This is it. The final month before we officially welcome Period 9 and the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon. Almost feels like being a runner at the starting line, doesn’t it? But actually, that’s not quite true. Energy doesn’t work that way. It’s a continuous flow. What we sow today, we reap tomorrow. What’s so special about January 2024 and the month of the Wood Ox (乙丑)? It’s a continuation of December and the bridge to February. For the Ji Earth Day Master, it represents your 7 Killings month.
7 KILLINGS MONTH: STRESS? OR ADVENTURE?
In traditional Bazi readings, the 7 Killings is often equated with problems, danger, stress, disasters, hardship, and fear. Yet, in the principle of the Yin and Yang, the 7 Killings also has its positive attributes such as opportunities, power, growth, excitement, adventure, and courage. Which side of the equation presents itself typically depends on whether a 7 Killings is favourable or unfavourable your Bazi Chart.
But wait a minute! At the end of the day, what is favourable or unfavourable? It basically means whether you like something or you dislike something. In other words, our mindsets and perceptions are the ones that label the 7 Killings as either problems or opportunities.
To truly understand the 7 Killings, we need to think back to the days when this art was first created. Back then, the world was a wilder and much more dangerous place. At that time, a 7 Killings means that you are walking up the mountain and you come face to face with a tiger. Avoidance tactics don’t really work then, does it? You’d better be running for your life. Instant, knee-jerk action is required. But what are your odds of meeting a tiger tomorrow? It’d be a 100% if you’d visit the zoo!
So in the modern world, the 7 Killings has become synonymous with stress. Stress adds up when we persist on regarding the obstacles as insurmountable. To cope, those of us living in today’s modern world have created a plethora of avoidance tactics. Some will use distractions like social media. Others happily engage in denial.
For the Ji Earth Day Master, the most likely avoidance tactic is procrastination. Because this 7 Killings is akin to having many people, issues or obstacles, digging into you. Not pleasant. Hence, procrastination. As in, “It’s not like I’m not going to take action! I’m just taking action… tomorrow!” And then tomorrow never comes.
One of the most effective and empowering ways to alleviate stress is literally what the 7 Killings is built for – taking action. All my Bazi readings are centred around creating strategies to encourage my clients to take some action, no matter how small. Like seriously, don’t snub the small actions. They snowball into bigger effects.
And for the Ji Earth Day Master that loves playing within a group dynamics…
INTRODUCING THE INNOVATION CAFE
Grab a bunch of likeminded friends or contacts, people who share a similar goal or objective, and create an Innovation Café. This is where the group meets monthly in a casual setting to discuss ideas over coffee.
This is not necessarily about working together. The idea of the innovation café is to create an environment where you, the Ji Earth Day Master, is surrounded by people who are on the same path as you are.
Let’s take a common example. Hypothetically, let’s say you are a full-time parent looking to start a home business that can fit into your home schedule. Seek out a group of similar parents (moms or dads), and propose a regular meet-up. Perhaps at the coffee shop located conveniently close to the school? Here, you meet, talk, discuss ideas, find solutions to common problems, support each other, act as accountability coaches to each other. Like a group of adventurers embarking on their own individual adventures, but still supported.
How long should these meet-ups go for? As long as you still enjoy it? This is, after all, a month’s energy. So the January 2024 Ji Chou month is a good time to initiate this idea. Because we are always more likely to start something new or scary when we see others do the same.
Isn’t that a great way to start the New Year? Oh, and in that vein, here’s me wishing you a very Happy New Year in 2024.
