Remember the Monthly Virtue in the Rooster? It’s a problem-solving star. And for the Ding Fire Day Master, September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) represents your 7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth. Which makes you, officially, the fixer and problem-solver of the month. Alternatively, if the mood so hits, you could be the trouble maker as well. If you wish!
In case you’re wondering why… a 7 Killings month will usually make you a bit of a magnet for challenges and problems. From a negative point of view, a 7 Killings weakening your Indirect Wealth can point towards problems associated with your side income or side hustle.
But we want to turn this into a positive, don’t we? If the Indirect Wealth represents side income, and the 7 Killings represent problems and challenges, coupled with the Monthly Virtue available in the Rooster, this will open a chance to monetize your problem-solving skills.
SEPTEMBER 2024 DING FIRE | BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: PRIORITY AND FOCUS
If the 7 Killings pulls in challenges, then here is the chance for you to prioritize and focus on the critical issues at hand. Again, remember that with the Rooster month, the Monthly Virtue is now available to everyone.
The Monthly Virtue is a problem-solving star. It helps by lending support when we take action to resolve certain issues. Using the month’s energy to address certain chronic problems that have been obstructing you in the past, can help create growth and allow you to move forward.
But as always, sitting around will not trigger the Monthly Virtue. Action is required, more so in a 7 Killings month.
Additionally, when it comes to monetizing, here are some ideas:
Create a service to help people take action or do some form of action-planning
Offer motivation and accountability – volunteer to be accountability buddy for someone?
Position yourself as a troubleshooter (but note that you will need to have real-world experience to take this on)
NOBLEMAN MONTH ALERT
The Rooster is the nobleman star for the Ding Fire Day Master. If you are really stuck, reach out to someone who may have the ideas, advice, contacts, or knowledge to help you get unstuck.

In an environment where resources are currently being shared, maintaining high standards of process, quality, deliverables and cohesion can be challenging yet essential for success. For the Bing Fire Day Master, September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) month represents your Direct Officer sitting on Direct Wealth within the context of an Indirect Resource year. This makes it the best month to get organized and focus on your business processes.
On the plus side, is the opportunity to take advantage of the new opportunities or resources available by leveraging on your reputation as a trustworthy and respected individual.
On the negative end, we want to get ahead of any potential risks of reputation damage that may arise due to flaws in your current systems or processes.
SEPTEMBER 2024 BING FIRE | BUSINESS AND CAREER: IMPROVE YOUR PROCESS
Our business process is the backbone of the company’s existence. All the marketing in the world will be useless without a solid process behind it. In today’s fast-paced world, the emphasis on speed and efficiency often overshadows the importance of quality and deliverables.
From a business perspective, we can use this month to work on one of the following:
Establishing efficient workflows
Implementing quality control measures
Facilitating a collaborative culture and team-building
The benefits of spending a month on improving your process are many. In a crowded market, quality sets you apart from competitors and your high-quality work builds trust and credibility. But more pertinently, discipline and a strong process can help you free up room in your schedule for more creativity, which will perfectly set the stage for your upcoming Indirect Resource month in October.
This is even more important if you had launched something new and exciting or accepted the chance to lead a new project in August. It’s time to enforce some discipline into the process to ensure sustainability and deliverability.
But note that with the Cascading Cloud in the Rooster, surface fixes are not the answer. It’s not enough to create a nice-looking workflow. The Cascading Cloud talks about past grievances. So the core issues must be addressed.
SEPTEMBER 2024 BING FIRE | CAREER: CONFLICT RESOLUTION
In an environment of shared resources, there is always a fine line to be drawn between conflict and cooperation. The Bing Fire Day Master, with your in-born big thinking abilities, is perhaps the best to leverage on your supportive Direct Officer star to strike the balance between individual needs and the collective good.
SEPTEMBER 2024 BING FIRE | PERSONAL: THE BENEFITS OF SELF-DISCIPLINE
The Bing Fire Day Master is the most routine of creatures. For the Bing Fire, one of the most standard advise is to regularly check your rituals and routines. Do they continue to serve your purpose? A Bing Fire Day Master cannot function without some form of structure and predictability.
September’s Gui You month, where your Direct Officer is being produced by your Direct Wealth star, is the best month to revisit and revise your routine as needed.
