Bing Fire Day Master can also benefit, but you gotta take it by force, and never mind what others will say. Conversely, which Day Master will be more vulnerable to the adverse stars in the Monkey? The Xin Metal Day Master.
ANIMAL SIGNS AFFECTED BY THE REN SHEN
The events of the month will more likely affect you if you have the following animal signs in your Natal Bazi Chart or in your current Luck Pillar.
The Snake
Let’s get the bad news out of the way. Beware of scams. Also, be a little more inhibited about sharing your ideas, sales leads, or resources.
But positive use of your connection with the Monkey will require a willingness to experience some discomfort growth. You may need to unlearn some old and outdated knowledge in order to input new ideas or resources. This process might feel uncomfortable, but the outcome will be worth it. Alternatively, put your feelings aside, and create more time in your schedule for relationship-building.
The Rat
If you have the Rat anywhere in your Bazi Chart, the 3 Harmony completes between the Dragon year and Monkey month. This enhances your sensitivity and intuition. On the negative side, you may find yourself bogged down by repetitive issues or problems that keep cropping up, resulting in a gravitation towards instant gratification. Essentially, retail therapy.
But what if you were to use this connection to launch something important? To understand what the market is feeling and to create a strategy that responds correspondingly? To use your creativity and analytical skills to add value in what you do? Wouldn’t that be a better way to use this 3 Harmony?
The Dragon
With an ongoing self-punishment with the Year, and now a 3 Harmony with the incoming Monkey month, there is a strong calling to step up to the plate and be the Grand Duke. Lead! Solve problems! Take ownership! Be proactive! Contribute solutions! And most of all, be resilient! Because there will always be new problems to be solved, and new conflict that requires mediation.
Because when we solve the hard problems is when our value increases. Even if this does not immediately translate into an uptick in earnings, the boost to our own self-confidence and self-belief is worth the battle.
The Tiger
If you have the Tiger anywhere in your Bazi Chart, here comes the annual monthly clash. So get moving! Travel, experience new things, get out of your comfort zone, try something new, be open to changes, experiment!
Because if you stay stagnant, the risks of being affected by the emotional manipulations from the social media becomes heightened. And as always, do be careful when you are on the road. An additional aside, perhaps refrain from buying anything high ticket in August? There is an increased risk of defects and blemishes.
The Pig
If you have the Pig anywhere in your Bazi Chart, the month-long Harm with the Monkey can bring about a change of sentiments. On the negative side, there is a warning about biting off more than you can chew. Of taking big risks without the resources to back it up. Over-expansion or taking on a big loan for something with speculative returns. Like trying to trade Short before you are even ready.
When you venture down this path, the ability to govern your emotions is of vital importance. Because this path leads to becoming over-whelmed and it becomes easier to trigger the silly mistakes.
But on the plus side, the Pig has got fantastic problem-solving skills in 2024. You’ve also got the Emperor Star which not only connects you to resources, but also instils a yen to take massive action.
Finding the middle path between the two is very important. The only way to dissolve a Harm relationship is to manage your expectations. Stick to the plan and stack the small wins.

You know when we are working, we always say that we need to get into the zone? That mental space where focus and productivity comes effortlessly? Your Fu Wei direction is that zone!
Who is this useful for? Students – young students, MBA students, PHD students. If your work requires deep thought and concentration – for example, writers. It’s the type of work that doesn’t require interaction, just me and my brain type of work.
Ok, let’s unpack the benefits of facing our Fu Wei or Stability direction, shall we?
Gua 1 (North)
Facing this direction enhances self-awareness, you gain in wisdom, and by gaining more wisdom, helps you with your self-healing, especially emotional healing, and self-transformation.
Gua 2 and Gua 5 men (Southwest)
This enhances internal balance and harmony. It reduces that infernal internal conflict. Quiets down the voices inside, nice!
Gua 3 (East)
The benefit from using this direction is the ability to uncover self-potential. And by doing so, expands your personal horizons. This is so important. So many of us live within a prison of ‘cannot’. I cannot do this because… I cannot do that because… Cannot, cannot, cannot… we limit ourselves. So when a Gua 3 faces your Fu Wei, cannot turns into maybe.
