November’s energy invites the Geng Metal Day Master to focus on wealth-building strategies and converting recent discoveries into clear actions. The energy is ripe for strategy development, new product creation, and taking bold steps toward long-term financial growth. After all, how else to use a month when your Output produces Wealth? However, it’s essential to avoid overworking, as the drive for success can lead to burnout.
Positive Influences: Strategic Wealth Creation
Wealth-Creation Focus: This month offers strong support for activities centered around wealth creation. Whether it’s developing new strategies, launching products, or exploring new markets, your efforts are likely to yield positive results. Your natural resilience and strength make you well-suited for tackling ambitious financial goals.
Action-Oriented Planning: The energy favors turning insights and information into clear, strategic action plans. This is an ideal time to convert recent knowledge or discoveries into tangible strategies that drive growth. Your strategic mindset, combined with November’s momentum, makes this a great time to act decisively.
New Product or Service Creation: November supports creating or refining products, services, or business models that have long-term wealth potential. Focus on innovation that not only meets current demands but also aligns with future market trends.
Potential Pitfalls: Avoid Overworking
Overworking and Burnout: With a strong focus on wealth-building and strategy, there’s a risk of overworking yourself to achieve quick results. Be mindful of maintaining a balanced workload to prevent exhaustion. Remember that sustainable growth is more effective than a rapid but short-lived push.
Scattered Focus: The drive to convert information into action can sometimes lead to scattered efforts if not carefully managed. Make sure to prioritize tasks based on their impact and alignment with long-term goals, rather than trying to do everything at once.
NOVEMBER 2024 GENG METAL | BUSINESS: STRATEGIC INNOVATION FOR WEALTH
Use this month to focus on strategic initiatives that have strong potential for financial growth. Whether it’s launching a new product, exploring untapped markets, or investing in new ventures, channel your efforts into activities that build wealth sustainably.
November’s energy is also ideal for converting recent market research, customer feedback, or industry insights into actionable plans. Develop detailed strategies that not only address current needs but also anticipate future demands, positioning your business for continued success.
NOVEMBER 2024 GENG METAL | CAREER & PERSONAL: BUILD STRATEGIC PATHWAYS
Look for career opportunities that enhance your income potential, such as negotiating for a raise, seeking a promotion, or exploring new roles that offer better financial rewards. Focus on roles or projects that not only meet immediate goals but also contribute to long-term career growth.
You can also use this month to develop a clear career strategy based on recent achievements, feedback, or skill improvements. Whether it’s taking on new responsibilities, pursuing certifications, or expanding your network, make deliberate moves that align with your career vision.
However, while it’s tempting to push hard for immediate results, be cautious of overworking. Set clear boundaries for work hours, prioritize tasks that yield the highest impact, and incorporate regular breaks to maintain productivity and energy.

