Last month, Bing Fire Day Masters were advised to get organized and focus on refining business or career processes. The time and effort spent putting your house in order was necessary, because the October 2024 Bazi Chart presents you with an exciting opportunity to expand and broaden your horizons. Now is the time to step out of your comfort zone, explore new territories, and embrace growth in both skills and experiences.
On the positive side, the Jia Xu combination encourages you to pick up new, complementary skills that can enhance your current expertise. This month’s energy brings the Indirect Resource star sitting on Eating God, which particularly supports creative and intellectual pursuits, including writing. If you’ve been considering learning copywriting or improving your communication skills, this is an excellent time to dive in. These skills could significantly enhance your ability to express your ideas and market yourself or your business.
However, there’s a caveat. The Indirect Resource star, while a powerhouse of imagination and creativity, can also lead to distraction. Its influence might tempt you to drift into daydreams or unproductive thought patterns. To fully capitalize on the opportunities this month presents, it’s important to stay grounded and disciplined. Balance imagination with action.
OCTOBER 2024 BING FIRE | BUSINESS, CAREER, AND PERSONAL: BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS
October is your Indirect Resource month, which means Bing Fire Day Masters are ideally positioned to take advantage of the Heavenly Horse star found in the Dog branch. This traveling wealth star signifies that movement—whether it’s physical travel, exploring new markets, or learning new skills—can lead to significant financial gains. Don’t be afraid to step outside your usual sphere of influence. Whether it’s networking with a different set of peers, attending an industry event, or exploring new opportunities abroad, movement is the key to unlocking wealth this month.
If you’re in business, this is the time to broaden your knowledge by learning how others in your field run their operations. Instead of reinventing the wheel, take a step back and observe the strategies and processes used by successful competitors or peers. The combination of Indirect Resource and Eating God allows you to absorb these insights and adapt them creatively to your own business. Whether it’s through traveling, networking, or attending industry events, you’ll gain valuable perspectives that can help you refine your approach. This month’s energy encourages you to leverage what others are doing successfully and find ways to enhance your own operations.
In your career or personal development, October is the perfect month to broaden your skill set. Consider taking up a course that pushes you beyond your comfort zone, especially in areas like writing, marketing, or communication. If you’ve been contemplating a side project or creative pursuit, this month’s energy is conducive to bringing those ideas to life.
Don’t mind a suggestion? Spend the month mastering AI prompts!
EXAMPLE: THE FREELANCER’S APPROACH
Consider the case of a freelancer who is a Bing Fire Day Master. In September, they might have focused on streamlining their business processes, optimizing client management, or refining their workflow. Now, in October, they are encouraged to think bigger. Perhaps they decide to learn copywriting to better market their services or take up digital marketing to reach a wider audience. They might also consider expanding their client base internationally, using the Heavenly Horse star’s energy to explore global opportunities.
This approach allows them to tap into the creative and expansive energy of Indirect Resource while ensuring that their growth is strategic and deliberate. By leveraging movement and skill acquisition, they position themselves for long-term success.
THE DOWNSIDE: AVOIDING DISTRACTION
While the opportunities are abundant, the Indirect Resource star can lead to getting lost in daydreams or excessive brainstorming. Think of Indirect Resource as a curious cat—it’s always on the hunt for new and interesting ideas. However, this curiosity can easily pull you into a fascinating rabbit hole of information, where you may find yourself wandering aimlessly, unable to resurface. It’s important to stay mindful of this tendency and set boundaries for your exploration, ensuring that your curiosity leads to productive action rather than endless detours.
Bing Fire, with its innate passion and energy, can sometimes get caught up in the excitement of new ideas. To avoid this, it’s essential to stay focused on your goals. Set clear intentions for the month and regularly check in with yourself to ensure you’re taking actionable steps toward your objectives.
