If in April the Ren Water Day Master finds yourself being forced into a course of action that is not of your choosing, then May 2024’s Bazi Chart brings a chance to turn the tides.
The Ren Water Day Master has an interesting relationship with your Direct Officer star. The Direct Officer gives form and structure to the formless Ren Water. But at the same time, the force of the Ren Water can also erode and change the shape of its banks. If you’ve ever wondered where the Ren Water’s rebelling streak comes from, this is the underlying reason.
So in May comes a chance for the Ren Water to create a new current or flow. Like a river irrigating a semi-arid landscape, where the Ren Water flows, new life begins. How then, can we use May 2024’s energy to forward your goals?
STATUTORY-RELATED ACTIVITIES
For one, May 2024 is a good month for the Ren Water Day Master to complete any statutory-related or government-related activities. I’m talking taxes, permits, licenses, and such. But as you do so, use your Bing Fire Indirect Wealth to keep an eye on the big picture. Don’t just apply for the immediate permits you need. You may want to have the foresight to ensure that your licenses can also support future growth plans.
TIME FOR A SOFT LAUNCH
If you are ready with your concepts, the energy of May 2024 is also good for a soft launch. Here again, we are using the primary Qi of the month’s energy – creating new business opportunities (Indirect Wealth) from your existing field of expertise (Direct Officer).
MODIFY THE JOB DESCRIPTION?
For the career professional, May 2024 gives you the opportunity to modify the scope of your responsibilities (Direct Officer). But note that it’s not about changing for the sake of changing. We are looking to modify the job description so that your current responsibilities or focus at work is more aligned to your future vision. I’m not referring to a wholesale change of job description. More like de-focusing on some areas, and more priorities on others.
But with your Wu Earth 7 Killings still hanging about, do expect to meet with some resistance and problems. It wouldn’t be fun, otherwise, would it?

The Ren Water Day Master has an interesting relationship with your Wu Earth 7 Killings star. While yes, we don’t like the 7 Killings because it may mean problems, but for the Ren Water Day Master, your Wu Earth 7 Killings brings an added benefit in the form of guidance. In a month where you see Eating God in the Year and 7 Killings in the Month, expect to feel your creativity being channelled into a specific direction.
ROB WEALTH, HURTING OFFICER, 7 KILLINGS
Creativity is a powerful force that drives innovation, fosters personal growth, and fuels passion. However, the process of creativity can sometimes feel elusive or overwhelming. This is where the concept of guided creativity comes into play, offering a structured approach to unleashing your creative potential.
Guided creativity provides a framework or set of guidelines to help channel your creative energy in a productive and focused manner. It’s about balancing freedom and structure, allowing you to explore new ideas while staying grounded in a clear direction. This approach can be particularly useful when facing creative block or when working on complex projects that require innovative solutions.
One of the key benefits of guided creativity is that it helps you stay on track and maintain momentum. By providing a roadmap for your creative journey, guided creativity ensures that you don’t get lost in the process or lose sight of your goals. It also helps you stay organized and efficient, maximizing your creative output.
Guided creativity can also help you overcome fear and self-doubt. When you have a clear framework to guide you, it’s easier to take risks and experiment with new ideas. This can lead to breakthroughs and discoveries that might not have been possible otherwise.
Another benefit of guided creativity is that it can enhance collaboration and teamwork. By providing a common framework for creative exploration, guided creativity can help team members align their efforts and work towards a shared vision. This can lead to more cohesive and innovative outcomes.
So, how can you harness the power of guided creativity in your own life? Start by defining clear goals and objectives for your creative endeavors. This will provide a roadmap for your creative journey and help you stay focused and motivated. Next, explore different techniques and tools for guided creativity, such as brainstorming exercises, mind mapping, or creative prompts. These can help stimulate your imagination and guide your creative process in new and exciting directions.

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.

If you are a Ren Water Day Master, the 2024 Jia Chen (甲辰) or Wood Dragon year is a special formation for you –the Eating God Suppressing Sha formation.
Straight up, this creates two possibilities. Firstly, heightened willingness to turn ideas into action. Secondly, it also enhances your ability to take guided action, being pro-active instead of reactive.
