November invites the Ji Earth Day Master to use its natural nurturing and fertile energy to cultivate future opportunities from current accomplishments. The energy this month supports flexing your problem-solving skills and increasing productivity. However, unstable transactions and the temptation for short-term gains can be potential pitfalls if not managed wisely.
Positive Influences: Convert Accomplishments into Growth
Leverage Current Success: This month is about building on existing achievements and transforming them into stepping stones for the future. Your focus should be on converting current successes—whether small wins or major milestones—into long-term strategies that pave the way for sustainable growth.
Flex Problem-Solving Skills: The grounded, adaptable nature of Ji Earth makes this an ideal time to enhance your problem-solving abilities. The energy encourages you to approach challenges creatively, finding solutions that not only resolve immediate issues but also contribute to overall productivity.
Long-Term Focus: November’s energy aligns with sacrificing short-term gains for long-term benefits. It’s a time to make strategic decisions that may not yield immediate results but are crucial for future growth. This approach allows you to build a solid foundation that will bear fruit over time.
Potential Pitfalls: Avoid Unstable Transactions
Unstable Transactions: Transaction growth can be a bit of a roller-coaster in November, especially if deals or agreements are rushed in pursuit of quick wins. Be cautious about financial or business transactions that lack stability or clear terms, as these can disrupt your plans.
Temptation for Quick Wins: While it’s natural to want to see results, be wary of shortcuts or deals that offer immediate gains but lack sustainability. Stick to your long-term strategy, even if it requires forgoing short-term rewards.
NOVEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | BUSINESS: BUILD FOR THE LONG-TERM
Use November to turn recent business achievements into strategic plans for the future. Review past successes, identify what worked well, and incorporate those elements into long-term growth strategies. Whether it’s a successful product launch, a well-executed campaign, or strong sales figures, use these accomplishments as a base to refine your business direction.
Enhance productivity by focusing on creative problem-solving. Encourage brainstorming sessions, implement new tools or systems that streamline operations, and address inefficiencies head-on. Your ability to adapt and find practical solutions will be key to maintaining momentum.
Be cautious with new business opportunities or transactions that seem promising but lack clear terms or stability. Ensure all agreements are well-defined and aligned with your long-term business strategy. If necessary, sacrifice immediate revenue for deals that offer consistent growth.
NOVEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | CAREER: FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
November is the time to capitalize on recent career successes, such as project completions, recognition, or skill advancements. Use these accomplishments as leverage for future opportunities, whether it’s a promotion, a shift in responsibilities, or professional development.
Be strategic about your career decisions. While short-term gains, such as a pay raise or a quick promotion, may be tempting, prioritize moves that align with your long-term vision. This might mean investing in additional training, taking on challenging projects, or building relationships with key mentors.
NOVEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | PERSONAL: NURTURE FUTURE POTENTIAL
Use personal successes, such as maintaining a fitness routine, building a positive habit, or achieving a personal goal, as a base to create sustainable routines. Transform these achievements into daily habits that contribute to ongoing growth.
Alternatively, sacrifice short-term indulgences for long-term health and wellness goals. This might mean sticking to a healthier diet, committing to regular exercise, or maintaining mental well-being practices like meditation, even when tempted by immediate comforts.
JI EARTH LADIES
If you are in the market for a potential love interest, November is the month to be more active socially. Ji Earth ladies are also poised to use the Red Matchmaker.