CONCLUSION: BROADEN AND MOVE
For Bing Fire Day Masters, October is a month of expansion and movement. Whether it’s gaining new skills, traveling, or exploring uncharted territories in your business, the energy is on your side. However, stay mindful of the fine line between imagination and distraction—use your creativity with purpose. By broadening your horizons and taking advantage of the opportunities for movement, you’ll position yourself for a month of growth and exciting possibilities.

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.

Power up, Bing Fire Day Masters, your 7 Killings month arrives. After spending a month polishing your work in July, it’s now time to unleash it on to the world. From the perspective of the Bing Fire Day Master, the August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) month sees your 7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth and supported by your Eating God.
When two aggressive and expansive energies come together, should you take action, the impact will be there. But as always in the principles of the Yin and Yang, where there is the potential for strong positive impact, there will also be risks of a negative impact.
FIRST THE BAD NEWS…
So let’s get the bad news out of the way first, shall we? 7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth can spell a potential hit to your reputation. In other words, with the Three Stages, instead of becoming famous, you accidentally became ‘infamous’. This risk is magnified by the fact that 2024 is an Indirect Resource year for the Bing Fire Day Masters. When your 7 Killings (month) produces your Indirect Resource (2024), it does magnetize gossip, haters and petty people. In other words, there is a risk to become a victim of envy.
There is also a possibility of running into financial difficulties. This risk can be easily managed because the financial difficulties spelled out there are frequently caused by greed and poor impulse control. To explain: within the context of the Ren Shen, your Indirect Wealth (representing profits and gains) is producing the 7 Killings (representing challenges and problems). This could mean that potentially your investments are running into problems and you either need to fix your strategy or know when to cut your losses. For some business owners, this could also warn of problems caused by your new side business.
… NOW THE GOOD NEWS
Conservative and risk-averse Bazi interpretations would typically advice to lay low for a month. But such a waste of a month where you could potentially make a big impact. Because on the positive spectrum, the Indirect Wealth can also represent vision, while the 7 Killings represent courage. If nothing else, you can use this power to inspire others to take action, to create infectious enthusiasm and gain recognition through your ability to infuse others with the courage to make the necessary changes to their lives.
A caution though, while you are going full steam ahead, do keep an eye on compliance-related issues. Based on this combination, the Bing Fire Day Master does run a high risk of triggering compliance issues.
AUGUST 2024 BING FIRE | BUSINESS: OUTSOURCE PROBLEM-SOLVING
7 Killings on the Heavenly Stem, being produced by Indirect Wealth in the branches is literally called “throwing money at problems.” In other words, outsource problem-solving. Let someone better equipped handle the obstacles for you while you focus on what truly matters.
AUGUST 2024 BING FIRE | BUSINESS: LAUNCH SOMETHING CUTTING-EDGE AND INNOVATIVE
7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth is expansive, aggressive and propulsive. We can’t avoid the fact that the Monkey branch in 2024 carries the Three Stages, Five Ghost and Back Poking. A positive use of these energy (albeit potentially negative) would be to do something that gets the market talking. So if you are ready, August 2024 would be the month to launch something cutting-edge and innovative.
Note: If you are not ready to launch anything, please don’t feel pressured to do so. There are other uses for this energy.
AUGUST 2024 BING FIRE | CAREER: LEAD A NEW PROJECT
For career professionals, August 2024 would be a good month to use the courage of your 7 Killings to take on a new project, to tackle the hard problems, to empower and lead others onto a new path.
AUGUST 2024 BING FIRE | PERSONAL: GET PHYSICALLY STRONGER
Make it your mission to get physically stronger in August 2024. Dust off that investment in a gym membership and milk it for all it’s worth.

For all Bing Fire Day Masters, your Direct Wealth is the Xin Metal. Of the 10 stems, the Xin Metal is the most ‘valuable’ or precious. Which means that for the Bing Fire Day Master, your contribution must always be highly valued. In July 2024’s Bazi Chart, you have been given the chance to do exactly that.