Gua 4 (Southeast)
Enhances your learning capacity. You become a more knowledgeable person. But if you use this direction long term, you must know how to transform knowledge into money, ok?
Gua 6 (Northwest)
This direction increases your sense of purpose. Having a sense of purpose is the key for many success in life. Otherwise, we give up too fast without this sense of purpose.
Gua 7 (West)
This is literally your muse direction. No need to wait for the muse to talk to you, you face the muse and demand for inspiration.
Gua 8 and Gua 5 women (Northeast)
This direction enhances grounding, something very important for the Gua 8. Gua 8 individuals don’t like to feel out of control. When they are out of control, they can’t function.
Gua 9 (South)
Facing this direction ignites your passion, making you more charismatic and inspiring to others.

Let’s explore the Huo Hai direction. Mishaps. Generally, considered an unfavourable direction. Why?
The crux of facing our personal Huo Hai is that it gives the impression to others that we don’t know what we’re doing.
It doesn’t mean we don’t know our stuff. Not at all. The problems is, people THINK you don’t know what you’re doing. And as a result, your efforts are undermined, the sales don’t happen, projects get cancelled.
But is there a positive aspect to the Huo Hai? Yes, it gives us the courage to experiment and try new things. The ability to learn from our mistakes. Very useful when someone is seeking new experiences. In other words, this is the dare to fail direction. And with this dare to fail, comes a willingness to step outside of our comfort zones and explore new horizons.
That’s why the Huo Hai can be considered as an action sector – it encourages fun, exploration, trial and error.
Before I deep dive into the individual Life gua, just know that the general effect of facing the Huo Hai is the impression of lack of skills or knowledge. In other words, the Huo Hai makes us look like a dunce.
Which means we need to manage this overall effect. People need to know we are experimenting. You need to communicate that you are trying out something new.
Gua 1 (West)
This enhances your curiosity and supports your efforts to gain insight. Become like a curious cat. Keep asking why. Why this, why that. Irritating. Ask too much, people think you don’t know your stuff. But the ability to question, and the willingness to sometimes ask the obvious questions, can be pretty important, isn’t it?
Gua 2 and Gua 5 men (East)
This could affect your anxiety level by adding subtle pressure on you to take action. This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it lends urgency to your actions. But on the other hand, it could make you take action before you are ready. This is when mistakes happen.
Gua 3 (Southwest)
This direction is good for pushing boundaries, but you must let people know that you are venturing into uncharted territory.
Gua 4 (Northwest)
Facing this direction fosters your willingness to cooperate with others. Not a bad thing, except that it could make you seem a bit indecisive, a follower instead of a leader
Gua 6 (Southeast)
This enhances your intellectual curiosity. It could make you a better all-rounder but you run the risk of being seen as a jack of all trades, master of none.
Gua 7 (North)
This direction enhances courage in your creative endeavours. Too far ahead of the trend, maybe? Others simply cannot follow. A good example is musicians who grow musically so far ahead of their followers that they lose touch with their fan base.
Gua 8 and Gua 5 women (South)
Gua 8 is typically someone who knows their own minds. Firm! Unchanging! Facing the Huo Hai creates self-doubt, because it potentially affects your clarity of thought
Gua 9 (Northeast)
This direction creates a lot of passions. It can reignite your zest for life but at the same time create competing passions, leading to incomplete projects or tasks.

Let’s talk about the Yan Nian or Longevity direction. The outcome of using this direction – great relationships. That’s it. Good PR. It helps you radiate positive energy that attract people, helps to foster authenticity and integrity in your interactions with others. It helps you form and maintain meaningful relationships.
If you have read the Liu Sha post, you wouldn’t be wrong to think, “What’s the diff between this and Liu Sha? Liu Sha is about interpersonal skills as well?”
Well, the key difference between the two is – Liu Sha enhances mass appeal. Yan Nian is more for one-on-one relationship-building. In short, it enhances your social intelligence.
