November offers the Gui Water Day Master a mix of surprises and hidden advantages. It’s a time when unexpected opportunities can emerge, often disguised as challenges or unconventional situations. The energy this month is ideal for brainstorming, crowdsourcing ideas, and taking advantage of strategic gaps in competitors’ approaches. However, be cautious of the tendency to overspend or indulge in lavish behavior to keep up with others.
Opportunities in Disguise: This month brings unexpected opportunities that may not be immediately obvious. Your natural adaptability and intuitive nature make you well-suited to recognize these hidden advantages, turning them into strategic wins. Whether in business, career, or personal growth, keep an open mind and be ready to explore unconventional paths.
Crowdsourcing and Brainstorming: November’s energy supports collaborative thinking and idea generation. Engage in brainstorming sessions, town halls, or crowdsourcing efforts to generate creative solutions. You’ll find that other people’s insights, methods, and strategies can provide valuable shortcuts or unexpected breakthroughs.
Leverage Competitive Gaps: Use this month’s strategic awareness to identify gaps in your competitors’ strategies. The ability to spot overlooked opportunities will be a strong advantage, enabling you to position yourself more effectively in the market or career landscape.
Potential Pitfalls: Avoid Keeping Up with the Joneses
Living Lavishly: The desire to match others’ lifestyles or maintain appearances can lead to unnecessary spending. While it’s tempting to indulge in a more lavish lifestyle, especially when opportunities seem to be flowing in, be mindful of your finances and avoid living beyond your means.
Misinterpreting Opportunities: Not all unexpected opportunities are worth pursuing. Be cautious of situations that seem promising but don’t align with your long-term goals or values. Use your natural discernment to separate genuine opportunities from distractions.
NOVEMBER 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS: STRATEGIC GAPS
Engage in collaborative sessions to generate ideas, whether through team brainstorming, town halls, or online platforms. Crowdsourcing can reveal new product ideas, marketing strategies, or process improvements that might not have been considered before. Be open to unconventional suggestions, as they might hold the key to breakthrough solutions.
Use your strategic mindset to identify and capitalize on gaps in competitors’ strategies. Whether it’s untapped markets, overlooked customer needs, or areas of poor service, your ability to spot these weaknesses can provide a significant edge. This is a good time to refine your positioning or launch campaigns that exploit these gaps.
While pursuing new opportunities, ensure that your spending aligns with realistic budgets and potential returns. Avoid the temptation to overspend on marketing, promotions, or business upgrades that may not yield substantial returns.
NOVEMBER 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS: MASTER THE HACK
Be open to unconventional career opportunities that may arise unexpectedly. These could come in the form of unique projects, temporary roles, or collaborations that expand your skill set or network. Embrace these chances, even if they don’t initially seem aligned with your current path, as they could open new doors.
Focus on learning from successful colleagues or industry leaders by adopting their methods or ideas. Observe how they achieve results and apply similar techniques to your own work. This approach can lead to quicker results and help you adapt more rapidly in a competitive environment.
While it’s natural to want to project a successful image, avoid career decisions that are driven primarily by a desire to “keep up with the Joneses.” Focus instead on roles or projects that genuinely contribute to your long-term goals, even if they don’t carry immediate prestige.
NOVEMBER 2024 GUI WATER | PERSONAL: EMBRACE NEW PERSPECTIVES
Use November to explore new ideas, methods, or perspectives that contribute to personal growth. This could mean joining new social circles, attending workshops, or simply engaging in deep conversations that broaden your understanding of personal development.
Engage in personal brainstorming sessions to identify areas of improvement. Whether it’s health, relationships, or hobbies, focus on discovering new ways to approach challenges and achieve personal goals. Crowdsourcing ideas from friends, mentors, or personal development groups can also be helpful.
While it’s good to reward yourself for successes, be mindful of spending habits. Focus on long-term financial well-being, making sure that expenses are aligned with your goals rather than temporary desires for luxury.