BUSINESS: HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS
From the loss leader strategy in June 2024, you would have broadened the reach of your product or service. Now that you’ve got their attention, it’s time to help them make informed decisions (in your favour, of course!)
Direct Resource: Data-driven marketing to back up your claims.
Rob Wealth: Comparison marketing, comparing your solution against the generic norm.
Hurting Officer: Analyze and understand your customer behaviour.
Direct Wealth: Quantify your impact.
To give a generic example, this would be like a detergent claiming to ‘clean 25% better’.
CAREER: POLISH YOUR WORK
Remember how I said that the Bing Fire’s Direct Wealth is the valuable Xin Metal? Xin Metal has to be polished. It needs to shine. Therefore, in July 2024, here’s a chance to put some focus on polishing your work.
Bing Fire Day Masters are absolutely going to hate me for this! Most Bing Fires are big-picture thinkers. Details are so beneath us! But in a month where you get the chance to make your work even more valuable, getting into the nitty-gritty will be necessary.
Direct Resource: Get into the small details. Check for small errors and typos that may ‘mar’ the perfection of your work.
Rob Wealth: Seek constructive feedback to improve.
Hurting Officer: Improve on the design, cohesion, and presentation of your work.
Direct Wealth: Set benchmarks, targets, KPIs to quantify the impact of your work.
PERSONAL: CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT
Bing Fire Day Masters will combine with your Xin Metal Direct Wealth to create Water. In July 2024, there may be some itch to spend some money. Again, OK to reward yourself. But to make good use of this month, you could also spend some time on the cash flow management as well.

For the Bing Fire Day Masters, the energy of June 2024 is all about leveraging your existing power or influence to achieve a specific goal or outcome. It is certainly not a month to hibernate in the office doing the same-old same-old.
BUSINESS: LAUNCH YOUR LOSS LEADER
Let’s first get the bad news out of the way. From a traditional perspective, Indirect Wealth sitting on Rob Wealth can bring the possibilities of wealth loss. OK?
Now let’s flip this energy. Basically, Indirect Wealth being countered by Rob Wealth is talking about giving first, earning later. In other words, a loss leader.
Look from that perspective and suddenly, a myriad of ways start popping up to leverage on that same energy. See how things shift when we stop thinking scarcity?
Obviously, June 2024’s energy is supportive of launching a loss leader aimed at customer acquisition and brand loyalty. For example, printers are cheap, refills are expensive. The printers are the loss leaders. However, note that to benefit from this strategy, you must be ready to cross-sell or upsell. But the first aim is to increase your customer base.
Other ways businesses can use this energy? It’s a good month to launch an email marketing campaign or even a free newsletter. Again, we want to give value first in order to build up that follower base or engagement.
A third way to use this energy. Leverage on your existing followers, enhance their loyalty by leading a worthy or charitable cause. This could be donations, or it could even be call to actions, user-generated contents based on a specific objective, the list is virtually endless.
Another idea – run social media contests as part of your marketing campaign.
Somebody stop me, please, lol! Whatever campaign you choose – all we need to do is focus on two key criteria – leverage and followers.
CAREER: CREATE/LEAD A RAPID PIONEERING TEAM
Create, lead or transform your existing team into a rapid pioneering team within your organization. A team that is great at problem-solving, innovative, creative, efficient, adaptable, lean, and optimizes resource utilization.
Obviously, this is a big task. Impossible to complete within a month! But you could start the process. First, the vision of the team must be there before you can even start to take concrete steps like recruiting your human assets, training, exposure, prototyping, experimentation and all that. There will be many steps ahead, but the first must begin always by communicating the idea. Your team must buy in to the idea before you can even think about implementing.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: SELF-MOTIVATION
Your ability to self-motivate may be put to the test in June 2024. When your Indirect Resource is under attack from the Indirect Wealth, it could cause a measure of inertia. Which is why the suggested ideas in the business and career sections are so aggressive. Bing Fire Day Masters may need to follow a big vision to find the willpower to cut a new path through the forest.