In fact, we often use the Yan Nian in lieu of the Tian Yi. Like for example, it’s not possible for the client to face their Tian Yi, then we use the Yan Nian to help them build positive relationships. Because when you have great relationships, chances are, mentors will come. That’s the rationale.
Who can use this direction well? People working in sales. If you build great relationships with your clients, it will be easier to close deals. Also useful for those working in particularly contentious or political environments – because this helps you create true connections, helps you gain respect of others, people know and understand you.
How is the Yan Nian viewed in traditional Feng Shui? Having babies.
OK, so how can each of the different Life Gua work with your Yan Nian?
Gua 1 (South)
This direction enhances your observation skills. Makes it easier to pick up non-verbal cues from others. When you can easily figure out what people want, it becomes easier to build strong relationships.
Gua 2 and Gua 5 men (Northwest)
This enhances your ability to nurture others. It ramps up your ability to teach, counsel, help others grow along with you. The great relationships happen because everyone is growing together with you.
Gua 3 (Southeast)
Facing this direction helps you enhance your innovativeness, out of the box thinking, and indirectly helps you improve your problem-solving skills
Gua 4 (East)
This improves your creative thinking and storytelling skills. It helps you build great relationships by making you someone fascinating or even compelling to have a conversation with. Because somehow, you always have these amazing insights to share.
Gua 6 (Southwest)
This direction helps to enhance your strategic planning abilities. By nature, Gua 6 individuals in general tend to be quite authoritative. Stern, a little rigid, stickler for rules. Gua 6 is usually all about delegating. So if we can enhance these by improving your strategic planning skills, why not?
Gua 7 (Northeast)
Facing this direction helps enhance your knowledge base. This aura of authority. You know what you are talking about. Creative, but grounded, is the overall effect.
Gua 8 and Gua 5 women (West)
This enhances your efficiency and effectiveness. People like working with efficient and effective people. ‘Nuff said.
Gua 9 (North)
This direction helps you communicate better, become a better negotiator, a more convincing speaker.
So as you can see by now, each of these directions bring different outcomes. It enhances different aspects of our natural abilities and skills. And it really is the easiest way to use Feng Shui in our daily lives.

The 9-6 combination is known as the Fire Burning Heavenly Gate combination. If you are one of those looking to buck the trend and cause some disruptions, the Southwest will be a great sector to use. Under normal circumstances, however, you may need to be prepared to handle some form of ‘rebellion’. This could either be externally driven (as in others are not following your instruction), or you could be feeling discontented and disruptive.
If you are a Gua 1 individual, you can even use this formation to leapfrog your way up the organizational ladder.
West (5 – 2):
The 5-2 combination is generally avoided because of its potential for wealth loss or health issues. However, please note that this negative combination can only be triggered if you ‘disrupt’ the energy in the West sector by drilling and hacking. Note that the West sector is still OK for everyday use, provided there are no negative forms outside of that area.
Northwest (4 – 1):
Excellent sector in July for upskill and also problem-solving. The academic strengths of Star 4 is being strengthened by the wisdom and intelligence of Star 1. If you find yourself in a position where you need to think your way out of a problem, Northwest is the sector to use. The 4-1 is really one of the most favoured combinations. Students preparing for exam, adult students looking to upskill or to master a difficult topic or skill can also use this sector to boost your learning capabilities.
Who will benefit most? Gua 4 individuals!
North (8 – 5):
Too much Earth stars coming together can cause stagnation or even poor decision-making. The 8-5 combination does have some wealth potential, but only for those who make money from unconventional means.
Northeast (6 – 3):
The 6-3 combination is like having your feet cut off from under you. I wouldn’t purposely use this sector, but if you are already stationed here, keep a low profile, stay away from unnecessary arguments, don’t allow yourself to be provoked or drawn into other people’s drama.
East (1 – 7):
If you have been looking to enhance your speaking abilities, the East is the sector to be in. When the intelligence and wisdom of Star 1 is combined with the persuasive abilities of Star 7, this is a nice sector for self-expression and enhancing connections with others. Great sector for those in sales, media, PR, or any businesses where eloquence is a success factor.