October 2024 is shaping up to be a noisy month for Gui Water Day Masters. With a clash between your Hurting Officer stars and Direct Officer stars, expect an environment filled with conflicting opinions. The world is loud, and everyone seems to have something to say. For the Gui Water Day Master, navigating this noise will require balancing your desire for expression with the need to manage expectations.
OCTOBER 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS: GUI, THE TROLL
In business, October offers an interesting dynamic. The Hurting Officer star, known for its expressive and outspoken nature, comes into conflict with the more disciplined and rule-abiding Direct Officer star. This can create tension in how you present yourself or your ideas to others.
If positive: You can use humor and wit to your advantage. In a noisy environment, the ability to stand out through cleverness is a strength. Use light-hearted trolling or playful banter to get your message across and engage your audience. A prime example is Kamala Harris’ U.S. presidential campaign, which has effectively used wit and humor to disarm critics and control the narrative. Harnessing this type of energy can help you rise above the noise while still making an impact.
If negative: There’s a risk of being labeled as braggy or over-exaggerating, especially if your claims seem too bold or detached from reality. Be mindful of not overselling or promising more than you can deliver. While humor and clever remarks can win you attention, it’s important to manage expectations. Avoid letting your expressive side undermine your credibility by leaning too far into self-promotion.
OCTOBER 2024 GUI WATER | CAREER & PERSONAL: BEWARE ATTENTION-SEEKING TENDENCIES
In your career and personal development, this month’s energy encourages you to share what you’ve learned and experienced, especially from September. However, be wary of attention-seeking tendencies. With so much conflicting energy in play, there’s a temptation to speak louder or more dramatically just to be noticed. Instead, focus on delivering value through your insights and contributions.
This is a great time to share your knowledge and showcase your growth, but be sure to do it from a place of authenticity. Let your actions speak for themselves, rather than seeking validation through attention. By grounding your message in substance rather than flash, you’ll attract the right kind of recognition.
CONCLUSION: BALANCE EXPRESSION AND EXPECTATIONS
For Gui Water Day Masters, October is all about balancing expression with expectation. In business, humor and wit can be powerful tools, but they must be wielded carefully to avoid seeming boastful. In your career and personal life, sharing your experiences is valuable, but beware of seeking attention for attention’s sake. By maintaining a grounded approach, you’ll navigate the noisy month with confidence and clarity.

If August had brought a glimpse of inspiration on your next evolution, September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉), with your Friend star sitting on Indirect Resource, is setting the stage for you to use that inspiration by expanding your network. It’s a chance to seek out people who share the same goals.
On the positive side, here is a chance to make use of the Rooster’s Grand Duke Combination to build new relationships or solidify existing ones.
However, on the negative side, the Gui Water Day Master can also be susceptible to the argumentative stars in the Rooster which heightens your risk of being undermined or sabotaged by external parties. Your Hurting Officer weakening the Friend star, can sometimes, bring a fair bit of drama.
With the potential of relationship opportunities or issues, September is a good month to focus on relationship management.
SEPTEMBER 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
No doubt about it, September 2024 is a good month for the Gui Water day master to prioritize networking. More specifically, widen and diversify (Indirect Resource) your circle of contacts (Friend).
Every time we are ready to embark on something new, diving into a new group of contacts can create the influence and support that encourages to take that bold new step.
SEPTEMBER 2024 GUI WATER | PERSONAL GROWTH: INDULGE YOUR CURIOSITY
Some of you might rightly be thinking, “Are you kidding me? In a month with potential relationship problems and sabotage, you’re asking me to network?”
I hear ya!
Let’s talk about the drama-avoidance strategy instead. Indirect Resource (curiosity) producing a Friend star (self confidence) is also a good month to get behind that delusion door and indulge your wide-ranging interests. So go ahead. Stay home, read, research, ponder, reflect and contemplate to your heart’s desire.
But get ready to bring those ‘new discoveries’ to the fore in October, when your Hurting Officer month meets your Hurting Officer year.

If July’s Xin Wei month had indeed brought you the inspiration for your next evolution, August’s Ren Shen (壬申) month brings the seeds for the start of a new movement. Gui Water Day Masters will see a rooted Rob Wealth sitting on your Direct Resource, and further supported by your Direct Officer.
Following the principles of the Taiji, any interaction with your Chart can bring either positive or negative outcomes. Beginning this month, I will try to outlay the potential plus and minuses of each month. Your job, on the other hand, is to decide to use the positive, instead of triggering the negative.
Potential benefits would be enhanced leadership. On the negative spectrums, your staff, followers or minions could cause problems.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS: INFLUENCER MARKETING
The Rob Wealth is a mind-control star. In today’s world, we call them influencers! The Rob Wealth also talks about the concept of ‘many’. In essence, many people.
A potential positive use of this energy would be to create a systemized sales referral program to enhance your influencer marketing outreach.
Caution: Do not tie your brand to their image.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | BUSINESS AND CAREER: MASTERY TRAINING
Enhance your leadership influence by creating training programmes for your clients or internally within your organization. By this, I mean you need to do the training.
Because when we train, we enhance our visibility and sphere of influence, we gain in status and recognition as an expert in our field, and we create an opportunity to interact with colleagues and teams from other departments which opens up possibilities for relationships, mentorship and collaboration.
A Gui Water Day Master’s natural gift is the gift of subtle influence. Like the mist and invisible water vapours, Gui Water can cover a large and diverse ground. Volunteering to conduct training can give you that opportunity to leave your mark on others within the organization.
AUGUST 2024 GUI WATER | PERSONAL: INVEST, DON’T SPEND
First, let’s get the bad news out of the way. When your Rob Wealth is being produced by your Direct Resource, which then produces your Hurting Officer in the month, here is an inclination to spend in order to show off. In essence, you could be depleting your current resources in an attempt to keep up with the Joneses.
But if money is going out, let’s think investments instead of spending. Invest the funds into group activities. Invest in mastery courses that helps you improve your leadership, authority, or personal branding.

