November’s energy invites the Jia Wood Day Master to step up as a leader by sharing valuable insights and information. It’s a month to channel the flow of knowledge strategically, ensuring that it reaches the right people, fostering teamwork and growth. However, be cautious of becoming argumentative, unstable, or overly sensitive, as these traits can undermine your efforts.
Positive Influences: Lead Through Knowledge Sharing
Enhance Leadership with Knowledge: This month is perfect for strengthening your leadership skills by openly sharing insights and guiding others with your expertise. Whether in business, career, or personal interactions, your knowledge can be a powerful tool to inspire and direct others. The more generously you share, the more followers and supporters you’ll attract.
Channel Information Flow: Use your natural ability to direct and channel information effectively. Focus on getting the right insights to the right people, so they can work more efficiently for you. This strategic dissemination not only boosts productivity but also positions you as a trusted source of valuable knowledge.
Increase Influence: Sharing insights widely and strategically can increase your visibility and influence, whether it’s through social media, meetings, workshops, or personal interactions. Let your wisdom flow like branches spreading out, reaching more people and building stronger connections.
Potential Pitfalls: Stay Grounded and Balanced
Avoid Being Argumentative or Braggy: The urge to prove your knowledge or win debates can lead to unnecessary arguments. Be mindful of how you communicate, focusing on clarity and collaboration rather than dominating discussions.
Watch for Unstable Emotions: November’s energy can make you feel unstable or overly sensitive. Avoid becoming suspicious of others’ intentions or doubting your own capabilities. Stay grounded by focusing on facts, reliable feedback, and balanced communication.
Don’t Hoard Information: There might be a tendency to hold back knowledge out of fear of losing power or control. However, hoarding information can hinder both your growth and that of your team. Share generously to create a collaborative environment and maintain trust.
NOVEMBER 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS & CAREER: LEAD WITH INSIGHTFUL SHARING
In business, use your knowledge-sharing skills to inspire and motivate your team. Host regular meetings, create educational content, or provide training that improves team skills and performance. Your leadership will shine through your ability to guide others effectively with useful information.
Focus on channeling information strategically to ensure it reaches the right departments, partners, or clients. Whether it’s market insights, project updates, or new strategies, ensure that your communication enhances productivity and decision-making.
Use this month to increase your visibility through thought leadership. Share insights on social media, contribute to industry discussions, or participate in panels and workshops. This will not only boost your reputation but also attract new followers and business opportunities.
NOVEMBER 2024 JIA WOOD | PERSONAL: STAY GROUNDED
Use November’s energy to share personal insights with friends, family, or community members. Whether it’s knowledge about personal development, hobbies, or life lessons, your sharing can strengthen bonds and create deeper connections.
Be mindful of emotional stability. Engage in grounding practices such as meditation, journaling, or exercise to avoid becoming overly sensitive or reactive. Focus on calm communication and maintaining a balanced perspective in personal interactions.
Share what you’ve learned from your personal growth journey, whether it’s insights about health, relationships, or spirituality. By sharing freely, you not only enhance others’ growth but also reinforce your own learning.

It’s going to be a busy month for the Jia Wood Day Master, with numerous opportunities on the horizon. However, the key to navigating October successfully is staying focused on Return on Investment (ROI). With Friend sitting on the Indirect Wealth star, you’re likely to encounter a surge in partnership and business opportunities. While this can be exciting, it can also be overwhelming, especially when it’s hard to decide which path to pursue. The risk is spreading yourself too thin and losing sight of what truly matters.
OCTOBER 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS, CAREER, AND PERSONAL: THE ROI IS THE KEY
In both business and personal life, October’s energy brings many possibilities for growth. However, the key to success this month lies in prioritizing what will bring you the greatest ROI—whether that’s financial gains, time savings, or long-term value. With so many opportunities on your plate, it’s crucial to carefully evaluate which ventures are worth your time and energy.
If positive: The alignment of Friend and Indirect Wealth stars indicates a month filled with wealth-making opportunities. Partnerships and collaborations may come your way, offering new streams of income or expansion possibilities. If you’re able to focus on the ventures with the highest potential for profit, you’ll see significant returns.
If negative: Trying to juggle too many projects or commitments could affect your overall performance. Jia Wood’s nature is to grow and expand, but without focus, you risk exhausting your resources. Be mindful of overcommitting, as this can lead to inefficiency and burnout. Remember, not every opportunity is worth pursuing if it dilutes your effectiveness.
CONCLUSION: FOCUS ON HIGH-IMPACT OPPORTUNITIES
For Jia Wood Day Masters, October is about strategic focus. With numerous opportunities coming your way, it’s tempting to dive into every venture. However, staying grounded and focusing on the ROI will help you make the best choices. Prioritize the high-impact opportunities, and you’ll avoid the pitfalls of spreading yourself too thin.

