In the study of Bazi, January or the month of the Ox (丑) represents the end of Winter. A time before the great thaw. When the world is still encased in ice. In the hands of a Geng Metal Day Master, January 2024’s Yi Chou month (乙丑) represents a chance to get a head start on your winter ploughing.
DIRECT WEALTH MONTH: DILIGENCE? OR JUST PLAIN SLOG?
To be honest, the Direct Wealth has never been one my favourites among the 10 Gods. Yes, it’s a wealth star. But this is wealth that commensurates to the level of your hard work. In other words, the harder you work, the better you earn. And as a weak Day Master, I’m allergic to hard work. 😊
But even within the connotation of hard work, there is a difference in perception. Do we view this as diligence? Or just plain slog? Slogging implies work that is tedious, monotonous, purposeless, and conveys a sense of weariness.
Meanwhile, diligence is more purposeful in nature. It implies consistent and steady application of effort over time, in pursuit of a particular goal.
So how then, can a Geng Metal Day Master use January 2024’s energy in a more diligent and purposeful manner?
WINTER PLOUGHING
If we were to visualize the Yi Chou as the frozen winter soil, then metaphorically, the actions taken by the Geng Metal Day Master in January 2024 is literally akin to winter ploughing. The intention of winter ploughing is to loosen the soil, making it more porous so that rainwater can seep in or infiltrate instead of flowing away as runoff without being accessible to roots of the plants or crops.
Winter ploughing is really hard work. Imagine trying to dig into frozen earth with a spade! This is where intentional diligence comes in for the Geng Metal Day Master – approaching your projects with mindset of a farmer, where each deliberate furrow symbolizes not just effort, but the cultivation of fertile ground for the seeds of success to flourish in the seasons to come.
Therefore, for the Geng Metal Day Master, January 2024 can be a time where you are literally preparing the foundations. This goes beyond surface-level completion of tasks. It involves the thoughtful preparation of the ‘soil’ in your professional and personal life.
The surface-level tasks will always be there. They still need to be dealt with. Frequently, these are tasks equated to our workaday. But expanding on this idea of winter ploughing for the Geng Metal Day Master, January 2024 requires you to be intentional about where you expand your energy towards beyond the surface-level, check-in-the-box tasks. Because where we direct energy, is where we receive the benefits.
Let’s hang this metaphor around an example. Let’s say you are a career professional looking to expand your career path. The winter ploughing metaphor is you finding pockets of time to complete the tasks directly related to your goal of expanding your career path. Because in our busy and overwhelming lives, it is these important yet non-urgent tasks that often get relegated to the bottom of the to-do list.
So let’s use the month of January 2024 to put those important future-related tasks to the forefront of your priority. And this is how you plough the ground to prepare for future success to come.
