For the Life Gua (or Life Star) 7 individual, the external theme of 2024 is governed by the Increasing hexagram. It’s a hint that things are about to happen, real soon, real fast! The concept of ‘wind’ and ‘wind-related metaphors’ is going to play a big part in this sharing. I’ll try not to be too much of a windbag.
THE YEAR REPLACE YEAR HEXAGRAM CHART
In Chinese Metaphysics, there are many ways in which the annual energy can be analyzed. Of course, the most popular are the Zodiac signs. Beyond that, we also have broad-level strategies for the 10 Day Masters. But Bazi decodes how an individual (the Chart owner) interacts with the world. In this new series, by using the Year Replace Year Hexagram method, we decode the external energy coming to each of the individual Life Gua. In a simplified manner, you could say that this is your theme in 2024.
LIFE GUA 7 AND THE INCREASING HEXAGRAM
The Increasing Hexagram is derived of Wind at the top, representing progress and speed, with the Thunder trigram at the bottom, representing action and growth. Like a hurricane picking up speed, the effect of the Increasing hexagram really depends on your current situation.
If you are on an upswing, the Increasing hexagram can mean that it is time to go full force. The tailwind is behind you, and it’s about to push you into stratosphere. On the other hand, if an individual is on a downward spiral, the Increasing hexagram is not a blessing. Because all hexagrams are neutral. Their interpretation is derived from the current scenario and from the question asked during the forecast.
Pictorially, we can interpret the Increasing hexagram as a tree bending before the force of a gale. This picture calls to mind the message that, even as we stay grounded and rooted to our principles, we must be able to roll with the punches. Because the combination of Wind over Thunder represents dynamic energy and a forceful push toward progress.
INCREASING HEXAGRAM FOR CAREER
In the context of career development, the Increasing hexagram can bring opportunities for professional advancement. The winds of change are stirring, and their momentum presents a favourable climate if you are attuned to the currents of growth. Now is the time to prepare and position yourself to ride these winds of change.
It is not merely a time for personal advancement but an opportunity to harness the power of the Increasing hexagram to elevate the collective fortunes of your team or organization. By embracing the winds of change, you, as a Life Gua 7 individual, have the potential to influence and uplift those around you, creating a ripple effect that resonates throughout your professional sphere.
As the winds gain momentum, strategic leadership becomes paramount. This is not a moment for passive observation but a call to action. Astute decision-making and innovative approaches are required. Beyond individual achievements, the Increasing hexagram signals the potential for impactful contributions that can shape the trajectory of your entire team or organization. For those who can navigate these winds of change skilfully, and contribute to the collective rise, 2024 is yours for the taking.
INCREASING HEXAGRAM FOR BUSINESS
From the business perspective, the Increasing hexagram also heralds a rapidly changing business environment. For this, I’d like to use the example of an aeroplane in flight. When an aeroplane encounters headwinds, there will be increased drag and increased flight time. But when an aeroplane flies with a favourable tailwind, drag is decreased resulting in reduced flight time and improved economies of scale.
But the wind is the wind. Whether it is a headwind or tailwind depends on the direction that the aircraft is heading. In business, headwinds can be either macro or microeconomic by nature. Example: inflation, poor economic outlook, increasing interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, government policies, and many others. Similarly, the tailwind can represent favourable politics and legislation, economic growth, market receptibility, etc.
Regardless of headwind or tailwind, both scenarios call for innovation and strategic expansion. If your business is facing a lot of headwind, you will need to innovate your way out of that route. If your business is experiencing a strong tailwind in your favour, then all the more reason to go full force with your expansion plans.
Of course, apart from innovation, you must also have the resources and wherewithal at hand in order to capitalize on the progress. Because like the wind, this period of Increase, may just be a short duration. Blink and you might miss it! So timing, is also very important with the Increase hexagram – knowing exactly when to jump on the bandwagon.
INCREASING HEXAGRAM FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Increasing hexagram is not a fantastic hexagram for health matters. So in the face of a busy year, please ensure that you set apart time for rest, rejuvenation and to recharge your batteries. Why is that so? Both the Wind and Thunder trigrams are of the Wood element. When Wood is strong, Water, which is resource to Wood, will inevitably be weak.
While the Increasing hexagram is not favourable to quiet quitting, neither should you be working to the point of exhaustion.
But back to the picture of a tree bending before the force of a gale. If you were the tree, this scenario would feel mighty scary, isn’t it? Therefore, in terms of personal development, the Increasing hexagram could bring you the impetus to fix your own insecurities. To invest the necessary time and effort to make yourself stronger, more flexible, more adaptable, and as a consequence, more resilient.
PREPARATION MATTERS
Preparedness takes center stage when faced with the prospect of the Increasing hexagram. In this context, being prepared entails not only recognizing the potential for growth and advancement but also actively gearing up to seize the moment. The window of opportunity, though promising, may be transient. This necessitates a state of readiness to capitalize on the favourable conditions when they align. Imagine, the winds are favourable, but your airplane is not fuelled! OMG!
LIFE GUA 7 RECEIVING STAR 5
And in 2024, coming into your home base is the gangsta Flying Star 5.
Remember we spoke about how the Increasing hexagram is not great for health?
So make sure you stay adequately rested. Give priority to your own health and mental balance. Your emotions will tell you when you need a break – if you constantly feel out of sorts and disgruntled, it’s time for a short break.
And of course, please don’t trigger the 5? At the risk of repeating myself, ok to use.. no hacking, no drilling, no banging walls.
