2024 rooster Archives - The Hidden Sun

After a season as the Year Breaker, the Rooster’s rebuild begins in 2024 year of the Wood Dragon or Jia Chen.

2024 ROOSTER: GRAND DUKE COMBINATION, PEACH BLOSSOM, ADVISOR

2023 was the Year Breaker for you. A year of change. There wasn’t much support for you. For some Roosters, it was a particularly painful year. I’m really sorry you had to experience that and I hope that by the time you are reading this post, you have gotten back on your feet again.

2024, hands down, is a year for relationship building. Because of the Grand Duke Combination. This is wealth through partnerships, it’s the opportunity to cooperate and more importantly, leverage on other people’s resources. How to use the Grand Duke Combination? By creating new contacts and partnerships.

Supporting this Grand Duke Combination is the Peach Blossom star. Likability is about to increase! This is a given, if you want access to other people’s resources, at the very least they must like you, right? Also, good news on the romance department as this star brings romance luck as well.

There is also access to nobleman, in the form of a minor nobleman star called the Advisor. It’s a minor star, why nitpick? Let’s take it anyway.

2024 ROOSTER: CASCADING CLOUD AND FLYING BLADE

What could possibly halt this relationship building and likability? The Cascading Cloud and Flying Blade stars.

The Cascading Cloud represents resentment. Apparently, you may still be holding a grudge from the challenges of the previous year. And from this resentment and grudge, out comes the Flying Blade which represents disputes and arguments.

These two together means, ‘I’m resentful and I’m picking fights’. Which will make it hard for the Peach Blossom to work for you.

Awareness is the key here. When we become aware of something, we gain control.

2024 ROOSTER: EARTH RELIEF AND MONTHLY VIRTUE

At the same time, you also have the support of two problem-dissolving stars – Earth Relief and Monthly Virtue. Both of these stars dissipate negative energy. How can we help them along? Firstly, by being positive, and secondly by being pro-active about nipping problems in the bud instead of allowing them to fester.

2024 ROOSTER: LESSER CONSUMER, DEATH CHARM, AND SALTY POOL

What other negative stars do we need to be aware of? When you are the Year Breaker, it comes with the Great Consumer. The following year always follows with the Lesser Consumer. This is small money going out. Budgeting issues.

Budgeting issues caused by the Death Charm which represent being blindsided by unexpected events that may cost you some money, and Salty Pool which is the star of instant gratification.

If you are a business owner, you can use this bunch to do market testing or A/B testing. If you are not a business owner, be extra disciplined about your budget, and stay away from those annual sales.

2024 ROOSTER: SKY FORTUNE

Ultimately, we want to head towards the Sky Fortune which promotes a harmonious relationship with the people around you. It promotes having great relationships where you support and are supported in turn. That’s the goal for 2024. And where are we heading towards? 2025 where there is promotion luck to be had.

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.

ROOSTER IN THE YEAR PILLAR

With the Peach Blossom supporting the Grand Duke Combination, you’d better be networking and building relationships. The Year Pillar governs our industry, market, social networks, and social media. Show yourself. Tell people what you do. Talk about your talents. Don’t be shy. The stronger and more valuable your network, the better! For the Rooster, 2024 is all about building relationships. And who knows? Maybe you net yourself a mentor?

In fact, you actually have two Peach Blossom stars. Because the Sky Fortune can also create a similar effect in the sense that it promotes harmonious relationships. These two working together can help enhance your reputation. Because you are super likable. What we want is to have people in the industry or in the market talking about you.

Same goes for the romance department, with the Peach Blossom in the Year, you’d better be out there.

ROOSTER IN THE MONTH PILLAR

The theme of building relationships carries across the board, regardless of where the Rooster is in your Chart.

For the business owners, if the Rooster governs your career and business pillar, there are possibilities of gaining access or creating new partnerships where you get to leverage on the strengths of your partners. Also, with the budget-related stars, you can use the Lesser Consumer in a positive way by investing in test marketing. Or small advertising campaigns that are calculated to generate quick conversion – like one-off sale.

For career professionals, how about we use the Grand Duke Combo to align ourselves with the boss? Find out what are the company’s plans for the near future. How can we contribute? Conversations like these are important. It can be a great year if you are willing to contribute. Don’t be calculative. This is a year to go above and beyond.

Alternatively, we build great relationships with our colleagues and the people involved in our work. Some money might be spent. Lunches cost money!

ROOSTER IN THE DAY PILLAR

The Day pillar represents ourselves and our close intimate relationships.

If you are single and looking, with the Peach Blossom and Lesser Consumer together, maybe we invest some money to improve on our external packaging? Of course, only if you can afford to do so, ok? The Lesser Consumer doesn’t require you to splurge. There is romance luck, if you are looking. There’s a higher chance that the romance luck could be triggered through the match-making efforts of your close circle of friends and family.

If partnered and in a committed relationship, it’s time to inject an element of spice, zest and surprise back into your relationship. Here, I draw your attention to the Cascading Cloud. Find a way to release any resentments over any ongoing issues or arguments. Either we use the Monthly Virtue to quickly resolve any misunderstandings, or we use the Earth Relief to dissolve the lingering anger, resentment and negative emotions. Peace in the household is the goal here.

ROOSTER IN THE HOUR PILLAR

The Hour Pillar represents a whole mixed bag of stuff. This is the legacy pillar. So it covers our investments, children, staff, ideas, aspirations, dreams.

In this instance, where investment is concerned, the Earth Relief is very good for buying and selling property. So you may want to keep your eyes peeled for a sweet investment deal because there is some investment and asset accumulation luck. But again, the caution, please – just because there is some investment luck is not reason to get reckless. You still need to do your part by learning and strategizing. Eyes wide open, guys!

With the Rooster in the hour, you could also see a scenario where your ideas are finally finding traction. People are liking your ideas, and therefore, creating a possibility of working together with you.