After an action-packed month in June, July’s Xin Wei (辛未) is preparing the Gui Water Day Master for the next evolution. With your receptivity enhanced by your Indirect Resource month, it’s a good month to plug into the universe to download some fresh, new, amazing ideas!
BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL : WHAT’S YOUR NEXT MOVE?
In our daily rush, sometimes it’s all too easy to forget to plan ahead. July’s Xin Wei is giving you exactly this opportunity. The reminder to pause for a moment and ask yourself, “What’s my next move?”
While you can do this solo, you can also use your Indirect Resource to brainstorm with others and gather diverse opinions as well. We never know who’s going to come up with a brainwave, do we?
But because this Indirect Resource is sitting on the7 Killings, using exercise to meditate (like walking meditations), may be the trigger that kicks off the chain of ideas. There are plenty of good in walking meditations – enhanced observation skills, improves blood sugar levels, circulation, blood flow, and with more blood flowing to the brain… mental clarity and focus!
Some people throttle their potential by refusing to think “what if?” and ignoring what’s truly important to them in life. You have to start dreaming before you can achieve anything.
BUSINESS: EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING
But for business owners, the market doesn’t stop for you to take a walking meditation. So here’s another way to use the Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings. Experiential marketing (which is just a fancy word for factory visits 😊).
Essentially, creating an experience around your product or service. Allowing your clients to create a tactile or emotional experience. Lame jokes about factory visits aside, this could happen in the form of sampling, pop up stores, live events, or even, if you have a gazillion marketing bucks in your armoury, augmented reality or the metaverse!
In fact, this would mesh in very well with the June strategy, which was to focus on myth-busting. After we bust the myth, we need to make the facts sticky. What could be more sticky than allowing people to experience it for themselves?

In June 2024’s Geng Wu (庚午) month, while Ren Water Day Masters are searching for loopholes, Gui Water Day Masters should be ready to strike while the iron is hot. And you need to move fast. Like lightning fast!
Editor’s note: You know I wouldn’t be able to resist using this idiom. The question was always which Day Master would I award this to.
BUSINESS AND CAREER: MYTH BUSTING GUI WATER
Gui Water Day Masters has a whole year to play with your Hurting Officer. Now, with your Direct Resource coming into counter your Hurting Officer, the obvious business strategy is to engage in a spot of myth-busting. To address common misconceptions about your business or industry, and by doing so, creating the reputation of being the ‘real deal’.
But merely contradicting a myth may backfire, especially when we’re working with just a month’s worth of energy. Straight up telling people they are wrong actually makes them dig themselves into a bigger hole. *cough* flat-earthers *cough*
Better to replace with a plausible alternative explanation backed up by compelling evidence to make the facts stickier than myths.
For business owners, the benefits come in the form of enhanced marketing, of course. For career professionals, this helps bolster your reputation as an expert in your given field.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: COACH FOR CASH
Coaching. The latest ideal side gig for almost everyone. But honestly, if you stop to think about it, we all coach. Every day. With our colleagues, our family members, or our friends. Every time someone comes to us for a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or even a word of advice, are we not coaching?
So what’s so special with June? Supported by your Indirect Wealth and 7 Killings stars, the conditions are ripe to start charging for your advice. Direct Resource sitting on Indirect Wealth and 7 Killings is impetus to start monetizing your knowledge.
I know Bazi students who have studied the art for years without ever charging for their free consults. If you feel bad taking money, then make them pay it forward to a charity of your choice. Like seriously! Get the exchange of equivalent value loop going.
Oh, and if it is further confidence you need to start consulting, I offer tutorial services to help beginner Bazi consultants prepare for your upcoming consults. Hit me up by email to learn more.