As we go about our daily lives, we tend to present a certain side of ourselves to the world – our professional persona, our social self, the version of us we think others expect. Some call it a mask. We all wear it. But is it really a mask? What about the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden, the layers waiting to be revealed? Is there a softer, gentler side? Or a stronger, steelier part of you that you keep hidden?
In May 2024, as your Hurting Officer month surfaces to meet and combine with your Indirect Resource year, it’s an opportunity to do or try something different.
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR PERSONAL GROWTH
In terms of personal happiness and growth, May 2024 is the opportunity for the Bing Fire Day Master to reveal some of the other facets of your personality. In doing so, not only will you help others understand you better, but at the same time, gain a deeper insight into your own personality as well.
May 2024 is giving you a chance to express yourself more fully, instead of conforming to a single, rigid, and limiting identity. This can feel vulnerable, but in allowing others to see us in a more complete light, we stand a chance of fostering deeper connections and understanding.
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR BUSINESS
From a business perspective, here is your chance to incorporate the latest trends into a new marketing and advertising campaign. You could also use the month’s energy to try out a new marketing platform or a new avenue to communicate with your audience.
In short, May is a good month to test new communication methods, launch a new sales funnel to generate new leads. The key to note is to combine trends and patterns into a month-long strategy that will surprise the market.
PRIORITIZE CLOSING SALES FOR CAREER
For the career professionals, May is a good month to prioritize closing sales and negotiations. If you are in the position to do so, the idea of launching a new sales funnel could also be applicable to you.

For the Bing Fire Day Master, the 2024 Jia Chen makes this your Indirect Resource year, while April 2024’s Wu Chen represents your Eating God. Both the Indirect Resource and Eating God stars are connected to creativity. So when your Indirect Resource meets the Eating God on the Heavenly Stems, setting time aside to focus on unleashing your creative juices would be a great use of the month’s energy.
Creativity is a powerful force that resides within each of us, waiting to be unleashed and expressed in myriad ways. Whether you’re an artist, a writer, an entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to infuse more creativity into your life, tapping into your creative potential can lead to personal growth, innovation, and a deeper sense of fulfilment.
Create a Creative Environment (Direct Officer)
Your environment plays a significant role in fostering creativity. Create a space that inspires you, whether it’s a dedicated art studio, a cozy corner with a comfortable chair and good lighting, or a digital workspace with the tools you need. Surround yourself with things that fuel your creativity, such as books, art supplies, or inspirational quotes, and let your muses talk.
Embrace Curiosity and Open-Mindedness (Direct Resource)
Creativity thrives in an environment of curiosity and open-mindedness. Be willing to explore new ideas, perspectives, and experiences. Ask questions, challenge assumptions, and approach the world with a sense of wonder. By nurturing your curiosity, you’ll open yourself up to new possibilities and inspire your creative thinking.
Cultivate a Creative Mindset (Eating God)
Developing a creative mindset is essential for unleashing your creativity. This involves being open to experimentation, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and being willing to take risks. Let go of perfectionism and judgment, and allow yourself the freedom to explore and create without constraints. In other words, feel free to go hog-wild! It’s often said in Bazi that with the Eating God in a Bazi chart, the Chart Owner will never go hungry. Because the Eating God represents the ability to create. Which means that the Chart Owner possesses the innate ability to create something new to help them reach their goals, whatever it may be. Supported by this ability, it’s more likely for the person to feel more optimistic about the future.

After the excitement and frenetic burst of activity during Chinese New Year, March 2024’s Ding Mao (丁卯) month arrives to remind us it’s time to get back to the grind. Yup, the tedium of our daily routines and the daily humdrum of life.
AUXILIARY STARS UP FOR GRABS
With the Rabbit month comes the following Auxiliary Stars:
MARCH 2024 BAZI CHART
Let’s delve into the month’s energy with a glance at the Bazi Chart for March 2024.