For the Ji Earth Day Master, October 2024’s Jia Xu reveals a struggle between your Jia Wood Direct Officer trying to stabilize the crumbling earth beneath, represented by your Wu Earth Rob Wealth star. Imagine a tree, its roots struggling in vain to hold together crumbling soil. This month’s energy is about balancing control and structure in a chaotic environment, where your instincts to take command can either lead to success or burnout.
If positive: This is your opportunity to impose your will or establish your standards, creating a system for others to follow. Use this moment to centralize control and direct the course of events.
If negative: Trying to control what cannot be contained will only lead to exhaustion. Be mindful of where you invest your energy, as attempting to stabilize something unstable can drain your resources.
OCTOBER 2024 JI EARTH | BUSINESS AND CAREER: CENTRALIZED CONTROL STRATEGY
This month’s energy is ideal for employing a centralized control strategy in your business or career. In this approach, you seek to impose your system, ideas, or standards across an organization or market. By centralizing control, dictating decisions, and ensuring uniformity in execution, you can exert strong influence. This strategy works particularly well in environments where decisive leadership is required or in industries where standardization is critical for success.
A classic example of this strategy is Steve Jobs’ leadership at Apple. Jobs maintained a clear vision for the company’s products and imposed this vision across the entire organization. Through a top-down approach, he ensured that his standards for design, user experience, and innovation were meticulously followed. Any deviation from this vision was swiftly corrected, and dissent was often met with strong opposition or removal. This strict adherence to a singular vision resulted in Apple’s consistent and cohesive brand identity.
However, it’s important to recognize that this strategy only works when you have sufficient leverage. You must have the authority, influence, or resources to enforce your will. Otherwise, the pushback you encounter from trying to impose your ideas on others can become overwhelming. Without adequate support, attempting to control uncontrollable elements may lead to frustration, exhaustion, or even failure.
CONCLUSION: KNOW YOUR LIMITS AND LEVERAGE
The key to success for the Ji Earth Day Master this month lies in understanding when and where to exert control. In business, centralizing your authority and enforcing uniformity can be a powerful strategy, but only if you have the necessary leverage. Be mindful not to exhaust yourself trying to stabilize situations beyond your control. If you play your cards right, this month can offer a valuable opportunity to implement systems that strengthen your leadership and command.

For the Ji Earth Day Masters, the energies of September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) month sees your Indirect Wealth being produced by your Eating God.
A month that sees your Direct Officer (Year) being strengthened by your Indirect Wealth (side business) will typically bode well for business or career outcomes.
If the Gui You is a positive presence to your chart, you see a month where you gain respect for your ideas and foresight.
On the other hand, if the Gui You exerts a negative presence, then September may be a month where there is a lot of talk, but no action.
SEPTEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | BUSINESS: CREATE NEW PRODUCT LINES
2024 is a Direct Officer year for the Ji Earth Day Master. One of the opportunities to use this year was to create a flagship halo effect around a core product or service. Now with the Gui You, here’s a chance to add a new roster of products or services into that flagship.
With your creativity on the uptick, and your reputation in the industry solidified, September is a good month to leverage on the authority and respect you have gained to introduce new offerings into the market.
SEPTEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | CAREER AND NEWBIE ENTREPRENEUR: THE APPRENTICE
From a career perspective, (and also applicable if you are a newbie entrepreneur), September 2024’s Gui You month is a chance to position yourself as an endless pool of ideas and inspiration for your superiors to draw on. As someone who consistently and pro-actively generates innovative solutions, creative strategies, and fresh perspectives.
This alone makes you a valuable contributor to your organization. BUT… you must ensure that your contributions are recognized and valued. You must be getting something in return. All giving and no taking is just as harmful as all take and no give.
Therefore, instead of being a giver to all, why not use the Grand Duke Combination to ally or apprentice yourself to an established superior or entrepreneur.
SEPTEMBER 2024 JI EARTH | PERSONAL GROWTH: INTELLIGENCE STAR ALERT
If the above ideas are not applicable to your case, then at least know that with the Rooster comes your Intelligence Star month. If nothing else, use this to acquire or master a new skillset. With creativity on the uptick, have fun exploring and connecting with your creative side.

For the Ji Earth Day Masters, the energies of August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) month offers a simple choice – are you going to be part of the solution, or part of the problem?
If you had been mindful of the impact of your contribution in July 2024, logically, productivity would be on the uptick in August.
On the positive spectrum, if you have decided to be a part of the solution, then the Three Stages available in the Monkey, is waiting to support you.
But, on the other hand, if you have decided to be a part of the problem, then there is a high possibility of triggering the Five Ghost and Back Poking.
AUGUST 2024 JI EARTH | BUSINESS: INCREASE TRANSACTIONS
This would be a good time to focus your marketing efforts to create innovative new ways for your existing clientele or followers to interact with you. Because August 2024 sees your Output star producing your Direct Wealth. The Direct Wealth represents actual transactions or sales. Therefore, any initiative to encourage repeat business would fit. The goal is to build on your existing customer base and deepen your relationship with them.
Let’s take a simple example. Let’s say you’ve got an online store on Shopee. An example of this idea would be to create a special promotion ticket to encourage repeat purchases.
Alternatively, you could also use the month’s energy to get down to the brass tacks and address customers complaints and reviews (Five Ghosts and Back Poking).
AUGUST 2024 JI EARTH | CAREER AND PERSONAL: LET’S BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
From a career and personal perspective, August 2024 is a time for the Ji Earth Day Master to increase your value to your organization (Direct Officer) through your ability to get things done (Direct Wealth).
Because the Direct Wealth is a productivity star, you’d probably end up with the bulk of the work anyway. Without mindful managing of the energy, August 2024 may see you doing all the work, and complaining about it to all and sundry.
A positive (albeit harder) use of the energy would be to use your Rob Wealth leadership support. Create an enthusiastic and high energy environment around you. Complement that by using your Hurting Officer to motivate, and your Direct Wealth to delegate. In short, increase productivity within your organization or home, and thereby increasing your reputation as a valued contributor.