For the Jia Wood Day Master, September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉) represents your Direct Resource sitting on your Direct Officer. Which makes this a good month to foster a collaborative environment, promote continuous learning, and enhance overall development.
On the positive spectrum, you may find that you could have the opportunity to tap into new resources by working with your peers and colleagues. For example, creating a shared database that everyone can use (best if you create it, monetize it, and then offer it to them, of course).
But you must be aware of the potential risk if the Gui You is a negative presence to your Bazi Chart. In this case, you may find yourself getting too stuck in the theoretical concepts and modelling stage, that you are unable to move forward.
SEPTEMBER 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: RESOURCE POOLING
September 2024 is all about resource pooling for the Jia Wood Day Master. Consider the following ideas:
Shared libraries, toolkits and templates – network your way into groups that are working together to establish digital and physical libraries, databases, toolkits and templates. Of course, don’t just take! If you want to take advantage of the Rooster’s Monthly Virtue, you need to contribute as well.
Collaborative platforms – establish your presence in online forums or communities where you can share your experiences and provide advice.
Networking Opportunities – host (not attend) networking events to facilitate connections and collaborations among affinity groups.
Collaboration Softwares – take advantage of the many collaboration software available in the market to make work more seamless for you, your team mates, and your staff.
Organize your data – if the above suggestion doesn’t stoke your fire, then at the very least, invest some time into organizing your data so that it is more accessible and useful to you.

In July, the Jia Wood Day Master had to keep your nose to the grindstone. It was do-or-die time. Now comes the August Ren Shen (壬申) which represents your Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings. By conservative Bazi interpretations, this is not an ideal configuration because there are quite a few potential threats.
The first is dormant health issues. After a month of hard work, it would be perfectly natural to feel that your energy is a bit low. August’s Ren Shen (壬申) month represents your Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings. When our energy is low, the first concern will always be health as the Indirect Resource can also represent health issues or illnesses. Therefore, we need to use the 7 Killings to get active, and stay active. Yes, I’m about to tell you to exercise. And if you need a break, by all means do so.
The second probable threat is the intense knee-jerk reaction the Indirect Resource on 7 Killings brings. The Indirect Resource represents our radar. In 2024, two of the Auxiliary Stars in the Monkey are the Five Ghost and Back Poking. Again, when energy is low, fear creeps in. You risk becoming overly suspicious, unduly sensitive to even the most banal off-the-cuff remarks, and it becomes so easy to feel like you are battling a lonely battle alone with no support from the people around you.
However, on the positive spectrum, this can be a month where you spend some time focusing on aligning your action (7 Killings) to your true calling or purpose (Indirect Resource).
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS: CREATE NEW TRENDS AND NEW EXCITEMENT
Business owners know that the market does not stop while you take a break. So for good or bad, this Ren Shen month must still be used in a productive manner. One way to use the Ren Shen’s Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings is to create new trends and new excitement in the market. Break out of the norm, share new discoveries, start a new ripple effect. In my previous career, Indirect Resource sitting on 7 Killings is called ‘Breaking News. Follow for more updates.’
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | BUSINESS AND CAREER: ON-GROUND MARKET SENTIMENTS
A month where your Indirect Resource is sitting on your 7 Killings can be very hectic. Expect to see recurring issues popping up, small inconveniences and annoyances. Since it’s going to be hectic, instead of taking a passive stance, let’s be pro-active about using this month.
Create a market tour where you visit as many key customers as you can. Re-build the relationship. Listen to their complaints. Learn the sentiments on ground. Understand their unique challenges. While on the surface, it may sound like they are attacking you with endless complaints, but as long as a customer is still complaining, you’ve still got a chance. This is where the support of your hidden Indirect Wealth is going to come in handy. These conversations might spark a new idea on how you can improve your service, business, and profitability.
AUGUST 2024 JIA WOOD | PERSONAL: THE ULTIMATE USE OF A 7 KILLINGS
In a month when your 7 Killings star is strong, the automatic reaction is to feel like you are constantly under attack. A lot of petty people, small issues, all reinforced by the presence of the Five Ghosts and Back Poking. Every day becomes a battle, swimming in an endless tide of negativity. Exhausting! Then this triggers the Indirect Resource’s natural inclination for solitude and quiet.
But let’s talk about the ultimate use of a 7 Killings star. It’s about the ability to decide, “I’m done with this shit.” Let me stress, that I’m not advocating that you quit. But what you can do is to decide that from this moment on, you will no longer allow these negativity to affect you anymore.
Since the 7 Killings can also represent freedom (specifically freedom to act), the ability to choose and curate how we feel is the ultimate freedom. This single decision alone can be very empowering.