At first glance, this is a very dry chart, with a self-punishment between the two Dragons and a harm with the Rabbit month. Self-punishments typically denote self-created problems while the Harm relationship in a Bazi hints at unrealistic or unmet expectations. In other words, complaints. If you happen to be in the service industry, managing expectations should be one of your top priorities in March 2024, regardless of what animal signs are in your own Bazi Chart.
This chart engenders that feeling of learned helplessness. When people feel they have no control over their situation, they may begin to behave in a helpless manner. This inaction can lead people to overlook opportunities for relief or change.
Learned helplessness is characterized by lasting symptoms such as:
Avoiding decisions (or waiting for instructions) – as characterized by the Influence Structure of the Chart
Giving up quickly – due to the lack of Metal in the Chart
Inability to tolerate frustration – as evidenced by the Dragon-Dragon self punishment
Lack of effort – a weak Day Master with a weak Wealth element
Low motivation and poor self esteem – Companion element in self-punishment between the two Dragons hinting at deeply rooted insecurities.
Passive behavior – overly strong Wood resulting in an extreme fear of change or an extreme need for control
Procrastination – the Wu Earth speciality
Refusing to try – the Heavenly Stem sees the Jia Wood producing Ding Fire which then produces the Wu Earth Day Master which is sandwiched between two Ding Fire resource stars in the Month and the Hour. This combination typically creates an expectation of being coddled. Like a baby bird sitting in its nest with its mouth wide open, waiting for mommy bird to feed it with worms.
If this were a real person, any Bazi consult worth its salt would focus on helping the Chart owner dismantle this learned behaviour or learned helplessness. But before we go there, let’s have a look at which animal signs will be most susceptible to this Chart.
ANIMAL SIGNS AFFECTED BY THE DING MAO
The Dog
A clash to the Annual Pillar and a combination to the Month Pillar could signify opportunities to gain career or business opportunities, but only if you have succeeded in changing your network or personal branding.
The Goat and/or The Pig
If you have the Goat or the Pig in your Chart, try to avoid getting accidentally drawn into other people’s drama. Unless, of course, helping people sort out the drama in their lives is how you earn a living. Then the March 2024 could be a great month. For example, if you are a life coach, you may find yourself bringing in clients with a lot of drama in their lives.
The Rooster
A combination to the Annual Pillar and a clash to the Month Pillar may signal an opportunity to change your career or business strategy due to opportunities coming in from the external.
The Rat
Focus on enacting (and enforcing) boundaries before other people’s drama becomes your own. Don’t make other people’s problems your own.
The Dragon
Work on letting go of the need for control or anger that may be fuelling you in a negative way.
The Horse
This is the best month to break a habit. Perhaps, that habit of learned helplessness?
WU EARTH DAY MASTER: DIRECT RESOURCE ON DIRECT OFFICER
In a simplified manner, Direct Officer producing Direct Resource enhances one’s reputation and social standing. Which means that March 2024 is a good month for the Wu Earth Day Master to enhance your reputation for being accountable, dependable and reliable.
Want to take this to a bigger scale? Visually, in the hands of the Wu Earth Day Master, the Ding Mao is seen as a beacon fire high on top of a mountain. Referring to the March 2024 month chart, how about using the Ding Mao’s energy to illuminate the path for others to break away from learned helplessness?
The Wu Earth, tall, strong and ever-reliable, is always the best Day Master when it comes to offering practical and supportive guidance. You could also use your authority and reputation to offer different perspectives in a given situation or impasse.
Because, 2024 is also your 7 Killings year, a good way to use the energy from March 2024 is to shore up your reputation by getting accredited or certified.
JI EARTH DAY MASTER: INDIRECT RESOURCE ON 7 KILLINGS
From a classical Bazi point of view, this is not considered a good formation. But in the spirit of the Yin-and-Yang, where there is bad, there must be good, isn’t it?