NOBLEMAN MONTH ALERT
The Rooster is the nobleman star for the Bing Fire Day Master. If you are really stuck, reach out to someone who may have the ideas, advice, contacts, or knowledge to help you get unstuck. This makes you one of the day masters who are best poised to use the Imperial Advisor in the Rooster.

In August, the Yi Wood Day Master had a chance to earn the respect of your peers and competitors. Now in September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉), the opportunity may come for you to make like a remora fish and swim (safely) with the sharks.
Ever watched a few remora fish tethered to a shark? It’s a symbiotic relationship that works for both parties. The remora feeds off the parasites and leavings from the shark, and at the same time, enjoys the protection of the larger species. The shark also benefits from the relationship as the remora removes irritating or harmful parasites from its skin.
Translated into human terms, September 2024 is offering the Yi Wood Day Master a chance to create a win-win symbiotic relationship with a larger player in the market. Most of us, will inevitably find that we are swimming in a pond with larger competitors. Unless, of course, your name is Google or Microsoft (but note the results from August’s antitrust lawsuit against Google). In the tech world, especially, this is a common alliance where many startups ally themselves with larger competitors to take advantage of either their resources or their insights into new consumer trends.
If September’s Gui You is a positive influence in your chart, this could allow you the chance to either stress-test new products or ideas, or identify new trends that your competitors are working towards.
If the Gui You brings a negative impact into your chart, you may find yourself caught up on trivial matters, resulting in stagnation.
But regardless, the 7 Killings is in play. Which can bring potential challenges. If you intend to ride on the trend created by a larger competitor, it is essential to remain ethical and respectful of intellectual property and confidentiality agreements.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | BUSINESS: COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES
Please don’t get me wrong. I am absolutely not advocating that you copy someone else’s products or business model. Instead, a great symbiotic relationship can be established if you can create a complementary service that enhances each other’s offerings.
You could also consider piggybacking on your competitor’s distribution channels to reduce costs.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEW RESOURCES
The Yi Wood Day Master can also consider taking advantage of the new resources being kicked up by the September 2024 chart. For example, keep an eye out for cross-company mentorship programmes, joint training programs or even secondments to other divisions or departments where you can improve your skill, enlarge your network, and practice your new knowledge at the same time.

For the Jia Wood Day Master, September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) represents your Direct Resource sitting on your Direct Officer. Which makes this a good month to foster a collaborative environment, promote continuous learning, and enhance overall development.
On the positive spectrum, you may find that you could have the opportunity to tap into new resources by working with your peers and colleagues. For example, creating a shared database that everyone can use (best if you create it, monetize it, and then offer it to them, of course).
But you must be aware of the potential risk if the Gui You is a negative presence to your Bazi Chart. In this case, you may find yourself getting too stuck in the theoretical concepts and modelling stage, that you are unable to move forward.
SEPTEMBER 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: RESOURCE POOLING
September 2024 is all about resource pooling for the Jia Wood Day Master. Consider the following ideas:
Shared libraries, toolkits and templates – network your way into groups that are working together to establish digital and physical libraries, databases, toolkits and templates. Of course, don’t just take! If you want to take advantage of the Rooster’s Monthly Virtue, you need to contribute as well.
Collaborative platforms – establish your presence in online forums or communities where you can share your experiences and provide advice.
Networking Opportunities – host (not attend) networking events to facilitate connections and collaborations among affinity groups.
Collaboration Softwares – take advantage of the many collaboration software available in the market to make work more seamless for you, your team mates, and your staff.
Organize your data – if the above suggestion doesn’t stoke your fire, then at the very least, invest some time into organizing your data so that it is more accessible and useful to you.

When I look at the September 2024’s Bazi Chart, a mental picture of a savannah oasis comes to mind. It’s a deep watering hole visited by many different types of animals. Some may be predators, others may be prey. It tells a story of shared resources, cooperation and of course, conflict.
We see a weak Jia Wood Day Master sharing a much-needed pool of resource between them.
The pool is deep, no danger of running dry as it is rooted in the Dragon (Year), supported by the Xin Metal Direct Officer, and further strengthened by the Rooster-Dragon Metal Combination.
But when different species of animals congregate together around an oasis, there might be moments of tension and unmet expectations as evidenced by the Rooster-Dog Harm relationship. These are normal emotional triggers that are bound to happen when we take from a shared resource.