In June 2024’s Geng Wu (庚午) month, the Jia Wood Day Master had the chance to clear off some of the competition, to leave yourselves with some room to play and grow. Assuming that you have launched something in June, now the hard work begins. In July’s Xin Wei (辛未), as your Direct Officer comes paired with your Direct Wealth, you need to put your money where your mouth is and deliver what you’ve promised.
BUSINESS, CAREER AND PERSONAL: DO OR DIE
The Jia Wood Day Master may have cleared off a patch of empty land for more growth, but there is no denying that, from the perspective of the Jia Wood, July 2024’s Xin Wei month is looking very much like a barren piece of land. From a pictorial perspective, it looks like a tree trying to grow in a hostile environment with limited resources. Hence, the lessons in adaptability.
Which means that, in July, the Jia Wood Day Master will need to deliver, in spite of any limitations to your resources. To do that, you first need to be the best in your niche:
Rob Wealth – Community and interdependence. Tap into the support networks you have created – family, friends, colleagues, neighbours – to seek for cooperation and support.
Hurting Officer – Agility and competitiveness. Plug into your Hurting Officer’s innate agility to react fast to changing circumstances, and let the Hurting Officer’s natural competitive streak to prove everyone else wrong motivate you.
Direct Wealth – Sustainability. Be a good steward of your resource – whether it is water, time, energy or even emotions. Deliver what matters first. The frills can wait.
Direct Officer – Discipline and structure. No doubt about it. A lot of discipline is called for in July. Just know that all these efforts will surely pay off in the end.
Remember how we talked about axing your self-sabotage in June’s forecast? Now you know why…

Did you know that Jia Wood Day Masters have an iron will? Of course! Your 7 Killings is literally Geng Metal! June 2024 brings that iron will, that tough, no-nonsense 7 Killings to the Heavenly Stems. It’s time to set your steely iron will on fire!
BUSINESS AND CAREER: GET THAT BUZZ GOING
Remember how in May 2024, one of the strategies was to play it cool. Business as usual on the surface, while you prepare something awesome to launch? June is the time for that launch. With your 7 Killings star simultaneously forged by your Ding Fire Hurting Officer and produced by your Ji Earth Direct Wealth, now is the time to announce something exciting and innovative to gain a competitive edge.
Imagine this with me. You’re a tree growing happily on a nice big (ish) patch of land. Suddenly in 2024, a whole bunch of other trees came around and started crowding you. Imagine if you could suddenly, in June, sprout a flaming sword from one of your branches! I know we’re teetering on the edge of fantasy, but just humour me. What would you (the tree) do with that flaming sword? Chop down the nearest trees to give yourself some space, of course!
Based on the analogy above, it’s like staking out your piece of ground, isn’t it? The objective of this announcement or launch should be aimed at giving yourself room to play.
With that, I’m looking forward to seeing many Jia Wood active in June 2024!
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: AXE THAT SELF-SABOTAGE
A flaming sword in a Jia Wood’s hands can either cut outwards or cut inwards. In the sphere of personal development, the Geng Wu (庚午) month creates an ideal environment to axe that self-sabotage once and for all.
We all self-sabotage for different reasons and in different ways. For some, it’s perfectionism and unrealistic expectations. For others, it could be fear of failure leading to procrastination. Or perhaps a fear of change? Whatever your reason may be, know that if you are ready to take action, June 2024’s monthly energy is offering you some much-needed support.