So let’s get the bad news out of the way. 7 Killings producing Indirect Resource is not great because it indicates the tendency to cause a myriad of petty problems and issues due to either sheer carelessness or recklessness. Alternatively, this could mean that you may find a preponderance of instances where you find that you have to take on other people’s problems.
But from a positive perspective, the 7 Killings can represent courage, while the Indirect Resource portrays your inner light. Put the two together, and here is an opportunity to seize that courage to confront your fears and try something new.
When the Ji Earth Day Master meets the Ding Mao, the picture that comes to mind is the old fashioned slash-and-burn agricultural technique. Let me quickly add that I’m not advocating open-burning here! Just using it as an example!
But like how burning vegetation can turn it into nutrient-rich ash that benefits the soil, here is a one-month opportunity to face down your fears, transform problems into lessons, and grow stronger as a result. In that sense, for the Ji Earth Day Master, March 2024’s Ding Mao month can represent a month of mental breakthrough. However, because this level of burning can create a lot of smoke, some cleansing tears might be expected if you go this route.
GENG METAL DAY MASTER: DIRECT OFFICER ON DIRECT WEALTH
March 2024’s Ding Mao month represents a time of execution for the Geng Metal Day Master. With your Direct Officer sitting on Direct Wealth, the discipline you invest will pay dividends in progress.
Visually, this is likened to the process of sword-smithing. A sword being forged on the anvils of willpower, tempered by the flames of adversity, and strengthened with the hammer of consistency.
March 2024’s Ding Mao energy is timely, as the Geng Metal Day Master is standing at the start of your Indirect Wealth year (the Jia Chen sees your Indirect Wealth sitting on Indirect Resource). The self-discipline you enforce in March 2024 will give you a head start to making the most of the opportunities that your Indirect Wealth year will bring.
XIN METAL DAY MASTER: 7 KILLINGS ON INDIRECT WEALTH
For the Xin Metal Day Master, with March 2024’s Ding Mao comes two propulsive energies – your 7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth.
With the 7 Killings comes courage, while the Indirect Wealth brings opportunities. These two expansive energies together are all about making a big impact. Like a fiery arrow arcing through the sky, it’s time to launch and go for the bullseye.
The negative part of this formation is that it encourages a tendency to speculate or impulsive decisions. Keep an eye on this effect if you are making big decisions this month.
But 7 Killings is all about expansion. While the Indirect Wealth is about leverage. Put together, March 2024 is a great month for the Xin Metal Day Master to launch that first campaign to kick off your 2024 Direct Wealth year.
REN WATER DAY MASTER: DIRECT WEALTH ON HURTING OFFICER
For the Ren Water Day Master, when your Hurting Officer produces your Direct Wealth, this is the time to celebrate and show off your achievements and accomplishments. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you should suddenly turn into an annoying braggart! But many of us don’t do enough to claim credit for our contributions! This is especially true in the Asian culture where humility and self-deprecation is the norm.
However, to progress our careers or business, some form of self-promotion is always required. Done tastefully, it does not have to be ‘fake’ or ‘forced’. Celebrating our own personal milestones (no matter how insignificant it may seem in the larger scheme of things), is very important to keep us feeling motivated and hopeful.
But if you are really resistant to that strategy, at least pick a day to focus on documenting your contributions and achievements. Exceeded your sales target? Write it down! Helped solve a problem? Put it in writing!
GUI WATER DAY MASTER: INDIRECT WEALTH ON EATING GOD
For the Gui Water Day Master, March 2024 represents your Eating God producing Indirect Wealth (yes, the coveted Eating God producing Wealth formation).
If you have something you would like to see, March 2024 is the time to do it. This is the best month to convince people of your vision for the future. Supported by your Hurting Officer year, here’s your chance to use your Gui Water innate charm and soft communication style to get others to buy into your ideas by combining creativity with financial acumen. Embrace this alignment and share your vision confidently!