And then the feelings of unmet expectations take hold, that’s when trouble happens. See the Dog-Dragon clash?
Instigators and provocateurs may take advantage of this situation to stir up trouble. The Dog (Day) and Horse (Hour) creates a half-combination.
GLOBAL OUTLOOK
In terms of a global outlook, after the emotional turmoil of August, the governments had decided to make more resources available to the people, in the hopes of quenching their dissatisfaction and stabilizing the situation. But of course, resources can never be equally distributed. (What trickle down effect?) So naturally, some will receive more than others. This inequality will potentially fuel a rejection of the opportunities, stirred up by provocateurs and instigators. The external part of the Chart combines to form Metal. The internal part of the Chart combines to form Fire. The clash between Fire and Metal is rebellious by nature. A rebellion against authority or the norms. Therefore, the troubles astir are not over yet.
PSYCHOLOGICAL OUTLOOK
From a psychological point of view, people are dipping into a well of normalcy, norms, ritual and routine to regain a sense of structure and predictability. Just as how animals have specific times or seasons for visiting the oasis. But the Rooster-Dog Harm can create a feeling of receiving less than your fair share. And so, angered by the apparent unfairness of it all, you decide to ‘check out’ of the race.
ORGANIZATIONAL OUTLOOK
If we were to view this Chart as an organization, the Year pillar represents the CEO and board level, the Month pillar represents the senior management (where the VPs are), the Day pillar represents middle management, while the Hour pillar represents the staff. So if we were to tell the story of this Chart from an organizational perspective, we see the CEO, board level, and senior management working together to create new resources. But the new resources are not available to everyone, causing dissatisfaction amongst the middle managers. Instigated by external parties or perhaps even the union workers, the middle managers are rebelling against the top level leaders.
ADAPTATION AND SURVIVAL
In conclusion, the September 2024 Bazi Chart is a lesson in adaptation and survival. The ones who can adapt quickest to the changing norms will benefit best.
AUXILIARY STARS UP FOR GRABS
Against the background of all those hidden tensions and conspiracies, the Rooster month comes the following Auxiliary Stars:
Positive Stars
Grand Duke Combination
Earth Relief
Imperial Advisor
Month Virtue
Peach Blossom
Salty Pool
Negative Stars
Flying Blade
Death Charm
Lesser Consumer
Year Sha
Cascading Cloud
To elaborate on the Auxiliary Stars, I will use the example from the Organizational outlook segment of this post.
The CEO level and upper management are faced with an onslaught of mudslinging (Flying Blade) and quarrels (Year Sha). To stabilize the situation (Grand Duke Combination), the board of directors decided to spend some small money (Lesser Consumer) by offering some form of incentives. They are hoping that these incentives will serve to dispel some of the negative feelings within the organization (Earth Relief and Month Virtue).
Unfortunately, their outlook is short-term (Salty Pool) and populist (Peach Blossom) by nature. The incentives offered has not addressed the past grievances (Cascading Cloud), and then they behave all ‘shocked Pikachu’ when their offer creates more grumbles (Death Charm).
From a personal and psychological point of view, we see efforts out there to stabilize the entire situation, but we feel that we are not benefitting from these actions. As a result, there is a resistance to take up the new offers perhaps because the new resources are not addressed for our needs.
ANIMAL SIGNS AFFECTED BY THE GUI YOU
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 Dragon
This could be the month where you can potentially meet up with advisors or noble people who can help you stabilize the growth you have been aiming for in your Grand Duke year.
The Snake
There are still potential collaborations and partnerships in the offing, but you need to act fast and follow-up conscientiously. Otherwise, there could be a risk of your projects landing on to other people’s laps after you have done all the hard work.
And as always, with the Robbery Sha sticking with you in 2024, do be careful of the links you click.
The Ox
Keep an eye out for new opportunities or new ideas in the Rooster month. You could be one of the recipients of the new resources becoming available. But to take advantage of it, you may need to stand up to fake rumours or obstacles.
The Rabbit
This is the clash month for you. If you are looking for some time to re-charge your batteries before you go full tilt into the final quarter of the year, September could be a good time to do so.
The Rooster
Do try to refrain from getting sucked into other people’s drama. Keep your eyes on the ball, and stay focused on making the most from your opportunities.