EATING GOD YEAR: A RENEWED SENSE OF PURPOSE
The arrival of the 2024 Jia Chen or Wood Dragon year forms a very different picture for the Ren Water Day Master. Ren Water is always visualized as a large body of water such as the sea, lakes, rivers. Along comes this green mountain that forms a canyon around the Water.
Suddenly, this Water has a direction, it has a sense of purpose.
In our day to day lives, this scenario can be equated as a renewed sense of purpose for the Ren Water Day master. It’s like you have been on free flow for the past two years. It’s time to consolidate what you have learnt into a direction or purpose.
THE PURPOSE EFFECT
With this renewed sense of purpose comes a better willingness to turn your ideas into action. Therefore, 2024 is a year for execution. To start putting your strategy into tactical plans.
Due to the connectivity of your Jia Wood Eating God, another plausible strategy is to create new ways to interact with and funnel your target audience.
And finally, being controlled is never pleasant for most freedom-loving Ren Water Day Masters. Therefore, if nothing else, if the other three possible strategies don’t appeal to you, at least be open to guidance.

Ren Water Day Masters may be feeling the first stirrings of restlessness in January 2024’s month of the Wood Ox (乙丑). Let’s dissect that feeling right here.
In Chinese Metaphysics, February, the month of the Tiger (寅) heralds the coming of spring when the snow starts to melt. January, or the month of the Ox (丑), represents the final month of winter. While it is still cold in January, imperceptibly, the temperature starts to increase before it dips back down again. This phenomenon is called the January Thaw. A temporary warming that can lead to a partial or temporary thawing of ice and snow.
But what does this mean for the Ren Water Day Master? Very likely, you feel the first ripples of unsettledness. How you respond to this feeling, is how we can make the most of January 2024’s energy for you, the Ren Water Day Master.
HURTING OFFICER MONTH: STREET-SMART? OR JUST PLAIN REBEL?
While a Hurting Officer month on the surface, the energy of the Yi Chou (乙丑) begins with your Ji Earth (己) Direct Officer star. Of the 5 Yang Day Masters, the Ren Water alone has an interesting reaction to your Direct Officer star. Ren Water, meeting its Ji Earth Direct Officer, has the capacity to erode the Ji Earth. Think of how powerful bodies of water can change coastal lines. At the surface level, this is the Ren Water Day Master’s reputation for being adventurous and free-spirited. Look a little deeper, and we can appreciate that this is the Ren Water Day Master’s ability to change systems and break down barriers.
But the Hurting Officer sitting on Direct Officer is a negative formation! In the classic texts, that is. It’s considered a negative because the Hurting Officer tends to be argumentative by nature. This argumentative streak causes problems when you run up against direct authority. But again, this assumes that we have no control over our own behaviour.
Hence, in January 2024, the need to channel that Hurting Officer energy into street-smart resourcefulness instead of being a rebel who disrupts just for the sake of disruptions. Street-smart individuals are able to navigate changes within existing systems. This is a smart use of the Hurting Officer energy. Rebels, on the other hand, are just resisting for no reason. That would be a silly use of the Hurting Officer.
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS
We all face different types of barriers in our everyday lives – income, time, health, psychological, gender, race, language, resources, and more! Granted, some barriers are easier to overcome than others.
You see, referring to the analogy earlier in this post about the January thaw, this phenomenon carries a lot of power. It can break up the ice and frozen ground, allowing the water to run free. So how can the Ren Water Day Master use this effectively? With a month’s energy, let’s try to overcome the smaller barriers first.
And since it is a Hurting Officer month, which also represents sales, why not spend some time focusing on honing your sales pitch to overcome sales objections? That’s a very literal interpretation of the Yi Chou energy. There are many courses online designed to give you an answer to every possible form of sales objection. These are frequently quick workshops that don’t cost a lot of money nor time.
But what if you are not working in sales? At the end of the day, we are all selling something, aren’t we? Again, the goal is to identify that small step which can help you start to break down certain barriers that are standing in your way. Who knows? This one small step could lead to another opportunity, and then another, and yet another as 2024 progresses.

December 2023’s Jia Zi month is an easy one for the Ren Water Day Master. Your Eating God sitting on Rob Wealth brings lavish parties and food, glorious food! But despite its mundane name, the Eating God is more than just food! Within the spectrum of human emotions, the Eating God represents your ability to be kind. Hence, the spirit of kindness.