Confronted by the arid conditions of the May 2024 Ji Si month, most Jia Wood Day Masters will automatically start to conserve their resources.
Which is why the April strategy (which was to work on the Jia Wood’s Unique Value Proposition), was so important. For in May, it starts to feel like many are coming to share in a piece of your land.
But beneath the staid surface of your Ji Earth Direct Wealth, bubbles an exciting combination of energies:
Your Eating God with its penchant for strategy and playing the long game
Your Indirect Wealth with its entrepreneurial instincts
Your 7 Killings with its ruthless ambition and iron discipline
BUSINESS AS USUAL
Naturally then, a possible strategy for the Jia Wood Day Master in May 2024 is to present a ‘business as usual’ front, while working on something exciting and bold behind the scenes, ready to be launched… perhaps in June? After all, isn’t that what the Jia Wood does best? Periods of seeming inactivity followed by a burst of growth!
So in May 2024, with your Eating God producing Direct Wealth, why not put some time aside to focus on wealth generating ideas?
GIVE THE GRUNT WORK TO OTHERS
Alternatively, the Direct Wealth also represents responsibilities. When your Direct Wealth meets the Friend star on the Heavenly Stems, it may feel like your peers are encroaching into your territory. Let ‘em! Let others help you shoulder the load, leaving you free to plan your next move.
Or, you could divest some of that responsibility, while retaining the role of the planner and delegator. The Direct Wealth is not known as “The Director” for nothing, you know! Give the grunt work to others, you hold on to the role as the planner, the strategy maker, and the overall general-in-chief. For in June 2024, that Killings star will show up on the Heavenly Stems. Get ready!

The Jia Wood Day Master sees a Friend star in the year. Suddenly, the forest feels mighty congested. The only way for a tree to stand out among a forest of trees is to either branch out or grow taller. In human terms, we define this as acquiring more talents. In that case, April 2024 which represents your Indirect Wealth month, becomes a perfect time to perfect your Unique Value Proposition.
DIRECT RESOURCE, ROB WEALTH, INDIRECT WEALTH
In today’s competitive job market, professional landscape and business world, it’s more important than ever to define and articulate your unique value proposition. Your unique value proposition (UVP) is what sets you apart from others in your field and helps you stand out to potential employers, clients, or collaborators.
Your unique value proposition is a combination of your skills, experiences, and qualities (Direct Resource) that make you uniquely valuable to others. It’s about identifying what makes you different from others in your field and how you can leverage that uniqueness to achieve your goals. Your UVP should be authentic and based on your true strengths and passions.
To define your UVP, start by identifying your strengths and passions. What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? Reflect on your past experiences and accomplishments to identify patterns and themes. Consider seeking feedback from others, such as mentors, colleagues, or friends, to gain a different perspective on your strengths and areas for improvement.
Your UVP should align with your professional goals and aspirations (Indirect Wealth). Consider what you want to achieve in your career and how your unique value proposition can help you get there. For example, if you’re passionate about using technology to solve complex problems, your UVP might be your ability to simplify technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
Once you’ve defined your UVP, it’s important to communicate it effectively to others (Rob Wealth). This can be done through your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, or personal website. Use specific examples and stories to illustrate your unique value proposition and demonstrate how it has contributed to your past successes.
Your unique value proposition is not static; it can evolve over time as you gain new experiences and skills. It’s important to regularly revisit and refine your UVP to ensure that it remains relevant and compelling. Seek out new opportunities for growth and development that align with your unique value proposition.

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.

What opportunities does the 2024 Wood Dragon or Jia Chen (甲辰) bring to the Jia Wood Day Master? In a nutshell, it’s a year for upgrades and upskills.
FRIEND YEAR: FEELS A LITTLE CROWDED
In Bazi, Jia Wood is visualized as a tree. The Jia Chen or Wood Dragon is also visualized as a tree on a mountain. So, from the perspective of the Jia Wood Day Master, suddenly the environment just got a little more crowded. Being crowded in left, right and centre, all these other trees fighting for precious resources and room to grow.
Suddenly, you feel like you are one among many. How then can you distinguish yourself? Well, for a tree, there are two ways – either it grows taller, or it grows bigger.
Why am I showing you a picture like this? Because Bazi is a visual art. After all the technical whatnots have been learnt, your Bazi Chart presents itself as a picture. How the arrival of the 2024 Wood Dragon year adds or detracts to that original picture, is the ‘artform’ that is the core of a Bazi practice.
THE PEER EFFECT
But obviously, Jia Wood Day Master notwithstanding, you are a human being and not a tree. So how does this scenario translate? 2024 is the year for the Jia Wood Day Master to upgrade and upskill so that you grow head and shoulders above the rest of your peers. To grow bigger, a tree pushes out more branches – which represent talents in a human life. Therefore, 2024 is the year for the Jia Wood Day master to acquire more talents.
For the business owners, there is an opportunity to branch out by creating a business that is related to your core. However, there is a caution here. Be careful you don’t inadvertently cannibalize your own existing products or services.
And of course, Jia Wood Day Masters meeting a Friend year, at the most basic level of interpretation, is the opportunity to connect with a new network of friends.