In May 2024, one of the suggested strategies for the Ji Earth Day Master was to acquire more resources. We needed those resources to go against the grain in June. Come July 2024’s Xin Wei month (辛未), it’s time to put your money where your mouth is and increase the social impact of what you do.
BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: CONTRIBUTE
Eating God sitting on Friend as the main Qi in the Earthly Branches can potentially bring you a lot of nobleman and support. Bolstered by this support, the Ji Earth Day Master has the chance to increase the social impact of your business or career.
Another way to interpret the Friend star producing the Eating God, is literally, “take what you know, and present it to the world”.
Guided by this principle, here are some ideas to use a month where your 7 Killings, Indirect Resource, Friend, and Eating God are at play:
Teach and educate others on topics you are passionate about. Not enough time to organize a workshop? Create tutorials, guides, or thought-provoking content on social media.
Strategize ways to turn your knowledge into a business that solves real-world problems.
Use your knowledge to advocate for causes you believe in. Better yet, show the world your compassion and commitment by volunteering or supporting charitable organizations.
Using charitable or social impact causes in marketing campaigns are nothing new. They are a common strategy used to show consumers that your business is here for the greater good. It shows you’ve got skin in the game. Many businesses do support a lot of charitable organizations. Most don’t even bother to advertise their involvement. But sometimes, used judiciously, you can create a bigger impact, not only for yourself but also for the charitable cause you support by roping in the contributions from more people.
And of course, from a personal standpoint, the benefits of volunteering are many. The very act of giving pays back with a boost in self confidence and personal breakthroughs.

In May 2024, one of the suggested strategies for the Ji Earth Day Master was to acquire more resources. The end goal was to create an uptick in self-confidence. We are going to need that self-confidence in June 2024’s Geng Wu (庚午) month. Because in June, we are going against the grain.
BUSINESS: BE CONTRARY IN YOUR MARKETING
If you are a business owner, a Hurting Officer month is always a month to go big with your marketing efforts. Challenge the status quo, push the envelope, do something that nobody else is doing.
Because this Hurting Officer month is supported by your Indirect Resource, do remember that you must be able to back up your claims with supported data, research or case studies. It’s not always about being contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian. But in general, because the Hurting Officer adores the limelight, be provocative, be unexpected, be spontaneous, delight us with something surprising.
CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: GET TRIGGERED (BUT IN A GOOD WAY)
When your Hurting Officer clashes against the Direct Officer, arguments ensue. At least, that’s the conservative interpretation of Bazi. But why is that? Because the Hurting Officer likes to be unrestrained, while the Direct Officer represents constrain. But we do have human agency, don’t we? Knowing this now, we can school our words to avoid arguments, can’t we?
Here’s the better potential for a month when your Hurting Officer counters your Direct Officer. It’s a good month to get triggered in a good way. Sometimes, we need negative triggers to spur us into action. Like getting dared to do something. With awareness, these types of negative triggers can push us to prove that we can, and by doing so, become better.
Someone once told me that I will NEVER succeed at becoming self employed. Never! That my destiny in life was to serve others and help others achieve success, and by doing so, hope to have some modicum of financial compensation for myself. Words cannot describe the rage I felt when I heard that. But instead of arguing, I channelled that rage into long hours of working on my own brand. Today, thanks to that trigger, guess what… I became self-employed!
If you are a Ji Earth Day Master, be on the lookout for those triggers in June 2024.