The Dog
Expect feelings of restlessness as you gear up for your clash month in October. This could be a good time to dive inwards to address some of your own emotional obstacles. Alternatively, dispel those restlessness by opening yourself up to new experiences.
The Rat
The hidden tensions within the September 2024 Bazi Chart could potentially elevate you to a stronger position, if you have the courage and resilience to say yes to the new opportunities.

Having used the power of consistency in July 2024, it’s now time for the Ren Water Day Master to ride a perfect wave of emotions to create growth. Within August 2024’s Bazi Chart, within this swirling vortex of emotions, are waves that the Ren Water Day Master can catch as the Ren Shen (壬申) represents your Friend sitting on Indirect Resource.
The Friend star represents movement, a gathering or swelling of movement (yes, like the swelling of wave). The Indirect Resource represents new trends or emotions. On the positive side, you can ride this wave of change to use the Three Stages to its maximum potential.
But if you catch the wave wrong, do be careful you may find yourself rowing round and round in circles. Friend sitting on Indirect Resource can be pretty hectic. And if you are paddling a canoe in circles, instead of triggering the Three Stages, we accidentally trigger the Five Ghosts. Exhausting!
AUGUST 2024 REN WATER | BUSINESS: TAP INTO THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE EMOTIONS
A Ren Water Day Master meeting a Ren Water Friend in the month is like the coming together of like-minded individuals working together to start a new movement (Three Stages). Think two rivers merging to create a bigger river. Or many waves coming together to create a tsunami. And the flip side of the picture, many waves coming together to create a whirlpool (Five Ghosts).
This means that in August 2024’s Ren Shen month, you have the potential to meet like-minded individuals who believe in your cause and are willing to work together with you to create growth together.
Alternatively, you could also use the month’s energy tap into the psychology of emotions by using emotion-driven campaigns that resonate, linger and build emotional connections between your audience with your product or service. A good way to use your Indirect Resource is to spend some time researching into the current market sentiments and understanding the core psychology behind the emotions. An even better way to use your Friend over Indirect Resource month is to position your brand as a friend or companion to your target audience.
AUGUST 2024 REN WATER | CAREER AND PERSONAL: A FRIEND IN NEED?
Let’s return to those endless waves of emotions swirling about in the August 2024 Chart. From a career and personal perspective, the Ren Water Day Master may experience an upswell of disgruntled complaints and feelings of dissatisfaction among your colleagues, friends, or family.
Of course, let’s be a good friend in need to lend a sympathetic ear. But do be careful not to over-do it. Else, you risk getting drawn into the drama unnecessarily as well. In fact, it would be advisable to be highly aware of the type of people (and emotions) you are choosing to submerge yourself in.

July 2024’s Xin Wei gave the Xin Metal Day Master a chance at self-reflection. Following that self-reflection exercise, August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) provides the opening for you to exploit your new discovery by creating some niche and differentiation.
What differentiates you? What sets you apart? Do you know your unique selling point? With the support of the Three Stages auxiliary star in the Monkey branch, this is a good window to pull in attention to your differentiation point.
However, because the Monkey also contains the Five Ghosts and Back Poking, your Hurting Officer sitting on Rob Wealth puts the Xin Metal at risk of feeling sensitive to every perceived slight, gossip, scandal and rumour.
To explain, the Hurting Officer represents our need for attention. The Rob Wealth represents our innate human instinct to compare. Both coming together increases our desire to win, to be the number one, to be liked. Yes, the Hurting Officer wants ‘likes’.
But within this scenario, there is opportunity for personal growth, as follows…
AUGUST 2024 XIN METAL | CAREER AND PERSONAL: OVERCOME FEAR OF JUDGEMENT
Fear of judgement is a normal human condition. It’s the invisible spotlight we all carry within us, a magnified self-awareness. But in some of us, this normative fear of judgement is magnified many times above normal. In some, fear of judgement prompts us to hesitate or perhaps even over-prepare. In others, extreme fear of judgement paralyses to the point of stagnation and social anxiety disorder.
Whether it is normal or heightened within us, overcoming this fear of judgement, or at least reducing this hyper-awareness, can go a long way to make life happier.
