2024 AND LIFE GUA 1 | INFLUENCE

For the Life Gua 1 individual, the external theme of 2024 is carried on the Influence hexagram. The Influence hexagram is a hexagram of give and take, of continuous dialogue and conversation. But more, it’s giving you, the Life Gua 1 individual, the opportunity to touch emotions and hearts.

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 1 AND THE INFLUENCE HEXAGRAM

The Influence Hexagram is comprised of Dui (Lake) at the top representing communications and dialogue, and the Gen trigram (Mountain) below representing stillness. The Dui trigram also represents a young girl, while the Gen trigram represents a young man. These two coming together, is a Peach Blossom hexagram – suggesting two young people coming together to influence each other’s lives.

Think of it this way – a young couple meets, they partner, and as they grow together in life, they are mutually influencing each other. We always expect the man to be the dominant partner (well, not quite in Period 9), but in this hexagram, the girl is on top. This infers the subtle influence a wife has on her husband. This is not a guy who is hen-pecked. Far from it. Instead, it is the guy (the assertive), intentionally deferring to the girl (the receptive). Isn’t this the basis of all rom-coms?

Pictorially, this hexagram forms a picture of a Lake on a Mountain. Eventually, this water will find a path down the mountain, and where the water flows, that is where life is. The path of the water will influence the mountain, just as the mountain influences the shape and path of the water. Neither one is dominant. Both are influencing each other in a subtle manner.

INFLUENCE HEXAGRAM FOR CAREER

In terms of career development, the Influence hexagram can mean that 2024 is bringing you the opportunity to expand the sphere of your professional influence. How do we do that? The Dui trigram is all about talking – by creating dialogue, sharing knowledge, sharing information, guiding others, and many more.

The Influence hexagram is all about soft power and persuasion. It’s about the continuous dialogue until an agreement is found. As long as dialogue can continue, there is always hope.

INFLUENCE HEXAGRAM FOR BUSINESS

From a business perspective, the Influence hexagram is also about the ability to touch hearts and minds. Here is the opportunity to magnify the impact of what you do through activities that carry some form of social impact – like CSR or social advocacy. Think of the co-dependent relationship between a K-pop band and their army of followers. One cannot exist without another. But together, they are a force to be reckoned with.

The Influence hexagram is also an opportunity to engage in marketing strategies that engages with your audience’s emotions and feelings. We’re all exposed to too many advertisements in a day. The most memorable ones are the ones that evoke a certain feeling – joy, hope, surprise, delight, humour, laughter! Listen, if you can make me laugh, your sale is halfway done.

Another business opportunity from the Influence hexagram – the opportunity to get a dialogue started with your customers or consumers. Typical example? User-Generated Content. Encourage your customers to share their experiences with your product or service. Create content through crowd-sourced ideas. Allow your audience to have a certain influence over your social media channels.

INFLUENCE HEXAGRAM FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

On a personal development front, the Influence hexagram can mean an expanded recognition of interconnectedness between us and others. As you seek to influence others, so do they too, influence you. Who’s influencing whom? Not sure! Depends! Remember, the Influence hexagram means there is a mutual influence at play here.

Which leads us to a bit of a warning…

CAUTION: SCAM ALERT

Depending on the situation, the Influence hexagram can mean a scam is underfoot. In all this, some common sense is really required. As I’ve mentioned previously, with a mutually influencing hexagram, as you seek to influence others, so too will others seek to influence you. Your intentions may be good, but a certain level of healthy scepticism is called for when you feel that others are trying to manipulate you in a given situation.

But, we can’t let one caution stop us from making the most of 2024. So here’s to a year of growth for you, as you increase the impact of what you are doing for the good of all!

LIFE GUA 1 RECEIVING STAR 8

And in 2024, coming into your home base is the hardworking Flying Star 8!

8 is still a wealth star, ok? It is dimming in Period 9. Which means that the attributes equated with Star 8 – diligence, hardworking, industriousness – are becoming old fashioned.

Which also means that there are no short cuts to success. Whatever you want – be it business growth or career progression – you need to work for it.

THE GIFTS OF LIFE GUA 1

Element: Water

Male (year of birth): 1927, 1936, 1945, 1963, 1972, 1981, 1990, 1999, 2008

Female (year of birth): 1923, 1932, 1941, 1950, 1959, 1968, 1977, 1986, 1995, 2004

COMMON LIFE GUA 1 CHARACTERISTICS

Colourless, formless, adaptable, and flexible, Life Star 1 or Gua 1 carries all the common characteristics associated with the Water element. A fluid intelligence and creativity tops the list.

There is always a fascinating duality to the Water element. Water can either be still or moving. When Water is still, this reflects the more reticent, reflective, and secretive parts of your personality. When the dam is removed and Water starts flowing, you become virtually unstoppable. Like a hidden mountain spring gushing into a waterfall, you will ride rough shot over obstacles, impatient to get to the sea.

But still or moving, all Gua 1 individuals share a single commonality – the tendency to seek out the path of least resistance. You are the best at going with the flow, confident that you will always find your way.

Better yet, Gua 1 individuals are superb at discovering solutions that are not always immediately visible to others. This gift comes from Water’s ability to think laterally. This is the ability to blend theory with practice, unencumbered by norms, rules and regulations – the ultimate gift of freedom of thought.