In September, Geng Metal Day Masters were presented with the opportunity to break free from industry norms and carve out a new niche or identity. This innovative momentum carries forward into October 2024, as your Indirect Wealth star aligns with Indirect Resource. Together, these stars fuel a perfect combination of creativity and research—Indirect Wealth represents innovation, while Indirect Resource supports research and development. This is your time to start laying the groundwork for 2025, positioning yourself ahead of the curve by investing in future-focused ideas.
OCTOBER 2024 GENG METAL | BUSINESS: INNOVATE FOR 2025
October’s energy provides Geng Metal Day Masters with a unique opportunity to begin shaping the future. If the stars align positively, this is your moment to convert profits into research and development for the next big launch. By focusing on long-term innovation, you’ll gain a competitive edge in 2025. Whether it’s developing a new product, enhancing your services, or exploring cutting-edge technologies, this month is ideal for forward-thinking investments.
However, if the influence is negative, there’s a risk of prioritizing short-term gains over meaningful innovation. Pressure from stakeholders, the lure of immediate profits, or fear of taking risks may push you to abandon your research efforts in favor of quick wins. But be warned: this short-term focus could have disastrous long-term consequences. Intel provides a perfect example of a company that, by forgoing investment in research and innovation, found itself lagging behind competitors. Avoid the temptation to sacrifice future potential for present comfort.
OCTOBER 2024 GENG METAL | CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: IMPROVE PERSONAL EFFICIENCY
On a personal level, October is the ideal time to work on improving your efficiency and effectiveness. How can you streamline your processes to get things done in the shortest time possible, without sacrificing quality? This could involve refining your daily routines, adopting new productivity tools, or even learning new skills that enhance your personal workflow.
Consider how you can maximize your output while minimizing wasted time and effort. Whether you’re managing a business, a career, or personal goals, improving efficiency will not only help you achieve more but also set you up for a more balanced and productive 2025.
CONCLUSION: INNOVATE WITH LONG-TERM VISION
For Geng Metal Day Masters, October is a month of innovation and efficiency. In business, focus on investing in research and development for the future, ensuring that your long-term vision isn’t sacrificed for short-term gains. Personally, work on improving your effectiveness by refining how you manage your time and energy. If you can balance innovation with efficiency, you’ll position yourself for success well into 2025.

September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) month represents a Hurting Officer sitting on Rob Wealth for the Geng Metal Day Master. Relative to the month’s Bazi Chart, this is comparable to a realization that everyone in your industry is using slightly differing variations of the same marketing strategy.
This could be further exacerbated by the Grand Duke Combination. Everyone is copying the tactics of the industry leader.
On the positive continuum, you are entering a month that elevates your creativity and oratory skills. You are at your most convincing.
If the Gui You month exerts a negative influence on your chart, short-term thinking and impulsivity could cause the Geng Metal Day Master to trigger the Lesser Consumer in the Rooster month. Because both Hurting Officer and Rob Wealth together can represent an intense desire to lord it over others.
The Geng Metal Day Master can also be one of the day masters at risk of the other, more quarrelsome, auxiliary stars in the Rooster. Namely, the Flying Blade and Year Sha. If this Rob Wealth is a negative presence in your chart, you could be facing some form of noisy arguments specifically caused by your followers, junior staff, or clique. Somehow, with the Cascading Cloud in play, everyone seemed to have decided that September is a great month to start airing their grievances.
SEPTEMBER 2024 GENG METAL | BUSINESS: PROOF OF CONCEPT
With your Rob Wealth (many) producing your Hurting Officer (stories), which then produces your Indirect Wealth year, September 2024 is a good month for the Geng Metal Day Master to leverage on the love of your clients and followers by sharing their story within your marketing endeavours.
In a way, you could call this proof of concept. Testimonials from existing customers on how your products or services have created a positive impact in their lives.
SEPTEMBER 2024 GENG METAL | BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: FEEDBACK LOOP AND CROWDFUND IDEAS
I’ve always reckoned that as long as people are making the effort to ‘complain’, you’ve still got a chance to win them over. It’s when people stop complaining that is when you are at the cusp of losing them. This holds true for any relationship – between a client and yourself, colleagues or staff, and even interpersonal relationships. When the noise stops, one foot is already out the door.
For the Geng Metal Day Master, September 2024’s energy is good for creating a feedback loop and to crowdfund ideas. Of course, if you take this step, be ready to take action on the issues and complains you unearth.
“Tell me how I can do better,” is the thrust of this tactic. Tell me how I can do better as a boss, a manager, a leader, a friend, a colleague, a team member, a partner, a parent… the list goes on.
But why are we opening ourselves up to listening to complaints? It’s not pleasant, right? Because within these complaints, if you pay close attention, are potential possibilities to improve…which will lay the groundwork for October’s Indirect Wealth month.

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.