In May 2024, the Ji Earth Day Masters will see your Friend month meeting in a Direct Officer year.
TIME TO GET MORE RESOURCEFUL
A micro look into the Ji Si pillar sees your Direct Resource producing both your Rob Wealth and Friend star. For the naturally resourceful Ji Earth Day Masters, it’s an opportunity to get even more resourceful by either acquiring more knowledge, information and data.
Backed by this additional resource, expect an uptick in self confidence and even confidence in your own leadership as the new knowledge lends weight and gravitas to your words, self-expression, articulation, or personal branding.
TROT OUT THE CERTIFICATES
But what if you have no time to acquire more knowledge or invest time in research? Take you existing certification, time to post them somewhere!
LAUNCH AN EDUCATIONAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN?
Another possible strategy in May is to use the month’s energy for an educational marketing campaign. Or simply offer to teach a workshop – designed to showcase your abilities and expertise, of course!

For the Ji Earth Day Master, your role in April 2024 is to find the short cuts. In the fast-paced world of leadership, finding shortcuts (Indirect Wealth) to problems (7 Killings) can be a game-changer. While the idea of shortcuts may conjure up images of cutting corners or sacrificing quality, when used wisely, they can actually enhance leadership by increasing efficiency, boosting productivity, and fostering innovation.
INDIRECT WEALTH, 7 KILLINGS, ROB WEALTH
One key aspect of effective leadership is the ability to navigate complex challenges and find solutions quickly and efficiently. This requires a keen understanding of the problem at hand, as well as the creativity and resourcefulness to identify alternative approaches. By finding shortcuts – alternative paths that lead to the same or similar outcomes – leaders can streamline processes, save time and resources, and ultimately achieve better results (Indirect Wealth).
One way to find shortcuts is by leveraging technology and automation. By identifying repetitive tasks or processes that can be automated, leaders can free up time for themselves and their teams to focus on more strategic activities. For example, using project management software to streamline workflow or implementing AI-powered tools to analyze data can help leaders make more informed decisions in less time. Alternatively, when facing a time crunch, a Bazi practitioner happily leverages on ChatGPT to save time.
However, it’s important for leaders to exercise caution when seeking shortcuts. Not all shortcuts are beneficial, and some may lead to unintended consequences if not carefully considered. Leaders should always weigh the potential risks and rewards of any shortcut and ensure that it aligns with their overall goals and values.

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.

For the Ji Earth Day Master, the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon or Jia Chen, comes bearing gifts of authority, leadership and reputation. In this post, I outline the broad level strategies that can be derived from the arrival of this Annual Pillar, in the all important first year of Period 9.
DIRECT OFFICER YEAR: THE OUTCOME OF MY PRODUCTIVITY AND RESOURCEFULNESS
In Bazi, the Ji Earth is visualized as a fertile plot of land. Hence, Ji Earth Day Masters are often described as productive and resourceful.
Along comes the 2024 Jia Chen (甲辰) or Wood Dragon, plonking a tree right on your land.
The energies are almost saying, “Look everyone! This is what my land can grow. Here is the outcome of my productivity and resourcefulness. See how lush and beautiful this tree is? There’s room for more!”
In essence this tree represents a visual testament to your skills, talents and abilities. So how do we apply this scenario into real world strategies?
THE FLAGSHIP EFFECT
Direct Officer at the Heavenly Stem can be interpreted as your Reputation. Your Reputation sitting on, or controlling, the competition represented by your Rob Wealth, here is the opportunity to create a flagship product or service. This flagship product or service must offer powerful brand experiences that will leave a strong impact on brand attitude, brand attachment and brand equity. In short, flagships create a halo effect that trickles down to your other businesses or projects.
Alternatively, Direct Officer is Authority, while Rob Wealth represents teamwork or leadership. For career professionals, there is a possibility to grow your career by taking a lead part in a turnkey project. Your job, would be to find that turnkey project.
On a personal development level, there is a clear caution against adopting a ‘win-at-all-costs’ mindset. In this scenario, from the Ji Earth Day Master’s point of view, the benevolent Direct Officer energy is controlling or suppressing three aggressive energies represented by your Rob Wealth, 7 Killings and Indirect Wealth. Hence, the emphasis on more diplomacy to tone down the fireworks.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with wanting to win! However, this win-at-all-cost mindset (DO on RW) may create more unnecessary problems. Winning at all cost may work in the short term. But could be costly for long-term success. Like athletes who over-trains to the point of destroying their bodies just for one trophy. No meaning!