Who will likely receive the most benefits from this combination? Gua 3.
Southeast (2 – 8):
The best combination of the month. For businesses, the 2-8 combination enhances transactions and helps to stabilize income. For career professionals, the 2-8 can also bring future career growth opportunities. But please note that Star 8 is a hard working star. So if you are going to use this sector, get ready to keep your nose to the grindstone.
South (7 – 4)
A good sector to use if you are looking to enhance your charisma. Similar to the 1-7 combination in the East, the 7-4 combination gives you the charisma to communicate your knowledge in a way that is convincing to others. But just being in this sector is useless. You need to use this sector while doing presentations, sales pitches, livestream, recording videos.

In July 2024’s Xin Wei month (辛未), the Geng Metal Day Master will need to deal with a little bit of competition. When viewed from the right perspective, competition can be healthy. It can be a motivator. And if you had spent June’s energy to mould yourself into a stronger player, does the Rob Wealth really scare you?
BUSINESS: STUDY YOUR COMPETITORS
A month where your Rob Wealth weakens your Direct Resource may see you spending unnecessary money to outshine your competitors. But some competitors cannot be outshone. And in any facet of life, competitors will always be there. This is especially true in business. If you are in a business where there are no competitors, chances are, it’s not a great business to begin with (because no one else is interested).
Instead of spending crazy money trying to outspend others, why not engage your Direct Resource to study your competitors? After all, the Rob Wealth is now on the Heavenly Stems. Their activities are now visible to you. You could methodically study their products or offerings (Direct Wealth), and even their business model or business systems (Direct Officer).
This information will come in useful in August, when your Eating God comes into play. But more of that when the time comes.
CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: GET INVOLVED IN THE TRENCHES
A Rob Wealth month easily creates feelings of jealousy and comparison. But spending a month consumed by envy is not very productive. Instead, let’s use the positive side of the Rob Wealth – the more motivating side.
The July 2024’s Xin Wei month brings you the opportunity to enhance your leadership skill and lead by example. To do this, you could:
Direct Wealth: Roll up your sleeves and work alongside your team. Too many managers ‘say’, but they don’t ‘do’. It’s hard to understand the obstacles your team are facing if you don’t get your hands dirty once in a while.
Direct Officer: Maintain clarity and morale by upholding the existing organizational hierarchy. If you don’t like the feeling of being bypassed, others wouldn’t either.
Direct Resource: Encourage a learning culture for yourself and your staff.
Rob Wealth: Think collaboration, not competition. Motivate others, through your own example, to work together as a team.

In May 2024, one of the suggested strategies for the Ji Earth Day Master was to acquire more resources. We needed those resources to go against the grain in June. Come July 2024’s Xin Wei month (辛未), it’s time to put your money where your mouth is and increase the social impact of what you do.
BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: CONTRIBUTE
Eating God sitting on Friend as the main Qi in the Earthly Branches can potentially bring you a lot of nobleman and support. Bolstered by this support, the Ji Earth Day Master has the chance to increase the social impact of your business or career.
Another way to interpret the Friend star producing the Eating God, is literally, “take what you know, and present it to the world”.
Guided by this principle, here are some ideas to use a month where your 7 Killings, Indirect Resource, Friend, and Eating God are at play:
Teach and educate others on topics you are passionate about. Not enough time to organize a workshop? Create tutorials, guides, or thought-provoking content on social media.
Strategize ways to turn your knowledge into a business that solves real-world problems.
Use your knowledge to advocate for causes you believe in. Better yet, show the world your compassion and commitment by volunteering or supporting charitable organizations.
Using charitable or social impact causes in marketing campaigns are nothing new. They are a common strategy used to show consumers that your business is here for the greater good. It shows you’ve got skin in the game. Many businesses do support a lot of charitable organizations. Most don’t even bother to advertise their involvement. But sometimes, used judiciously, you can create a bigger impact, not only for yourself but also for the charitable cause you support by roping in the contributions from more people.
And of course, from a personal standpoint, the benefits of volunteering are many. The very act of giving pays back with a boost in self confidence and personal breakthroughs.