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 June 2024, the Geng Metal Day Masters will see your Friend month countering your Indirect Wealth.
If you have been planning to forgo sleep for a month in an all-out chase for Wealth, well, know that that would certainly be in line with the month’s energy! I’d hesitate to judge if this is good or bad. Just… know your limits, ok?
Here are the possible strategies to deploy for June 2024:
BUSINESS: SELF-FUND A PROJECT
In May 2024, Geng Metal Day Masters had the opportunity to attract some form of investments for your projects. If this did not pan out as you had hoped, you may need to look at a spot of DIY in June at least to get your keynote project off the ground.
For the Geng Metal Day Master, the Geng Wu pillar sees your Friend Star sitting on your Direct Officer and Direct Resource. The Direct Officer brings discipline and structure, while the Direct Resource brings support.
BUSINESS: TO BENEFIT FROM GROUP ACTION, FIRST YOU MUST BE BETTER
Alternatively, if May had indeed brought you the investors you were looking for, the Friend month could bring you the opportunity to either lead or join with a group of people in search of Wealth opportunities. But within the Geng Wu (庚午) month is your Friend Star sitting on the Direct Officer, bringing potential power struggles.
The message from the month energy is obvious. In order to benefit from being a part of any partnerships, joint ventures, or even short-term collaborations, you need to be better. Find the strength to fight for what is right for yourself. We’ll deal with the blowback in July.
CAREER: WHO NEEDS TO KNOW YOU?
Obviously, the first two possible strategies will have zero impact for our career professionals. In your case, a Friend month is a networking month, plain and simple. It’s time to be more structured and less haphazard with your networking.
I know! I know! Ugh to the networking. The usual networking strategy is to ask ourselves – who do I need to know next? But frequently, that question is so hard to answer, isn’t it? So let’s flip that around – who needs to know YOU? Does that help clarify?
If you still need another hint, places associated with the Friend star include cafes, coffee bars, and most pertinently, professional associations. Got your answer now? And because this is only a month’s energy. You just need one person!
SELF DEVELOPMENT: SELF-CHECK
If none of the above appeals, then June 2024 is a good month for the Geng Metal Day Master to pause for a self-check to ensure that you are progressing in the right way.

Geng Metal Day Masters will see their Indirect Wealth year meeting with a Direct Resource month in May 2024.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Investor luck tends to be strong with the year-long Indirect Wealth (representing vision) while the Direct Resource brings… well, resources!
This could go both ways. If you are in the process of securing investors for your ventures and projects, May is the month to double down on your efforts. If, on the other hand, you have been on the lookout for a juicy investment opportunity, keep your eyes peeled in May 2024.
TURNING PROBLEMS INTO OPPORTUNITIES
A closer look at the Ji Si pillar sees your 7 Killings as the main Qi of the month. Which naturally makes May 2024, a problem-solving month for the Geng Metal Day Masters. With the support from both your Direct Resource and Indirect Resource, the Geng Metal Day Master will find access to resources and support as you seek to turn problems into opportunities.
IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR DATA COLLECTION
For the Geng Metal Day Master, the Ji Si pillar in May 2024 creates an ideal environment to test the validity of your ideas. Something in the line of an A/B Testing. It’s also a good month for data collection. If you have been looking to launch a campaign to collect data, May 2024’s energy would be ideal for you.
THE ONLY CAUTION
With your 7 Killings hiding beneath the Direct Resource, you can also take action secretly behind the scenes, while maintaining an illusion of status quo on the surface.
The only caution for the Geng Metal Day Master is to avoid possible inaction caused by second-guessing and indecisiveness. It’s likely to happen because both the Direct Resource and Indirect Resource are in play in May. Direct Resource is left-brain; while Indirect Resource is right-brain. If both are ticking at optimum, you will find a lot of progress in May. But if you can’t decide between using either side of the brain, dithering happens! So please be mindful!