Gui Water Day Masters, brace for a busy month ahead! In 2024, you see Hurting Officer in the Year with 7 Killings in the Month. It’s a time when ambition meets courage!
Bolstered by these two expansive energies (Hurting Officer want to show off; 7 Killings wants to win at all costs), the Gui Water Day Master may experience a surge of energy that propels you to spread yourself too thin.
Therefore, the focus for May 2024 is to take calculated risks. We need to simultaneously leverage on the aggressive drive of the 7 Killings to seek new ground, while employing the stabilizing effect of the Direct Wealth to ensure these pursuits don’t jeopardize your existing foundations.
BALANCING THE INTERPLAY OF OPPOSING ENERGIES
Balancing the interplay between the expansive 7 Killings with the stodginess of the Direct Wealth typically requires time. At the minimum, a year. In a month’s energy? Know that the opposing pull of these energies can cause feelings of indecisiveness. To find some balance, you could:
Direct Wealth: Understand your plan thoroughly. Easy to say, hard to do for the delightfully fickle Gui Water.
Direct Officer: Know your own boundaries or limits.

For the Gui Water Day Master, April 2024 sees your Direct Officer sitting on another Direct Officer. One Direct Officer is great. Too many becomes rigid and stubborn. This formation can sometimes (and I stress, sometimes), bring about a power struggle. If you find yourself stuck in this type of situation, let integrity, honesty and trust be your guiding light. With your Hurting Officer in the Year countering the Direct Officer in the Month, a little diplomacy may be in order.
FRIEND, EATING GOD, DIRECT OFFICER
Power struggles can be challenging and often result in negative outcomes for all involved. However, by leveraging the values of integrity, honesty, and trust, it is possible to navigate these situations with grace and achieve positive resolutions.
Integrity is crucial in a power struggle because it demonstrates a commitment to doing what is right, regardless of the circumstances. When faced with a power struggle, it’s important to stay true to your principles and values. This means being honest about your intentions and motivations, and acting in a way that is consistent with your beliefs. By demonstrating integrity, you can earn the respect and trust of others, which is essential for resolving conflicts and building consensus.
Honesty is another key value that can help overcome a power struggle. In a power struggle, it can be tempting to bend the truth or withhold information to gain an advantage. However, honesty is always the best policy. By being honest about your intentions, concerns, and needs, you can build trust with the other party and create a foundation for open and constructive communication. Trust is perhaps the most important value when it comes to overcoming a power struggle. Trust is built over time through consistent behavior and honest communication. In a power struggle, it’s important to demonstrate trustworthiness by following through on your commitments and respecting the perspectives of others. By building trust, you can create a more collaborative and mutually beneficial outcome.

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.
Alternatively, grab a bunch of friends and enjoy life together.
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.

Listen up if you are a Gui Water Day Master! Since your counterpart Ren Water Day Masters will be experiencing an Eating God Suppressing Sha formation, then obviously, the Gui Water Day Masters will have a formation as well!
In your case, the 2024 Jia Chen or Wood Dragon year presents as a Hurting Officer Countering Direct Officer formation. In a traditional interpretation, this is not a great formation. But things have changed. In today’s world, especially with the coming Period 9, conditions and social attitudes are more open to the effects of the Hurting Officer Countering Direct Officer formation.
Which means, that we can still create possible strategies.
HURTING OFFICER YEAR: CONTROL THE NARRATIVE
In Bazi, we visualize Gui Water as fine droplets of water – rain, mists, fog, and even clouds! Meanwhile, Jia Chen is directly imagined as a tall and beautiful tree standing proud on a lush green mountain.
As the cloud comes in and moves about, the picture changes. Sometimes you see the whole tree, sometimes part of the mountain, the picture keeps changing based on how the Gui Water moves!
That’s the key! It’s a disruption opportunity! “I now have the power to control what you see.”
THE REBEL EFFECT
Here is a heaven-sent opportunity to control the narrative! For one year, you get to control what the market sees. And with that, you have the chance to channel their needs into your wants. Obviously, a lot of marketing campaigns will be required to capitalize on this opportunity.
More! The traditional interpretation of the Hurting Officer Countering the Direct Officer is negative because this is a disruptive formation. In the ancient Chinese societies, they don’t like rebels! But today, if you are creating a startup, here is the chance to disrupt the market and change how the game is played!
Granted, it’s easier for business owners to deploy the above two strategies. How then can career professionals use, what is considered a negative formation in the past, in a positive way? Remember, this formation has a rebel effect. That is why, in the traditional interpretation, this could lead to a loss of reputation. The root cause of the loss of reputation is unnecessary arguments. Therefore, to channel this into a positive, how about we consciously enhance our personal attraction and visibility by directing people’s attention to our strengths instead of our weaknesses? Which means that, if you do nothing else in 2024, at the very least, please work on your personal branding.