LIFE GUA 1 AT WORK

At work, Gua 1 individuals tend to show their more diplomatic side. Remember how Water prefers to go with the flow? Seeking out conflict is certainly not your way. There is, however, a deep need for spontaneity and autonomy. How can you possibly enjoy freedom of thought when you are constantly boxed in by rules?

LIFE GUA 1 AT PLAY

Socially, Gua 1 individuals easily blend into any existing ecosystem. This is where the adaptive power of Water is most apparent. Getting to know you is easy. Learning to understand you, is a whole different kettle of fish.

LIFE GUA 1 IN LOVE

In relationships, Gua 1 individuals tend to be very observant and sensual. However, there is a side of you that will present as cold and aloof. Water is, after all, the star of emotions. And emotions is what you have plenty of. Because the depth of your feelings scare even you sometimes, you have developed a self-defensive knack of keeping others at arm’s length. This level of inscrutability comes at a cost. It’s difficult for those who care for you to figure out what you actually think, thereby, making it hard for them to support you.

LIFE GUA 1 FAVOURABLE FACING DIRECTIONS

These are generic personal facing directions, and is one of the easiest Feng Shui methods to apply. It’s just a matter of shifting your laptop to face the direction you want.

Sheng Qi (Life Generating): Southeast

Use this direction for general advancement and growth in life. This direction works well for any business, career, or wealth-related pursuits.

Tian Yi (Heavenly Doctor): East

This direction is good for enhancing your mentor luck. If this direction is to be used in the bedroom, this is a good boost for your general physical wellbeing. Face this direction if you are looking to enhance your personal branding. This direction amps up your persuasive skill, and will have some impact on how you are perceived by others.

Yan Nian (Longevity): South

South is a great direction to build smooth interpersonal relationships whether at home or in the office. In short, it’s great for networking. If you are working in a career or business that requires multiple interactions with people from all walks of life, this direction will help you boost your career.

Fu Wei (Stability): North

If it is deep focus and concentration you need, North is the direction to face while planning, working, studying, researching, or creating. Anything that requires concentration, really. If you are into the art of meditation, facing North while meditating can help you achieve calm and serenity much faster.

SUGGESTED SECTORS FOR 2023

Now that you understand the gifts of Life Gua 1 and how to use your personal favourable directions, based on the 2023 Flying Stars, here are some suggested sectors to use in 2023. Please note that when we say use, it literally means to carry out a certain activity within that sector of your home. On that note, please be practical. If a particular sector is missing from your home, then just be very Star 1, and find another way!

North (recommended): Use this sector to gain recognition for your talents and contribution. In 2023, for you the Gua 1 individual in particular, this is the sector that is most usable for career advancement. If you are a business owner, boosting recognition for your contribution can help attract partnerships your way.

West (recommended): Use the West sector if you need a boost to turn your many Gua 1 ideas into reality. In short, this is the sector to make things happen.

Centre: If you need an environment that is conducive to learning and research, the centre of your home is the best place to be in 2023.

The above three sectors (North, West and Centre) are the less stressful sectors to use. But sometimes, we have to take some hardship in order to create a breakthrough. The following four directions will be a little more stressful.

South: Star 8 in the South in 2023 boosts wealth prospects by increasing your productivity and workload. It can help you make money, but the activity may not be to your liking. Use this sector for the delivery of your services.

Northeast: If you feel that boosting your likability will help achieve your goals in 2023, the Northeast is the sector to use for any activities related to networking. Remember? Gua 1 personalities can be a little reticent. If you have always been burdened by more than your fair share of shyness, this sector is a good boost for your communications skills.

Southeast: If you have everything prepared, and all you need is that final courage to breakthrough, courageous Star 3 in the Southeast in 2023, is the sector to use. Use this sector for any activities where you challenge yourself to do better. Be mindful though, Star 3 increases the likelihoods of arguments and temper tantrums. So please be mindful of that.

East: If you need directions. If you need people to tell you what to do, East is the sector to use. Mind you, this sector can be quite stressful. To benefit from this, you must be open to advice.

SIDE NOTE: HOW TO DETERMINE SECTORS IN YOUR HOUSE

Simply, stand in the middle of your house. Face the door. Use the compass app in your mobile device and turn to look for the relevant sector that you intend to use. Once identified, just do the activity related to the objective.

2023 AND LIFE STAR 1: REFORM

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results. There comes a time when a revamp is required. An internal revolution, if you will, to improve our lives.

The Reform hexagram carries the Dui (Lake) on top, and Li (Fire) at the bottom. Like a geyser or hot water springs, pressure is building up to the point where something’s gotta give.

It’s a time of transformation and evolution.

This is especially true if you have been on cruising mode for the longest time. Consider the Reform hexagram as a firm nudge forward. You are being challenged to step up and leave your comfort zone, re-asses your situation and re-evaluate what can be done differently.

And the most significant change will happen if this creates an internal revolution, if you successfully reform your thinking patterns and attitude. So with the arrival of the Reform Hexagram in your life, it’s time to take stock and review old habits or methods. Reform how you view changes in your life. When that switch happens, better things will come.

On a side note, the 9-7 is a Peach Blossom combination. So if you don’t know what else to change, at least consider changing your marketing methods or how you promote yourself professionally.

The arrival of Star 9 in a Life Star 1 life also creates a ‘Combo-10’ which makes 2023 a good year for collaborative efforts and partnerships.