Let’s look again at what happens during a landslide or an avalanche. While on the surface, it seems like there is a big mess. But what was previously hidden inside the mountain, any gold veins or previous metals, is now visible. For the Geng Metal Day Master, April 2024 is like a month where you discover hidden talents or aspects of yourselves that you never knew.
HURTING OFFICER, DIRECT WEALTH, DIRECT OFFICER
We all possess hidden talents waiting to be uncovered, talents that can enrich our lives and those around us. However, the process of uncovering these talents comes with a caveat: the risk of becoming over-confident. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to uncover hidden talents while maintaining humility and balance.
The journey of uncovering hidden talents often begins with self-reflection and exploration. It’s about being open to new experiences and stepping out of your comfort zone. Try new things, explore different interests, and pay attention to activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. These can be clues to your hidden talents waiting to be discovered.
Once you’ve identified a potential talent, it’s important to nurture and develop it. This may involve seeking out mentors, taking classes, or practicing regularly. Embrace the learning process and be patient with yourself as you progress. Remember, talent is not just about innate ability; it’s also about effort and dedication.
As you begin to see progress in your chosen talent, it’s natural to feel a sense of accomplishment. However, it’s important to guard against becoming over-confident. Over-confidence can blind us to our weaknesses and prevent us from continuing to grow and improve.
One way to guard against over-confidence is to stay humble. Recognize that there is always more to learn and room for improvement. Surround yourself with people who will challenge you and provide honest feedback. Stay curious and open-minded, and be willing to accept constructive criticism.
Another way to prevent over-confidence is to maintain a sense of perspective. Remember that talent is just one aspect of who you are. Focus on developing a well-rounded personality and continue to pursue a variety of interests. This will not only keep you grounded but also make you a more interesting and dynamic individual.

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!

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.

If you are a Geng Metal Day Master, brace yourself for a busy year ahead. The coming of the 2024 Jia Chen 甲辰 year (Year of the Wood Dragon) is bringing you opportunities to expand and diversify.
INDIRECT WEALTH YEAR: I SEE OPPORTUNITIES!
Pictorially, how would a Geng Metal Day Master view the Jia Chen (甲辰) year? Geng Metal is likened to an axe. The Jia Wood is likened to a tree. When an axe sees a lush, healthy, delectable tree, it’s teeth starts to itch!
In real life, this could mean that in 2024, the Geng Metal Day Master is likely to see many income generating opportunities out in the forest market. To capitalize on these opportunities, you must have your resources ready.
Must we necessarily cut down the entire tree? How about we think along the lines of creating room for growth? Perhaps there are certain branches of your business that are no longer profitable but taking up precious resource. In other words, the picture that the Jia Chen presents for the Geng Metal Day Master also says there may be a need to trim down on existing responsibilities, to create growth opportunities.
THE DIVERSIFICATION EFFECT
This is pure basic economic sense. We don’t put all our eggs into a single basket. We can no longer rely on just a single source of income.
When we look at the Jia Chen pillar as a whole, from the perspective of the Geng Metal Day Master, here is the chance to branch out. Why branching out? Jia Wood is seen as a tree. Trees grow branches, that’s mostly what they do! Therefore, here is a chance to diversify your income streams by providing new experiences that cater to new consumer interests.
The Indirect Wealth always talks about multiple income streams. As such, we can also interpret the Indirect Wealth as a side-gig – the creation of a new side gig by leveraging on your existing experience and skills.
And of course, OPM! When a year presents itself with both Indirect Wealth and Indirect Resource together, here is investor luck. It’s the potential to expand your business by attracting the right type of investors. Hence, Other People’s Money! You can also see this as potential investment opportunities coming your way. However, please note that the energy is just bringing you the opportunities. There are no guarantees that you will have the Midas touch. Therefore, due diligence is required! Please!
Lastly, a Wealth year is always busy. When Wealth counters Resource, there are indicators of potential health challenges. So you may want to invest in the necessary health procedures such as health screenings, certain treatments that you may have been putting off, or even medication or health supplements that are prescribed by your physician. Essentially, we are ‘buying health’ by investing money into the necessary prevention and maintenance works for our physical wellbeing.