Let kindness be the melody that accompanies your every step during the holiday season. Create a kindness advent calendar, featuring daily acts of kindness for yourself and others. In these intentional moments, cultivate a spirit of generosity that extends beyond the holiday season, becoming a guiding principle for a life rich in emotional wellness.
Initiate a community kindness challenge, encouraging neighbors to participate in acts of kindness throughout the month. Share stories of these acts on a communal platform, creating a tapestry of kindness that illustrates the collective power of goodwill. In these shared moments, discover the ripple effect that transforms communities into bastions of compassion, where kindness becomes a currency that enriches the lives of all.
As you engage in the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, let each action be infused with kindness. From the smallest gestures to grand acts of goodwill, let the spirit of kindness be the driving force behind your actions. Write notes of appreciation to those who often go unnoticed, extend a helping hand to those in need, and embrace the beauty of creating a world where kindness is not just a seasonal sentiment but a way of life.
For the Ren and Gui Water Day Masters, November 2023 is a good time to turn your focus on establishing clarity in your various collaborations.
In Chinese Metaphysics, Water represents or governs a number of keywords or abilities. One of them, is collaboration. Of the 5 Elements, Water is the only one that can easily meld into each other. While there are stark differences between a Ren Water Day Master versus a Gui Water Day Master, they both possess the ability to easily assimilate into diverse social ecosystems. Just like milk easily dissolves into coffee!
Regardless if you are a business owner or career professional, collaborative efforts is something we all engage in to a certain extent in our daily lives. This could be a business collaboration, a work-related collaboration, or maybe even a side project among friends! But how many times have you sat in on a meeting wondering why on earth are you there?
Ever walked into a packed meeting room where only three people are actively engaged while the rest are secretly (or not so secretly) thumbing through their mobile phones? Isn’t this a common scenario?
Teams require clarity to stay motivated and focused. To be more specific, team members require clarity about why their shared work matters. This is especially true when you are trying to rope a bunch of individual achievers from different departments to work together. Clarity about why the collaboration matters.
Without this clarity about the importance of their contribution towards the greater goal, it will be difficult to get the group moving in the right direction. When done masterfully, this level of clarity can even help you overcome personality differences among the team members.
However, given the fact that this is a one-month energy tilt in November, it would be suffice if you could focus on establishing clarity on what requires collaboration and what doesn’t. In essence, focus on establishing clarity about the roles in your collaborative efforts.
REN WATER DAY MASTER
The above is especially true for the Ren Water Day Master experiencing a Rob Wealth month where some form of leadership is required of you to overcome arguments, conflicts, gossips, and rumour mongering.
Alternatively, you could use the energy of the month to either crowdfund ideas by initiating brainstorming sessions where you get to pick the brains of the other professionals around you.
Can we find another use for this Rob Wealth month? When your competitor rises up to the Heavenly Stems, it’s a good month to spend some time studying their strategies.
GUI WATER DAY MASTER
Gui Water Day Masters, on the other hand, can turn this energy inwards to create internal clarity especially with regards to improving your personal relationships. A month ago, the October 2023 Bazi chart brought a sense of rivalry to the Gui Water Day Master. In November, there is a high chance that this feeling of rivalry may continue.
However, with this influx of Companion energy comes the opportunity to further enhance your pool of social contacts, acquaintances and friends.
Under such circumstances, having the clarity to filter the quality of your contacts is important. The energy is just bringing you a stream of contacts. It does not guarantee that every single person in that stream will be beneficial to you. Filtering them is your job! Along with this flood of new friends, might come those whom, from your perspective, are there solely for wanting something from you.
Therefore, having the self-clarity of what you are looking for in your personal relationships can help you navigate these waters. What type of support are you looking for? What type of support are you willing to give? What type of role do they play in your life? Similarly, what type of role do you play in theirs? Spending some time in November 2023 to create that internal clarity can be helpful as you expand your influence base while heading towards the excitement of the coming Period 9.
In Bazi, the Ren Water is visualized as a large body of water. The Ren Xu (October 2023), on the other hand, is imagined as a dam where a vast quantity of water is kept within the confines of a mountain. The October 2023 is awash with Ren Water energy. As the Water energy keeps rising, the pressure on the dam increases. Eventually, something has to give.