Be it for career, business, or even inter-personal relationships, March 2024 represents an opportunity to get others aligned to your goals and mission.
JIA WOOD DAY MASTER: HURTING OFFICER ON ROB WEALTH
For the Jia Wood Day Master, March 2024 sees your Rob Wealth producing your Hurting Officer. At the surface level, this could cause some small potential loss of money. The cause? The Hurting Officer energy is all about performance, so there’s an element of ‘showing off’ going on here. Put the two together, and the end result is some small expenses going out because of the desire to ‘show off’.
But then again, what’s wrong with a little bit of crowing? Like seriously! If you are in the financial position to do so, why not?
However, is there a positive use of the March 2024’s energy? There are two possible uses or micro strategies available.
The first is to engage in some short-term community-driven marketing where you incentivize your community to sell for you. Think: special rebates, discounts, referral programmes, etc.
The second plausible strategy, if you have the Dog, Goat or Pig in your Bazi Chart, you could also possibly consider a short-termed joint marketing campaign with others in your industry. Perhaps even look for opportunities where you get to be a guest speaker on other people’s platforms.
Don’t like either one of the above strategies? Then use March 2024 to study your competitor’s marketing tactics and learn from them.
YI WOOD DAY MASTER: EATING GOD ON FRIEND STAR
For the Yi Wood Day Master, the advent of March 2024 is like a field of grass catching fire! Whoosh! The initial spark catches on quick, and spreads across the entire field like an inferno. In other words, if you use the energy well, your ideas will quickly gain traction and rapid adoption.
Therefore, if you have always had problems with other people accepting your ideas, March is the month to put them on the table. If you have been looking for a chance to sway a group of people, this is it!
Use this to either foster a positive working culture in your organization, foster collaboration and synergy, or even take that first brave step to start creating an online community around yourself, your products or your services.

BING FIRE DAY MASTER: ROB WEALTH ON DIRECT RESOURCE
For the Bing Fire Day Master, keeping an eye on your budget is a must when your Rob Wealth arrives on the Heavenly Stem. With the Direct Resource producing your Rob Wealth, there is a potential where you need to use your existing resources to create growth for the future. If you are using this to invest, then it’s great! But if it’s spending on expenses instead of investment, perhaps not so great.
Is there a good way to use the month’s Rob Wealth energy? This idea may not be applicable for all industries, but a mini train-the-trainer campaign could be helpful to expand your community, tribe or followers. Which means, that we can use training to create our own spokespersons who will then spread the word for us.
From a career perspective, this is also a good month to train your staff or your team. Basically, to update or upgrade their knowledge.
DING FIRE DAY MASTER: FRIEND ON INDIRECT RESOURCE
The suggested strategies for the first nine Day Masters have been external-focused. Not so for the Ding Fire Day Master. To explain, I need to refer to the energies of 2023 – the year of the Water Rabbit (Gui Mao). Water raining on the Ding Fire may result in a dampening of your passions. Somehow, in 2023, vitality was perhaps, a little lacking.
The passion and fire sparks again in March 2024. With the coming of the Wood energy in the Rabbit, the fire blooms anew, and it’s time to turn inwards to appreciate your own uniqueness, individuality and authenticity. It’s a time to celebrate, appreciate, and embrace your (many) quirks, talents and idiosyncrasies. And as you do, allow yourself to feel more vital and energized for the year ahead.

What would a Bing Fire Day Master see in the Jia Chen (甲辰) year that is 2024? What type of picture will form? Given that this is going to be your Indirect Resource year, the keywords for the Bing Fire in 2024 are inter-connectedness and big picture thinking.
INDIRECT RESOURCE YEAR: INTER-CONNECTEDNESS
If you have been following this entire series, you will notice that the pictures presented are merely variations of the same theme. The Jia Chen is a tree standing on a lush green mountain. But from the perspective of each of the 10 Day Masters, the picture changes. That’s the beauty of Bazi.