Conscious use of August 2024’s Ren Shen month can help you create some form of breakthrough to overcome your innate fear of judgement. Why August 2024 in particular? Hurting Officer wants attention. Rob Wealth is the judgement of many. Coming together with the Five Ghosts and Back Poking, a single raised eyebrow can lead you into a barrage of self-recriminations. But this sets the ‘mise en scene’ for exactly the chance to train your brain to overcome this fear of judgement.
It’s a matter of setting practical goals versus projection goals. It’s about taking small practical steps with a goal of achieving a personal breakthrough. It could be as simple as a relatively vulnerable social media post sharing your key learnings from 2024 so far. The objective is not to garner ‘likes’. Please don’t get into the dumps when there are only two likes. The objective is to teach your brain that you will not literally ‘die’ in the face of judgement. It’s also about internalizing the realization that most people are so caught up with their own inner world, that nobody is watching and judging you all the time.
AUGUST 2024 XIN METAL | BUSINESS: FOCUSED CONTENT MARKETING
From a business vantage point, Hurting Officer sitting on Rob Wealth, and producing Direct Wealth creates a scenario that supports focused and niche content marketing. After all, in July 2024, you had done the inner work necessary to align the voice of your business to that of your values as a business owner.
Supported by this new and enhanced voice, now is the time to anchor yourself into your niche by creating a series of focused and targeted content marketing that will resonate with your audience and followers.
Perhaps, a simple exercise in keyword research? What type of keywords resonate with both your brand value and your audience? What are they likely to search?
Gaining insights from Bazi, there are already five generic groups of behaviour that you can target. Feel free to mix and match between two groups (but not too much):
Companion Structures – individualism vs collectivism

Of the 10 Day Masters, the Geng Metal is likely to be the most indifferent to the effects of the auxiliary stars in the Monkey. From the vantage point of the Geng Metal Day Master, August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) sees your Eating God sitting on Friend star and supported by Indirect Resource.
Eating God sitting on (or being produced by) the Friend star always indicates potential nobleman luck. With this support comes the chance to increase your value.
But why did I say that the Geng Metal Day Master is likely to be aloof to the effects of the auxiliary stars in the Monkey? Because Eating God represents intelligence, while the Friend star represents self-confidence. Coupled together, there is a high chance that you will find yourself more willing to march to the beat of your own drums.
However, are there any possibilities of a negative blowback? Just be careful of stress eating.
AUGUST 2024 GENG METAL | BUSINESS: SELL THE LIFESTYLE
Both the Eating God and Friend star represent lifestyle. Like the property developer that puts up wholesome pictures of happy families in their sales brochures, August 2024’s Ren Shen month is giving the Geng Metal Day Master a chance to sell the lifestyle related to your product or service.
If you had used July’s energy to study your competitors, you would have found gaps in your competitors’ strategies to exploit. Differentiations between the your product or service positioning can be further amplified by using lifestyle as a storytelling vehicle.
AUGUST 2024 GENG METAL | CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: DEBUT YOUR SPECIAL SKILL
All of us has a special skill. Something that we are particularly good at. For some, it could be a very specialized skill, for others, it may be fairly common but still high value. A simple example would be the ability to produce good food. There are plenty of good cooks in this world, billions in fact, but still food videos are the most popular on YouTube.
But that’s just an example. What I’m getting at is that August 2024’s Ren Shen month is bringing you the confidence (Friend star) to reveal your creativity and special skill (Eating God) to the world. The best outcome, of course, would be if you manage to even monetize that skill.
Back to the example of our billions of good cooks. A career professional with a penchant for baking might have a lucrative side business accepting orders from colleagues and friends.
So with the support of your Friend star, it’s really now time to debut that special skill of yours.
But if the above does not appeal… then start making lunch or dinner appointments with friends and professional contacts. Share meals together, maybe even indulge in a little gossip, but build that relationship by leveraging on the law of reciprocity.

For the Ji Earth Day Masters, the energies of August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) month offers a simple choice – are you going to be part of the solution, or part of the problem?
If you had been mindful of the impact of your contribution in July 2024, logically, productivity would be on the uptick in August.
On the positive spectrum, if you have decided to be a part of the solution, then the Three Stages available in the Monkey, is waiting to support you.
But, on the other hand, if you have decided to be a part of the problem, then there is a high possibility of triggering the Five Ghost and Back Poking.