For the Ren Water Day Master, October 2023 could be a month to focus on breaking past self-imposed restrictions.
REN WATER DAY MASTER: BREAKING PAST SELF-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS
Often, the most significant restrictions we face are the ones we impose on ourselves. For the Ren Water Day Master, October 2023 presents with your Ren Water Friend star on the Heavenly Stem. This is a time for networking amongst your peers.
Of course, nothing to stop you from networking for fun. It’s also called hanging out. If the mere act of hanging out helps relieve the pressure somewhat, then why not?
However, to use the month’s energy to the max, it is best when the networking is anchored around several objectives. With your Ding Fire Wealth star in the Earthly Branch, you could network to find out what other people are doing and therefore, help you refine your plan.
Use your Wu Earth Influence star in a positive way by stepping outside of your comfort zone and engage with new people. As you gain experience and see the value you bring to these interactions, your confidence naturally grows.
Use Networking to access knowledge and expertise that you may not possess. By networking, we can connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries where you can tap into their insights and experiences.
All the above are small steps you can take within a month to build up enough confidence and willpower to break past your own self-imposed limitations. As you do so, watch your horizons expand and restrictions fall away. I have yet to meet a Ren Water Day Master who does not enjoy that.
A Bazi forecast for the month of September 2023 will revolve solely around the Xin Metal. The Month Master for September 2023 is the Xin You pillar which is a pure Xin Metal pillar. In essence, this month’s series, is almost akin to suggestions on how to use your Xin Metal. Here are some ideas for the Ren Water Day Master to consider:
REN WATER DAY MASTER: XIN METAL IS CLARITY
For the Ren Water Day Master, your Xin Metal Direct Resource element represents the ultimate clarity of thought. Therefore, with a pure Xin Metal pillar coming in September 2023, this is a good chance to gain some clarity before we rush headlong into the excitement of the coming year and Period 9. Here are some suggestions:
Achieving clarity in a month involves a combination of cognitive exercises, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle adjustments. Firstly, practice journaling. Set aside time each day to jot down your thoughts, ideas, and reflections. This process helps you organize your thoughts, identify patterns, and clarify your thinking. As you consistently engage in journaling, you’ll notice improved mental clarity and a better understanding of your own cognitive processes.
Mindfulness meditation is another powerful tool to enhance clarity of thought. Dedicate a few minutes each day to mindfulness exercises, focusing your attention on your breath or sensory experiences. This practice helps quiet the mind, reduces mental chatter, and enhances your ability to concentrate on the present moment. Over time, mindfulness boosts your cognitive clarity by training you to observe your thoughts without judgment.
Additionally, streamline your environment and routines. Minimize distractions by decluttering your physical and digital spaces. Create a dedicated workspace that is conducive to focused thinking. Establishing routines and setting specific times for tasks can help you prioritize and approach your work with a clear and organized mindset.
The Wu Wu (戊午) energies in June 2023 may feel rather coercive to the Ren Water Day Masters. The Ren Water Day Master is all about freedom of exploration. But here comes your Wu Earth (戊) 7 Killings, intent on channelling your energies. It may feel like circumstances out of your control may be forcing you into action that you are not entirely comfortable with. But who knows? This new route may lead to somewhere even better!
June 2023 is a good month to use your Ding Fire (丁) Direct Wealth to re-evaluate the overarching goals and objectives you want to achieve. Reflect on whether the new route aligns with the bigger picture. Can still help you progress towards your desired outcomes? Sometimes, taking a different route can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.
Look for potential compromises or alternatives that can address the concerns of all parties involved by activating your Ji Earth (己) Direct Officer. Explore possibilities for integrating elements of both routes or finding a new approach that satisfies the key objectives of the change. Finding a middle ground can lead to a solution that is more acceptable to everyone.
But most of all, when a Ren Water Day Master meets your Wu Earth (戊) 7 Killings, it’s all about allowing yourself to be guided. Like a river being channelled by the mountains, being open to guidance allows you to tap into the wisdom and experience of others. Their insights and perspective can provide valuable guidance that can help you make informed decisions or navigate challenging situations.