From the Bing Fire Day Master’s birds-eye view, there is a certain big picture inter-connectedness that forms. You see this tree and how it co-relates with the mountains, the water in the distance, the clouds, the other plants.
How then, can we transform this keyword of inter-connectedness into possible strategies?
THE EXPERIENTIAL EFFECT
Firstly, Indirect Resource is experiential in nature. Therefore, the Bing Fire Day Master’s focus in 2024 could be to enhance the experience of your product or service. In essence, more priority on user experience as opposed to user interface.
Indirect Resource also governs the act of research, specifically, pointing towards the more intangible research. For example, This could be a certain form of market knowledge that is unique to you due to your years of experience. In the social media world, this could also be trends. Therefore, another way for the Bing Fire to succeed in 2024 is to capitalize on trends.
With Indirect Resource sitting on Eating God, Direct Officer and Direct Resource, another possible strategy that presents itself is the opportunity to bridge the information gap. I won’t belabour this point because I think this is something that everyone is familiar with.
Finally, the fun part. If none of the first three works for you, this fourth strategy is bound to stoke your interest. For the Bing Fire Day Master, the 2024 Jia Chen year is a calling to step out of your routine and broaden your horizons. Travel! Experience! Learn! Live! Re-connect with the world around you!

If the month of the Ox (January) represents the last month of Winter, then there will be one element that plays the role of the Useful God. The one that kickstarts the coming transformation process. This would be the Bing Fire Day Master. In January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) month, we see your Direct Resource energy controlling your Hurting Officer. It’s time to focus on some active listening.
DIRECT RESOURCE MONTH: SELF-ESTEEM? OR JUST PLAIN EGO?
Where self-esteem is concerned, January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) month is likely to be pretty good for the Bing Fire Day Master. After all, the Bing Fire is the literal Useful God of the month. It is the element that sets the stage for the transformation to come.
The Bing Fire is the one who defrosts the Ji Earth, makes it easier for the Geng Metal to conduct their winter ploughing, and nurtures the seeds of opportunities for the Xin Metal Day Master. The Bing Fire raises the temperature, enough to set the Ren Water and Gui Water free from their state of inactivity. Finally, the Bing Fire also provides warmth for the Jia Wood and Yi Wood Day Master to revel in their first bloom. What an ego-boost! At this point, the sun would be feeling mighty pleased about itself!
Indiscriminate use of this energy may be a boost to the ego, but problems arise when you start offering unsolicited advice to all and sundry.
A MONTH FOR OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
The Bing Fire Day Master is known to be one of the most generous of the 10 Day Masters. Like the sunlight that bathes the world in its warm embrace, Bing Fire Day Masters tend to be generous with their advice – regardless if that advice is wanted or otherwise. A little like what I am doing now – writing a blog article that may be of no interest to anyone else.
But the sun doesn’t care if its sunlight is welcomed or rejected. It gives anyway. In most instances, the Bing Fire Day Masters tend to behave the same way. But in January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) energy, some additional self-awareness may be coming in.
Why is that so? And in what form does this self-awareness manifest? When Direct Resource which represents wisdom, counters or controls the Hurting Officer which represents attention, this energy can be translated as an opportunity to gain the wisdom to adapt your communication style to your audience. To seek permission before advice is tendered.
For one month, in January 2024, the Bing Fire Day Master can use this energy to practice some active listening. To stop listening to respond, and instead, put aside the ego and listen to understand.
This will be quite challenging for most Bing Fire Day Masters. We are, if nothing else, surface skimmers who tend to take things on face value. The sun covers the surface of the earth but cannot penetrate to the depths of the hidden and shadowed corners in the hearts of others.
But active listening is such a vague concept, isn’t it? So, let’s make this easier for the Bing Fire Day Master. Let’s start our month of ‘active listening’ by reminding ourselves to ask open-ended questions before we rush in with our advice and suggestions. Practice this every day, and you may find it ingrained into our programming. A new skill to complement the Bing Fire!