AUGUST 2024 JI EARTH | BUSINESS: INCREASE TRANSACTIONS
This would be a good time to focus your marketing efforts to create innovative new ways for your existing clientele or followers to interact with you. Because August 2024 sees your Output star producing your Direct Wealth. The Direct Wealth represents actual transactions or sales. Therefore, any initiative to encourage repeat business would fit. The goal is to build on your existing customer base and deepen your relationship with them.
Let’s take a simple example. Let’s say you’ve got an online store on Shopee. An example of this idea would be to create a special promotion ticket to encourage repeat purchases.
Alternatively, you could also use the month’s energy to get down to the brass tacks and address customers complaints and reviews (Five Ghosts and Back Poking).
AUGUST 2024 JI EARTH | CAREER AND PERSONAL: LET’S BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
From a career and personal perspective, August 2024 is a time for the Ji Earth Day Master to increase your value to your organization (Direct Officer) through your ability to get things done (Direct Wealth).
Because the Direct Wealth is a productivity star, you’d probably end up with the bulk of the work anyway. Without mindful managing of the energy, August 2024 may see you doing all the work, and complaining about it to all and sundry.
A positive (albeit harder) use of the energy would be to use your Rob Wealth leadership support. Create an enthusiastic and high energy environment around you. Complement that by using your Hurting Officer to motivate, and your Direct Wealth to delegate. In short, increase productivity within your organization or home, and thereby increasing your reputation as a valued contributor.

In July, one of the recommendations for the Wu Earth Day Master was to find a platform that can help amplify your reach or your voice. Because in August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) month, the Wu Earth Day Master is literally the bulwark against the storm of emotions.
Of the 10 Day Masters, the Wu Earth is the best positioned to capitalize on the whirlpool of emotions displayed in the August 2024 Bazi Chart. One of the Auxiliary Stars in the Monkey is the Five Ghosts, which is literally fear, suspicions, and emotions. Because the Ren Shen represents the Indirect Wealth sitting on Eating God for the Wu Earth Day Master, you are in the position to spot the opportunities hidden beneath the waves of emotions.
On the positive spectrum, if this Indirect Wealth is favourable to you, this will augment your ability to close deals and take advantage of short-term resources or opportunities to realize profits and gains.
But where there are gains, there will be risks. So what could be the risks in a month when your Output (Eating God) produces your Wealth star (Indirect Wealth)? For one, this formation, when uncontrolled, can be quite impulsive. Adding this within the context of your 7 Killings year, this induces an extravagant devil-may-care attitude that lacks the attention-span for details, and a tendency to go for short-cuts.
AUGUST 2024 WU EARTH | BUSINESS: CREATE URGENCY
If you had taken advantage of July 2024’s energy to piggyback on a larger platform, your enhanced reach can now potentially attract new resources your way. This need not be confined to mere investors or dollars and cents. It could be resources in the form of contacts, knowledge, guidance or any form of resource that can enhance your existing business. Supported by your Friend star, August would be a great month to ink the deal on any potential partnerships or collaborations.
A note of caution here: because the Monkey also has a number of compliance or legal-related stars. Make sure to double check any documentations before you put in your John Hancock, please.
Additionally, still from a business perspective, this particular configuration is also supportive of short-term sales that takes advantage of the market’s fear of missing out. An example would be stock clearance sales to move old inventory and generate quick cash.
AUGUST 2024 WU EARTH | CAREER AND PERSONAL: PUT ON THE ENTREPRENEUR HAT
The Indirect Wealth also governs stock market (or crypto market) opportunities. If you are already a trader, you would be looking at stock charts as a matter of course. But August 2024’s energy magnifies your entrepreneurial instincts. With that, investing some time on researching potential new investments or trades, would be a good use of the month’s energies.
If, on the other hand, you are not yet an investor or trader but you have been curious about this new ‘dream job’ of Period 9, why not use August to do some research?
But what if you are not looking at all to invest or trade because too much capitalism makes your teeth hurt, then simply dedicate some time to strategizing and planning. This can be either in a personal capacity (i.e: strategizing and planning for the final quarter of 2024), or contributing your strategy and planning abilities to your organization. If nothing else, this will pave the path to make your upcoming Direct Wealth month easier in September.
